This takes the strain off the hounds.
Let the pole rest on this and the log is
loaded. In loading large, heavy log,
Pry it up and place thick block under
it. Then fasten the chain as before, in
sert the pole, bear down on the pry
pole, have the block placed across the
hounds and the log is again loaded. In
getting up a supply of wood for the win
ter, in this way one can haul the smaller
wood and the log at the same time to
the wood pile, where the log can be cut
up for back logs for the fireplace and
saves handling the back logs twice and

CRUSADE AGAINST Rum.
Led by Miss Jessie Ackermau. a Woman
OF Pluck and E-nrpose.

Saloonkeepers on Chicaco's west side
are squaring their shoulders fer bat
tie royal. 4 modern Joan Of Arc in
the form of Miss Jessie 4. Alderman,
who has scaled the highest mountains,
explored the depths Of the ocean in
diving costumes, hailed passing steam
ers from the masthead and ridden over
land in Iceland SO miles on horseback,
has begun a crusade against King Alco-
mol. She comes to the Fourth Baptist
church of Chicago as special rescue
worker and is probably the first to
carry the work of the Baptist church
into a field hitherto claimed alone by
the Salvation Army Stun corps The
first onslaught will be against saloon
keepers. The latter are nerying them
selves TO face the bold invader. but il
Miss Aekerman's past achievements are
taken into account il is probable SIZE
will gain the citadel with the aid of a
telescope organ and her gentle person
ality.
Miss Alderman is known to temper
ance and rescue workers the world
over. 1t is unlikely that among them
may be found another woman with
such history of varied and daring
experiences. When seen at the home
of a friend her agreeable manners and
expressive face belied the trying situa-
tions through which she has passed as
a missionary.
The Fourth Baptist church, of which
Rev. Kittredge Wheeler is pastor, will
experience a change of work and policy
as result of the work mapped out for
the versatile women Miss Alderman
is one of the two licensed women Bap-
fist preachers in the United States and
is pretty well known as a lecturer.
Miss Alderman is an American, but
has devoted most of her life TO active
work abroad as a missionary. She is
at present working upon a history Of
her 500 mile ride on horseback through
Iceland. Thirty-one days were con
sumed in the trip, and each had its
