You need be in no hurry to get away from

The heaven of authors lies in infancy; and
I'll tell you what | mean by this. Some of
the best things written by our story -tellers
have been founded on their recolections OF
early days.
George Eliot's books are full of such, and
so are Thomas Hardy's In fact, the last

one of his last volumes he was within twenty
miles of the place he was describing, but
would not go near it for fear of disturbing

Hawthorne once said everything is beauti-

from the ideas you CLEAN their. You may
to some extent GROW out of them, but they
will never be lost.

to the younger of us its charm is all that of

are somewhat older its artistic workmanship

Lost iD the Woods

In some parts of the White Mountains the
wanderer can be safely guided by the course
of streams which flow in the direction from
which he has started, but if he is ignorant OF
his bearings he may become confused by the
appearance of the water-courses and led far
away from the object of his search By fol.
lowing stream, however, he is more likely ia
be led into logging camps, or near other hu.
man habitations, than if he had no such guide

To be on the safe side the hunter or ex.

a water-course or lake, but if he finds himself
turned around and there are Others in the

III YOU have ever been lost in the woods
YOU will not be likely to forget the sensation.
1t is not a pleasant one. In dense forest
the sun is SO shrouded by the trees that its
position is very difficult to determine at any
time of day, and at its best the sun is not a
very reliable guide, and when darkness falls
there is absolutely no guide at all
Trees look distressingly alike, and very few
persons possess the ability to climb to the
ton of forest monarch to get their bearings.
Even this resource would be futile if the
forest was of any great extent.
Persons lost ON the mountains or the prai-
ries are apt to move around in circle and
therefore a compass is an invaluable aid, pro-
yided care is taken to obtain the bearings of
the place to which they wish to return before
leaving it; but when mists have settled down
upon the submits of the higher mountains,
it is not prudent to attempt to traverse them,
as a false step might lead the pedestrian over
the edge of precipice. The true policy in
such case is to remain quiet till the atmo-
sphere clears enough to make further walking
safe.
Instances have been known of persons
creeping on their hands and knees over a
path with which they were familiar, and thus
finding their way back to their starting point |;
but in this case the path was well defined
and there were no dangerous ravines near by.

There was but one reply to such ques-

and creeping along a rock that lay on the
margin of deep pool. he threw his line,
and soon found that he had actually hooked
large trout.
That first experience was always remem

famous Daniel Webster his recreation was
still fishing; He never forgot his early love
OF this kind, for when he became a member
Of the Legislature of Massachusetts, he in

forbade, under pains and penalties, the taking

wrote OF him as boy:
lie was a great reader, and | remember
sunny parior window, almost liz a room,
where many books of adventure and fairy
tales We're read by him. Close to his home
was the reservoir prettily situated lake
surrounded by trees, and with many romantic
hooks on the banks. Here we often used to
go on exploring expeditions in quest of Curl
osities or wild Indians"
Mr.. Besant, in quoting this, says
Here we get at the origin Of 'Bevis.' Those
better porportioned and shorter, would be
the most delightful boys book in the world
will remember how the lads played and made
pretense upon the shores and waters of the
lake. Now they are travellers in the jungle of
wild Africa; now they come upon a crocodile;
now they hear close by the roar of lion;
now they discern the traces of savages; now
they go into hiding; now they discover a
great inland sea; now they build a hut and
live upon desert island. The man at thirty
six recalls every day of his childhood, and
makes story out of it for other children"
So you see, boys, that if you are to become
writers when you grow up. the games and
amusements of many odd experiences you
are having now, must provide YOU with ma
terial for your work. Nothing in this world
is ever lost. In the meanwhile, if you are
wise, you will keep your minds clear of the
"dme neovel, which is only another name
for rubbish in literature.
You may take grown-up boys word for

perhaps be better understood.

NEW SCHEDULE TODAY-BUS-

THE CHANGE WITH FAVOR.

The Clearwater train left the Lew
iston depot on the new schedule
promptly at Z o'clock this morning,
with a good number of passengers for
Clearwater and prairie points.
Among the passengers were par
ties who reside at Grangeville, Cot
tonwood and Nezperce, and the ad-
vantages of being able to reach their
homes early this afternoon were
fully appreciated. The new service
will also be a great accommodation
to Lewiston parties who have busi-
ness associations at Clearwater
points, which they can visit during
the day and return to the city this
evening.
Reports received today from all
sections of the upper country remov-
ed from the railroad indicate entire
satisfaction with the new schedule
as travel from interior points will be
permitted to visit the outside ant
return in one day less time than un-
der the former conditions.

FINANCIAL SITUATION is SUCH
THAT ALL FACTIONS WILL
GIVE WAY TO SOME MEASURE
FOR FINANCIAL RELIEF.

WASHINGTON, Nov. $50 few
members of either house of congress
are at the capital who deal directly
with financial legislation that it is
impossible to make any definite pre-
dictions of the course that will be
taken at the approaching session.
All here, however, agree that con-
ditions are such that something
must be done Various opinions as
to the course that should be taken
are expressed.
One reason for believing that there
will be little difficulty in reaching
an agreement on some basis is the
fact that the so-called conservative
element of the republican party is in
complete accord with the administra
ton that some relief is absolutely
necessary.
1t is not believed the democrats
will offer any stubborn opposition
but rather will content themselves ir
throwing the responsibility of the
action upon the party in power.

The county. commissioners met to-
day and awarded the contract to
William Fl. Dew of Sweetwater for
the Improvement of the Johnson
road from Tammany to Sweetwater
creek, the contract involving $3.50.
One other bid was received for this
work, from J. M. Provost and was for
$699.
The work involves the widening of
the grade and the removal of rocks.
1t is the highway used in the trans
portation of wheat from the Waha
and upper Tammany country to the
Sweetwater station. =.
One bid was received for the inn
provement of the Kate Connolly
road, near Clifford, but no action was
taken, pending other bids.
The commissioners this afternoon
conducted hearings on two petitions
for herding districts on the Nezperce
prairie, The hearing at l o'clock
was on the petition of David Lowry
ct al, asking for a herding district
in the Cold Springs precinct. At 2
O'Clock the commissioners took up
the petition of John Johnson and
others asking for a herding district
/ in the Nezperce precinct. A third
petition has been received asking for
the establishment of district in the
Fletcher and Mohler precincts, but
no hearing for this petition has been
set.
Under the terms of the state law
the residents of precinct can ask
for the establishment of a herding
district, and upon the presentation
of this petition to the board of coun-
ty commissioners hearing is set
when all parties interested may ap-
pear and present their case. If the
district is established, it becomes un-
lawful to allow stock to be at large
within the boundaries of the district.
