wars. Ten of these were conflicts
with Indian tribes, Of which the most
important were probably the Black

might be added-the ModOc war of
1873. The important wars on the list
are the War OF the Revolution, the
War Of 1912, the Mexican war the
Civil war, the Spanish war, the war
with Germany. The minor conflicts
included in the list are The war with

BUTTERFLIES FAREWELL

"Good-by," said the golden butterfly.
ut is late for me to be out and l must
leave now. I have come around be-
cause it is what they call Indian sum
mer.
"That is when another week Of sum
mer comes in the autumn when people
have almost become used to cold
weather
But they are glad to have the week
Of summer come just the same!
"Sun I must say good-by now, for
there will be no more weeks Of sum
mer or of Indian summer"
"Good-by, too" said the black butter
fly with the two golden spots on his
wings, for I also must be going"
He had golden spots on each fore
wing and two Neutrality-suspicious. ones on
the two back wings. He had black
feelers
One could see his spots right
through his wlngs-they showed on
either side, on top and underneath.
There we're two little orange spots
on each Of his legs and at the right
side there were black feelers.
"Good-by said the little humble bee,
who was still gathering honey from the
flowers, 81 must go away from the
out-of-doors world, where l cannot
stand the cold which will be here SO
soon now.
DO you remember how hot 1t was
during the SUMMER I remember one
day when the sea was hazy and misty
with the heat and when the sun
seemed so hot and as though he didn't
even like It himself! / felt as though
he had kept getting hotter and hotter
and then hardly knew how to stop him
self.
And everything was aglow with the
heat and with the grayness Of mist and
the red of the suns rays as he went &c
bed with the promise of another hot
day.
and then the moon came ou
dressed in his fancy dress suit which
makes him a half moon
"And the tide seemed lazy in thu
heat. And the breakers Of the oceal
could hardly move, they felt so hot.
1T does seem so funny when the coo
days come TO think Of those hot days

Just Little Stories

w. F. Laraway told good one the
other day. Before Mr. Laraway came
to Hood River he operated one of the
leading iewelry stores of Iowa at Glen
wood. The store was in hotel build
ing. One hot summer day guest ar
rived at the hotel and was assigned the
room Immediately over Mr.. Laraway' s
store. He had swetered all day, and
retiring late in the evening was ex-
pecting a poor night as the thermome-
ter registered 100 degrees at 10 p. m.
Clouds had arisen in the sky. 1t was
one of those muggy nights that try
mems souls.
But the hotel guest laid him down
and then he paused and held his hand
to his ear. The sound was sweet music
to his ear. All at once, it seemed the
ar was washed clean and he could
vision raindrops pattering down and
water pouring from cutters. He pulled
the sheet up over him and slept sound
Iy. The next morning he learned how
powerful is suggestion. 1t was as hot
as ever, no rain had fallen for weeks.
The visitor had merely heard the tick
ing of many clocks in Mr.. Laraway's
store and had taken the sounds for that
of a shower.
