victim and told the boy to come back
or he would kill him.
"After a time" says the boy, "Thoms
prepared to get rid of the body. He
made me help him. We tied it up very
securely in an old sail bound with
ropes and fastened two ten pound iron
weights to it. Thoms was awfully
slow about it. He made me carry it
out with him to the dock. 1t was bit
ter cold, and l was shivering with cold
and fear.
N''There was a hole in the ice between
the ship and the dock that had been
made to draw water through. VIC
threw the body into this, and it went
down like a stone. l went back to tbs
ship with Thoms. and l sat in the
cabin with him, afraid that he would
kill me. After three or four hours he
sent me out to get a newspaper. i

Keissig took the police to the hole

with graphing hooks, they hauled up
the body Of Minnie Larsen. Thoms
was then arrested.

Descent OF

to Bottom
Of Popo-
Catepetl

J. Fletcher Toomer, an English engf-
neer, recently descended the crater OF
Popocatepetl and spent the night at its
bottom. His object was to inspect the
sulphur deposits in the interests OF a
syndicate. He tells the story OF his ex-
perience:
"The crater of ~Popocatepetl is 1,o1o
feet in diameter and 1900 feet deep.
The first 800 feet is a sheer precipice OF
lava terminating in a ledge about three
or four feet wide. From that point
down the debris that has rolled in
from the rim during ages has made the
crater funnel shaped, the sides being
about an angle of 40 degrees. The snow
of years has frozen there, and the In
dams get down from the ledge by cut
ting steps for their feet. On the edge
Of the crater is an old windlass or
winch of crude native manufacture,

Everybody remembers that editorial
in the Oregonian the next day after
the Republican state convention en-
titled "a Remarkable Career" in
which it declared not only in sub.
stance, but i'm the plainest of words,
that Mr. Furnish was the ideal states
man whose matchless qualities were
not to be described in one day by any
one man, nor at any time in any one
language. The descriptive powers of
the average man could not hope to
rise TO the occasion. While under the
spasm of its bubbling admiration, the
Oregonian declared, "The man who
has done what he has through sheer
force and will has capabilities and a
future to which it would be hard to
set a limit"
Great guns! But now comes the
painful part Of the story. Day by
day and week by week the Oregonian
has gradually, but regularly, in way
that is commented upon by everyone,
withdrawn from the skies Of sycophan-
tic adulation, and now, so far as the
paper seems to indicate, the Wonder
full Man from Umatilla is assuming
the everyday form or common clay.
We regret this very much, for the
man OF UNLIMITED capabilities" is
hard to find, and easily ranks far
above such men as Lincoln, and we
feel It our duty TO place Mr. Furnish
on his guard, for the only other man
whose Capabilities were unlimited"
was finally crucihed on account of that
fact.
A man Of that peculiar cast of intel
lect and power should be careful TO not
display all his qualities at one time.
1t is dangerous to the deity thus ex-
posed, and unnecessarily tempts the
multitudes.
Perhaps it is with the thought of
Mr.. Furnish's safety that the Oregon
ian has abandoned calling special at.
tention TO his unlimited capabilities, 3"

lery, ct al.

SCHOOL YARDS eEAurlFlEp.

State Superintendent Olson, of the
public schools of Minnesota, has just
issued a circular letter for distribution
in all the schools, in which he makes
strong plea for the garden, and
shows how easy a matter II is to beau
tify the school yards, and make a
beautiful flower garden and playground
out OF what is nothing but bare spot
Of ground Superintendent Olson says
that school gardening may be classed
as a fad by some, but at the same time
he is free TO admit that the fad that
takes children out into the open air,
into the sunlight and brings them in
contact with Mother Earth and ma
ture, is less Objectionable than the
fads that Keep the boys and girls CON
fined indoors In learning carpentry,
sewing, or something of that sort. It
is Mr. Olson's idea to introduce into
the schools elementary instruction I'm
agriculture and horticulture, and he
believes that the few minutes a day
devoted TO this matter will improve
the child morally, mentally and phys
ically.
Country Life in America, one Of the
new periodicals which has recently
come TO us during the epidemic Of
new magazines, contains an article in
the current number on this question
OF school gardens, in which Il de.
scribes the work that was done in
this direction in four Eastern school
districts, where the yards were moth
ing but plots of clay and sand, ham
mered down into stone-like hard
ness. The children were interested In
the movement, and, under the direc-
tion of the teacher, spaded up the
yards, mixed the needed fertilizer,
planted grass seed and flowers, and,
by giving the matter a little care each
day, they had school yards that We're
a matter OF pride TO every one of
them. Unsightly fences were covered
with vines, castor beans, etc, new
shrubs and trees were set out and
the whole yard was made a park. 1t
