Mr.. Editor, did you ever scale logs
for a saw-mill? If not, you have miss
ed a very interesting experience. The
positions assumed by the log scaler
and the hauler are something like this:
The scaler, armed with scale stick
and a lead pencil and tablet, proceeds
to the load of logs to be scaled, and
with his scale stick, which is pointed
at one end for the purpose of jabbing
into rotten holes, he proceeds to meas
the log. The hauler in the meantime
takes a position behind the scaler at
an angle of Is degrees to the right.
His chin rests invariably on the right
shoulder of the scaler, and his breath
much resembling rotten hay-comes
in puffs past the face of the scaler. His
position gives him an opportunity of
seeing the log scales, and in case of a
dispute, gives him a chance for the
first row. The announcement of the
scale of the log generally brings a dis
Z lite, which is sometimes settled by ar
bitration, but in some extreme occasions
is settled by muscular force. In such
case the scaler uses his scale stick,
which is practically weapon of self
defence, though some use them for
scaling logs. The hauler uses cant
hook, which is also largely used as a
weapon of defense, though it is some
times used to roll logs with. The
winner settles the amount as to scale,
and the parties shake hands and every
thing goes on serenely until another
load of logs is hauled, when the same
is likely to be repeated. No, the log
scaler.s life is not one continual path of
sunshine, although he accumulates
vast amount of experience and abuse.

DIED-At his home in Belleview,
Mo-, on Saturday. September 9th, 1898,
WILLIAM, son of S. E. Buford, aged Is
years, 8 months and 25 days. Willie
was child who grasped Bible truths
far beyond one of his years, and was
ever ready to learn more of the beau
ties of the gospel. About two months
before his death he became Christian,
and united with the Baptist Church at
Belleview. He dearly loved the Sun
day School, and was ever attentive to
his teachers instructions. He will be
greatly missed in the Sunday School.
During his illness the fact that he could
not recover was revealed to him, but it
excited no fears for the future, and he
met death as bravely as one declining
in years. His funeral services were
conducted by Rev. F. M. Shoush, and
the remains inferred in the Masonic
cemetery at Ironton.

| Ed. Register-Could any one come to
the Worlds Fair with the intelligent
curiosity that leads one hither, and
remain a silent spectator of this accum-
ulatlOn of wonders of nature and art?
If so, it would only be because there is
no vocabulary sufficient 10 describe the
ever widening wonders of the scene,
and ones total inability to comprehend
| them within limited period of time,
hasten as one may, for in the kaliede-
scopic changes of the oriental and
| occidental splendors which meet the
eye on every hand within and without,
architectural grandeurs, combined with
lake and lagOons, verdant and varie-
gated landscapes and electrical
phenomena; glories rivalling sun,
moon and stars; and the vast throngs
OF humanity, apparently as boundless
and restless as the ocean, there is an
exhaustiveness of the truly great in
this vast accumulation, which battles
not only ones power of description, but
endurance, as well.
Ere we are aware of our wavering,
waning strength. carried camp chair,
sedan, borne upon the shoulders of
four Soudanese, or a vehicle with a
single occupant wheeled by Il guider,
is very suggestive and compels the
weakening flesh to resort to the same
device to keep up.
When night follows day with it's
superabundant displays, a new revela
ton of surprising wonders greet the
eyes from the electrical world of inven-
ton. Fire works and fountains of light
that rival the widest fancies of the
Arabian Nights Entertainments, max
ing real an oriental dream; in the Court
of Honor from the Peristyle in the
Grand Basin to the Machinery Hall,
Liberal Arts and Manufactures and
Administration Buildings-one blaze of
enrapturing splendOrs: for here we are,
glad we came and saw before the
golden gates were opened, for now we
know there is a heaven on earth. al
though the pandemouium of the dis
cOrdant may greet us amid the surpass-
ing beauty of it all.
Come and see and-ive-not die
for the grandest hope of humanity is
here revealed in this evidence of the
worlds great progress. The paradise
of Adam and Eve is here produced
with the accumulated glories of the
centuries and the GROWING wonders of

canonized by Pope Leo XIII. and
America is blest with her saint who
