AMBITIONS OF THREE AGES
Purporting to Be Just What Grand
mother. Mother, and Daughter
Wished In Their Generations.

Grandmother wanted to have the
biggest and whitest washing on the
line before the neighbors had theirs
out; to make the best soap, jellies,
bread and pies; to have the reputa-
ton of keeping the cleanest house
in town; to be well married early in
life; to have a large family of we'll
behaved children, and to have her
friends think recipe must be good
if she used it.
Mother wanted to be cultured and
refined and to do the proper thing
at all times; to be well-married
rather late in life; to have two or
three well-dressed children; to be
able to hire and keep a good maid ;
to be dressed in good taste, and to
have her friends think a word was
spelled or pronounced correctly her
way.
Daughter of today wants to live in
the most exclusive apartment house
in the city; to be able to drive her
own car; to have a chow dog, a Pc
kinese or a Persian cat; to be mar
ried and divorced time or two; to
have her friends think her gown the
latest fashion or she would not be
wearing it; to have girls ask her
what kind of powder and rouge she
uses, and to make men turn around.

t. They left the Cotton

tempt. They left the Cotton
wood house and had got as far as
the springs on the stage road up
the butte when the entire COM
mand were fired upon by the
Indians ambushed in the brush.
Part of the soldiers dismounted,
getting among the rocks, while
others of the company charged,
but these were met by such a
volley that they were compelled
to retreat to the stage road and
join their companions. Foster
was the last, and in endeavoring
to reach the Command his horse
was shot under him, and in at
tempting to run on foot he was
killed in the road, opposite where
his grave now is. The soldiers
were all killed, and were buried
in one grave, and their remains
have since been exhumed and re-
buried with military honors at
old Fort Lapwai. Foster, being II
civilian, was buried and still
sleeps where he fell, by the side
of the stage road on the hill
which overlooks the prairie.
The grave of this brave scout
is in a sadly dilapidated state.
The rails which once enclosed it
have been removed by vandal
hands, the soil has given birth to
rank growth of grass and
briers, and the coyotes have bur-
rowed so that the earth is caving
in, and very soon, unless steps
are taken to re-enclose and pre-
serve this memorable spot, the
tramping stock will soon obliter-
ate the few faint traces that are
left to mark the spot where fell
a brave man who risked his life,
after once escaping from the
very teeth of death, to save a
comrade.

STAG NO MEAN ADVERSARY
Has Been Known to Xiii Horses, and
10 on Record az Putting Bulls
to Flight.

The stag is ferocious fighter and
has attacked and killed horses-and
on occasions put bulls to flight. The
fighting weapon Of the stag is its
antlers. Each year these antlers grow
from the skull at the rate of an
inch a day. During their growth,
they are covered by a feshy layer
of skin, in which the blood circulates
in order to feed the growing bone,
writes E. X. Robinson in Natures
Lessons with animals"
When the antlers are fully grown
the skin dries up and the animal rubs
it of. The stag only uses his ant
lers as q weapon for about three
weeks, and then carries them for
but a few months more.
When two stays are fighting, each
endeavors to get its antlers outside
those of its opponent, in order to
push it aside and thus expose its
flank, at which it makes q darting
blow with the shorter points on the
antlers. The antlers are also
useful when a stag is alarmed
and wants to get away with its
kinds. With its greater strength
and it antlers, it is able to plough
a path for itself and the kinds
through the thickest underground.

That is the question asked by Judge

BOSTON, Aug. 10.-Luck being
blind and for the most part impair
tial, the draw for the semi-final
round Of the Davis Cup matches on
the courts Of the Longwood Cricket
Club today brought together Andre
Colbert, of France, and Gerald l..
Patterson, of Australia, top liners OF
their respective teams, in the first of
two singles matches. The other
bracketed James o. Anderson, Of
Australia, and Henri Cochet, of
France, who Is generally regarded
as the weaker member of his team.
, However, they say there is bad In
the best Of US, and in the worst Of
US, and. that being the case, the
Anderson-Cochet match Is likely to
be just as interesting as It's pfede-
cessor. Cochet Is only twenty years
old, and. from all accounts, has some
thing to learn about the gentle art
OF smashing ball to unguarded aecs
tors or the opposing court. He has
a weak backhand, and altogether
figures to annoy Anderson very lit.

Philadelphia next week.
However, one does not dismiss Co
bert in three words and a period.
He Is the only player on the French
team with real finish to his game
and for some years has been rated
with the best on the continental
courts. Only last week at Seabright I
he carried Dick Williams along to a
count OF II to 10 before losing the
opening set, and altogether gave the
beat one or both the Australians In
singles. That would cloak the action
u bit, as they say In Hollywood.
Patterson's game Is not altogether
foolproof. His backhand is notori.
ously bad, although he is said to
have improved.
However, It is hardly creditable
that Patterson could have won the
allcomers championship at Wimble.
