A OowbOY's Bed.

One old campaigncr gave me the par
ticulars of his daily life. He never took
Off his rubber coat, he told me, while it
was raining He wore his leather
CHAPS all day long. He wore shoes
not boots, but also wore leggns. In
the evening he was dry from head to
foot, even if ii had rained all day. He
was especially careful to keep his feet
dry. His bedding was not nearly so
bulky as that of some others, but he
thought it ample, Some men carry
with them heavy cOvcrlcts, and even
make up kind OF mattress. This man.
however had three wooden blankets, a
rubber blanket and large piece of tar
pauln. In making up his bed ut night,
he spreads the rubber blanket on the
ground first Ncxthe laid his tarpaulin
so that its top was even with that of the
rubber blanket Then he stretched the
tarpauIin ont Hat, and il was perhaps
twenty feet long and eight wide. Next
he put coarse wooden double blanket
down over the rubber and tarpaulin,
leaving the lower half of the blanket
rolled up at the foot. Another was
placed in the same way. On top OF
these he laid another blanket. Then
the half of the other two blankets which
had been rolled up was drawn upon the
rest In this way bag bottom was
made at the foot of the bed, protecting
the feet, The lower part of the tar
paulin was then turned up over every
thing. 1t reached foot above the
slecper's head. Last Of all, the sides
OF the tarpoulin were doubled under the
bed The man worked his way down
into this sack from the head, and no
cold could penetrate it, | should add
that, before making his bed, he dug
away the ground to conform TO the
curves of the body, and he said It made
him as comfortable as il he were in a
feather bed. Cor Cheyenne Leader.

Bill Nye in a Saw Mill,

have Just returned from trip up
from the North Wisconsin Railway,
where went to catch a string OF cod
fish and anything else that might be
contagious.
Northern Wisconsin is the place where
they yank bic wet log into a mill and
turn it into cash as quick as a railroad
man can draw his salary out of the pay
car. The log is held on a carriage by
means of iron dogs while it is being
worked into lumber. These iron dogs
are not like those we see on the front
steps of a brown-stone front occasional
ly. They are another breed OF dogs.
The managing editor of the mill lays
out the log in his mind and works it in
to dimension stuff, single bolts, slabs,
edgngs, two by tours, two by Fights,
two by skies, etc, so as to use the goods
to the best advantage, just as woman
takes dress pattern and cuts it so she
won't have to piece the front breadths,
and will still have enough left to make a
polonaise for the last summer gown.
stood there for long time watching
the various saws and listening to their
monotonous growl, and wishing that |
had been born successful timber thief
instead of poor boy without rag to
my back.
At one of these mills, not long ago, a
man backed up to get away from the
carriage, and thoughtlessly backed
against a large SAW that was revolving
dt the rate of about 200 times minute.
The saw took large chew Of tobacco
from the plug he had in his pistol peck
ct, and then began on him,
But there's no use going into details,
Such things are not cheerful They
gathered him up out of the saw-dust and
put him in nail key and carried him
!, away, but he did notspeaE again. Life
was quite extinct. Whether il was the
nervous shock that killed him, or the
conclusion of the cold saw against
his liver that killed him, no one ever
| knew
The mill shut down u couple Of hours
so that the head sawyer could file his
saw, and then work was resumed once
more
We should learn from this never I,
lean on the buzz saw when it moyeth it

Birthdays Of Or Truly Grnat.


AS Il nation we pay very little atten-
ton to the BIRTHDAYS of our rulars and
great men say rulers and great men,
because the terms are not synonymous.
Oh, no. There are some Governors in
this broad land who would not he urea,
though they lived n thousand.ycars and
weighed u ton, There are some
members Of Congress who could not tell
u vaccination scar from blrth-mark.
And there are members of the Legislat.
ure who are not positive just when they
were born, Hence with us the day OF
the statesman's birth is Of little mpor-
lance, and in how many instances l. 1,
true that the day of the politician
death is better for the country than ,h,
day Of his birth. Oh, vastly better. So.
