We are away out west, only a little square state, but a land of milk and honey. We have great natural endowments of forestry and minerals a soil so rich that agriculture, horticulture, nuls and flowers glow with but little trouble, titni or expense. Oregonians have the reputation of being laiy well, if they are, it is the fault of nature. Farmers go to sleep and their dreams are undis turbed with thoughts of drought or cvclone. Our valleys are so fertile that grass is gieen all the vear and the cattie do not have to pay house rent during the winter. The heavy evergreens make a warm and dry shelter at night. Truck gardens furnish supplies all the year and as fast as one crop' is marketed another is planted. F'lnwers bloom through the winter in the yards. Beautiful American Beauties and other choice roses. This is not applicable, however, to .all parts of the state, for we have many ranges of mountains which divide Oregon inlu valleys and uplands, therefore we have a climate for each and all. It one kind is not beneficial, a fifty or hundred miles ride will make an entire change. Our mountains are filled with gold, silver, copper and other precious metals. Our state has only just begun to let the world know of her wealth of minerals. We are interested in the I'an-Anieri- can Exposition. We are coming in full force.

ON ONE of the last dttya of May, 1754. two boys, Charles Flanders and William Wheeler, were scut out from tbe block-house, at Charleatown, N. II., on the Connecticut, to look tor two horses that bad at rayed into the woods. The missing animals were a gray horse and a black mare, respectively. The mare had her young colt with her. They both belonged to William's fa ther, and the settler had promised the boy that If he would find the horses, and bring them safely borne, be would give him the colt for his labor. The lads started oft about six o'clock in the morning, taking- their way down the river. William had his father's gun; but Charley, who was younger, had not been allow ed to take one. (juus mid ammunition were too scarce at the fort to be intrusted to a boy 11 years old. It was really dangerous to go out un armed a great distance from the block-house, for wildcats and wolves were numerous in that region, and oc casionally a bear was aeen. The boys themselves thought little of the peril, but it was not without misgivings that their mothers had seen them depart. Charley was the happy possessor of a jack-knife, and he busied himself In mnklngabownnd arrows as he trudged along. The bow he fashioned from an nsh limb, and the arrows were of oak, headed with sharp tacks that the boy happened to have In his pocket. The bowstring was ot stout twine. When completed, it waa hardly equal to an English long-bow, nor was Charley a Rubin Hood; but it was nevertheless quite a dangerous weapon In his hands. He amused himself shooting at squir rels and birds, and was In high spirits when he hit otie. The only traces) of the animals they were Diluting after that they had yet seen were their tracks, which they ever and anon came across In the "opens," or Imbedded In the banks ot the streams. ' They listened and listened for tbe friendly clinking of the bells, but could not hear them. Yet they felt assured t lint they were on the right course. They had proceeded about three miles when William's quick ear caught the familiar ling-nding of a bell. But it was a great ways off, and seemed to be growing more indistinct, "It's in the next 'open,'" said Wil liam. "That is Sukey's. They con't be far oft". Good luekl Now I'll have my colt and no trouble'." The boys were then In the thick forest. The lust "open" was hnlf a mile behind them; the next might be ns far In front of them. They hast ened forward engerly, following the sound of the bell that came tinkling at intervals through the woods, . They enme to the "open," a square like area of nearly four acres, lying low mid level on the banks of the Connecticut. All at once the bella ceased tinkling. "That Is singular. Perhape they have gone down to the river to drink," remarked William, looking in that di rection. "Oh. no, there's the horses over by that clump of birches!" cried Charley. "Can't you see the old gray's side?" "That's strange, anyhow," declared William. "The Inst time I heard tho bell, I could swear It was on the other side of the 'open.' " The bell commenced tinkling again. It most assuredly was on the opposite side, near the stream. "riukcy and her colt must bo over there," said Charley, "but It's strange, n you sny, that they Khou-ldn't be to gether." "Well, you go that way and I will go this. If we can entch thejii, we can ride home. I do hope the colt ia not lost or hurt." William started In the direction to ward the river, mid of course Charley walki-il olT in a course Just opposite, When the latter was about lialf wuy across the clearing, he turned around to look at Willinm. To hie surprise, his coinpnnbin wns not to be seen. While he was gazing In tnat direc tion, he saw two Indians rise up from behind a clump of alders and look toward the river. At that, in stant William rcapH-nred around n bend of the stream, where he had Ix-cn hidden from the sight of his friend. As soon aa William sow the (lavages, he turned to run. One of the Indians at this fired after the dicing boy and shot him through the wrist. Tin- shot whirled blm violently round. The suvnges then seized him, anil binding him with a deerskin thong, enrried him to their canoe, which wo in the river not for distant. Meanwhile, Charley, seeing the plight of his companion, was moving slowly away from tin! dangerous neighborhood. He hoped the Indians had not wen him. Alone and without any suitable weapon, he knew thnt he could do no'hing toward rescuing poor William. His plan waa to return to the settlement as quick, y ss pos sible, Inform hi father of the circum stance, and have a party sturt at once to the rescue. In order to reach" i"7e at the ahort et notice, he bad made up hi mind to catch the gray horse. He could see the animal still standing half within the grove of poplars, and bad no suspicion that anything waa wrong. Directing his st-pw toward the pop lars, Charley crept up near and near er, looking warily around for fear of Indiana. He walked up to within five feet of the clump of poplars, and was on the point of placing his hand on the gray The Latent Varn.

