Fits For a Chaser.

I'D. Ogden Mills had many a good
story Of the old bonanza days" "
said San Franciscan. ''I Like es-
pecially his whisky story.
"a tenderfoot, the story ran, en-
tered saloon and ordered whisky.
Whisky in those days ard in those
parts was a very weird drink. Queer
effects were sure to follow it. The
tenderfoot knew he must expect
something out of the common, but,
for all that, he was taken abaek
when the bartender handed him a
small whisk broom along with tho
bottle and glass.
"Tenderfoot like, he didn't care
to expose his ignorance by asking
what the whisk broom was for, so he
just stood there and fdgeted. He
didn It drink. He waited in the hope
that somebody would come in and
show him what was what.
swell, in a few minutes a. big
chap in a red shirt entered. He too,
ordered whisky, and he, too, got a.
broom.
"The tenderfoot watched him
closely. He poured himself a gener-
Gus drink, tossed it of, and, taking
up his whisk broom, went over into
a. corner and carefully cleaned on the
floor space about 7 feet by 3. There
he lay down and had a ft.-Detroit

He asked so many questions that
day that he finally wore out his moth
er's patience.
"Robert,' she cried, ''if you ask
me another question I shall put you
to bed without supper. !"
Robert promptly asked another
and was packed off to bed. Later
his mother repented. After all, ask
ing questions was the only way he
could acquire knowledge; so she tip
toed upstairs, knelt beside Robert s
bed, and told him she was sorry.
"Now, DEAR" she said, eff you
want to ask one more question be-
fore YOU go to sleep, ask it now, and
I will try to answer.'
Robert thought for moment, then
said: "Mother, how far can a cat
spit?"

self to a comfortable sleep. The
older brother, though exceedingly
weary, determined to remain awake
and wait the issue of events.
He rose and = followed the figure
through long, damp, dark passages
till they reached large brilliantly
lighted room, where a ball was going
on. Above the strains of music and
the din Of voices pierced strange,
sharp, clicking sound, like the notes
of castanets.
Bewildered and dazzled by this
and silence to this gay festive scene
it was some moments before he could
collect his senses, but he was shock
ed by perceiving that these gayly
dressed ladies and their richly uni
formed cavaliers were skeletons
and the curious sound that. impress
ed him so strangely was the click
ing Of feshless jaws!
The figure at his side ordered him
to toke a partner from the hideous
throng, which he refused to do. hri-
tated at this refusal raised his arm
to strike, but the officer instantly
leveled at him the pistol he had con-
tinued to grasp and discharged it full
in his face.
With the shock and report he
started to his feet. The: white figure,
the bali room, the fearful, ghastly
dangers, all had vanished, and he was
in the room where he had supped,
but his brother lay dying at his side.
He had shot him in his dream and
awakened only to receive his last
utterance. From that awful Christ
mas night he was an altered man.
All the gayety had gone out OF his
life, all the sunshine had faded from
his days, and after few years OF
unavailing anguish Of remorse, he
found himself unable to bear the
burden of his regrets and put an end
to his life.

these lines:
"For the Lord Jesus Christ s sake
Do all the good you can,
To all the people you can,
In all the ways you can,
As long as ever you can."
Since being with us and becoming
one Of US she has endeared herself
to old and young, rich and poor,
white and black. Her rich graces of
heart and mind, her charming, COM
pelling personality and her eloquence
have become well nigh proverbial.
Truly she has given to the world
the best that she has and truly the
best-at least, the best of our love,
sympathy and good wishes go back
to her, and only the rich treasure
she has stored in heaven while here
will really show how much she has
accomplished and how much appre-
ciated her efforts have been.
The entire family Will be greatly
missed. The seven interesting "son-
fowers'' have won their way into
the hearts of all the young people
and the older ones as well, and they,
too, came in for their share Of regret.
We are confident that only sincere
and lasting regret follows IN the
wake Of this announcement. It will
indeed be difficult to separate Mr..
Kreps in thought from our new
church. It will be like June with
out its roses-or, color without light.
He seems as much a part of our
symphony in white and gold as the
pulpit or the reading desk themselves.
And when in the fullness Of time and
in the eternal fitness Of things our
esteemed shepherd and bishop is
called to glorious reward in the
land that is fairer than day that his
crown will be resplendent with many
more stars than would have been
his, had he not cast his lot among
us.
After May Is, MI. Kreps will no
longer be a familiar figure on our
streets, for he will then assume his
new duties. We congratulate Colum-
bia or Newberry, for one Of them is
to number this helpful, agreeable
family among her very own.
But we trust that, despite the
abundance Of good things and supe-
rior advantages that our sister
cities have to offer, we will not be
forgotten but that their stay in Pros
perity will prove one of the grand
est, most oft reviewed pictures that
hang on their fond memory's wall.

