SLIPPERY ELI T1ME.
A Man Of Middle Age Recalls One of
the Great Joys of nis Boyhood
Days In the Country.

"About this time of the year, when i
was "A boy, and the first warm days be-
gan to start the sap flowing in the
trees" said the man with the white
nustache. I'VE boys used TO swarm out
in the woods after slippery elm bark,
or slippery ellum,' as we called 1t. In
fact, slippery elm time was as much OF
an epoch in the year OF boy Of those
days as marble time, birch time, winter
green time, sassafras time o.ewimming o
time, says the New York Sun.
After picking out suitable tree,
preferably small one. as the bark on
the smaller trees was the more tender,
we'd line out with our jackknives an
oblong as large as we cared to, cutting
through the bark TO the wood. Then
we'd loosen up ole corner and with
tug or two the whole oblong would strip
off as slick as a whistle.
"rhe bark required little preparation.
All it needed to be fit for use was judi
cious scraping of Of the rough, scaly
outer bark from the smooth, white
layer of inner bark. Afterward it was
cut UP into strips lengthwise of the OBJ
long. There's nothing nicer in the
world to chew than a bit Of fresh slip
pery elm bark. Our mothers would
generally levy contribution upon the
spoils and dry it for medicinal purposes,
such as slippery elm tea, which was
frst-rate for sore throat. while as for
sore finger or n boil or anything like
that slippery elm poultice couldn't be
beat.
I'VE boys overlooked these useful
characteristics of the humble slippery
elm bark. however. All we cared about
was to get it TO chew. II took the place
Of gum. which was ranked with candy
and other like luxuries."
We Have the Enemy on the Hip.
WAsHISGToN, May 3l.-Secretary
Long, when seen by a reporter Tues
day, declared that he is thoroughly
satisfied with the war prospects. He
said: I'VE have the enemy on the hip,
and will make the most of the oppor.
tunity."

ment without further friction. This will
be eminently satisfactory to everyone.
No matter which side was in the right or
in the wrong, the importation of miners
to take the strikers places would have
aroused a bitter feeling and perhaps
violence, which could not fail to produce
harmful effect upon the county at large.
1t is a question difficult of solution,
whether the men are justified in main
tanning strike after their own employer
has acceded to all their demands as it is
claimed Gofham has done. 1t is like
wise question whether he is justified in
bringing outsiders to an already over.
stocked community even in the event
that the men are wrong. There is little
doubt that the latter expedient would
have produced trouble of serious
nature, trouble that would have resulted
in violence and perhaps bloodshed. The
question of furnishing protection to inn
ported miners either by the sheriff or by
militia would introduce another compli.
cation which everyone will be glad OF
avoid. 1t will be a matter for general
graduation should they report that the
troubles in Marshall, at least. are at an
end.
