What History Means.

It is not sufficient to discover the
eternal and abiding core OF history
For. having thus discovered it, IT lies
to our hands to be appropriated and
assimilated and used for the work OF
the world in the present time.
Having eternalized history, 1t be-
comes every mans obligation to give
it an immediate personal significance,
to translate it. as it were. into such
terms as will compel it to yield up its
deepest content in strength and in
spiration and wisdom for the enter
prises OF today.
On this view history becomes q
problem which every age has to face
for itself, reinterpreting its inward
ness in the light of it's own condition,
and needs and appropriating it anew
to meet the exigencies Of its own sit
uation.

driving Glasgow and Rabbeson from
the first settlement on WILDLY island
in lS4S. He made a great drive with
dogs. and secured sixty deer for
feast of assembled warriors. He coun-
seled in favor of driving the white
men out of the country.
Glasgow and Rabbeson went back
to Tumwater, and the next year Pat
kanim led an assault on Fort Ms
qually. While Pat Kanim was par
leying inside the stockade, his brother
was killed leading an attack by the
Indians. Pat Kanim was spared. and
in 1850 he made a trip to San Fran
cisco in a sailing vessel. What he
saw on that journey made him re-
solve to become a friend Of the white
man. He faithfully lived up to that
resolution for the rest of his life.

useful
Printers, as a rule, do not become ac-
tors; therefore, II is interesting to know
how Bert began his career.

printers trade I was hankering to be an
actor" he said, recently, but my mother
and brother thought was crazy and did
~all in their power to discourage me,
went TO work finally in a shop where
books were ruled ana one afternoon I
cut work and went to a variety show.
While I was away an explosion occurred
and the very spot upon which usually
stood was blown to pieces.
II didn't know anything about the ac-
cident and went home at the usual time
because l did not want my folks to know

Things seemed rather restrained when
I went into the house and presently my
mother asked me where I had spent the

as / could.
