there is to be found favorable swim
ming hole, where the water is consid-
erably over the head of the tallest
boy.
The accompanying illustration ex-
plains itself. A long spar or a wood
en- post, held by plug driven through
hole, is balanced by means of several
large stones.
The spar swings easily, and to the
outer end rope, with loop, through
which the head and shoulders of as
piring swimmers are thrust, gives a
reliable swimming master which will
allow boys to go lover their heads"
without danger, providing the end of
the spar hangs over water of sufficient
depth.
OF course the beginner using this
spar can swim only in the arc Of a cir
Gle. but he can practice the strokes
until he learns how to sustain himself
in the water with ease.
Trying to brighten beginner is often
followed by disaster. Ducking younger
boys has in many instances resulted
in the drowning of the victim. II boys
who can swim would assist beginners
until they acquire the art they would
be comforting blessing upon the hui
man race, which, while not apparent
at the time, may in the future reflect
great credit upon them.

A PRETTY JAPANESE
LEGEND

The japanese have a curious legend
which centers around the dainty per-
son of their beloved empress.
Some centuries ago there was an
empress who was beloved-nay, almost
worshipped-by her people because she
was so wise and kind and gracious. In
her days, all went we'll with the peo-
pie and the country. 1t was the gold
en- age of Japan.
Now the Japs hold that after great
lapse of years, this adored royal lady
has returned to earth and once more
assumed human form, in the person
of the present Empress Harouko, in
order that she may guide the country
and the people through all the dangers
with which they are surrounded and
preserve them safe from harm.
Probably this is about as true as
was the story of the reincarnation Of
Jan Chinn the First, but there is nc
doubt that the japanese believe it and
that they go out to battle with the same
feeling that animated the west coun-
try buccaneers in the days of Queen
Elizabeth.

EARLY H1sTo1Y.

About 3l2 years ago an old Greek
pilot named Juan de Fuca was sent out
by Spain to discover the strait which
bears his name.
One hundred and ninety-seven years
later Captain Hendricks, an American,
explored the strait of Juan de Fuca,
Strait of Georgia and Queen Charlotte
sound and told about the country found
here.
In 1904 the government sent the
Lewis and Clark expedition to explore,
the Columbia river, which forms most
of the southern boundary of the state.
In year later the explorers had
followed along the Missouri across the
Rockies and by the way of the Clear
water, Snake and the Columbia rivers,
in the same year they reached the Pa
cifc ocean.
While the territory was being ex-
plored and settled there was a dis
agreement between the United States
and Great Britain, as to its ownership,
and war was imminent, but finally a
peaceful settlement was reached by
which the present boundary line be-
tween Washington and British Column
bia was established.
Washington territory was organized
in 1853 and it became a state Novem-
Der IL, 1889.
Elisha P. Ferry was the first gov
ernor of this state
Washington contains about 69,lS0
square miles. The greatest length
from east to west is about 800 miles
and the greatest width from north to
south is about 900 miles.
Washington is called the Ever
green state" because of its great for
ests of evergreen trees, such as fir,
pine. spruce, cedar, tamarack, larch
and hemlock.
The Olympic forest reserve contains
2,lSS 800 acres.
Mt. Rainier reserve. including the
Pacific forest reserve. contains 2,234,-

MY FIRST BASS.

had always fished in little creek
for small fish and did not know what
it was to catch a large fish such as a
bass. One day my uncle said he was
going to 60 fishing in the river for
bass and said I could go along if !
wanted to go. l thought this would
be a rare treat, so l was anxious to
go.
The next morning we started out to
90. Ny uncle had got minnows the
day before so we had plenty of bait
We waded in up to our knees. 1t was
not long till l felt something tug
ging at my line. l. pulled him right
in without playing hi ma bit. He only
weighed pound and half, but
thought he was a whale. We fished
the rest OF the day, but neither of us
ever had another bite.

"My dad threw me into the water
and l just had to swim. l knew I'd

story! Then he swells up with inn
portance while his companions gaze

ton.

this statement will not bear investi-
cation. Some persons really claim
that they learned in this way, but the
amjcrity of boys learn to swim through
association with older boys who are
willing to teach them.
Every boy should know how to swim.
An effort is being made to teach every
soldier in the army of the United
States how to care for himself in the
water, and this, it seems to the war
department, is almost as important as
knowing how to shoot.
1t is impossible to tell boy in so
many words how to swim. He might
Just as well be told how to fly. Some
practical hints can be given, how
ever that may assist would-be-swim-
mers in their efforts.

inches long. The cross piece should
be of the same length and proper

We will call the up-and- stick
ABB; the lateral stick CD; the point
where the two cross Z.
When the sticks are fastened to-
gether CID should cross ABB at +,
which is located at a point 10 lis
inches from A, or in other words, the
distance from A to Z is Is per cent
Of the length Of ABB.
CD should be bent 4 per cent of
its length, which is two and two-ffths
inches. This bend is made by using
light wire, bending the ends to con-
form to the arc of per cent. The
wire of course takes the place Of the
old-time string, and gives the kite
great rigidity.
When the frame is finished cover il
loosely with manila paper, loosely
enough SO that it can belly in" some

COLORED MEN.

Why shouldn't colored man sit
down to the dinner table with white
man?
Why, because he is black. Black!
What difference does it make if he is
black beneath the skin; he is the
same as white man. Another thing
is. he also belongs to God. and why
shouldn't ne be treated with respect,
Perhaps he have heard people say
they had better be slaves again. This
is due to the fact that they are ignor-
ant and haven't had enough attention
given them in the way of education
and they know better than to commit
crimes or become outlaws.
Then let us encourage Booker T.
Washington and his work.

WHAT SAVED OUR UNION.

The saving of the United States
from the hands of Great Britain IN
the revolutionary war was due to the
fact that we had true soldiers, soldiers
that were anxious for our country E
welfare.
The winning of freedom was due not
only to the fact that men fought, that
women fought in their way. The Ia
dies of the revolutionary would sit
for hours by their fresides all alone
and mend socks for the boys at the
front.
The boys at the front would go with
out food and proper care for weeks
even months.
Then can anyone blame me when
say our ancestors were loyal?

WALKING AND THE AUT0Mo.
BILES,

The man with the automobile rigs
up and prepares for spin. He rides
through the country, sees farms and
farmers and thinks he is getting a
good rest from his office work. His
thoughts are suddenly arrested by a
severe bump and smash. His au-
tomobile has run into brush pile and
he is badly shaken.
He cannot go to the Office the next
morning, but is lying in his bed.
The man who walks goes for his
rest from Office duty. He is overtaken
by the automobile, but does not envy
the man in it. because he knows he is
getting the exercise and what is real
rest from office duty. He reaches
home tired. but still he is rested
rested from office work. The next
day he goes to the Office ready for
another hard week.

1t is nothing like walking when You

birds kill the incects and worms that
