SPLIT LOGS FYOR A LIVING.
Occupation Immortalized by Lincoln
Followed by Two Girls.

Splitting logs is the vocation follow
ed by two women in the woods back CT
Wallis station or tao Pennsyiyania
railroad. Annie ana Mary Wilson are
the names of those two women. They
are sisters. They split rails and make
pit posts and caps for the Spring Hill
Coal Company, whose works are be
tween Wilmerding and Walls. They
do all the work of telling the trees,
saving them into proper lengths and
finally with their axes splitting them
into pit posts. They are assisted to
some extent by their younger brother.
The girls work together always and
can swing an eight-foot cross cut saw
through an oak tree with apparently
as much ease as some women run a
typewriter.
When the tree is sawed through and
ready to split one of the girls sets an
hon wedge into one end of the log and
with a large maui weighing about
twenty pounds drives it in, splitting
the log from end to end The opera
ton is repeated until the log Is split in
to sizes for posts. Then the axes are
brought into play and the posts trim
med up and shaped. The girls came
from Indiana.
1.-THE work is not hard when you get
used to it," said one and then we can
make more money splitting rails and
making pit posts in one day than we
could in week working in a kitchen
What's the difference, so long as the
work is honest, how one earns a liv-
ing? Although | work hard every day,
rain or shine, never get sick. / was
never sick in my life. The people
around here all talk about us, but we
don't care for that We are earning
a good living and don't owe anyone
cent"

Mrs. Thurston died last week while
with her husband in Cuba. 1t was
her dying request that her husband
speak in behalf of the Cubans without
any delay. The senate chamber was
crowded and the speech was received
with tremendous demonstrations of
the bill for the protection of song
birds, prohibiting the importation of
birds, feathers or parts of birds for
ornamental purposes. Adjournment
