IGNORANT CITY BOY
MIGHT HAVE LEARNED MUCH
FROM COUNTRY COUSIN.
At Least One Trick With Horses That
He Was Not Familiar With
y No Problem for Man
Who Knew.

A city boy. He was playing in the
street when the rubber ball he was
tossing slipped from his hands and
landed just back of the off hind foot
of big gray horse attached to a
truck and standing patiently by the
curb awaiting further orders.
The boy made several furtive
reaches to re cover the ball. but as
actual posses, ion involved close prox-
unity to that massive leg and iron
shod hoof he hesitated. A rapid
search of surrounding territory re-
suited in the finding of piece of stick
about six inches long.
Its length was disproportionate to
the danger zone, but the boys sense
of peril decreased as his anxiety grew
at the possible loss of his plaything.
He made a quick jab with the stick,
but succeeded only in striking the ami
mails hook, causing it to prance in
dignantly.
second attempt and the horses
shoe was struck. The big gray start
ed forward. The youngster barely
had time to jump out of the way of
the front wheel. Then the animal
with innate cussedness, backed up
again and in SO doing placed his hoof
on the ball and pinned it to the
ground.
Frightened by his close call from in.
jury and grieving for the loss of his
plaything the boy looked around un.
certain whether to laugh or cry. Just

He saw the boys final attempt to
recover the ball and his narrow es
cape from injury. Two strides and he
was beside his victim.
Amt you got no sense?" he de-
manded. Want to get run over or
have your brains kicked out?"
In few sentences the boy eX-
planned the situation and pointed to
the ball. The big man patted the
horse on the flank, spoke few sooth-
ing words to the animal and ran his
hand deftly and pettingly down the
leg until he reached the hook

and the animal, accustomed to fire.

iiently lifted it's leg.
With his free hand the big man
extracted the ball from its resting
place and tossed it to the lad, who un-
gratefully scampered away without
waiting to thank his benefactor.
Beats thunder how these city kids
don't know nothin' about horses +"
said the big man disgustedly as he
busted off his hands and resumed his
way.

Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine
wash goods when new, owe much Of
their attractiveness to the way they
are laundered, this being done in
manner to enhance their textile beau
ty. Home laundering would be equal
ly satisfactory If proper attention was
given to starching, the first essential
being good Starch, which has sufficient
strength to stiffen, without thickening

that up to the present time Mr.. Cot

has been reported In other parts Of

E. W. Stephens EuIogy to the
Hawaiian Islands.

Mr.E. w. Stephens, formerly own
er OF the Columbia Herald, who is
now enjoying a trip abroad, had the
following contribution In the Pacific
Commercial Advertiser, Honolulu,
Hawaii territory, on November l:
"My friend, Mr.. W, j. Bryan In his
book, descriptive OF his tour around

an Islands A Pacific Paradise |
have thought of The Ocean Oasis
as a good name for them. A trouble,
find, since visiting the islands Is
the tending to run superlatives and
engage In such seemingly exaggera
ted forms OF expressions as to
awaken incredulity on the part OF
those who have never visited the
islands and to whom | may relate
my impression.
81 have travelled over practically
all OF the United States and over
most OF Europe. No where have l
enjoyed, in one place, such combina-
ton OF beautiful scenery, delightful
climate, productiveness OF soil and
such possibilities for the accumula-
ton OF wealth. The isolation OF the
islands Is one OF it's chief attractions
to one seeking either health, enjoy
ment and employment. It Is a relief
to escape the touring hustle and
friction OF the inland and to find
quiet:and opportunity for thought,
and rest and communion with ones
seli2afforded by these island. No
where in the world have | seen such
blending OF coloring or such variety
OF scenery!.in the mountain, valley
and ocean. Nowhere have | known
such uniformity and delightiulnese
OF climateiand nowhere more profus-
lon oi,fowers and rich tropical vege'
tstion. 1t is a land OF beauty and
should give to the world race o.
artists and poets.
Zone OF the features of special ad
vantage is the intermingling of &C
many diverse races in such friendly
and mutually helpful relations, and
not the least important consideration
attaching to the islands Is the fact
that they occupy strategic, CONVEX
gent place in the Pacific, rendering
them a key to commercial and polit
ical power. 1t was q great day fol
the United States when they we're &C

Tribute of Respect.

Whereas our heavenly Father in
his infinite love and wisdom has seen
fit T." remove by death from our COM
munity Miss Leila and little Carrie
Baker and taken them to be with him
in heaven above, therefore be it re-
solved,
First, That we bow reverently to
the will of him who doeth all thing
we'll.
Second, That by their death we
have lost two cheerful friends al.
though we are comforted with the
thought that our loss is their eternal
gain.
Third, We extend our sympathies
to the bereaved family and pray
Gods richest blessings upon them.
Miss Leila and little Carrie were
gentle, sweet and kind to all and tho ,
their earthly pilgrimage was short
they had scores Of friends and loved
ones for whom they will anxiously
wait to greet in heaven.
Two precious girls from us are gone,
Two voices we loved are still,
Their places are vacant in their
homes
Which never can be filed.
What happy hours We once enjoyed,
How sweet their memory still;
But they have left an aching void
This world can never fill.
'Tis hard to break the tender chord,
When love has bound it to the heart
'Tis hard, so hard to speak the word
Must we forever part.
Sleep on dear girls,
And take your rest;
God called you home
And thought it best.
