It depends upon which end of the telescope is placed next to the eye whether the ole jeet scanned is revealed in ita t rue proportions or belittled to almost nothingness. Certain contemporary person ages, like certain events, are looked at as with a telescope reversed Aft era time, a long, long time usually, the instrument happens to come tip end for end, and that which l>efore appeared to be a dwarf takes on the true stature of a gi ant. The greatness of the west makes itself felt as generations roll on. and the pioneers who redeemed it ftom savages, who fought the first rude, bloody, derisive battles for the survival of society in the wil derness, slowly come into the honor they deserve. Every time the improved lens is brought to bear upon the Houstons, the Crocketts and the Boones new virtues are disclosed which provoke wonder at the blindness of the past. Then, as it w ere. Count less cities claim old heroes, dead. Through which the living heroes begged for

bread.

Boone's own generation and theoue succeeding either lavishly idolized or heartily despised him as a backwoods rover, a pattern I.eatherstocking for Cooper's pen. Log cabin story tellers were his portrait painters. The straight laced gentry who fashioned manners and thought after tlie Revolution could find neither the grace of Washington nor the line sentences of Jefferson nor the “spell binding” eloquence of Patrick Henry in the rude Kentucky borderer, and so, between his witless though well meaning panegyrists and the cold and partial critics who wrote history, Boone fared ill. The episode commemorated in sculpture at the national capi tol rests upon doubtful tradition and at lies! pictures him as an Indian slayer. In truth, the great Kentuckian was a pathfinder, a developer, a statemaker, and a military and civil leader of men. It was Boone w ho broke through the mountain barriers Iw-tweeu Virginia and Kentucky and witli all his companions killed hut one built a cabin hundreds of miles beyond civilization. That companion, his brother, he dispatched home for supplies and recruits, remaining behind alone “without bread or salt—without the company of fellow creatures or even of a horse or dog.” He felt that he was “an instrument ordained to settle the wilderness” and accepted the com mission as from on high, with all the fervor of a Constantine, a Columbus or a Luther. He was then 36 years old, neither a boyish dreamer nor a hermit recluse, but a lusty, vigorous,sound hearted man. It was then 1770. For three months Daniel lived alone, playing hide and seek with the Indians, and the next year took out his family. After passing the Cumberland the Indians massacred six young men of the party, one of them Hoone's oldest son. Unmanned by the tears of the women, the others turned bark in spite of Boone's protest. He followed, but in 1774 his reports of what lay beyond the mountains stirred up Lord Dunmore, a military grantee, to organize an expedition to survey anil settle central Kentucky, and Boone was engaged to lead it. Over the old trail for 800 miles the party marched, past the graves of the six martyrs of 1771, into the heart of the wilderness. Old trap Iters and tenderfoot settlers hailed Boone as the patriarch of the wild dominion. The ludinigi recognized him. too, and saw the hand of fate working through this modest, gentle man who braved—not despised, but braved every iiardsiiip and dnngerto ful-

fill his mission and settle the wilderness. They took to the warpath ami were soundly thrashed by a little army of Virginians at Point Pleasant, and the Boone colony, nursed by Virginia blood and brawn, was

destined to stay.

Boone, the settler and explorer, next he came a commander. Lord Dunmore made him the military chief of three frontier (Mists. A man of common mold would have been dazzled with dreams of the glory to be won by the swortl and probably have ended his career as a frontier colonel in battle with the Indians. But Boone kept in view his mission to settle the wilderness. ami fighting was only a means to that end. About that time he visited his Virginia home anil entered heartily into a project to colonizx) central Kentucky. A tract of land 1011 miles square in the val leys of the Cumberland and Kentucky rivera was purchased of the Cherokees. Boone was chosen as leader to survey the tract and locate the emigrants on the vast domain. and lie once more entered Kentucky to take up the role of an organizer. His zeal for |>enpling the land did not consume his native shrewdness, anti Hie first work was to prepare fur defense. A company of fighting backwoodsmen, armed to the teeth, followed hint across the mountains to the valley of the Kentucky. The Indians having actual possession of the region had not assented to the bargain of sale and disputed the white man’s encroachment upon their hunting grounds. Boone fought bis nay to the hanks of the river, losing four men in the struggle, ami theie stood at bay. A fortress of logs was hastily thrown up, the cornerstone, as it were of a new commonwealth. That fort

And in spite of his predilections fot (M-ace and civil enterprises and triumphs Boone was compelled to turn warrior But to him war was not a means of excitement nor of ruthless extermination. He was happy when let alone. He fought to keep the (>eace. The Revolutionary war made had blood worse between the Indians and renegades and the honest settlers of Virignia faith. Skirmishes wereof almost daily occurrence on the Kentucky, and at the opening of spring, 1777, Bonne's fort was cut off from outside help and surrounded by hostiles. On the 15th of April the Indians invested the fort at close quarters. It contained only 23 armed men liesides Boone’s settlers. Boone made a vigorous defense and so discouraged the Indians that they drew off for re-enforcements. On July 4 they returned with white allies and to the number of 200 surrounded the blockhouse. For 48 hours the battle went on, and the assailants once more withdrew. A re-enforce-ment of 100 Virginians and 45 Carolinians reached Boone aliout thattiuie. and heaallied out from day to day, attacking and heating the savages and renegades wher ever found. Another « vil threatened the colony after the Indians were overpowered. Their supply of salt gave out. The nearest springs were 50 miles north of the fort in the midst of a tribe of savages. Boone's courage ami readiness again came to the relief of the settlement. With 80 men, armed with muskets and kettles, he set out for the Blue Licks to boil salt and to fight for the privilege. The Indians permitted them to begin iqierations, but lay in waiting and one day cut off Boone while be was out hunting alone. The shrewd pioneer saw In the Indian ramp evidences of prepara-

