Mr.. Woodland has the following re-
port of what occurred at this time by
Colonel Kelly, the officer in command
when the volunteers reached this
point there were not more than 40 OF

feetest horses. Upon these the In
dams poured a murderous fire from
the brushwood and willows along the
river and from the sage bushes along
the plains, wounding a number of the
volunteers. The men fell back. The
moment was critical. They were com

rounds the La ROGUE field and charge
upon the Indians in the bush.

There is a representative in Con-
gress from the West whose special
pride it is to recount the quaint OBJ
servations Of his 9-year-old daughter.
Not long ago. according to the proud
father, little Ethel came to him one af-
ternoon and informed him that she
had just seen the Presidents wife
walking with one of the ladies of the
cabinet circle. And, papa" said
Ethel, "she isn't anything like as old
as grandma"
"Why, my dear!" exclaimed the con-
gresham, "of course she isn't! Mrs
Roosevelt is a young woman! How In

"Well, papa, replied the youngster,

Whale Flesh or Beef?

Whale meat at from three to six
cents a pound is to be the solution of
the meat trust question, according to
some Newfoundland spectators who
are seeking to make a market for
whale meat
1t is declared that the flesh is finer
favored than beef, more nearly sug-
costing venison, and is capable of be.
ing prepared in variety of ways.
Whales are not to be found in this
part of the globe in sufficient mum
bers to make serious inroad into
the sale of beef but it is declared by
the promoters that they have already
built up a successful trade in whale
meat with the West Indies, and that
they shortly intend placing it upon the
London market.
It is to be shipped in special steam
ers, and even at a price of six cents a
pound will return handsome profit
while the cheaper cuts may be re-
tailed for half that sum.

The Best of Life.


Not till life'S heat is cooled,
The headlong rush slowed to a quiet
pace,
And every purblind passion that has
ruled
Our noisier years. at last
Spurs us in vain, and. weary OF the
race
We care no more who loses or who wins
All, not till all the best of life seems
past
The best of life begins.
To tell for only fame,
Handicappings, and the tickle gusts Of
praise,
For place or power or gold to gid a
name
Above the grave whereto
All paths will bring us, were to lose our
days;
We, on whose ears youths passing bell
has toled
In blowing bubbles, even as children do,
Forgetting we grow old.
But the world widens when
Such hope of trivial gain that ruled MS
lies
Broken among our childhoods toys, for
then
We win to self control!
And mail ourselves in manhood, and
there rise
Upon us from the vast and MINDLESS
height
Those cleaner thoughts that are unto
the soul
What stars are to the night

Strange Sport That Is Enjoyed by Ma.

A Siberian correspondent of Lon.

relating to form of fox hunting
which is probably unique. The hunt
ing of foxes with eagles takes place
among the Kirghese, in the southwest
district of Siberia, known as the gen
eral government of the steppes. 1t is
favorite sport with the Kirghese and
takes place in the autumn and early
winter, when the foxes coats are rud-
dy and perfect, though hunting is not
always confined to this period. The
eagles selected for the purpose are
powerful birds, of such weight that a
small wooden support is carried by
