3bhH ringemar, d former scout o'rf tiVe

boy an'd rose to bo' a com par. ion of Buf
falo l?ill anj 6wef of fast crot tors, fi
nally dying of right's disease ah'c! hav
ing his death telegraphed by the Associ
ated Press. Engeiuar's cireer is an ex
ample which should act as an eneourasra
merit to every boy who is struggling a
gainst ad veraity. It shows a buy what
perseverance and energy can accoafplish
when his efforts' are propefly directed.
It pfe'ves that ai;y boy may rise from
the lowliest of occupations until he occu
pies the most coveted positions in the
United States. This example of J&hii
Eng&inar will do more toward instilling
noble am'bititm into the mind of Young
America than would the stories t Gar
field and Lincoln themselves who, after
all, only rose to the Presidency. The
writers of loys' books Hiako a serious
mistake in that they don't sufficiently
stCdy their readers. Boys don't want
their heroes to become Prtsidt'nts and
Senators ; thev want them to become'
brake-men on traiiYs ilnd stage-drivers,
or, if in a commercial line, would like to
have them become sole proprietor of a
candy or cake store. Such are the am
bitions of the boys themselves", and such
are the ambitions that should actuate
their heroes. A well-written story of
John Engemar's life, with a proper spice
of aristocratic ferial e beauty in it, woiild
be widely read and do much to neutral
ize the baieful influence of such institu
tions as the Boys' and GirU' Aid Society,
the Public Schools and the Domestic

He had been to the doctor, and had a
tooth pulled that had roots. It was the
great eve fft of his life. It aroused a" 1
the sympathies of his gushing nature.
He met a Reporter. The Reporter
asked his name, occupation ic. This
was something the style of conversation.
Reporter. 41 Did you lately come
from the States V
" Yes sir, I just had a tooth pulled,
and it made me jump. It had roots."
Reporter. "What part of the State?
did vou come from V
' Illinois, perhaps you would like to
see the tooth. I have it in my vest
pocket I shall always keep it. It was
awful." . .
Reporter. ''What is your occupation?"

mouth, and see what a hole it made.
The doctor polled nic awfully. It aches
now.
Reporter.
'llcw do you like the
country ?"
"Well, didn't it have prongs ? It r-as
set in solid. Would you like to exam
ine the tooth again ?"
Reporter. "Goodbye."
"Good day, it was rough, 1 was pulled
all out of shape."
The young man with a look of injured
innocence, then departed. He met a
strange lady on horseback. He intro
duced himself, showed her his tooth, and
related in full his aches, which so a
roused her sympathies she shed a reti

otfrigmen, Ewell, William and
Paul Bonser lately made a trip to Moun't
Hood.' They had a severe time of it,
Mid are now paying the penalty of their
temerity in the shape of frozen feet:
Two of the young men hvc claims on
the Spilei Prairie, and we'njt out to visit
them. They went up Lewis River as
far as they could in a loat, and securely
fastened their craft to the shore. At
Spilei the notion took them to-visit
Mt Hood, soon they went to a l.xke be
yond. They found it a perilous adven
ture. . One plac'e they climbed up, they
were forced to make d path with the
muzzles of their guns. The last day of
their return, they only had some coffee
to soothe their ravenous appetites. It
seems J miracle ttial they escaped with
their lives. We shudder-to think what
might have len the restflt had they met
with any "accident. Their adventures if
written out by the hand of a master
probably, would b thrilling and roman
tic in the extreme, more interesting to
read than en. lure.
Sunday we went out to hunt our
horses, we went to Milton, then o:i to

Kellogg were there. Iiellogg was
down to attend on her sick sister Dora.
Our horses c found in Mr. Copelsmd's

Mr. Copeland has some fine en'arged
photographs of himself and wife. Mrs.
Copeland's is one of the most life-like