It is no 'disparagement to Charley to say that when be found himself auddeuly face to face with the red man his mouth opened aa wide aa did bis eyes, that the color tied from bis cheeks, that his heart fluttered like a bird in a cage, and that for a mo ment he could not atir. "Ugh I" grunted the savage, "whHe boy walk the woods with red broth er," meaning be would go with him to Canada. But Charley waa sot quite ready to do that. Stepping back quickly, he fitted one ot his tack-headed arrows to the string of bia bow and dis charged it full at tbe Indian. The warrior sprang aside) but he was not quick enough, tor the shaft bad been well aimed. It passed through bis neck, between the akin and the flesh. Uttering a cry of anger, ha leaped on the boy and caught him by the throat, lie hastily felt for his tom ahawk, and in the heat of bia rage would undoubtedly have ended the poor boy's career then and there; but, missing the handle at the first grasp, he suddenly changed his mind, and, lifting the boy to the back of the gray horse, tied him securely and led tbe animal toward the party that was with the cano. The two boys exchanged a sorrow ful smile aa their eaptora brought them together. William had been placed In the canoe, where there were two hogs, which the savages had plundered from a settlement lower down Uie river. These hoga belonged to a man nnmed Sargent, who lived In Walpole, and he and several ot his neighbors had gone out that very morning In search of the mnrouders They had tracked the thieves to the river, and suspecting they might be Indians, bad embarked in a boat and rowed up stream, hoping to come upon them unaware and recover their stolen property. A little cove shot Into the river at tho point where the two boya rd been captured, and the stream thus mode a bend around this point of land. The Indians, their canoe and their horsra were on one aide of the bem), and the armed white men In their boat were npproachlng the other. Just before they turned tbe bend, one of the white men heard the snort of a horse. Surprised at this. they rested on their oars a moment. and then rowed on more cautiously. .Passing around a low, wooded bank, tbey saw a sight that made them halt again. A canoe with three Indians in it was pushing awny from the shorn - They conk) soe tliat it waa heavily laden, for It sunk deep Into the water. Only one Indinn was psihlllng, and the canoe very slowly advanced Into the middle of the stream. A fourth Indian had Just entered the river with two horses, on the back of one of which wns a white hoy with his arms pinioned behind him In the canoe, by the two dead hogs, was a prostrate figure, which they had no doubt was another cnptlve. Sargent Instantly ordered his party to Are. They did so, and two of the Indians In the canoe fell dead or fatal ly woiiimu-u. The Indinn who was puddling threw ihiwn his paddle, nnd plunged Into the river, A shot wns fired nt lii m. which either killed or disabled hi in, for he sank, and was seen no more. The Indian on horseback did not lift his pin, but very quietly urged his horses across the river. Two of the settlers fired nt him, but the only result was the iwilaahlng of his naked shin by tho disturbed water. "Thoso horses sre stolen, nnd tbe red Imps mustn't get away with them," snwl Sargent; "but don't fire again. We may Injure the boy." Tire settlers bent to their oars, and In n few moments swept up alongside of the struggling horses. Tho savagn did not wait for thrm to einne up. but leaped Into the wntrr. nnd deliberately swam to the nlinn doncd canoe, which was floating ten or a doren rod from the New Hump slilre shir. This be clambered Into, ss ir.ed the paddle, and began to steer It tow-nrd the Vermont shore. After they had seised tbe horses, the white men turned their attention to this hold warrior, who seemed lie t rinlncd to escape with the cnnoe. Two of them, who hail reloaded, shot nt him. but, though both expert marksmen, they failed to harm him The close proximity of their bullets, however, forced him to relinquish the canoe. Holding his rifle above his head, the undaunted savage swam to the Ver mont shorn, and, hunting unharmed, disappeared in the forest. Tho white men now rowed up to the canoe, which was drifting aim lessly round nnd round, "Don't shootl I'm a whit boy!" crieil a voice, aa they approached, It was poor William, who, with his limbs bound with deerskin, was just able to sit up in the canoe "Well, you've aaved the horses any how; but the colt's gone, sure," he exclaimed, ns he glanced around, and saw that the horses were secure. One of Sargent's men Jumped aboard the cnnoe, and paddled It ashore, where William and Charley were both released from their bonds. Then the boys mounted their horses. I Id their rescuers adieu, and return! to the Block house, which they reached Just before sundown.

