Good Company for 1909

You are careful what choice of
friends the young people of your
household make. You do not open
wide the door to those whose speech
and behavior betray ill-breeding and
lax morals. Are you as careful to
shut it against books and periodicals
that present vulgar and demoraliz-
ing pictures of life and it's purpose?
Perhaps you are among those who
have found that The Youths Com
panion occupies the same place in
the family reading that the high
minded young man or woman holds
among your associates. The Com
panion is good without being "goody
goody." 1t is entertaining, it is in
forming. In its stories it depicts
life truly, but it chooses those phases
of life in which duty, honor. loyalty
are the guiding motives.
A full description Of the current
volume will be sent with sample
copies of the paper to any address
on request. The new subscriber
who at once $1.75 for years SUBJ

panion's new calendar for 1909, I'm

City Attorney O. NJ. Nelson has
leased Joe Laws house, partly fur
nished. He moved in last Saturday.
This act set the tongues wagging, it
being said that when young bache-
lor leases a furnished house there
must be something doing The
logical conclusion seemed irresistible
and memorable. The arrival of Mrs.
Girls Nelson and two daughters the
fore part of the week solved the
problem, however, they being his
mother and sisters, from Wisconsin,
who will live here in the future.
The G. A. r. and Woman's Re-
lief Corps, of Montesano, have Sc

will be held in the opera house and
will be joined in by all the churches

The Indian Experimental.

A missionary In charge of small
church on the Indian reservation at
Onondaga held evening services for his
people at which subjects upon which
he lectured were not strictly religious.
One evening when the little building
was well filed with braves and their
squaws he described the solar system
and told them that the earth revolved
about the sun and also turned over
once in every twenty-four hours.
Early the next morning the priest
was awakened by knock. He opened
the door to find big Indian wrapped
in blanket standing on the porch.
"why. Obagaw he exclaimed. us

An Elephant Bridge.

In ancient times in India a famous
general used elephants to bridge a
stream. He possessed a battalion of
over 500 elephants, and. approaching a
river where the stream was too rapid
for his troops to cross, he ordered the
elephants in and had them placed side
by side, facing up and down the
stream. Then planks were brought
and laid from the back Of one elephant
to that of another. and over them the
troops passed in safety. the only trou-
BILE experienced being the showers OF
water which the elephants kept up by
sucking up the refreshing liquid In
their trunks and tossing 1t over their
bodies.

Hunting With
Dorothy.
By LITTELL M'CLUNG.
Copyrighted, 1903, by Associated
Literary Press.

Dorothy was a sportswoman from
the tip Of her dainty pumps to the top
of her aristocratic head. Never had
Owen Compton met a girl in whom so
many delightful qualities were blend
ed
That dashing creature known as "the
athletic girl he cordially disliked.
holding that young women were in
tended primarily for coy corners.
So, when introduced to Dorothy, he
felt sure he would not like her bit.
Handsome she undoubtedly was, and
Queenly. too, but with her queenliness
Dorothy was righteousness itself She
could ride with the skill of cowboy
the widest pony that ever leaped
fence. She could shoot like an ex-
pert and row like a university oars
man.
And after galloping gayly over the
fields on one of her papas most dan
gerous young horses she would come
into the drawing room and, with sym
pathetic touch, play a score of old
time melodies surcharged with senti-
ment
Before many moons Owen discover
ed that with all her athletic propensi-
ties Dorothy was as tender natured
and as warm hearted as any girl who
breathed the ozone.
The result was inevitable.
Therefore when Dorothy looked up
from the piano, coquettish light In
her dark eyes. and asked. "Owen. when
are you coming out to shoot cartridges
with meT' Owen replied that next
morning would find him ready with
cartridges and gun.
He appeared by sunup, and Dorothy
was awaiting him with her own favor
tie setter and her own brightly pol
ished little shotgun. In hunting boots,
short skirt and brown jacket, whose
large collar fell back over her shout
ders, disclosing her round, white
throat, she was a veritable vision Of
the forest
"As live, but you do look stun

gave her rapid survey. Another

1t be birds or hearts It's hard to say!'
She laughed merrily.

Then down the long slope they went
and out into the fields. The autumn
sun was dull. golden disk that
seemed to cast its color over the leaves
and the rudy fruit. AS they made
their way through an orchard Owen
stopped and, throwing n stick up into
the boughs, brought down several fine
apples.
With evident relish Dorothy set her
sharp teeth into one of the largest OF
these. The appeal Of the picture was
too much for Owen. and he began to
quote something about the drowsy
winds that famed "a heart ripe as the
apples grown in orchard lands OF long
ago"
She stopped him with disapprov-
ing glance. do you remember what
we started out to dor" she asked.
Eyes, to shoot birds. not to talk SEN

She nodded, and they pushed out
into the open fields again. The setter
a hundred yards ahead. was already
standing a covey Of cartridges. They
hurried up close.
