MOUNT LASSEN EXHAUSTED
Recent Eruptlons Spent Energy of Old
Volcano, Says Scientist.

Washington, Aug. 6.-The recent
eruptions of Lassen peak, California,
spent the energy of the old volcano.
This is the conclusion of j. S. Diller
of the geological survey, who has just
completed a study of the peak in CO
operation with officials of the forest
service. In the report to the geolog-
ical survey Mr.. Diller expresses the
belief that while the mountain doubt
less will continue to be an active vol
canic curiosity it will not develop into
a devastating fury after the manner
of well known foreign volcanoes.

which she did. and learned that rab-
bits had destroyed the cabbage during
the night, while Tige was shut in the
cabin.
John found that the trail he had
blazed was sufficiently widened by i'm.
migrants to accommodate an ox-cart.
When looking for a place to camp for
the night. he discovered a cabin. In
the distance he saw above the door a
sign, Board and bait for man and
beast" This was a pleasant surprise.
and he rode up to the door and called.
Who's yere?"
John Hears News.
The landlord had recently immi-
grated from Pennsylvania and had
much to talk about that was news to
John. In the early morning John was
ready to resume his journey. but was
surprised to see a stability dressed
man limping up the road. Instantly
he thought of Betty and feared she
might be frightened at the sight of this
tramp, but his host assured him the
man was peculiar. but harmless. and
and if Betty needed assistance he
would be a friend to her.
John made his land purchase and
succeeded in interesting Betty's broth
er in a mill site about a mile from
the trading post. He told him the
country was rapidly settling and there
was no mill within twenty miles of
the post. AS an inducement for him
to build John offered to donate ten
acres of land, and join the neighbors
In erecting a cabin for his family.
When near his home John saw the
tramp seated at his campfire in the
edge of the woods. John rode up
greeting him and asked his name and
destination. The man replied that
his name was John Chapman: that he
was looking for a spot to plant his
apple seed. which he brought from
Pennsylvania. John told him he had
a piece of land sloping to the south.
and invited him to come up the next
day and look at it. Chapman liked the
location. and John broke up the
ground assuring him that he would
care for the trees until they were
large enough to be transplanted, when
he would sell them to the settlers for
one cent apiece. and would retain the

knew the names and personal history
of the occupants of every house he
passed. His genial face, his knowl-
edge of current topics, his engaging
manners, his hearty laugh. his inter-
est in everybody young and old, born
and unborn, made him more powerful
as healer than all the vile medicine
he gave. We shall never see his like
again.
How people lived to be so very old
in spite of all the drugging and bleed
ing we do not know, unless we accept
the theory of the celebrated physiOlo-
gist of Bonn, DR.. Pfluger, who said
that the chief condition of longevity
is something intrinsic in the consti-
tuition" something which cannot be
exactly defined and which must be
set down to inheritance. Or we may
accept the statement of Metchnikoff
that lit is plain that any factor to
which long duration of life has been
attributed disappears when many cas-
es are examined. Naturally sound
constitution and a simple, sober life
are favorable to longevity, but apart
from these there is something un.
unknown which tends to long life"
Some of the above information
about the old family doctor" was
cleaned from the memory of reading
McMaster's great work entitled "A
History of the People of the United
States" several years ago. This is the
best history of American development
yet written, because it describes the

Death was believed to be the result
of divine wrath and was always sent

conversion take on him, or wouldn't

Not one of the present day remedies

or hold in check the most loathsome
maladies, was known.
And yet with all the crudities and
ignorance charged up to these good
old times" the family doctor was gen
orally the most cultured man in his
community. He had the best of what
literature there was, poets. philoso-
piers, historians, and a few romances.
He had a microscope, sometimes a
skeleton, often collection of geolog-
ical specimens or little room for
studies in zoology or botany. He gen.
orally headed all movements for local
improvement, presided at public meet
ings, was the first to sign public sub
scriptions, spent his money at the
church socials and camp meetings, and
was a great power for good. The mod

money until Chapman came that way
again. This was the origin Of many
fine orchards in central Indiana.
Business at the trading post increas-
ed rapidly. John found il necessary to
erect large cabin for q warehouse:
also an additional room to his cabin
to accommodate his increasing family.
The little youngsters rise around him
SO numerous they quite astound him"
During the war of 1912 the settle
ment OF Longacre was never attacked
by the Indians. John made friends
OF several Of the chiefs and by his
honest and just dealings with them,
gained their confidence.
When Billy was fourteen years old
his father gave him a colt to raise.
and planted field of corn which Billy
was to cultivate and gather the crop
to be sold at the mill. the proceeds to

was a box OF tools. the next a saddle
and bride and a pair OF saddle bags.
As soon as the sawmill was establish
ed on the river John secured lumber
to build two-story frame house Of
eight rooms. 1t had stone chimneys
and glass In the windows. The fire
places were much smaller than those
in the cabin. and required andirons
to support the sticks.
John sold small tracts OF land near
the post to worthy and desirable neigh
Dor. and thus a village grew up
around him. He fed horses and cat
tie on the prairie and hogs and geese
In the lowlands. This required very
little attention. The geese fed on
fish. frogs and tadpoles. The hogs
rooted up the ground in the forest in
search of edible roots. They ate field.

small creatures. They were useful In

When the spring sunshine melted
the ice in the river, Betty's brother
brought her home in his canoe. A
loud whoop from the river brought
John hurriedly to the landing. John
could hardly believe his eyes when he
saw Betty approaching with a small
bundle in her arms. which she present
ed to him, saying, This is John Long.
Jr." John gazed long and loving at
the little face and then said, This
boys name is Billy" and Billy 1t re-
manned to the close of his life.
Betty was delighted with her clean
floor and new furniture, which includ-
ed a sugar trough near the fireplace.
In the bottom was folded fawn skin.
and another was spread over the top.
This she knew was Billy's cradle. She
began at once to tidy up" as women
will do, and when John came into sup
per 1t was hard to tell which pleased
him most, the mothers lullaby or the
merry whirring Of her busy spinning
wheel.
Betty had another surprise in store
for him while she was at the settle
ment. She and her brother had a
small legacy left them by an uncle in
Virginia. All legal requirements had
been completed and Betty brought her
share home with her. Now it is WELL
known that a pioneer was never salts
fed with the land he owned, but al
ways wanted more. 1t was Johns
proposition that they should purchase
the quarter section adjoining their
land, and to this she agreed. providing
that one section would be called Bill
ly's land and preserved for him.
Betty Left at Home.
This purchase necessitated Johns
making a visit to the nearest land
office, which would require two or
three days, leaving Betty and Billy
alone in the cabin. She constantly af-
firmed that she would not be afraid.
but in reality she was in terror lest
hostile Indians might attack them. AS
night drew near she called Tige into
the cabin and barred the door. Then
she sat down by Billy's cradle to listen
to the noises in the forest, to keep
Tige, who was restless, from barking.
AS soon as the door was opened in
the morning Tige ran to the spot
where John had set out cabbage plants
