A Ftctionless Fable for
the Far
nv ANN LIALE.


There was once a man whose boast
was, 1T want what want when J
want IT.
He was always very sure OF what he
wanted-and equally sure that in the
changing course of human nature he
might not want 1t long and 80 had best
10 altar It while it meant something to
him.
When he arrived at the age OF 90 his
life was marked by series Of mile
stones that meant little desires accom-
plishsd and little points gained. But
there had been so many little satisfac-
tons In his life that he had no time for
big ones.
He had never gone hungry at the
lunch hour and then sat down to dinner
with added zest OF starved hours to
whet his appetite.
Suddenly when he was &c life brought
bsfore him two things he wanted. One
was the love Of a beautiful, young girl
and the other one a position OF great i'm
portance. To have both these things at
once was almost impossible. At last
the man was faced by the need OF max
ing . choice.
The girl ne loved had an endless array
Of snitors and TO win her meant the
need OF conquering them. The position
he oFayed had a long list Of applicants
and to win II meant absorption In hard
work.
The man sat down for twenty-four
hours and considered the matter so earn
estly that he entirely neglected to ea'
or sleep. Here was the girl he loved %
we'll that he felt sure he would go on Low
ing her through long years Of happy
marriage II only he dared take time &c
win her.
Here. on the other hand. was the posi-
don that would crown his career viii

time he became a strong lad and his
mother said, Your father was killed
by the cold wind brothers; therefore,
YOU must exercise yourself TO become
strong, and practice wrestling so that
YOU can avenge yourself of the blood
OF Your father"
So he grew up, gaining in stature
and increasing in strength by prac-
ticing at pulling up trees. He be-
came SO strong that he could snatch
up a large pine or fir tree with one
hand and toss it away like a weed.
Then he decided he was strong
enough TO undertake the avenging OF
his fathers death, and besought his
mothers consent that he might do so.
Gaining her permission he started
in the night and went up the Column
bia. First he encountered the lofty
Cascade mountains and had much
difficulty to cross, So sharp was the
conflict that he was thrown a mile
into the air and could not get down
until he was almost hundred miles
up the river but he made such a roar

rified at what was to happen; men

Old Indian Legend Telling
of Famous War of Winds

the Indians, challenged the Chinook
wind brothers to a wrestling match,
the losers to forfeit fame and title.
The Chinook wind brothers accepted
the challenge and came to the mouth
Of the Umatilla river, the place Of
combat. Coyote, or Speelyai. was
chosen as umpire. ,ne yanquished to
lose their heads.
Speelyai, who was good deal of
scamp, pretended to favor both sides
but betrayed each, He cunningly said
to the grandfather and grandmother
Of the Chinook brothers, If You see
your sons are about to be thrown,
YOU must pour oil on the ground
where they are wrestling and your
sons will not fail" To the grandpar-
ents OF the Umatilla wind brothers, he
slyly said, IF YOU see your sons about
to be defeated, throw ice upon the
ground"
So they cleared off the ground and
made everything smooth for the con-
test, and the eldest OF the five
brothers on each side took hold for
the contest. When the Chinook
brother was about to so down.
Speelyai would say to the old grand

father, Throw on OIL" and he did so
and then the other grand father threw
on ice, and soOn,, between the oil and
the ice the ground was so slippery
that not even a god could keep his
feet. The Chinook brother went
sprawling down and while he was
down Speelyai cut off hS head with
huge stone knife.
The second Chinook wind brother
then took hold. He shared the fate OF
his older brother, fell and was be-
headed During the wrestling the old
grandparents always threw on oil and
ice; but the cold wind grandfather al
ways threw on his ice last and so the
Chinook brothers were all killed.
1t happened. however. that the old
est brother who was killed first had
a wife down at Astoria who was about
to become a mother. she shortly aft
