Yes, air! Boyhood 'a happy days, of
coarse. We kuow about that. We
haven't forgotten tbe joy of Bleeping
iu ma uuuomnea ion in win ei, when
our breath froze to tbe bedding and
we bad to thaw out mitb a bot tint
iron every ruoroiui;.
Morning, ton. We got op Rt 4 a.
o . pitch dark, four bolow zero, and
till going down I We bad to ket op,
buatie out, and fend aud milk the
lowing berd, ourry tbe reur elevation
or ths family mule, tbsw out tbe
pump, chop four oorda of wood, aud
ah ivel away tbe snow, to make room
for tbe aun to riaet
Sometimes we weut to acbool in the
winter not often. Ouly on tbe daya
when it waa too oold and Btormy to
go out of doors. Thou we ant on a
nine oool boaid about UJty feet away
from tbe stove uud gayly blew at oar
tlngera and picked iciclua from our
hair.
1'ben came the meiry tpring time.
Rise at 2:30 a. m. More lowing berd I
The berd lowing owing to the sop
pi' ct fodder Ltiug low.
No memory U niuxo loadud with joy
ifxrma than tbe tpring crop working.
JUan we ever forget the plowing?
lid iv we held the plow when we bad
to n aoh up with a pike poie to get
the handles ; how we drove tbe old
plug team, v-itb tbe lines around our
neok; bow, when tbe clevis broke, the
mares walked away with our frail
bodiea dragging bel.iud by tbe ears?
When darkneta came e stabled the
plugs and went foitu to milk tbe
briudle belter. Tbh heifer kicked us
across the barn floor aud an old cow
obligingly kiuked us back again.
Then, when Ike milking was over,
whiit fuu to tin ii iu uud teaob a fool
calf todriuk! ibis tilting us dry
nurse to a bandy-legged calf was oue
of the most unu ixed joys of nil. We
tied tbe chK short, set the bucket iu
front of him, got astiaddle of bis
nock, s'uck two tlugers in bis mouth,
and with the other hand jammed bis
bead iuto tbe pail. And all tbe time
we were emptyiug out auu.se on calves
in geueral and this lop eared idiot in
particular. This weut on until dad
omie in and with loviug patience
horsewhipped as all about tbe place.
Then, when we had carried in the
wood, brought forty gallons of water
from the spring aud euu-u about night
pounds ot solid food, we went joyfuly
upstairs uud came down again im
mediately to breakfast.
We often dream aud wako to weep
fot tbe days guue ..y when tbe bay
was ripe. We recall tbe old swamp
that alwuys had to bo cut by band.
We recall little stones that we rasped
the edge of our blades in. We recall
the pretty snakes we stepped ou with
our bare feet. We remuuiber it all
with solemn gladness.
Well, welll How it all comes back
to us I Chicago News.
Is Sow a City.
I ast week Stevenson donned the at
tire of an incorporated town. As yet
it is In its infauoy, but ull large cities
were small towns at one time, and all
are compelled to go through the same
ordeal that confronts as. Tbe counoil
met for tbe Hist time last week and
transacted such business as could be
brought before it. There are many
things to be done before we will be in
n oaition to reap tbe real benefit of
incorporating, but when these are uu
onmplisbed everybody will think that
it was tbe wisest move we ever made.
Iu order to accomplish tbe desired
e i1, every person in Stevenson should
on operate with our niiyor and coun
cilmen. It is a foregone conclusion
that they will displea-e some, for we
all do that, but instead of criticisiug,
lend a helping band. Everybody iu
this place should take an aotive part
in tbe welfare of the town. Attend
the council meeting?. We eonsider
laying the foundation of a town is the
most essential p irt. If it is built of
substantial material, it will stand fot
ever. Let everyone in Stevenson put
their shoulder to the wheel and nssitt
in tbe work instead of picking flans
with wbut :h trying to be done. Make
Stevenson cue cf tbe most beautiful
cities on the Columbia river. It is in
our i mver if we will work in unison.
