his glance and met hers.
But there was something in his face

Of deserted shore, toward the skin

Kannoga was crushed down under
its weight. but he had reached the
lake and fell where the water was
nearly knee deep. He felt the panther
release its grasp into order to find firm
footing, and when he raised up for air
discovered its dripping head little more
than an arms length from his own.
Then he took deep breath and lay
down upon the bottom, hoping that the
panther would leave him.
1t stood there. however, watching
over him and waiting.
He started to crawl out from shore.

into his leg and dragged him back.
Then. without letting go its hold, the
panther Immediately shifted its posi-

shallower water.
He made desperate efforts to hold
fast to the lake bed, for he knew what
the end would be IL he reached the
shore, but his fingers only plowed
through the sand.
The sharp point of a rock that tore
him as he was dragged over 1t gave
him hope; he grasped 1t with both
hands and chung with all his strength,
but in an instant his fingers were dig

At last he raised his head for air.
The panther at once let go of his leg

1t moved slowly in the water, and
Kannoga, by great effort, stood up.

SPIRIT OF ADVERTISING.


ject by Sixteen Year Old Girl.
"The spirit Of advertising" is tn.
theme which sixteen-year-old Ruby
Brooks dwelt upon at the Commence
ment exercises of the California
School, where she was student, and
this is what she said:
ITO advertise Is to make known and
to attract public attention to some
particular article. That it is, or rath-
er has, become an art, in fact, q
science, no one will question Not
every one has it in his power to con-
coct something that will attract pub
lie attention and at the same time
make something known; and these
are the two essentials of a good adj
vertisement
ut Is interesting to notice how the
movement Of written advertisements
commenced. 1t originated in Amer
lea, as so many of the advanced ideas
have. In the old Colonial days a man
found COW which did not belong to
him in his pasture.
HE conceived the idea of going to
the editor of their little paper and Of
having him make little item that a
stray cow had been found. The edit
or did SO, and in few days the own
er came after his COW.
This man to whom the cow be-
longed had ship coming In from
England, so he went to the editor and
told him he would pay him so much
If he would make a list of the things
on the ship. which he, the merchant,
would have for sale.
He sold great many goods because
Of this little notice. so others did 1t.
Soon distinction was made between
advertisements and news, and great
movements began in this small way.
'There are over S2O0,O00,00O spent
yearly in the United States alone for
advertising. But surely, all this ex-
pense and trouble is not taken by
some few who wish to make attrac-
tive signbcards and to fill up the mag
aziIes and daily newspapers. No, the
parent OF it all is competition. AS
competition is the life of trade, SO,
too, it is the producer and instigator
OF advertising.
There is constant struggle to
make ones goods more acceptable to
the general public than the next ones.
Did you ever notice that there is
scarcely an advertisement but con-
tains the adjective in the comparative
Or superlative degree? 1t is always
better than that one. the best of all
The best known, and the very best that |
can be made.
This great competition of rival |
parties in the form of advertising,
while it may cause hard and antag-
)nistic feelings. is the best thing pos
sible for the country. With 1t pro-
,ress cannot stop.
LET me give a simple illustration |
rom school. life. A senior said this:
l never studied so hard as I did when
was freshman. / never failed in
recitation, simply because I was try
ng to get ahead of another pupil
You see, competition was the life of
lis study, Of his progress. His reci-
atoms were his advertisements.
Besides this competition between
ivals, there is the striving of the new

vercome rival, it is even harder for

| hannoga became very weak and his
legs trembled feebly under him, but
he was thankful that they were long,
for he could stand with his head in the
cool evening breeze while the cougar

AT first the panther made fearful
sounds as the water filed it's lungs.
but these presently ceased, and at last
it hung dead weight in the boys
hands. He let 1t sink then and loos-
ened a stone from the lake bed to roll
upon its head.
His wounds were slight, but painful,
and the terrible battle had so weak
ened him that when he reached the
shore he fell exhausted, with his face
toward the tepee.
He could not see AakIoo now. nor
even the canoe that came in a moment
to where he lay.
Gray Beaver and an old friend. pad

girl as she ran on the shore, and had
laughed when she told them why she
could not turn her head to look after

Then they had seen the boy and the
cougar in the edge of the lake. and
their paddles had swung faster and
with stronger strokes than they had
used for many a year.
When Kannoga opened his eyes Gray |
Beaver leaned over him and spoke gen.

LAND FOR THE
DAKOTA SETTLERS

Land Commissioner Il. s. Boyd has
reserved land for the delegation of Da-
kota farmers witch is coming to Hawaii
10 settle. Mr.. Boyd has received letters
to the effect that the farmers will be
here within less than a month. All ar
rangements are being made through
Franz BucholtZ of Kona, Hawaii, whose
own splendid farm on Hawaii was the
means of inducing the Dakota men to
settle in the islands.
Commissioner Boyd has set apart a
tract Of land in the South Kona district
Hawaii, and each of the new settlers
will be allowed to take up from five
hundred to a thousand acres as range
land. Later. if they demonstrate that
the soil in that district is of a quality
suited for small farms, adjoining land
will be classified for homesteads. Alto
gether. only six or seven farmers with
their families will come in the first dell
egation, but If they prove successful in
their undertaking others will speedily
follow. The new settlers have about
Slj0,000 to invest in their farms, which
should be amply sufficient to provide
Tor their necessities until such time as
the land begins to produce an income.
