Boys Essay on Clothing.

Here is an extract from an essay.
written by boy in a London school:
Clothing is an article which every.
body should wear. The least OF this
article is worn by savages or natives.
which is a piece of cloth or few
leaves or feathers round the waist in
cold countries, same as Eskimos. the
people wear more clothes than we do.

can skate all the year round, except
about one thaw there is in summer.
II they walked about like natives they
would catch cold directly and die of
bronkitis. We put clothes on which
are nearly like our bodies, some have
caps, coats and trousers, but women
and girls wear hats and frocks to tell
who they are"

The Cost of Politics.

In his "reminiscences of Grover
Cleveland, George F. Parker tells a
story concerning prodigal expendi-
lures in politics. A rich man who
had been nibbling at the Democratic
nomination for governor of New York
asked William c. Whitney's advice.
This is the advice: "Of course, you
ought to run! Make your preliminary
canvass, and when you have put In
100000 you will have become so
much interested in it that you will
feel like going ahead and spending
some money"

Halo, the houseboat!"

"Oh, it's too bad you've been wait

"Of course I've been waiting!" she

toward her. Then down the steps
flashed Helen Holbrook in white. She

A Elaht on a Houseboat.


At ten o'clock / called for horse
and rode out into the night, turning
into the country with the intention
of following the lake road to the re-
gion / had explored in the launch a
few hours before. All was dark at
st. Agatha's as l passed. No doubt
Helen Holbrook had returned in due
course from her visit to her father
and, after accounting plausibly to her
aunt for her absence, was sleeping the
sleep of the just. Now that / thought
of the matter in all its bearings, l ac-
cused myself for not having gone
directly to st. Agathas from the lone
ly house on Tippecanoe creek and
waited for her there, demanding an
explanation of her perfidy. She was
treating Miss Pat infamously; that
was plain; and yet in my heart was
excusing and defending her. fam
fly row about money was ugly at
best; and an unfortunate-even
criminal-father may still have some
claim on his child.
Then, as against such reasoning,
the vision of Miss Pat rose before me
and / felt whatever chivalry there
is In me arouse with a rattle of
spears. Paul Stoddard, in committing
that dear old gentlewoman to my care,
had not asked me to fall in love with
her niece; so, impatient to be thus
swayed between two inclinations, /
chirruped to the horse and galloped
swiftly over the silent white road.
The whole region was very lonely,
and now that the beat of hoofs no lon
ger rang in my ears the quiet was OPP
pressive. / struck through the wood
and found the creek, and the path be-
side 1t. The little stream was still
murmuring its own name musically,
with perhaps a softer note in defer
ence to the night; and following the
path carefully / came in a few min
utes to the steps that linked the cot
tage with the houseboat at the creeks
edge. 1t was just there that l had
seen Helen Holbrook, and l stood
quite still recalling this, and making
sure that she had come down those
steps in that quiet out-of-the-way cor
ner of the world, to keep tryst with
her father. The story-and-a-half cot
tage was covered with vines and
close-wrapped in shrubbery. A semi
circle OF taller pines within shut the
cottage off completely from the high
way. l crawled through the cedars
and walked along slowly to the gate.

that I could hear his quick breathing,
and something in his dimly outlined
crouching figure was familiar. Then
it flashed over me that he was the
dark sailor l had ordered from Glen
arm that afternoon.
He was now within arms length of
me and jumped out, swung the chair
high and brought it down with crash
on his head The force of the blow
carried me forward and jerked the
chair out of my grasp; and down We
went with a mighty thump. l felt the
Italians body slip and twist lithely
under me as l tried to clasp his arms.
He struggled fiercely to free himself,
and l felt the point of a knife prick
my left wrist sharply as / sought to
hold his right arm to the deck. His
muscles were like iron, and l had no
wish to let him clasp me in his short
thick arms; nor did the idea of being
struck with knife cheer me greatly
in that first moment of the fight.
My main business was to keep free
of the knife. He was slowly lifting
me on his knees, while / gripped his
arm with both hands. The other man
had dropped into the boat and was
watching us across the rail.
Make haste, Giuseppe!" he called
impatiently, and / laughed a little.

then the man in the boat let go twice

he shouted from below. i heard the
Italian scraping about on the deck for

| was satisfied to let things stand as
they were, and leave Henry Holbrook
and the canoe-maker to defend their
own lives and property. Then, when
/ was about midway OF the steps,
man plunged down from the garden
and had me by the collar and on my
back before l knew what had hap
pened.
There was an instant's silence in
which / heard angry voices from the
houseboat. My new assailant lis
tened, too, and / felt his grasp on me
tighten, though I was well winded and
tame enough.
l heard the boat strike the platform
sharply as the second man jumped
into It; then for an instant silence
again held the valley.
My captor seemed to dismiss the
retreating boat, and poling pistol
into my ribs gave me his attention.
"Climb up these steps, and do as
l tell you. IL you run, will shoot
you like a dog"

choldngly, for the Italian had almost
strangled me and my lungs were as
empty as a spent bellows.

esque spot for it.
AS l leaned against the rail study
ing the lines of the house, heard sud-
denly the creak of an oarlock in the
stream behind, and then low voices
talking. l drew back against the
house and waited. Possibly the ca
noe-maker had been abroad, or, more
likely, Henry Holbrook had gone forth
upon some michief, and my mind flew
at once to the two women at st. Aga
thas, one of whom at least was still
under my protection. The boat ap-
preached furtively. and l heard now
very distinctly words spoken in
Italian:
Have a care; climb up with the
rope and I'll follow"
Then the boat touched the platform
lightly and a second later a man
climbed nimbly up the side. His COM
panion followed, and they tied their
boat to the. railing. They paused now
to reconnoiter-so close to me that
could have touched them with my
hands-and engaged in a colloquy.

And here it was a case of two to one.
The men began stealing across the
deck toward the steps that led up to
the cottage, and with rather more
zeal than judgment took step after
them, and clumsily kicked over a
chair that fell Gathering wildly. Both
men leaped toward the rail at the
sound, and fiattened myself against

silence was again complete.

of the voices.

The question has been asked why
there should be so many fires in our

Outing When the trees are cut in
the forests of Germany, France or
Switzerland, the entire material in
the tree is marketed and removed,
leaving no inflammable litter on the
ground In our American forests, ow-
ing to lack OF market for such mate
rial, fully one-half of the tree-the
limbs, smaller branches. twigs and
foliage-are left upon the ground,
where they soon become dry and fur
nish material for a forest fire.

Of the tree, including the smaller
twigs, Is SOLD The sale of this minor
product constitutes over one-half of
the revenue Hence, when the for.
ester is through with his tree cutting
no inflammable material is left upon

lumbermen could sell the limbs and
tops of the trees instead of allowing
them to go to waste for lack of n
market, they would not be Obliged TO