In summer one is puzzled to know how to adorn them in some way that shall be novel as well as pretty, and in winter one thinks of hangings that will take off the chilly effect of the grayish white marble to which we seem doomed in our drawing rooms. For those who have plenty of money the adornment of the fireplace is very simple, for they have only to get a casing of carved wood, which solves the whole problem. But there are many, on the other hand, who have to study economy in ornamenting their homes. For this class The Housewife describes and illustrates a method of decorating the fireplace and contriving an overmantel all in one. The ex-

Boone's warfare would have ended and his colony enjoyed peace after that bloody j repulse at Boonesboro but for the plot-| tings of the British and Tories on the Can ! ada border. In August, 1782, a large body j of Indians, led by a keen white savage. I marched into the colony and besieged Bryant's, near Ix'xington. Help was summon i d, and Colonel Boone responded with his Boonesboro detachment. The Indians rais til the siege and ostensibly abandoned the 1 warpath to go on a hunt. They were trail j ed to the Blue Licks, and Boone counseled waiting for rv enforcements known to bo on the march liefore hazarding iMittlc. Other loaders were for immediate attack, and the little army of between 200 and 800 men rushed across Licking river to a ridge of rocks inclosed by a horseshoe bend. The Indians were posted in two columns at el then end of the ridge, and the Kentuckians found themselves ensnared by their own hocdlessness. Moono had realized theblun der throughout, and when the others saw it he took the lead in a charge cn masse upon the Indians at the land end of the promontory. The Indians outnumliemi the Kentuckians, ami the latti r turned in (Minic and dismay to recross the river. Boone stood fast. His son was kilhsl by his side, but without losing heart or cool ness lie rallied a handful of bis own follow ers, cut his way through the line of sav ages to the shelter of a strip of timber and by a fearful hand to hand battle kept the enemy at bay. While the savages were sating their cruel passions In plunder and slaughter on the river bank Boone and his companions charged across the river above them and made their way I ini'k to Bryant’s. Boone's warnings and counsels had been despised by the impetuous souls who thirsted for Indian blood. Boone craved a grand and sweeping victory to end in permanent

peace.

The Blue Licks massacre, however, fired the Kentucky heart. The settlers arose, Boone, astwln leader with General George Rogers Clarke, at their head, and the In dian ()est was staniiMil out with the fearful vengeance of fire and sword. Kmigrants in thousands swarmed into redeemed Kentucky,anti in the midst of them Boone passed his hale middle age a (x-aceful farmer and a rural sage. Trouble liecloudod his declining years and he died in exile, neglected and almost dishonored by the state which he, more than any other man, had fashioned out of a remote forbidding wilderness. Twenty five years later, however, Kentucky sued for the remains of the exile and consecrated her soil by mingling with U the ashes of a true hero. George 1,. Kilmer. Too Careful.

But in many rooms a plain slip to go upon the shelf, with a fall in front of 12 inches, is all that is wanted, and here any design might be worked that one’s fancy dictated. For a gentleman's room a group of black imps might chase eacli other over a piece of dull red linen.

A Drop or Two of Oil. Many huuKekeejiers know how hard door latches often work and sometimes even “with impetuous recoil and jarring sound." A drop or two of sweet oil on the tip of the forefinger touched to the face of the latch will immediately and effectually cure it. It is a good practice to pass around once a week to all the doors and oil the latches. One drop will completely oil half a dozen doors. Small machines, such as sewing machines indoors and grass seed sowers ont of doors, are greatly benefited by a single touch of oil on the fast running parts.

I'hirth and Heaven. Th» woes of the world—ss the waves do the

sea -

Keep our lives in n constant commotion. But they keep us from evil, from idleness free, As waves clear the face of the ocean. The Joys of our days—os the sunliKhto'erhead— Illumine our pathway with pleasure. But sunshine alone on sweet flowers shed Will ruin each hitthly prized treasure. Our friendships on earth—like a meadow of

flowers—

Fill our souls with a cheerful delight. But a dark storm of doubt makes gloomy the

hours,

As tlie blast strikes the daisies with blight. Our love is a gleam unlike aught around Of heavenly, ecstatic bliss; With love we can smile on all ills that abound Anil shatter all woes with a kiss. Our hope-as a star that shines through the night— Reaches out Into infinite space To some beautiful world, a Joy to the sight. That is ours at the end of the race. Our faith is o’er all—os the blue sky above 'Tia o'er us from morning till even: It shelters our souls with omnipotent love 'Tia our passport at last into heaven. —O. B. Smith. Silence.
