JENNIE'S DOOR.
fy pathway through th meadow ran.
Where direr tone eweet chorua made;
The nieadowlark hia plaint re-told.
The bumblebee hia trombone played,
But not on bird or bee my thought.
My heart with joy wu ruuulug o'er,
For well I knew that well-worn path
Would bring me aoon to Jennie' door.
I hastened down the woodland path,
Unheeding erery deviou turn.
Beneath the mighty maple tree.
Among the nodding, feathery fern.
Unseeing, I the way pursued.
Nor pawned its beauties to explore,
For well I knew this winding course
Would bring m toon to Jennie'a door.
Long years hare come and gone since
then,
And time my feet hath widely led
Through many strange and wind way
Where weed and thorn were thickly
spread. .
Jet, now, when lower dips ths sun,
I hasten as I did of yore
To tread with lightened steps the path
That leads to mine and Jennie's doort

Hi
T doe seem like some folks baa
everything In this world and
'other folks has nothln'." Mrs.
Tom Polk shaded her eyes with her
hand as she watched a carriage and
pair of horses climb the hill on which
her home stood. The sole occupant of
the vehicle gave ber a pleasant bow in
passing.
"See them plumes on her hat?
They're real ostridge, I know, an hers
I've got to wear that oP sailor erery
time I set foot off the place."
"She looks so sad." spoke up Mrs.
Tolk's mother from the doorway. "She
must 'a been through a heap of trou-
Dle."
"I'd like to know what can she's got
to took sad," tartly rejoined Mrs. Polk,
till gazing after the carriage as It
rolled on down the road, "livin' In that
great house, 'n not a chick nor child to
bother her. If she waa like as, strug
glln' along to keep our heads above
water, an' more mouths to fill than
vittles to put In 'em, she might have
reason for look In' sad."
"Marthy Polk! What has come acrosa
you? I do b'lleve it's because Ann
Bnos had on a new bunnet In meetln'
Sunday that you've been so snappish
all the week."
"Well, 't does go agin me," reluctant
ly confessed her daughter. "If I hadn't
wore my oP hat three years already, I
wouldn't say a word. Ann Is sech a
baud to brag an' put on airs anyhow.
an' when she toP me Sunday, after
preacbln', that abe knowed me a mile
off by my hat. It was the straw too
much fer me."
At that moment the youngest Polk
bumped Its head against the table leg.
Oiling the air with a succession of
khrieks which the grandmother tried
to hush on her capacious bosom, while
Mrs. Polk picked up her neglected iron
and went to the stove for a hot one.
"I a'pose 'taint no uae frettln'," she
said, "but there's Sam needs a coat, an'
Sarah Jane's got no shoes, an' the
twina is nigh naked, an' Oh! Lord, but
the por have troubles enuff," and Mrs.
Polk groaned and banged the Iron
down on the coarse shirt she was Iron
lng.
' Outside, the twins made mud pies.
blissfully unconscious of their parent's
woes, and Bobby lay fiat on bla back In
the doorway, blinking up at the aky.
but watchful lest bis mother step over
him and thereby check his growth. It
was Bobby's ambition to be tall, like
Lemuel FJck, who ran the scow up at
the Ferry, and every week be meas
ured himself against the end of the
house, where a number of lines
scratched with a mussel shell showed
bow much he gained.
"She mlght've let Tom built that
new-fangled ben house fer her, 'stead
o havln' carpenters out from town,'
Mrs. Polk went on, in an Injured tone.
"Sakes alive! Mia' Thornton ain't
been moved out here two months yet.
what d she know about Tom?"
"She knew enuff," snapped Mrs.
Polk. "Tom heard she was goln' to
build It, an' be went to see her, an' she
told him she'd partly engaged a fellow
from town. He bad done promised me
the money to buy the children some
things an' me a new bunnet, but that'a
the way It always Is."
i Bobby rolled over on bis stomach and
eyed his mother Inquiringly. She waa
crying, and he didn't remember ever
seeing her cry but once before In bis
life that was when the twins caught
Are at butchering time, she cried that
day when all was over and she found
they weren't much hurt.
