~Ah, Tinkleboy, you come" murmured
the Indian boy, as beautiful shining
salmon Topped at his feet
Tinkleboy always answered when
Feather Wing called.
u want to know where the whitecaps
live when they are not playing on the
water-top, as they are now" said
Feather Wing.
And the salmon answered: "Ah, they
have beautiful home down under the
water amid fairy-like rocks and pretty
green growing water things. The wind
is their father and every time he blows
across the lake he calls to them and they
rise to the surface, where they frolic
about until the good father is forced to
journey to another part of the land"
Thank you, Tinkleboy," said Feather
Wing, you may go now"
Another fash of silver and the FISH
was gone.
To this very day, every time the white
caps appear on the lake, little Feather
Wing smiles happily, for he knows the
good father has come back once more to
play with his children.

This has several advantages. most OF

A Monument For Thomson.


The first stone in the monument that the
people of Seattle will in after years build to
the memory of Reginald Fl. Thomson was
carved this week when it was discovered
that it was the building of the Milwaukee
along the right-of-way of the Cedar river
pipe line that was responsible for the city
being out of water and light for whole
week. Mr. Thomson told them just such
things would happen and he is now OF the
opinion that the half has not been thought
of. Even Thomson's enemies are now pour
ing out faint praise on him for the stand he
took in the building of the Milwaukee, and
as time passes on they will not be pouring
faint praise upon him, but they will. be
shouting his praises from the mountain top
for, what he did for Seattle. G 1t is our hope
that Mr.. Thomson will live a.see the tide
turned his way and hear for. himself the
praise of those who now damn him. -

to usefulness that was responsible for the
establishing of reformatory at Monroe.

criminals, but often become criminals be-

they have served in penal institution
