A BOY PIONEER.

In 1874, when emigrants from the
Middle States were going to make
homes in Oregon, many young boys
Joined the pioneers and made the
hard journey over the plains and
mountains. One Of these lads, Joseph
Watt, of Missouri, is described by the
author of Mcdonald, of Oregon
He was about seventeen years Of age,
and was employed to drive cattle.
He walked most of the way to his new
home.
II have borrowed $3.50, Joe, to
fit you out" his father had said at
parting, and with that the young man
had bought a pair of boots, and in
vested the rest in pins and fish-hooks
to trade with the Indians. But new
boots! lie slung them over his rifle
and put on moccasins.
At certain point in the journey,
away back on Burnt River, the man
for whom Joe was driving said, You
had better leave us and hurry on into
Oregon. Provisions are getting
scarce. We shall need all there is
for the children"
"All right. | can take care of my
self" Without a morsel of food Joe
Watt and Elisha Bowman struck out
with their rifes-and Joe's boots.
"If we could only eat the boots!'
sighed Joe. Bare to the knees from
continually cutting off his trousers to
mend his noccasins he strobe through
the lacerating sagebrush.
Glow are you going to get down."
inquired the boatman, when every
other eager passenger had piled on
the Hudson Bay bateau sent up by
DR.. Mclaughlin. Alone on the shore
stood Joe Watt. How are you going
to get down?'
Il don't know"
"Have you any provisions?
"No, nothing"
"Can you sing or tell yarns?

that boat" So they started.
well, Figurehead, pipe up" was
the present demand.
With sad and solemn eyes, without
q smile, Joe sang, told stories. Every.
body laughed. The weary cmigrants
needed entertainment, and Joe was
born comedian.
The doctor was building a flour
mill at the falls, and, with some mis-
givings, Joe was engaged as car
penter At night he slept in the shav-
ings. The first pay day he was rich.
With $12 in hand, clothes, soap, Hud'
son Bay blankets were his.
Never blankets felt so soft. Pass
ing his hand thoughtfully over the
wool, within sound of the potential
falls, a great idea came into the heart
of Joseph Watt; Il will build woolen
mills on this Pacific Coast Years
later the boy fulfilled this resolve.

For my own part l doubted Van

have been biased in forming an i'll
opinion of him by my jealous dislike Of
the relation he had formed with Ed

Van Hoeck had spoken well of in my
hearing; and l fancied that he was
playing hypocritical part to obtain
the pleasure of her society and friend
ship.
BY the return mail Sir Edmund

nothing of the leather ease, which

he said that he must once more reln.

only part of this story is true-if the
girl got possession of the diamond, hid
it, and should restore it to Brace and
Thorne, they will make away with it,
and you will never see one OF them

the man who dropped from the oriel
window.

thick; but he was about the size of the
man l saw the night before going
from one window TO the other in the
left-hand side of the house.
One morning Brace said to me:

changes of location and all on con-
tinuous service. This is his first re-

Mrs. Alex Marshall.

Died at her home in Sand Spring
on November 3rd, 1907, Mrs. Mar.

Margaret McKichan was born at
Easdale, Argyleshire, Scotland. She
came to Canada, where she was mar
ried to Alexander Marshall in the
year 1856 In 1857 the young
couple came west and settled in the
vicinity of Plum creek in Delaware
county, Iowa; a few years later they
purchased large tract of land one
mile north of the present site of
Sand Spring. In the year 1870 she
was bereft of her husband and help
mate, with whom she had shared
the hardships and privations of a
of a pioneer life, and was left to car
ry on life's struggle with a family
OF three, one son and two daughters,
all too young to realize their loss or
to share with their widowed mother
the burden of sorrow and of care
that was SO heavily laid upon her.
She remained on the farm until the
year 1887, when she took up her
residence in Sand Spring with her
daughter Agnes, in whose loving
care she spent the last days of her
declining years.
Mrs. Marshall was a woman of
noble character, deeply devoted to
her family, loyal and true to her
friends and generous to everyone.
Many there are among the older set-
tiers who will recall some deed of
kindness, some act of love and self
sacrifice performed in her own quiet
and gentle way. 1t was her won't