"I Jcs' had my heart set on that bun
net; I had planned It all out, red roses
an ribbon streamers an'' all, then Tom
didn't get the Job." She wiped her eye
on her apron, and Bobby swung him
self out the door and went around to
the wood-pile, where be sat down. He
poked his bare toes In the loose chip
dirt and grew thoughtful.
lie was very fond of his mother; In
deed, people sometimes taied ber with
showing partiality to Bobby. He was a
round-faced little chap, with rosy
cheeks and eyes blue as the skies, and
a mop of curly brown hair that was the
bane of his own life and bis mother's
pride. A tuft of It protruded now
through the torn crown of bis hat.
Perhaps If he went up to the big
bouse Mrs. Thornton would give bla
mother a bonnet; she seemed such a
kind lady. He bad seen ber one day at
the Ferry, and she smiled and patted
his bead as she asked: "Whose little
man are you?"
Ills twinkling eyes fastened on a
white Bantam hen scratching away In
the dirt not far from him. A bright
Idea dawned on him; he would take
Mrs. Thornton his bantams, then the
bonnet would be a certainty. All the
afternoon he hugged the ' delightful
thought to bis bosom; at night be cap
tured bis chickens and stowed tbem
under a coop out of sight, and the first
thing In the morning be was up and
away over the fields by the short cut,
bis pets under his arm.
"There's the raggedest little boy here
to see you, ma'am," said the maid,
when Mrs. Thornton came Into the
breakfast room. "He's got two chick
ens." "Let him come In here," Mrs. Thorn
ton said. Her heart was tender toward
11 children.
A sudden terror seised Bobby when
he was ushered Into the beautiful room
The lovely lady held out her baud
him and he moved cautiously over the
floor, his bare feet sluking into the ca
pet at every step. It seemed dreadful
to him to walk on such pretty flowers.
"Do you want to sell your chickens,
or did you Just bring them to show
me?" Mrs. Thorntou asked.
"Yessuin," answered Bobby. "For
bunnet"
Mrs. Thornton looked puuled.
don't believe I know what you mean,
"With red roues on It," she said,
Bobby waxed bolder at her pleasant
smile. "It's fer mother, so's she kin go
to meetln'."
A lhzht dawned on his hearer. "You
want to sell me your chickens to buy
your mother a bonnet, is that It?
Bobby nodded. "An' she wants Ted
roses on it"
"Doea your mother know about HY'
"No'tn. It's to s'prise her."
Bobby had a surprise himself, then,
The lovely lady caught him In her
arms, rags, chickens and nil, and kissed
hia rosy cheeks. "You blessed chl.d,
she cried. "Sit down and tell me all
about It" So Bobby, nothing loth, went
over, as well as he could, the talk of
the day before. Mrs. Thornton smiled
and sighed, and then kissed him again.
Now," she said, when the story was
ended, "you must eat breakfast with
me."
When the meal was over she ordered
the carriage, and she and Bobby drove
to the little red house on the hilt.
where consternation reigned because
no one knew what had become of him
Mrs. Thornton went Into the kitchen
and up to Mrs. Polk, holding tight to
Bobby.
"I've brought your boy back to you,'
ahe said. "Were you frightened? Did
you think he was lost?" and then she
stretched out her bauds. "How I do
envy you." The piteous look that came
Into ber face went straight to Marthy
Polk's heart
They cried for a few minutes In each
other's arms, while the seven Polk chil
dren looked on In amazement The
baby, not being accustomed to such
procedings, began to whimper, and as
the mother picked It up she drove the
rest of them out the door and closed It
on them.
Land above knows what I'm crying
fer," abe said, dusting a chair for her
visitor, "when I'm that thankful no
harm had come to the child, but chll
dren have strayed off In the swamps
before now, an' I a'pose I was wrought
up some on that account."
He's a boy to be proud of, said
Mrs. Thornton, when she had related
the history of Bobby's visit to ber, al
though some of his revelations she
wisely kept to herself. "I wish you
could have seen him standing there
with his chickens in his arms, so anx
lous to part with them to buy his moth
er a bonnet."
