LOG ROLLING.
While wrestling with n fallen Tree a
Lumbernan Receives consequential

While on hunting excursion in the great coal
ana wood region near Carbondale, Pa, the writer
met William Coil, lumberman. Accustomed to
life and labor in the forest from early manhood he
was a true Knight of the Axe. Many tree had
fallen before his ringing strokes and fleets of RATS
had borne away to- market the sawed products.
Coil is character and if Oscar Wilde is right in say
ing that all movements in unhindered labor are
graceful our friend William, stripped for his work
and attacking tree as Richard I. assaulted the
heavy doors of Front de Beuf's Castle must have
presented an admirable picture
One day however,-but let him tell the story him
self, as he told it to me:
81 was out in the woods, you know, trying to
start log down hill. Thinking could get bet
ter purchase 1t from the lover side, tackled it
there with my log-rolling hook and threw my
weight on the lever. She started, she did, but
way she rolled right over me- If it hadn't been for
lot of small limbs and brush lying in the road
which lifted her up, she'd crushed me fat AS it
was got up without broken bone, but with some
mighty bad bruises
"Then you were all right said his auditor
"Not by blamed sight, stranger. I took cold
rheumatism set in, and, If, hadn't heard of BEN
SONS CAPCINE POROUS PLASTERS and used
'em, it's my opinion I should never have made
another chip fly. But the Capcine took hold quick,
and I'm bout good as new. But there's one
thing you kin calkilate on:-I shall never wrsstle
with another log unless have the advantage of the
ground. Fur, as told you before, if it hadn't been
for them brushes I'd been smashed so, you could "a
sold me for door mat"
The Capcine is the thing for rhematism. 1t
doesn't keep you waiting The word CAPCINE is
CUT in the center of the genuine. Price 25 cents.

Imprisoned by a Bear.

From the Ogden Pilot.
Last Tuesday an old gentleman who
has been engaged in hunting for some
time past met with an adventure SO
thrilling and interesting that he became
deranged. He was hunting near Bing-
hams Mill, in Ogden Canon whena deer
sprang up and started to run down a
canon. Being a good shot, the hunter
soon rolled it over and proceeded to
skin the same. He had progressed but
little when large bear came rushing
toward him. Again he levelled his ri
de and sent bullet crashing through
the thick hide of oruin. Instead of
killing the bear, it only enraged hi m
and after moments delay. more furi-
ously than ever, he renewed the mad
rush Tor the hunter. Seeing that his
only hope for safety lay in flight, the
hur ter at once dropped his gun and ran
along the hill until a friendly cave was
discovered, and in this he took refuge.
The bear was unable to follow into the
! black hole, but obstinately took a posi-
ton at the entrance, which for two days
and nights be. maintained. Occasionally
the hunter would emerge from his hid.
iDg place and look over, expecting the
animal had ia ken its departure, but each.
time he returned disappo With
the imprisonment came hunger and
thirst, and finally the loss Of reason.
