ONERWORK.
j. Montague, in n. Y. We

When Uncle Zeke was forty-cight
The neighbors used to say.
Hes lookin' pretty bad. of late,
He ought to learn to plav.
A man toward fifty's past hi, prime
He oughtn't to forget
II he keeps at it all the time
Hard work will XII him yet"
When Uncle Zeke was sixty-two
The parson shook his head.
Ezekiel has too much to do:
He's all worn out" he said.
A man Of family has no right
His health to disregard;
! fear he'll pass away some night
He's working far too hard"
When Uncle Zeke was eighty-four.
Still toiling on lis farm.
The boys around the country store
Were moved to grave alarm.
Said they: "He ou0ht to drop the
plow
An spend his time in bed
Hes worked too long already now.
Next year'll see him dead"
Now Uncle Zeke Is ninety-three
And works from rise Of sun
Till dusk, then stays around to see
The evening milking done.
He's strong of limb and clear Of eye.
No job he'll ever shirk.
And still the neighbor- prophesy
He'll die Of Overwork,

THE BOMB At THE DAM.

Seattle papers have published the
particulars of the bomb found at the
Leavenworth dam of the Great North
crn Lumber Co.. against the wishes OF
the company and of the people of the
community, therefore it may not be
out of place for the Echo to touch up
OF it.
The bomb was found some three
weeks ago. 1t was removed by gov
ernment operatives to safe place
The bomb had evidently been placed
10 position at the dam last spring
during the high water. The fuse hal
been lighted and had burned half Of
its length and then went out. When
found local authorities would not
touch it and the government men said
tlat it was too dangerous to examine
it thoroughly 1t was made up par
ly of dynamite and it was the belief
Cf the government that it contained
INT.
1t was also the belief of those who
saw it that if had been exploded it
would have blown out large section
Of the dam and let all the water out
Of the pond, leaving the logs of the
company high and dry, and perhaps
Going considerable damage down the
valley.
1t is hard to believe that anyone
in this community would be respon-
'ible for such an act of lawlessness.
The interests of the Great Northern
Lumber Co. are the interests of all the
people Of this section and anyone re-
sponsible for such an attack is "a
traitor to the interests of the com
munity.

pests. Camp life then looks like a
lark. But get out and try it AN
twenty-four hours makes the double
dyed devotec wish he had "A home to
go to. But it is good for anyone;
health to try it occasionally; for over
and paramount to the JOY of going
into camp, is breaking camp and the
anticipation of getting back home 20
real comfort. Soldiers know all the
joy of camp life, and the one thing
that makes great fighters is the hope
that they may get back to homes and
firesides and real civilized life.
But the experience of our fore
fathers of past ages has not killed
the desire to go camping, and all that
anyone can do is make the best of it
when he is bitten by the camp-out
bug; therefore few pointers may be
serviceable. Go into camp as early
ia the day as possible so that vop
have all day and most of the night n
which to prepare fol good rest. Do
not waste any time in admiring SKY,
mCuntain or stream. Get busy. Pick
the first authorized camp ground You
reach. Pitch you" tent and arrange
for heavy housekeeping. Make up
your hunks, using handpicked fir
boughs for ground covering; get 4.
soft, sponge-like rock for pillow;
keep at a good distance from the wa
Ell. Go without luncheon and eat a
light dinner; retire at 3 am. and arise
at or earlier; eat light breakfast;
clean camp and prepare to enjoy
yourself; luncheon should be light .,
none at all; remove all refuse that
might attract flies; work about camo
all day or go fishing; keep movine.
eat lightly and sleep lightly,
and when you finally return
hcme you will be thinner and healtA-.
iel and sleep sounder than ever sine
Adam was kid.
To get the best results from an out
ing, take nothing with you but the
barest necessities and live off what
you can forage-the fish you can
catch and the herbs and berries you
can find. You will not be over-fel
and if you have tho will power to finl
and catch your own food you will have
plenty of exercise and again develop
ed digestive powers that, if not owe =
taxed, will serve well and with a,e
fol many years. Try it. We haze
not.
And above all, BE CAREFUL
WITH FIRE.

MY DOG.

| take my hat off TO my dog;
He has the edge on me
In everything from running fast
To faith and LOYALTY.
H, doesn't drink Or chew or smoke.
He doesn't care to fight.
The only fault | find with him
Is staying up at night.
He sits beneath the shining moon
And howls for al he's worth:
Sometimes he seems to be in pain,
Sometimes it seems like mirth:
But howl he does, in high-pitchcd
tones
That makes your flesh just creep;
| roll and toss the whole night long,
For he won't let me sleep.
But still. guess ! shouldn't kick,
He must have some emotion:
He's just the same when he gets
licked
Or patted with devotion;
He never bites tho little kids
Who pull his ears and tail,
He merely barks at passing tramps
Who ought to be in Jail.
He never sticks his chest way out,
Because he won a medal
For pulling out drowning child;
My dog is for "soft pedal"
II. everything but nightly songs
In which he throws his might;
My dog and | would be good friends
If he'd only sleep at night.

The results of several years work
on the general problem Of apple pol
lination by Professor O. NJ. Morris.
head of the division Of horticulture Of
the Washington state experiment
station, have just been published in
station bulletin 1862. In his studies.
Professor Morris has shown that
self-sterility is more common among
varieties of apples than is self-fcr-
tility, and that varietal differences in
pollen exert no direct influence on the
size, shape, color, or quality of the
fruit produced.
He has also demonstrated that in
sects are the principal cross -polleni2-
ing agencies in apple orchards and
that the June drop is intimately asSo-
ciated with the failure of the apple to
produce seed. He concludes Tat a
good list of inter-fertile varieties
properly planted will form an or
chard that will fruit with the mini
mum loss by June drop.
The bulletin is available for gcner-
a distribution in Washington and will
b. sent free of charge to any citizen
upon application to the director of the
experiment station at Pullman.

away they go and each may do two
days work before the shades of even
