The exposure to all sorts ant

The exposure to all sorts and
conditions of weather that lum-
herman is called upon to endure in

at Fort Bragg. CAL, says they sell
large quantities of Chamberlain

.pu. Me OF AZ Buaalo..

The title of this wellknown
song as well as the song itself
emanated from the brain Of an
employee of the Buffalo Brewing
Company. That enterprising firm,
believing that man who could
compose so catchy an air must
have a large and we'll balanced
brain, straightway raised his sala-
ry. This has proven to be good
move on their part as is testified
by the excellent qualities of their
beer, which is dispensed over the
bars of the Cosmopolitan, Pacific
and Royal saloons at the rate of
two glasses for 25c. 1t is always
fresh and cold and life sustaining.
Or you can get one glass of But
falo and one of Pabst beer, the
fine product of the Milwaukee
brewery. Exchangeable checks
good at all the above mentioned
resorts are given in change if you
only want one drink. "Best beer
ever in Honolulu" is the verdict
of many of our prominent citi-
-zens.

BOLD BANDITS OF FORMOSA
ALLEGED CAUSE OF THE PRESENT
INsUEREC ,ssN.
marauders who Levy Tribute on
Peaceful Inhabitants and Defy
the Authorities.

What the Japan Mail believes
to be the true origin OF the bloody
instruction in Formosa is trans
lated from the Nichi Nichi Shin
bun of recent date. Jt says:
"About seven and half mliea
from Ten-liu, in the Taichung
district, there is mountain called
Shanpingtung. Behind it stand
ranges of high mountains. For
many years past this region has
been the resort of lawless folk,
whom the Chinese authorities, un-
able to reduce to order, were wont
to leave unmolested, while the
we'll to do inhabitants of the dis
,trict made habit of providing
for the security of their lives and
properties by paying toll to the
bandits. The insurgents on the
present occasion are not men who,
from having once been peaceful
law-abiding people, have turned
rebels. They are the bandits that
for long time past have lain
concealed in the mountain fast
nesses about Yuen. lin, welding
considerable power.
SIN the spring of this year our
troops, garrisoning the district,
set themselves to clear away these
Yuen. lin bandits, but the latter
had such a thorough knowledge
of the natural advantages offered
by the ravines and forests of the
locality that little impression
could be produced upon them,
and they were left alone. AS is
generally the case with semi. bar.
barous people, the immunity these
bandits enjoyed inspired them
with feeling of contempt for our
military force, and they began to
make raids upon the hamlets and
farms in the vicinity. Thus, on
the 18th of June, they visited a
japanese wine shop not more
than $50 yards from police
station and behaved with great
violence, after which they fired
several shots and then retired to
their hiding places.
"On the 18th an attempt was
made by a detachment of our
troops to dislodge them from
Shanpingtung, but in the result t
our men found themselves sur
rounded by the bandits. A move
ment made against them in greater
force on the 2lst Of June, ended
in their disappearance and the
burning of their place of resi-
dence. A week later, the 2Sth of
June, body of them numbering
som 300, armed with rifles, at
tackled the gendarmes station at
Liu-pa pu, and then proceeded to
assault Isl tsi-chie and Yuen-lin.
Thus, briefly speaking, the origin
of the insurrection is that these
men, bandits 10y profession, grew
presumptuous on account OF their
too lenient treatment at our hands
and proceeded to lawless acts that
ended in open rebellion"

The Ladies Took To Further Interest in

 She had a seat in Michigan avenue car, with baby in her lap, all bundled up in an old shawl, says the Detroit Free Press. A woman next to her with two small children seemed to have con- siderable curiosity about that baby, and. after trying several times to get a sight of it's face, she said:
 Haven't you got your child bundled up rood deal for this weather?"
 But I have to keep him warm, ma am, 1" wGs the reply.

