We connected with Uncle Jimmy's

and the oars were in Clam cove, and we
decided not to call upon the admiral

about the bay, and sometimes it rained
and again it simply sprinkled. And the

Amelie Rives' European Novel.

According to st. john" is the strik-
ing title of Amelie Rives latest novel,
which will begin in the August number
of the Cosmopolitan magazine.
This lady's startling debut in the liter
airy field three years ago is not forgotten
by the reading public, followed as it was
by her marriage and retirement from ac-
tive work, only occasional rumors being
heard that she was originating some
thing of higher order than any her ear
lier efforts. After two years Of silence
and travel in Europe, her temperance
in the arena of literature will be looked
forward to with interest by both the read
ing and writing public of two continents,
as her coming work may designate her
standing in the world OF letters either as
flashing meteor or a fixed star.
Her manuscript is now in the hands OF
distinguished Partisan artist for illus
tration. 1t will run through three num-
bers OF the magazine. The HERALD and
Cosmopolitan, one year. $3.50.

The GAGS Mystery.


The following curious puzzle beats the
celebrated "13-14-l5" enigma of a few
years ago, and is we'll worth investiea-
ton. Take strip os card board or paper
IL inches long and wide, thus giving a
surface OF 65 inches. Now cut this strip
diagonally, as true as you can, the result
being two pieces in the shape of triang-
les. Now measure exactly inches from
the larger end of each strip, and cut
elch in two pieces. Take your four pie
ces and put them in the shape of an ex.
act square, and it will appear to be just
s inches each way, or ga square inches
loss Of square inch Of superficial meas
urement, with no diminution of surface
The question is "what becomes of that
inch ".-St. Louis Republic best
written answer sent to the HERALr

Washington Timber.

Prostrate on the ground, Invested of his
stately regalia OF green leaves and gnarled
branches, there lies in The Chicago &
Northwestern yards at Fortieth street a
veritable king of the forest. 1t is the
biggest single piece of timber that ever
made transcontinental trip. Covered
with gigantic tarpaulin, the enormous
tree trunk looked like some levianthan
monster. Crowds gathered in the rail-
road yards TO gaze at the sight, and for
several days the Northwestern road
stopped its trains for a moment at the
spot so that view of the great tree cou d
be obtained by the passengers. The ar
rival of this tree in the city heralds new
industry and illustrates a new triumph
in railroad engineering. 1t came all the
way from the Pacific coast on three fiat
cars The timber was fastened to the
front and rear cars by holsters, through
which were passed enormous center pins
three inches in diameter. The middle
car merely acted as a coupler between the
other cars and the log was not fastened
to it. The future OF this magnificent
stick of timber will be neither prosaic
nor useless. 1t is to be used as a beer
counter at the Worlds Fair by the
Patst Brewing Company. Col. D. Soper
was sent West by the company some time
ago to select tree which would be suita.
BILE for such use, and to make arrange
ments for it's safe delivery in Chicago
After search OF several weeks he found
what he was looking for. 1t was white
fir tree, growing on the south side OF the
Cascade mountains in the Snoqualmie
valley, sixty miles east Of Seattle.

Pleased With the Crop Prospects.

President Cakes, OF the Northern
Pacific, has been interviewed in the east
since his return from Washington in re-
gard to the crops. He is quoted as fol-
lows
"The wheat and hop crops on the
Northern Pacific lines are assured and
the yield will be greater than in any pre-
vious year in the history of the state.
Gin North Dakota the outlook for a
great wheat crop is most promising, and
the next fifteen or twenty days will
demonstrate whether full yield may be
looked for The live stock shipments o.
the Northern Pacific last year amounted
to 5000 car loads. This year we expect
to move 10000 car loads. Passenger
earnings continue to increase over last
year.

A lumber paper refers to the discovery
of sunken logs in Michigan stream as a
revelation suddenly made regarding the
discrepancy Between the number OF logs
that come through boom and toe num-
Der that are put into the water, and
another lumber paper copies the remarks
without comment. That a certain pro-
portion of the pine logs that are driven
will sink is fact that has been as well
known for years as that they will float,
and shortage on that and other accounts
has always been expected. 1t is rather
late, after thirty or forty years Of opera
tions in the northwest, to make startling
discoveries regarding log driving All
streams have more or less sunKen logs,
and once in while an attempt is made
to recover them and clear out the chan
nels, although some streams have been
neglected in that respect. = Northwest

An enormous tree that grows in Tulare
county, CAL, is to be transformed into a
novel exhibit for the worlds fair. 1t is
396 feet high and 26 feet wide at the base.
From it log 80 feet in length and 20
feet in width will be cut, and this will be
sawed in two on the width. Out OF these
logs two railroad cars will be hewn. One
will be a buffet dining car with apart
ments for bath, barber shop and kitchen,

ton room. Platforms will be put at the
end and ordinary trucks underneath,
and to prevent the transformed tree from
falling to pieces, heavy bands OF iron VIII

In the world, but he stood up only a short
time before hat invincible wrestler, con
sumption. Sorakichi was born in Japan,
thirty-two years ago, becamea well known
Toxic wrestler, and came to America in
1888. The first match that brought him to
attention wa a draw with big Carl Abs,
who afterward threw him, as did Muldoon
and Duncan c.. Ross.
A victory over Jack Gallagher, a draw
with Ernest Roeber and victories over
many well known wrestlers gave Sorakichi
a national reputation. In 1886 he was
badly used up by Evan Lewis, who broke
one of the Jap's legs at Chicago. He was
never the same man after this match. His
last bout was three months ago, when he
met Farmer" Burns in Philadelphia. TIL.
