WAYS OF LONG AGO.


Last night dreamed 1 was awake;
Then, waking up, 1 dreamed,
NY mind just went without a break
To where the waters cleaned
And dimpled down beside the road.
/ saw the willows trail
Along the stream, just like | knowed.
| saw the teeter tail,
And heard the bluejay CALL and call,
And saw the eddies swing
In curves below the waterfall,
An heard the ribins sing.
And was just boy, and walked
The ways o long ago.
The catbird came again and Knocked
Just like l used to know.
And in the orchard loaded down
The heavy branches swung,
And in its coat of sober brown
The thrush its mathis sung.
And breezes moved the ripenins grain
In pillows to and fro,
And | was just a boy again
In ways Of long ago.
o, welcome dreams that take us back
To childhood's happy days!
Along some well-remembered track
In pleasant woodland ways!
o, welcome song Of orioles
And thrush's mathis clear
That bring us back the orchard knobs
And days of yesteryear,
Till we can hear the lullabies
And feel the rhythmic swing
That used to lull our tired eyes
When mother used to sing.

OVER 1000 RABBITS KILLED.
Recent Drive Near Echo Was Largest
in Northwest.

Echo, Ore, Jan. 1.-THE rabbit
drive held on lower Butter creek this
afternoon was the largest in the his
tory of the northwest. 1t is estimated
that 10000 rabbits were killed, and
700 people participated. A special
train came in from Heppner, bringing
about 200 people. A special coach
was attached to the regular train to
bring about $50 people from Pendle-
ton.
The drive covered about 1900 acres.
The skirmish line, which covered a
distance of over two and one half
miles, was formed about three miles
from the corral.
From the start to the finish the
most intense excitement prevailed.
Men, women, girls and numerous
boys, armed with sticks of all d1-
mansions, started war on the timid
lit'la boasts. Some of the women
rode horseback, mary of them going
at Dreakneck speed when a Jack
would escape through the lines. 9TH
er women, like the male participants,
walked the entire distance, chasing
the fieetfooted beasts here and there,
killing many of the Dummies in their
path. Some women, after they had
started, could not stand what they
called the cruel slaughter Of the little
animals, and turned back.
AS the advance line marched toward
the corral the rabbits were so thick
that the very ground seemed to be
moving. The rabbits came in such
droves and with such a wild rush
that they could not get into the corral
fast enough, and they piled up fully
two feet deep, hundI eds smotherine
to death.
The cannery has only sufficient cans
to care for 200, and the remainder
will be taken by farmers to feed hogs
The drive was well managed by II
Rogers, on whose place it occurred
and everything went off without
hitch.

A Trinity OF Dangers.

The trinity of dangers which the re-
public has to fear are immortality, in
differentsm, and fanaticism. Immor-
atty produces one or the other, accord
Ing to temperament. Unfortunately,
in the body polite. indifferentism and
fanaticism do not antidote each other.
The one is dry rot; the other, combus-
ton and swift destruction. Men who
love Their country enough to be glad
to serve ii, and are wise enough to
steady it.; who honor the law, and
therefore are careful what laws they
enact; men who can hasten ultracon-
servatives without losing their hold
upon them, and are able to check ia.
natics without driving them to riot.
Gus extremes; men who discern where
reform ends and destruction begins
who wish to possess only what they
can assimilate and beneficisily govern
these in each generation can save the
State, and these only.-Century.

