"Notll!n But q Man."

But finally at last we are all plain,
human flesh and blood and bones
weak and wayWard worms of the dust
with the reglar human proneness to
stray and straggle off into forbidden
grounds and eat of the forbidden fruit.
And it raley amt so tremendous strange
that somethin comes to pass now and
then in the Rocky Creek settlement.
Oncst upon q time-in the dead
hours of night landed in the town of
Texarkana-which is either in Texas,
Arkansas or Louisiana. The next morn
in there was reglar drove of boys hang
in round the boardin house where had
put up to pass off the time.
In bruisin around the town that day
[ saw a yearlin boy, with red head and
freekly face, come chargin down the
street, screamin with every jump at the
top of his voice:
80, NAV! nav! m-a-wi.
A fine-loolsing lady run out on the
front steps and wanted to know of the
boy what in all the round created
world was the matter with him.
II have saw Rnfe Sanders! says the
boy-'I have saw Rufe Sanders! He
amt nothin but man, and not well
dressed at that!"
Maybe that boy didn't know it at the
time. But right then and there he
spoke forth great COB of human truth
and soberness. When I returned back
home sent him a pocket knife that had
three blades, with my double-breasted
compliments. RUFUS SANDERS.

PETS in THE LUMBER CAMPS.
How Hermit Widmer Amuses Himself
| and Feeds tho Chickadees.

How Hermit Wtdmer Amuses Himself
and Feeds tho Chickadees.
A lumber camp in midWinter back in
the Adirondack forests is a lonely place,
even though 40 men are working there
The camp cooks, who must stay all day
in the place, find it extremely dull. So
it happens that such camp without q
pet tanned by the lumbermen from
among the birds or animals in the woods
is a rarity. In a camp up the West
Canada a rabbit is the pet. 1T likes the
salt given to it by the lumbermen, and
will allow the men to touch it gently.
It is tilnid, though, and quick motion
sends it into the brush.
Herman Widmer, a hermit woodchopr
per on. Little Black creek, has o. log
camp, in which he lives the year round.
Widmer finds among the birds that come
around his camp better company, to
his mind, than he would have in the set
tlement. The snow is three feet deep
and over about his place nowadays, save
for the narrow trails, one leading to his
"chopping," the other, which is ofteaer
filed with snow than not, out IN the
clearings leads to Northwood. The
snow is untraeked except by creatures
of the woods. Here before his door,
sitting on a. beech block, the woods
men while hunting rabbits, find the her.
nit talking to the chiclxadees. The
birds come down about him after perch
ing in the dense spruce tree that stands
before the cabin and rubs branches
with beeches, birchcs and another
spruce standing about Nidner's home.
The chickadees come in a big flock TO
the tree, then a few come down and
keep company, while the others pick
away at ham bones or skinned rabbits
hung up in the branches for them.
There are a few that Widner can iden-
tify, and to these he has given names
that in four instances the birds recog-
nize.
The birds perch on the old mans
shoulders, head, fingers and the palms
of his hands, utterly careless, apparent
" of their safety. Widmer wouldn't
harm one Of his birds, and even killed
his cat when the birds began to get fa-
miliar last fall.--N. Y. Sun.

THEIR OWN TELESCOPES.
Wonderful Powers of Vision of Tribe ca
African Bush1nen

There is q race of men who can see
as far with the naked eye as an orsli-
nary man can with telescope. Every
man his own telescope, might be ap,-
piled with propriety to these fortunate
persons. They live in a wild state in
the south Of Africa among the tribes oe
bushmen. The name .bushman" is
an Anglieism of the Dutch word ssbiose-
man. meaning man Of the woods
These human telescopes have tls-
rived their extraordinary power Of
yisions according to Mr.. Herbert Spen-
GER, through necessity. IT it were not
for this they must have long ago be-
come extinct. They are remarkably
small in stature for wild men, and they
offer an easy prey for the large, fierce
beasts that infest certain parts of SOUTH
ern Africa. And, on account Of their
diminutive size, they are not able to
fght5on equal terms with their Warlike
and larger proportioned neighbors,
Travellers in the region OF the long,
sighted bushmen have reported some
truly remarkable feats with the eyes.
One tlay, while q European was walk
ing in company with o friendly bush-
man, the latter suddenly stopped, and,
pointing ahead in some alarm, ex-
claimed:
"a lion!''
The white man stared until his eyes
ached, but he could make ont nothing.
Thinking that the native must have
made mistake, he insisted on going
forward, though his companion urged
him to rctreat. When they had adj
yanced a little further the bushman
again came to a halt, and abS9lutely
refused to go on another step, for, rs
he explained, he could distinguish not
only a lion, but also a number OF cubs.
1t would be dangerous, he said, to tam
per with lioness while nursing her
little ones.
The European, however, still unable
to see a lion, much less the cubs, pushed
on boldly. When he had advanced
quarter of a mile he saw an object moy-
ing slowly along IN the distance Mt tie
point to which the bushlnan had di-
rected his gaze. Still doubling that a
human being could possess such mar
yelous power of vision, he approached
nearer and finally distinguished the
form of a Honess making leisurely for
line of forest.
The limit of mans power of vision is
established by necessity. If our cx-
istence depended on our ability to see
twice as far as We do, this additional
power would be acquired by practice.
