FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
A Brave Little Bey Who Saved Hit
Brother From a Cougar.
Four children of Mr. Rodenbere,
whose home is at Big Skookum, go
to school at a public school house
• long way off. One Wednesday
during the last of June these chil
dren, being on the road homeward,
were straggling along at some dis
tance from one another, when a
cougar sprang out of an ambush
and seized the little boy who brought
np the rear. This little fellow was
the youngest of the party, being
only six years old, and least likely
to resist the beast, as that watchful
creature seems to hare known when
it saw the school children going by
single file.
The cougar seized the lad by the
head and sat upon him, snarling at
the older boy of the party, an eight-
year-old youngster, who came to
6ave his brother. The brave boy
had in his right hand a milk bottle
of heavy glass. He took hold of
one of the cougar’s ears and with
the bottle began to beat the snarl
ing beast over the head. At the
third or fourth blow the bottle
broke and a hundred fragments of
glass were scattered about. It is
possible that some of the fragments
entered the cougar’s blazing eyes,
for as soon ns the bottle broke he
let go his hold and ran off, plungin;
into the bushes, from which he dii
not again emerge.
Meanwhile the unhurt children
took the wounded boy into a neigh
boring farmhouse. The wounds
were all flesh wounds and when they
had been dressed the little fellow
grew quite animated in his account
of the adventure.—Seattle Post-ln

Sharing the Birthdays.
In Japan they have a very simple
method of dealing with birthday
celebrations, the people waiving all
claim to their individual natal day.
There are two general birthdays,
one for each sex. The male birth
day, which is known as “the cele
bration of the boys,” occurs on the
third day of tho third month and
the “celebration of the girls” on the
fifth day of tho fifth month. These
days aro general holidays for the
young. The birthday of the mika
do, or ten-o, as he is more properly
termed, is also a general holiday
throughout the country, the houses
being decorated with flags and in
numerable colored lanterns.

•‘Now that the Btrawborry sea

authorhtive (igtiros of the ships

necessary to repeat in this cor
respondence that.the shipments
have been heavier this year than
ever before in the history rf tho
indusUy in this section. In a

season has buon tin eminently
saiit factory 0110 to tho grower.
Prices ltavo ruled fairly high
throughout tho soaosn and tho
returns have been gord. Tho to-
tul number of curs shipped out
of this territory during the berry
season approximates2,217against
1,005 Just year. Reduced to
crates the total number this year
is 587,360 agains 500,302 in 1008.
By expross tho total number of

added to the shipments by re
frigerator car, brings the grand
total to 008,800 against 575,000
during the breaking your of 19u8.
At a net average of $2 per crate
to the grower, it will bo seen
that more than a million and a

to this territory from berries
