An irrepressible bad man named L. L.
Kelsey, who has for several nights been
making himself obnoxious in the pur-
lieus of Alameda street, found his mas
ters last night. Kelsey has been posing
before the unfortunate women CT the
district and others as police officer and
for couple of nights has made life
miserable for the genuine articles on

and causing them to scurry hither and
thither to respond to the summons. Last
night Kelsey got outside of rather too
big jag of whisky, and as conse-
quence, after blowing his whistle was
unable to make himself scarce as usual.
A sure-enough officer rabbed him and
summoned the patrol wagon. Kelsey
continued to be very obstreperous, and
among other feats leapt out Of the patrol
wagon. The officers accordingly sat up
on him and succeeded in subduing his
energy. Eventually Kelsey was landed
in the cooler and now feels very sore
at the rough handling of the officers

Interesting Facts About Spools and
Shoe Pegs.

"Oxford County, Maine, turns out
nearly all the spools on which the
sewing thread Of this country is
wound said a wholesale dealer in
such articles ''The spools are made
from white birch timber, and they
are produced in Oxford County.
There are many other parts of Western
Maine also where the industry is i'm
portant. There are numerous saw
mills in that part Of the State which
arc kept busy all the year round saw
ing white birch logs into strips four
feet long, and from one to two inches
wide, and Of the same thickness.
These strips are sent to the spool
factories, where they arc quickly
worked into spools by the most inge-
NOUS labor-saving machinery.
"The strips of white birch are fed
into one machine, and they are not
touched, in fact, are hardly seen again,
until the spools, all finished for mar
ket, except polishing, drop out by the
bushel from another machine several
rods away from where the strips started
in. The spools get their gloss by be-
ing rapidly revolved in barrels, turned
by machinery, the polishing resulting
from the contact of the spools in the
barrel.
''In the backwoods villages Of Ok
ford County one sees scarcely any
other industry but spool-making. and
every person in the neighborhood is
in some way interested in the busi-
ness. The factories have been eating
into the Maine birch forests for years,
but there still seems to be enough OF
the timber left to feed the machinery
for many years to come. Hundreds
of thousands Of feet of logs are cut
and sawed into spool timber annually.
"Shoe-peg factories are also an i'm
portant branch Of business once pecu-
liar to Maine, although it has of late
been followed to some extent in other
Eastern States, and is spreading to
the hardwood forests Of Northern
Pennsylvania. Maple is used largely
| in the manufacture Of shoe \pegs, al
though white birch is used at some
factories. Shoe pegs are sold by the
bushel, and are worth all the way
from Is cents to ST. bushel, accord
ing to quality. More than $4,000
was received by Maine shoe-peg fac
tories last year for goods.
GA curious and profitable business
has grown up in the Maine woods,
near the sawmills, in the utilizing of
the immense quantities Of sawdust by
compression. Thousands Of tons of
this waste material are bought for
mere nothing, and are pressed into
compact blocks and bales, and in this
form are finding a ready market for
kindling and fuel in Eastern cities. .
