Washington's Giant Spruce.
N. C. Christensen,of Scattlo,Vash.,
has seen a large spruce tree in Callam
county, which he avers is tho most
enormous one in tho state of Wash
ington. Tho tree is thirty feet in
diameter and it is 100 feet to the first
limb.
The attention of Commissioner
Johnson is to be called to the giant
si'ptico, and lie will bo urged to have
it exhibited at tho Lewis and Clark
i Exposition.
! It Is planned to have a log cut from
: the tree 1000 feet long and placed on
j exhibition at the fair. It will be ut
terly impossible for the railroads to
j handle the log, and it is necessary
'that it be towed via Puget Sound,
1 the Pacific ocean and the Columbia
'and Willamette rivers,
i ' A log was sent to the Chicago Expo
sition in 1893 by the stato of Wash
! ington, but In comparison with this
ono discovered by Mr. Christensou, It
I was a mere pigmy. An old timber
cruiser who ha? tramped Washington
forests for over twenty years, on see
ing the great spruce tree, stated that
I it was the largest in the state and
! that it could be compared favorably
with the sequoia of California.

No Good in the Kicker.
Prom Richmond Mlasourlan,
Kickers always attruot attention
one class of them sells high ou the
market. The highest-priced, four
legged kicker is a hybrid creature,
irritablo and somewhat uustfriptural.
The chrouio kloker Is an amusing
two-legged "animal," not so danger
ous, however. A kicker uover'builds
up. Ho is great on tearing down,
Tho world's happiness has been pro
moted more by compliments than by

feels like kicking, just retire to the
back yard and kick yourself a few
times rather than join the knockers'
chorus.

Why They Win.
The following written by a Jnpauere
o Ulcer and published in "Suoeosa"
gives ono an iiiou of tho reason of tho
supromucy of the followors of iho Mi
kado over those of tho Czur:
"We wore to perform a famous feat
in cruwiiiiK on nil fours for many
meters. Our ambition was not exuet-
ly to attract attention of tho Kussians
and receive their applause from their
miiek-flrers. All eortu of (irearms
seemed to help tho work of their
sourohlightB. We iuado alow pro
gress, always on all foui'tt. Wo reach
ed the second netting of barbed wiro,
and Hits we hacked away without very
much trouble. In front of us was the
final fence. Wo had had a happy run
of luck so far. Wo did uot wish to
spoil it by a touch of carelessness
or too much daring. Cautiously,
therefore, wo' wont on our stomaclie
to mako the distance between the
second and tho llrst bat bed wiro en
tangleinents. All this distance was a
surprise to us; It was eovereu wuu
many things evincive of tho skill and
thoiigh'fiilness of tho Russian engi
neers. It was about 100 motors in
length. The ground was sloping. It
was lllled with pitiaiis ami" mines
innumerable. ' For a second those
mines made us forget the first line of
wire fence toward which wo were
making our way. First of all, wo had
to dispose of tho mines. Wo hnd rea
sou to susp?ot that they were electric
mines, mid, in fact, tho Russian engi
neers, with all their thoughttulnes.s,
did not always tnko tho trboulo to
burv the conductors. Wo discovered
and cut as many iw four conductors.
wnict were jtit aoout tno si.o or my
thumb. They were wrapped in n rub
ber coating, and within the rubber
coating wo found over twenty-four
small wires. X carried no scissor.
about mo. These electric wires wore
n neat surprise to us. Tho seven
usage to which it md been put had
dulled the edge of my ax ahnost an.
blunt as tho edge o niv pal m. li 1
could uot cut tho rubber-wrapped j
wires ou soft earth. Tuno wns press
inn Wo were in dancer of being dis
covered before wo could got at tho
llrst line ot barbeu-wiro tenco, which
was tho last goal of our efforts; more
over, wo were somewhat impatient, j
So all of us fell upon those electric :
wires and with our teeth wo bit them
off. I fear we may have been some
what excited. We did some damage
to our teeth by this work. When n
man tolls you that ho did not Know
when his teeth were being broken,
you would not believe him. That
man might bo telling tho truth, under
some circumstances, however.

Ancestry,
Napoleon never pointed to his ances
try as the source of his unparalleled
ambition and achievements, but said,
"I nm my own ancestry." A patrician
once said to Cicero, "You are n plebe

Uiat of yours ends with you." Better
be tho foundation of a new pyramid
than the apex of an old one. Better

foolishly proud of your fnmlly, with
nothing In you to enable them to re
turn the compliment.
