Cypress Lumber Becoming Popular.
Northern and eastern markets will in
few years be almost entirely dependent upon
southern woods for fine lumber. Northern
capital is pushing into Kentucky and Ten.
nessee, and is also dotting Florida and tha
Carolfnas with mills in the lumber regions
for the reason that many of the northern
fields have become exhausted so far as certain
classes of fine lumber are concerned. One of
the coming woods that will be universallv
used for fine trimmings in a few years by
northern builders is the cypress. Cypress
shingles have been popularity known in the
north for many years on account Of thea6
durability. But only in the past two or
three years has the value of cypress for haild-
Ing purposes been recognized in the norah.
The southern states have been utilizing
this wood for building material, aa.d have
found it to be one of the most durable woods
hs yet known. 1t is similar in figure and
grain to Georgia pine, and is susceptible of
very fine polish, and, Therefore, is used
principally for wainscoting and inside fur
nishings 1t is soft wood, and when tlry is
of about the same texture as whita pine.
While a general product CT all the southern
states, where it grows in the lo.lands. vet
the best cypress comes from Florida and
Louisiana. This is true, not that the wood
growing in those states is any better, but for
the reason that the miIlInen there know how
to work it into smoother and better lumber
than is manufactured elsewhere. Cypress
lumber has never commanded the price in
northern markets that it should command.

Omaha correspondence of the Chi
cago Inter Ocean:
When last Thursdays blizzard
came up the teacher, Miss Minnie
Freeman, who is still in her teens,
was at the little school house Of Myla
valley district with thirteen pupils,
ranging in age from six to fifeen
years. About an hour before the
time for dismissal. the blizzard, which
swept across the level Prairies of Ne
braska with fury which can hardly
be conceived by those who have
never experienced it, struck the
school house with such force as to
tear the door from its hinges. An
OF 'er terrific gust struck the building
and in the twinklng Of an eye carried
away the roof, leaving the frightened
little ones exposed TO the elements.
The time for prompt action had ar
rived, but the plucky teacher was
equal to the emergency. She gather
ed her pupils together, and securing
a coil of strong, heavy twine, began
with the largest one and tied them
altogether by the arms, three abreast.
Taking the youngest in her arms she
tied the end of the twine around her
own body and with all the words Of
encouragement she could muster,
started out into the furious storm.
Selecting her way carefully the brave
girl led her little charges through
snow drifts and the binding blizzard,
and after . wearisome journey of
three quarters of mile the little band
reached the thres iold OF farm house

Some three or four weeks ago one W. A.
Webster broke his arm, and having no money
or friends was sent to the poor house until he
should recover from his injury. While "on
the county" he fell desperately in love with
Il crazy woman named Viola Richards and
the passion being returned, they exchanged
mutualvows of eternal fidelity. This week
Webster recovered sufficiently to be dis
missed from the care of the county, and he
came up town and earned 50 shoveng coal.
With this fortune in his pocket he returned
To his Viola at the poor farm, and they
planned ii flight from that place. They sue
ceeded in getting only short distance away
from the premises when they were stopped
by the iratc superintendent. Webster OBJ
iected 10 surrendcring his charge and "a
spirited struggle took place before Viola was
secured and taken back to her quarters.
The superintendent sent for the patrol wagon
and Webster was taken before Judge Berka.
After hearing the story the Judge, with sly
twinkle in his eye. said it was only a week or
two ago that he had punished a couple for
not being married when they should be, and
that if he punished a person for wanting to
get married the public would begin to Won
der in what position a man was safe. He,
therefore, dismissed the case.
