Quickly each man takes his place on
one Of the long benches that extend
along the sides of the table. The
crowd is merry and noisy. Jokes and
keen retorts fly back and forth and
the cookie comes in for his share OF
the good natured chaff. With final
scrape and shuttle the benches are
drawn close to the tables, comparative
silence prevails and decks are cleared
for action.
The cookee rushes along the tables,
placing the dishes of potatoes, cram
berry sauce and other accomplishments
of the turkey. This doesn't take much
time. Everything is soon ready for the
big thing and the COokee brings in the
turkeys. Big and brown and fragrant
they are, and if anything We're needed

the tables ii would be the SaVory odOrS

The long dining room of the cook

is bright. The rough log walls seem
to beam with good cheer and the big
box stove in the middle of the room
sends a warm greeting to the hungry
lumberjacks as they come troopng in.

There is no lack of appetite, either, On
the part Of the regular boarders. A
half days work in the timber with
snow a foot or more deep is calculated
to put a good appetite into the frame
OF almost any man. Add TO this nor

the spirit of the glad season and posi-

may be easily imagined.
Outside the door of the cook house
is suspended a broken circular saw
that has been brought up from the
mill. The equipment of no logging
camp is complete without this. When
dinner is ready the cookie" pounds
away on this saw with a club and the
resulting sound is one that makes a

The Hebrew type is usually lacking
among these knights of the axe and
peevy and, however variant may be
the natures of the individuals of the
cosmopolitan membership of the crew,
there is not one who does not hold in
high regard the Christmas holiday.
There is no Christmas tree in the
logging camp and the boys do not
hang up their stockings. Sometimes
they wish each other a merry Christ
mas, but more often they do not. Their
Christmas celebration centers in the
dinner, and that is why the cook has
no difficulty in controlling his some
times rebellious subjects as the holiday
approaches. The boys want to be sure
that he is in good humor, for the better
he feels the better the Christmas din
ner will be. This they have learned
by past experience, and by this ex-
perience they profit. To the full ex-

The Irishman is there-as he is
