MT. Roland Reed has been in Birming- ham before he will come here again, but it can be asserted without fear of con- tradiction that, come when he will no greater reception could be rendered him than was accorded to his most excellent company last night at O'Brien's. Not withstanding the fact that Forepaugh and Sells Brothers combined shows were a counter attraction, the IS. R. O." sign was out at the box office by 730 o'clock last night The audience was truly a select one and severely critical, yet MT. Reed and Miss Isadore Rush and the others in the cast received applause which at times amounted to ovations. The greetings were not because of the pop ularity of MT. Reed, but because of the sterling worth of the polished gentleman and actor, the delightfully."- charming lead ing lady and her ability as an actress and the all around smooth playing of the en- tire company.
 MT. Reeds versatility and power to please needs no criticism, no words of praise from a pencil pusher, for his repu- tation as comedian of the highest and most select class (of which there are but few) has long been established.
 MT. Reed, however, has a strong rival for popular favor in the person of Miss Isadore Rush. Last night she appeared upon the horizon as meteor flashing across the skies and the volume of praise bestowed upon her proved that she had at once won her way into the hearts of her auditors. Bright charm ing and good looking, with a dash and piquancy calculated to win admiration, there was no doubting the genuineness of the applause she won.
 The name of Charles Coote is familiar to Birmingham theater-goers, and his ap- pearance was greeted last evening with warm mark of recognition.
 Others in the cast deserve special men, tion, but space forbids. Suffice it to say that Mr. Reed and his company made "The Wrong MT. Wright success.

The buriy stranger sat upright list

the boy obeyed.
There was a loud knock on the door

Hank was a mere boy; but he had in

Hearing his mother threatened sent along
his nerves the thrill of true hheroiSm.
Quick as a steel spring he leaped TO the

How 10 Keep From Being Kicked.
Rumford Falls Times.
Very few who have never witnessed the
method OF numbering in our forests realize

ton, the hard, rugged work with its he: lth-
giving results, the enjoyment TO be
found in camp life in the solitary woods,
miles from civilization.
The danger from flying limbs or kick

upon stump or across log, and swings
around or flies back with terrible force. is
not noticed by the Iumberrnen ii they are
lucky enough TO dodge successfully. An
other danger that people little realize is
that OF the teamsterS who haul the logs
from the stump 10 the main road. Much
of the timber is cut up on the mountain
sides which are so steep that horse
team can scarcely climb up. At the top
logs measuring from 80 TO 90 feet in
length are loaded upon one sled ana are
dragged down the mountain. In places
the road goes down SO steep that the
ends of the logs are above the horses
hips
The logs with the sled tip down. and a way
they go down the mountain as fast as the
horscs can go. with the teamstrr hanging
10 the reins and keeping his balance upon
the logs as they thrash and roll beneath
his feet. Occasionally the teamSter cInits

With the advent OF the railroad and
invention of wood pulp the uses of the
spruce tree have been changed or enlarged
and so far as Byron, Me, is concerned
the manner of getting ii 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 bave been hauled
TO the Rumford Falls Paper Company's mill,
converted into paper, shipped 10 distant
