The lad climbed to the top of the stack and fell down into the supposed ashes, but what was really living fire. His body to the waist Is burned nearly to the bone, several toes of both feet being burned off. But for his woolen shirt he would have been burned to death before his sad plight was dis covered.

To plaster gables with cement use a good quality of slow setting Portland cement with about equal proportions of clean, sharp sand and apply as ordi nary plaster. If It is desired to orna ment it In any way, such as inserting bits of glass, stone or gravel, these should be put In place while the ce ment Is fresh. When the cement is in place, it should be kept moist by fre quent wetting until the work is en tirely finished. Fine Supply of Water In the Dry Sands. A curious natural phenomenon ex ists in section 11, township 14, range 29, of Franklin county, Washington, near Pasco, in the sheep country. Here, after traveling miles and miles of sand and sagebrush, apparently not within a day's distance of water, the traveler suddenly comes on a living spring, where a stream of fresh water as big as a man's arm above the el bow, gushes forth the year around. This the Indians in former days term ed "Skookum" spring. "Skookum" means good. Set down in a 'pot hole," with cliffs rising perpendicularly hundreds of feet high on nearly every side, the natural wonder is how there comes to be Buch a magnificent oasis in such a sandy desert as western Franklin. There is a feature still more remark able. Year after year the water gushes out and runs in little streams among the stones into a large pool three acres in extent. The pool is only a few yards away, and hedged in on every side save one, has no ap parent outlet. No water ever escapes over the surface of the ground from it, yet it never gets any bigger or any smaller, though the source of supply is undiminished. Few people have seen Skookum spring. Those who have offer the explanation of subter ranean outlet. For yearc the pool from Skookum spring has been the watering place for thousands of sheep, for wild horses, coyotes and all of the denizens of that country, in a district where the sand is so deep that agriculture would be impossible without irriga' tion. It is 18 miles from the white bluffs of the Columbia. what is said about me is wrong." 'And no one," says the American in telling the story nowadays, "need say anything about the kaiser to me. I know. a man when I see one." fit has taken the world many years to find out how wrong was Jts esti mate of the ruler of tho German na tion, but it has found it out now, or, at any rate, those whose opinion is worth anything have done so. Twelve years ago people talked of "the mad emperor." Nowadays he is referred to as "the cleverest man in Europe." The latter view, according to those who know him best, is far from being exaggeration. New York Times. WHITMAN GLEE CLUB.

His Talk in 1890 With a Young Ger man Whom He Did Not Know. One summer day in 1890 a Now Yorker visiting Berlin, Btrolled to the Lustgarten, and, sitting on one of the benches, contemplated the various fine buildings around him. He did not know his bearings very well, and, in halting German, asked some questions of a young man who had sat down be side him. This young man was unmistakably a German, but he replied in perfect English, remarking that ho presumed his interlocutor was either an Eng lishman or an American. The couple chatted for half an hour and the American became more and more as tonlshed at the minuteness of the other's knowledge of the archaeology of Berlin. He knew the history of every building in sight, told the American just these things that the guidebooks do not toll, and, withal, was so courteous and unaffectedly cordial that the heart of the tourist warmed to his unknown guide. At length tho conversation drifted from tho past to the present, and the Now Yorker made a remark about the opinion held in America of the kaiser. In those days the young "war lord" was regarded as a dangerous fire brand as an irresponsible monarch who might any day plunge Europe into conflict. It was ovon said that he had shown evldonco of insanity. Wihon this subject arose tho young Gorman suddenly changed from a giver of Information to a seeker of it, asking eagerly for details of the re ports about tho kaiser current in America. These the Now Yorker fur nished to the best of his ability, and ended by asking: "What do you personally think of him?" "I am afraid," roplled the young man, "that my opinion on the subject is not of much value. I am the kaiser myself." The American sprang to hlB feet with amazement. The emperor cut his apologies short. "My friend," he said, "you have done me a service. It Is hard for mo to learn the truth about what 1b said of me Just as hard as it 1b for people iar away to learn the truth about me. But, with GW' aolp, I will show that Freight Traffic Tied Up.

According to a western paper, land in its section, along one of tho newly established rural free postal delivery routes, has increased from $2 to $5 per acre. This is another argument in fovor of extending rural free delivery, and it 1b Indirectly an argument in favor of good roads. Saratoga (N. Y.) Saratogian. CHILDREN'S . SHOES .
