BOY'S HORRIBLE TRIAL.
Fell Into a Burning Haystack and
Burned Almost to Death.
The 9-year-old son of Mr. Sliger, a
farmer, was nearly burned to death
Tuesday, near Albion, in Spokane
county. A strawstack had been Bet
on Are and burned at the bottom of
one side, leaving the top whole. 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. He wandered away from the
stack by himself and was trying to
get to the house, some distance from
the place of the accident, when found.
He was nearly strangled with smoke
and ashes and the blisters on his feet
and limbs were broken, and his suf
fering was terrible. Ho is in a seri
ous condition.

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.

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

Good Road and Free Delivery.
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.)
