Official Address by Chairman Butler.

Omc1al Address by Chairman Butler.
Washington, Oct. 24.-The Populist ma.
tional committee, through Chairman But
Ter, has issued an official address to the
members of the Peoples party urging
them to locally support Bryan and fol.
low his banner wherever it leads. The
address is highly eulogistic of Bryan as
the peoples champion and warmly COM
mends Watson. 1t says there will be two
months between the election and casting
of votes by electors and there is surely
wisdom enough in the two parties which
support Bryan to adjust com mplications
to all. If Democracy lives
up to it's pledges, alliance may be con-
tinued, but if it does not three-fourths of
their people will march of under the Pop
udist standard. A fervent appeal not to
miss this opportunity to sucoor the op-
pressed concludes the address.

A MUsIC-LONIXG RABBIT.
4 Jack Rabbit Charmed by n Little
Girls WhistIing.

L. E. NJ. Smith, in St. Nicholas
Alice was acquiring a habit OF whist
Ing while working on the prairie just out
side Of her sod-house. She could whistle
very sweetly, too, which was omethins
of an excuse for the habit One day,
while in the midst OF her whistling and
picking up corncobs, she happened to
glance toward the cornheld that was only
a few rods from the house, and was very
much amused to discover a jack-rabbit
peeping al her from behind a cornstalk.
She stopped her work, and at the same
time her whistling 10 watch the funny
looking little fellow; and he, just as soon
as the whistling had ceased, became terri
fed at having attracted her attention.
and, bounding away, quickly disappeared
from view.
Alice again began to whistle. merely as
an experiment, and presently the long
ears pointed at her from behind another
cornstalk. She went on whistling, ana
the foolish little animal became so reck-
less that he hoped from behind the
cornstalk into full view. She then whist
led her sweetest, and he came few feet
nearer. She suddenly stopped. and after
a few moments of dazed indecision, the
timid creature began hopping back to the
cornneld as fast as he could go. Sudden
ly, though, she began with some sweet
bird notes, and when he heard the whist
ling again, the little animal stopped on
the instant. as though she had transtiXed
The amused eXperimenter continued the
sweet notes with variations, and the fas-
cinated animal, by degrees, came nearer
and nearer. until within a few feet Of
the charmer, and there he sat upon his
launches, literally "all ears" gazing at
the whistler entranced, his long ears stick
ing straight up In the air, as If he wished
TO catch every note.
Alice kept up the whistlng until she
was out OF breath, and when she stop

dazed, and seemed quite undecided as 10

to his senses, he was seized with sud

KICKING TREES.
Lumbermen Must Know Them ana
Know How to Keep From Being
Kicked
From the Rumford Falls Times

From the Rumford Falls Times.
Very few who have ever witnessed the
method Of numbering in our forests real
lie the danger, with its accompanying
fascination, the hard, rugged work with
its healthgiving results, or the enjoyment
to be found in camp life in the solitary
woods, miles from civilization
The danger from flying limbs or a "kick-
ing" tree as it falls, lodges or strikes
upon a stump or across a log, and swings
around or flies back with terrible force.
Is not noticed by the lumberman if they
are lucky enough to dodge successfully.
Another danger that people little realize
IS that OF the transfers, who haul the
logs from the stump to the main road.
Much of the timber is cut up on the
mountain sides, which are so steep that
a morse team can scarcely climb IN At
the top logs measuring from 80 to so
feet in length are loaded upon one sled
and are dragged down the mountain In
places the road goes down so steep that
the ends of the logs are above the horsesi
hips The logs with the sled tip down.
ana away they go down the mountain as
fast as the horses can go, with the team
Ster hanging to the reins and keeping
his balance upon the logs as they thrash
up and roll around beneath his feet. Oc-
casionaly the teamster emits terrific
yen that would put a COmanche Indian
10 shame, to warn his brother transfers
mat he IS coming, so they can get out
u lAS way. Iuey drive INTO a turnout,
and the loaded team spins past them 1t
Is seldom that horses loses his footing;
II he does The team is sluiced down the
mountain. Occasionally they go against
a tree, and sometimes both of the horses
are killed, but they generally come out all
right, with a few scratches.
With the advent of the railroad and
invention of wood pulp, the uses of the
spruce tree have been changed or en-
larged, and so far as Byron, Me-, is con-
cerned, the manner of getting 1t from
the forest to the market has changed
The logs are now loaded onto cars in
the forests and hauled TO the very mill
doors, where they are converted into pulp
and paper During the present winter
logs have been hauled to the Rumford
Falls Paper Company's mill, converted
into paper, shipped to distant cities, where
it is used by some of the leading daily
papers, printed, returned and read by the
camps crew where the lumber was cut
within fortnight from the time the tree
was cut in the forest. Such is the effect
of the progress of civilization upon this
branch of business. Only a few years
ago, even now, in remote sections, where
railroads have not reached, one year is
reckoned on TO get the lumber to mar
ket, and 1t sometimes takes two years to
run the lumber out of the stream to the
main river