THE STORY OF THE ENCHANTED
HORSE.-(PART TW0)

II was midnight when at last the
horse stopped on some piece OF solid
substance. He found himself on the
terrace OF a wonderful palace, all
white and gold. with guards lying
asleep across the entrance. He enter
ed on tiptoe and saw that he was In
the apartments of some princess, and
without hesitation he crept toward
the couch where she lay asleep and
gently twitched her sleeve. The prin-
cess Weakened and looked up into the
eyes of the very handsomest man in
the world-at least, that was the prin-
cess immediate decision. He told her
who he was and his adventures as
briefly as possible. and then begged
the princess to tell him where he
was.
This said the princess. lis the
country of Bengal. and am the

welcome you to our land. In the
morning my father will receive you,
and in the meantime she awoke
several OF her attendants. and smiled
at their surprise at sight OF a mere
man In such place. They proceeded
straightway to obey their lady's or
ders. They lighted great number OF
long candles and conducted the
prince to the set OF rooms that were
set aside only for the greatest kings
and princesses.
The next morning the princess sent

they finally told him how 10 seek first

mariner he discovered asleep ON the
seashore. and took him by the arm,
demanding the way to the Hesperides.
The Old Man quickly turned himself
into stag, and then into a sea bird,

held on and would not let him go.

to the shore OF another great sea,

Into this he climbed and drifted for a
long time, till he came to land, and
what do you think he saw then? The
greatest giant In the world, named
Atlas, SO tall that his head was above
the clouds, so large that big trees
grew between his toes while he stood
there holding up the sky with his
hands. Atlas bargained with Hercules
to stand upon mountain and hold up
the sky for him while he, Atlas. went
TO get the golden apples for Hercules.
At each step the giant walked 15
miles He was gone 10 minutes. and

Did you ever hear of the golden
apples than grew In the garden Of the
Hesperides? All, they would bring
a great price nowadays, but probably
there isn't a single apple tree like
that in the whole word today. Many
adventurous youths used to seek them
and few ever returned, for the APP
plies were guarded by a monster dra-
gon with a hundred heads, fifty OF
which always were awake while the
other fifty slept.

he came upon some beautiful young
women, wreathing flowers by the riv.

and prepared a feast, while he told
OF his many adventures. He had kill
ed an enormous snake when he was
only FIVE months old. He had slain
the greatest lion in the world. whose
skin he wore, and had fought with the
ugly hydra, a monster with nine
heads. AS fast as he cut off one Of
these heads two grew In its place,

Four Flathead Indians of kalis-

PIERRE Chelvain, Eneas Free and
his wife Martha, created somewhat
of a sensation at Natatorium park
Tuesday evening, while they were
taking in the sights of Spokane,
and incidentally the sights in the
park.
After much arguing among them
selves they first decided to try the.
figure s. AS the car careened
around the sharp corners, one OF
the Indians gave vent to the ex-
hilaration and let out a warwhOop
that brought Captain Coverly and

The Indians were not molested,
however. and next tried the shoot
the chutes."
AS the boat flashed down the
long incline there was still more
whooping and the spectators en-
joyed the sight as much as the
red men. The JOY wheel was next,
and while they may be able to
rid bucking bronchos, the wheel
was too much for them, and