"He's got the tenderest heart, Bobby
has," said Bobby's mother, "an'
guess he's heard me complalnln' about
the hard times we have to get along,
Pears like a body oughtn't to worry
over- not gettln any new clo'es when
they're blessed with the good children
we are; every one says they are the
best set along the river road. But I
used to be powerful dressy before I
was married; since then the young 'una
have taken the money so " apologeti
cally. I don't believe you know how great
ly you are blessed." Mrs. Thornton's
face wore that piteous expression
again. "I would change places with
you this minute, If I could. Ob! Mrs.
Polk we had but the one and be was
taken then my husband and now I
am all alone." She closed her eyes and
drew a sobbing breath, while Marthy
Polk clasped ber babe to her breast
and suddenly felt how rich she was,
compared to this other woman.
1 was never so beat out In my life,"
she declared to ber mother as they
turned away from the gate, where the
entire Polk family had escorted the
visitor. "She give that boy a five-dollar
gold piece for them bantams; an' she
says she's likely to need Tom off an' on
all summer at carpenterin' Jobs."
"Ain't she a nice lady?" chimed In
Bobby, as be balanced himself on the
topmost fence-rail.
She Is so, answered his mother.
surveying him fondly. "What a boy!"
she whispered to the old lady. "Who'd
a thought o' him do In' sech a thing?
Mis' Thornton said if I'd no objection
she was goln' to send him a settin' of
some choice eggs she's got but she
vows all ber fine poultry ain't so pre
cious to her as them bits o' things Bob
by sold her."
And Mrs. Polk wore her new bonnet
with more pride than she ever had
done any head adornment In ber life.

Contention of Waafclntton Bonndar
Canaulifilnniri-Old Ship Chan
ael la th Liu.
F. L. Rio, ol South Bend, and J. B,
Nice, of Cathlamet, who compose tba
Washington state boundary commission
appointed by Governor Rogers to fnves
tiiiitts the disputed boundary tins be
tween Oregon and Washington, have
completed llieir vroik from the mouth
of the Uotmubia river to Tongue Point,
They find that vast and valuable tracts
of tide lands besides valuable fishing
and seining grounds, which ars uow
claimed and taxed by Otegon, ars in
Washington according to the law eetsb-
lialiing the territory of Washington and
defining the boundary line between it
ami Oregon to be the center ol the
main ship channel of the Columbia
liver. The initial point at the mouth
of the Columbia is two miles from Foi
Stevens and four miles from Fort Can
by on a I in across the river conneoting
these two points- Tliencs the line (ol
lows the center of the main ship char
nel, which has remained practically
the same sines ths boundary was de
lined first, until the confine of Walt
kiakuin county are readied, where the
commission lays claim to considerable
territory now held by Oregon.
Off Wahkiaaum county ths main
channel waa (ormerly np W noddy's
channel thiongh the Cordell channel
and thence into Wooddy's channel
This was buoyed by the government as
early as 1853 and ran close to the Oie
gon shore. These channels ars not
now in use, as ths construction of ths
jetty, which was expected, according
to ths United States engineer's repot t
to scour them out, in reality filled
them np and throw ths main channel
over on the Washington shore. This
shifting of the channel has formed val
uable tide lands, including ths well
known Miller and Oliver sands, which
the commission claims for Washington
on the ground that the old channel and
not the new one should be taken as the
dividing line. This construction aUo
throws into Washington te'litory the
Desderaona and Middle sands which
have never before been claimed by this
state.
The commission lias made a prelim
nary inspection of the boundary line
np the river to a point above me
Dalles and from all their information
it would appeal that Oregon claims
and taxes everything in sight, includ
ing soma lands which have as high as
100 families living on tbem.
If the contention of tbs commission
proves to be correct, over 90 per cent
of gillnetting ground and nearly all ol
the seining grounds on ths Columbia
belong to Washington, and Oregon lias
no foundation to its claim of jurisdio-
ion over Sand island, which has bean
the cause even of bloodshed in yean
past
Mr. Nice, the member of the com
mission from (Jatlilamet, has lived on
the river for over 80 years and his per
sonal knowledge of the location of the
old channels and bis wide acquaintance
itli the old-timers on the rivsr are
proving of great value.