TOLD BY PETER LARSON.
Story of Escape From Death in claI-
lam Wreck

Seattle, Jan. 12.-Peter Larson. mill
ionaire contractor and mine owner,
tells the story of the wreck of the
steamer Clallam, near Victoria, and
his rescue.
His experience was a terrible one,
as he was in the water battling for
his life fully an hour and half after
he was thrown from the Clallam, and
before he was picked up by the tug
Sea Lion.
To make matters worse. Mr.. Lar
son was very sea sick all through the
accident, although he remarked that
he forgot all about his sea sickness
once he found himself struggling in
the waves.
81 don't know what time she went
down." said Mr.. Larson in recounting
his experiences, "but l think it was
about o'clock in the morning.
want to tell you, she was a mighty
good little boat, or she never would
have stayed on top of the water as
long as she did. She fought as long
as she could, and then she turned over
on her side and went down.
"The vessel went down on the port
side, and many of us climbed up on
her bottom and chung there as long
as we could. You see she was water
logged and did not sink as fast as she
might otherwise have done. We did
the best we could to bail her out, and
every man able to walk worked like
demon. But it availed us nothing.
l know just before she finally sank
slipped and was flung, it seemed to
me, far out into the sea. Fortunate
ly, l landed right in the midst of
lot of wreckage, and but for that, 1
undoubtedly today would be food for
the fishes.
81 grabbed a door that went float
ing by and hung on to that until a
small boat from the Sea Lion spied
me and picked me up. How long was
| in the water? Well, it was a little
more than an hour and half Cold?
Not a bit cold, but you know 1 had
to keep working to keep afoat and
| guess l was in a perspiration most
of the time. Work." and Mr.. Larson
smiled a little reminiscently.
did l say work." he asked in a
dreamy sort of voice. "Well, l should
say so. l never worked so hard in
my life, depend upon that. A terrible
sea was running, and the wind was
blowing great guns. And yet, 1 think
even if the boat had not reached me
would have eventually escaped the
ravages of the sea and drifted onto
one of the islands. l was headed for
one, anyway, and the wind, waves and
tide were rapidly taking me to safety.
am only sorry that others were not
more fortunate"

FED upon yellow fever victim. The
health authorities were trying to dis
cover If the disease was carried by the
insect, and gave those submitting to
the test a reward of 500.
Although she had nursed two Span
iards who subjected themselves to the
test and died, Miss Mas offered her
self as a sacrifice, if necessary, to sci
ence, and fell victim to the disease
as a result Of the bites of the mos
quito. She was taken to the yellow
fever hospital, and her sister, Miss So
phia Mas, started from home to reach
her bedside, but death won the race,
and she reached there only to hear
that her sister had passed away.
A bill has now been introduced in
Congress for a pension for the mother

EPISODE OF REVOLUTION.
Where Ia Oak Box Sent by Earl OF
Buchan to Washirgton7

Buchan to Washington?
Our attention has been drawn to a
very interesting episode In connection
with Scotland and the great republic
Of the West, says the Scottish Patriot
Of Edinburgh. 1t seems that the Earl
of Buchan, the friend and patron of
Robert Burns, was so delighted with
the heroic part that General Washing
ton took in the American war of indie
pendence that he sent him box made
from the oak that sheltered Sir Will
lam Wallace after the battle Of Fal-
kirk. The letter which we subjoin
from Lord Buchan will explain the
story better than we can tell it. But
we are left to solve an interesting
problem, and we appeal to any Of our
American friends who can help us to
solve it, and that is, to whom did Cen
eral Washington s.ye the box, and in
whose possession is it now? The letter
is as follows:
"Dryburgh Abbey, June %, 1791.-
Sir: To use your own emphatic words:
May that Almighty Being who rules
over the universe, who presides in the
councils of nations, and whose provi-
Dental aids can supply every human
defect consecrate to the liberties and
happiness Of the American people a
government instituted by themselves,
for public and private security, upon
the basis Of law and equal adminisra-
ton of justice, preserving to every in
dividual as much civil and political
freedom as is consistent with the safe
ty OF the nation, and may He be
pleased to continue your life and
strength as long as you may be in any
way useful to your country
II have intrusted this sheet, inclosed
in box made of the oak that sheltered
our great Sir William Wallace after
the battle Of Falkirk, to Mr.. Robert
son Of Aberdeen, with the hope of his
having the honor of delivering it into
your hands and meeting with your pro
lection as an honest man seeking fol
bread and for fame in the new world
by the exercise of his talents.
This box was presented to me by
the Goldsmiths' Company Of Edin
burgh, from whom, feeling my own I'm
worthiness to receive this magnificently
expressive present, requested and OBJ
tanned permission to make it over tC
the man in the world to whom
thought it was most justly due.
Into your excellency's hands 1 com
NIT it, requesting of you to transmit
it, on the event Of your decease, to the
man in your own country who shall ap
pear to your judgment to deserve 1
best, and upon the same consideration
that have induced me to send it t.
your excellency. With the highest es
TEEN, have the honor to be. sir, you,
excellency's most obedlent humble ser
want, BUCHAN."
