A Warm
Weather
Policy.

During the last fortnight we have
refrained from talking shop for three
reasons:
FiTs5-Every one felt so wrapped
up in the Boys in Blue" that they
did not care much about furniture or
listening to any lengthy talk on our
part
Second-The weather having been
such that people would much rather
stay al home and keep as cool as posi-
bic in preference to moving around
in the sun.
Third-This reason OF course is OF
more interest TO Us than to our Gus
toners, unless they are directly in
terested by having goods in our re-
pair shop. Regardless Of the Lot
weather We have had as much, and
some days more, than we could handle
in the repair and upholstery depart
ment. So that while you folks have
been entertaining or keeping quiet We
have been operating a bee hive.
We do not object al all, in fact we
will be more than pleased TO see the
orders roll in 10 such an extent that We
would be forced TO employ additional
upholsterers-

An EXPERT woodman once laid 1t down

looping was never to saw Oft n branch

The leafiess time of year is the wood

bare that they are most easily handled,
and the fact that the sap is dormant for
a time allows OF the trunk even or the
biggest being severed with greater ease
than would be possible when the ear Is
on. The legitimate method of tree-faliing
Is said TO be that which employs but
single implement-the AK. But while as
method of exhibiting the wIeders prowess
and obtaining severe exercise this Is above

much to be desired. and the crosscut saw,
aided by the beetle and any number OF
wedges is almost invariably employed. To

and can be achieved by a man and boy

or spreading chestnut Is another matter,
