The Inn was of rather ancient model, yet neat In, Its every detail, and the table was abundantly supplied with the country's luxuries. Herftl concluded to rest for a day and enjoy the novelty of a Sabbath among strungers. Next morning after I had returned from a stroll abou the premises and was seated on the cool porch reading Parker's Commentaries, an Invalid's chair on which reclined an aged and feeble gentUvman was wheeled from an Inner room by the matron of the inn, a rather portly lady with hair streaked with gray, Intelligent, and her every action bespoke refinement, to this cool, shady porch near where I was seated. "Mr. Phillips this Is my father, an (migrant of '40. He has heard of you." "Happy it) meet you, Mr. Phillips." "Happy to meet an lml(ant of 4G." After spending a few minutes In general conversation, the aged pio neer said: "Mr. Phillips, I hear you are a writ er of some note." "A writer of small extent, but noth ing of. note." "I have tried to write a little In my day," the aged man Baid, "but nothing of rl'-flnite shape. I know my day is near Its end, and wishing to preserve something I have said, I was wishing to Bee you, hoping you mlgnt be Induced to take my Hcrlbbllngs of a checkered past and put It Into some thing like Intelligent form, that fu ture generations may understand something of how the early settlera Mved, and more In particular the crudeness of their surroundings." Then speaking to his daughter, the matron of the Inn, "Mary, please bring me that roll of papers, won't you?"

Hut by careful selection I got together a pretty straight history of the events that led to the finding of the compan ion of his life, as follows: In retrospection we oft find relief with some exiatlc Joys. It Is claimed by some that man's youthful days are days of folly. I'm doiibtedly youth Is guilty of many In discretions. Rut a time comes In more mnture years when it Is profit able to review the past, not that we can blot out a plngte mlsib-eil of our lives, but we may sit In Judgment and condemn the wrongs that stand charged against us. The wrongs will stand, but their effects will be soften ed. Our moral force Is brought to bear against them thus closing the door against their acllvltty where It may lie In dormancy perhaps forever. In reviewing the past we often 11 ml the Indlnna grilled their ponies. Iiiiiiih were thrown arm tho stream whirh kept (he flail In the lower nil.

The drainage of the swnles ail il swamps destroyed' much of (he ramas, tho wapata and Hit rouse, the Indian's substitute for bread. These natural supplies being mainly rut off, the poor Indians were. compelled to resort to other moilin of gnlnlng a support. Consequently trib al relations' were mostly broken up, and families locate to themselves, raising their tents nenr the villages and homes of the whlto people whose. servants for a consideration they wer willing to be. The Indliin women unconsciously, perhaps, fell by the wayside, yet could never die. but will live forever; or yet perchance some of these flower seeds were sown In devotions noil Just for the beauty that might arise from them. Such dower, will live forever. And bringing them tip from sweet memory's urn but re lenses their odors anew again to bless the world. Thus retrospection blinds the effects of evil deeds still deeper In the dungeon of oblivion's darkness. While on the other hand. It serves to Increase the soul-light and love of every human being. Nor Is retrospection, as a duty, con fined to this life alone, but we will find It a -duty Involving upon us In life beyond the tomb. We will have to wash away with contrition's tears as much as we can the effects of our (vll deeds.

I took the papers promising the aged veteran to do the very best I could Tor him In the way he suggested with out hope of reward other than the good I could do, and placed them In my valise to be examined closely on my return home. Days and weeks had passed by and Autumn's coof days had come, I took upon myself the task of examining the papers entrusted to my care. There were comments on the grow ing of wheat and on the crosses of stock, some suggestions on fruit grow ing, and on the refining Influence of ornamental gardening, on the drain age of land, and a few precautionary suggestions In regard to preserving Hut in this retrospection of my younger years, It Is not the Intention to try to straighten the crooked pall) I may have trod, but rather to gnther up the beams of light my soul may have shed and focus them for exam ination. The Inate sense of man Is ever the same, and will give Judg ment that Is ever true. Having left my native home east of the Rockies while yet In my teens to cross the great plains to the then wilderness of Oregon, where roods for the convenience of travel were not known, only Indian trails winding tl.elr serpentine course, over hills and valleys and mountain ranges.

"We don't know, Alus Injun, alus dog," These Indians, like the ancient Is raelites, some times made war on neighboring tribes, not. only taking scalps, but also as many captives as they could. These captives were kept as Hlaves, not exjictly hewers of wood and drawers of water. Hut they were required, as far as they were able, to supply their captors dwelling, or hut, with brush-wood for fires, nlso to car ry water for the family's use. Hut the slaves were allowed to live In fam ilies, and to own horses and dogs. Hut always subject to being sold as slaves to other tribes. These Indians lived tin flHh caught In the mountain si reams with nets made sometimes of inner bark of trees, wire grnsses and small twigs, but mostly from roots of the spruce tree, which roota are tough and will vine down almost to a thread. Also on native berries, the cninas, the wapata, the couse and wild game. These Indians lire of a docile na ture, Ignorant In niutiy things, and the superiority of tho whlto race In many things that, pertained to llfo, seemed to awe them In most every In stance In to complete subservuncy to our race. Yet their modes' of living were well suited to their condlton, be ing trained In that direction for thou sands of yearB. Hut a time at length came when the Indian's mode of living must change, while people wero fast settling up the country. Their cattle nnd their plows were fast destroying the val ley and the mountain grasses where work. Thus Indians lived until res ervations were opened by whirh time each one was prepared to care for himself. Many of these Indians adopted English names, yet but a single name. such as Ham, Jim or Jake, and the women single names also as Lizzie, Knte or Mary.
