A HERO OF THE BUSH
The Daring and Devotion of a Brave
Maori Youth
Courage is not an attribute peculiar
to the white man nor Is self sacrifice
i the prerogative ol civilisation la Mr
J C Firths Nation Making is told
a story as touching in its brave devo
tion as any tale of the Victoria cross
The incident occurred at Orakan
where the English soldiers had just
defeated the Maoris A little party of
colonial troops pursuing fugitives
came upon three natives two old men
and one young fellow
The youth seeing the soldiers drop
ped on one knee and aimed with his
gun at the advancing party which
halted a moment while the old men
ran toward the forest The old men
had thrown away their firearms In
order to make escape easier
The soldiers lired at the youth but
missed Without discharging his gun
he sprang to his feet and ran on in
advance until he caught up with the
old men once more Then facing
about he presented his gun as before
but reserved his fire
The weary old men gradually drew
near cover Once more the soldiers
fired and missed once more the gal
lant fellow turned and bounded on
The old men were close to the forest
when the youth nearly fainting again
knelt and took aim but still did not
fire
The soldiers shot him as he knelt
and rushed to the forest but failed to
capture the two fugitives who safe
in the dense underbrush made their
escape
On their return the soldiers found
the brave young fellow lying dead
His gun was empty It had not been
loaded at all With It he had covered
the retreat of the old men and secured
their freedom by the loss of his own
life No more gallant deed of heroic
devotion was ever accomplished In
any land
Dreams of the Healthy
There has been much discussion as to
whether one dreams only on falling to
sleep and during the act of waking up
or whether dreams take place at any
time during sleep While not definitely
determined as yet the evidence seems
to be rather in favor of the view that
one may dream at any time during
the night or the whole night through
Dreaming is common to perfectly
healthy persons and in itself is no
evidence of disorder Harpers Maga

Mount McKinley
In mountain climbing the world over
the climber usually arrives fresh and
unfatigued at the base of the peak he
wishes to storm and as a rule begins
his ascent at a high altitude On Mount
McKinley as described by a writer in
Outing it is the opposite There are
twenty five miles of rugged foothills
and glaciers to be crossed with heavy
packs before the base of the mountain
is reached and then the climber is con
fronted by 1S000 feet of rock and ice

In Will county 111 he entered the em

President Lincoln commissioned him
captain and assistant quartermaster
of the United States army and as
signed him to duty in charge of the
United States telegraphic system in
tho southwest with headquarters at
Little Rock Ark Afterward he
served at St Louis
At one time he found himself in
command of the lines at a certain
point in Missouri but unable to com
municate with the Union forces across
the Mississippi owing to tho fact that
the enemy had cut the whros Th
message ho desired to transmit was of
the utmost importance says tho Sat
urday Evening Post in relating tho
Story and could on no acount suffer
delay It was pitchy dark and the
rain was descending In torrents the
wind was high and Colonel dowry
could conjure no way out of his diffi
culty Suddenly he heard the toot of
a locomotive on the other side of the
river An Idea came to him Only a
short distance from hhn stood a loco
motive and climbing into tho cab he
seized the whistle cord and began to
jerk It In a manner that made the en
gineer and fireman think he had gone
crazy There was a series of wild
toots such as nobody had ever heard
before in the history of railroading
but pretty soon they brought from the
other side of the river answering
whistles The operator at headquar
ters had heard his call and realized
that locomotive whistles instead of
telegraph keys must he used in the
transmission of an important message
At the close of the war Colonel dow
ry entered the service of the Western
Union and rose to become Its head

Charles Weintz constable living in

says When I began tho uso of Doans
Kidney Pills I was suffering a severe
attack of kidney trouble My back was
very weak and I experienced the most
terrible pains if I brought the slightest
strain upon tho muscles of the back
I was often so weak that I was unable
to walk up town and it was all that I
could do to get around When I felt an
attack coming upon me I would have
to lie down at once and it would be
many hours before I would be able to
straighten again At times the secretions
from my kidneys were copious while at
others scanty dark in color and contain
ed a heavy sediment I saw Doans
Kidney pills advertised and procured a

to my relief at once I continued taking
them and was soon restored to perfect
health