 ''Taen the poor little thing is ailing:"
 Just little ailing, na'am-just Q little. He's got measles with the humps atop of it, but the doctor says he's growing"
 No one heard the rest of her words. There were four or five mothers and six or seven children in tho car and there wasa stampede which took them all out and everybody else as well. When the ear relied on again the woman with the baby looked a5 the conductor inquir, ingly and asked:

RURAL GEORGIA JOYS.
The Oid-Timc LOg-Eoliinss and Corn
 SHuckings Are Things of the Past

The Oid-Timc LOg-Eoliings and Corn
 s.uckings Are Things of the Past.
 "Tbc old-time corn-shuckings and l lcg-rollngs have played out in the land of the south," remarked Georgia farmer from Ebert county recently to an Atlanta Constitution man, the conversation turning to farm life and its joys. ''Yes, one rarely ever sees the genuine old-ti1ne Georgia corn shucizing these days. You, see, for 3 number of years the farmers of this section of country did not grow enough corn to have re- spectablc corn-shucking, and as for log rollings, the farmers have not been ln the hunor of late years to clear up much new ground land, and for this reason there has been no occasion for much log-rolling."
 A listener wanted to know what was a log-rolling anyhow.
 ''Why. have you never heard of the lcg-rolliDgs we used to have in this country?" asked the farmer. Then you'vc missed half your life. It was the greatest fun the darl1ies on the farms had for years and years. The farmer who had cleared a new ground, when tho trees had all been cut down and the brush clipped off and burned, wanted to get all the logs of the field before he could cultivate it. Therefore ne would give what is called log-roll- ing, to which he would invite all the darlzics and laborcrs ca the ncighboring farms on some suitable day. There was no compensation in it, for 1t was pie ric, though you would never think it., for it was the hardest sort of work. The darlzics all would come in high glee, knowing that a great jug of whisky would be dished out to them and that big dinner would be given by the landlord who gave the log-roll- ing. What is meant by rolling logs is putting handsticl1 under them, with a darlzy at each end of the stick, and lifting tho iogs from the ground and then conveying them to pile here and there about the new ground, where they would be burned later. The fun came in with the rivalry among the darkics to sec who was the champion litter of the day. They would have great straps of leather that went over their shoulders in loop, and through this loop they would stick their hand sticks, sometimes enabling them to lift with their hands and their whole bod ies ct the same time, throwing their strength against their opponent, who had hold of the other end of the hand stick under tho log. This strap oi ] leather, fer scEe reason, was called ar
 Alabama It was great fun to sec them straining their very lives away under tho great, heavy logs here and
 there about the field. When night came on the frolic wound up with 2 great dance and hot supper as they called it, in the landlords kitchen"

Light Persons Poisoned by Ivy.

Mir. I. Ten Bosch writes from Ro- chelle park, N. J.. to Garden and Forest, saving: 'Whcnevcr 1 sec a tree in the embrace of a poison ivy, l take Tay knife and cut the vine. On the grounds of a few friends, and on my own, have cut vines from one and half to two and half inches thick. sometimes at the root, and sometimes aS far up as I could reach, and then tearing down the stems, have uprooted them with my hands. 1 have done this at all sea- sons. This spring 1 have alrcsdy cut out two dozen ivics, and have pulled up many others by the roots, when my hands were torn with blackberry thorns, but I never had trace of poiS- oning. A friend to whom l mentioned my immunity said: Of course you are not poisoned because you are dark. ; Since then I have been thinking that in the cases of poisoning which had come to my knowledge, the victims had been light-hairod. A younger brother of mine, who is very fair, has been severely poisoned"

There have been in England, recent ly. two examples of the recovery of lost wills fo.nd in Bibles.

If there had been no pictures, i5 is sad co re- fleet, nobody.would have looked into that Bible It is curious how the old custom of looking into old Bibles-not, indeed. for wills, but for bank notes has gone out. It used to be the way of religious folks to give the sacred vol rrac to their godchildren, interleaved in this excellent fa3hion. In Capt.