Much Is said concerning the rights of childhood, and there ta certainly no right to which everv child Is more luiely entitled than that of good, sound health. It should be one of the first considera tions of all parents to secure for their children such conditions as will insure them sound bodies and perfect health, not only because health will bring them the greatest range of comfort, but be cause it is tho means whereby the high est and best possibilities of lilt) are developed and maintained. Pioper clothing of the body is one of the basic factors in the promotion o! health, not alone in adult life, but thro' all the years from childhood up; indeed, at no time is there greater need of care respect ing the clothing than during the period of growth and development. Childhood is the lime to establish the foundation for wholeness in after life, for in matters pertaining lo physical as well as to moral and mental health, the principle holds true that ' the farther back we begin, the mors momentum we gain." Mothers, even some who are them selves careful to dress in accordance with hygienic principles, frequently sacrifice the wolfare of their little ones in their ardor to make Ihem charming and dainty. One of the first requirements of healthful clothing Is that it allow un restrained action of every organ of tbe body. This is absolutely essential to perlect development so long as the body is undergoing the process of growth. Many growing children are permanently Injured by wearing ill-fitting garments of ready-nude, clothing. Such clothing. being cut in large quantities after the same fixed models, and graded accoid- ing to age rather than size, and is suie lo bu a mihllt for the child either longer or shorter than the averags lor his yeats. Again these garments as usually made, measure the same across both back and chest; whereas physiologically made clothing should be fuller over the chest, to allow fur proper expansion of the lungs. Asa result of wearing such wrongly made garments the shoulders are constantly drawn forward, restrict ing the action of the lungs and making correct breathing Impossible. The body of the young child Is easily molded into wrong positions, and unless early remedied a permanent deformity Is the consequence. .Mothers often unwit tingly bring about a similar result by compelling their children to wear partially outgrown clothing, which re stricts the freedom of the muscles or imioses tight bands, tight sleeves, tight waists, upon the tender young bod Constriction of any portion of the body thro' the wearing of clothing which has become tight because of the child's In creased site is quite as harmful as the wearing of tight garments purposely so constructed.

J There is no method of telling by sim ply looking at a Chinaman how far ad vanced he It. In bis knowledge of tbe English language, says the Philadel phia ltccord. An Incident that Illus trates this point happened recently on one of the streets leading to the ex port exposition. A party ot young peo ple were making their way toward the grounds when a Chinaman, dressed in the conventional garbof tbe Flowery kingdom, with hat pulled well down over his ryes, leaned idly against the corner ot a building, pulling away at a cigarette. He looked aa if tbe whole world was a bore to him, and one of the party suggested that an attempt be made to engage him in conversation nnd ascertain thereby Just how much English he really knew. The first advance was made by a young man with a mercurial disposi tion, who always goes at things with a rush. "Slay, John," he yelled, in Imita tion of pidgin English, "do you speakee de Meliean talkee?" and he slapped the Chinaman on the shoulder. The reply dazed all bands. Calmly blowing a cloud of smoke Into the air, the Celes tial turned slowly and aaid, in a pe culiarly aweet voice, in the purest of English: "I beg your pardon, sir, but were you addressing your remarks to me?"
