Referring to the recent meeting Of the
wool growers in this city and the tele-
gram sent to the senators asking them
to oppose the reduction Of tariffs on
wool, the Wahpeton Globe says with
reference to the attitude Of Captain I.
B. Baker, one of the members, and dem
ocratic national committeeman for the
state:
Captain Baker is the manager of a
company that has twelve or fifteen
Thousand sheep on ranches west Of the
Missouri, and he told the writer that
they expected to shear more than l00,-
600 pounds Of wool from their hocks
this years, for which they figure on re-
ceiving from q to % cents a pound. The
reciprocity treaty with Argentine pro-
poses a reduction OF two cents a pound
on Argentine wool, which would
likely affect the wool market in this
country.
There is a time when politics is rele-
gated to the rear-and that is when it
conflicts with business interests.

The prohibition question is being ac-
lively discussed in Sargent county. The
Teller devotes a large amount of its last
weeks space to the views Of citizens who
favor resubmitting the question. The
continual violations Of the law around
the state, despite the heavy penalties,
are the best argumentsin favor of resub.
hitting the question say the writer's
above referred to. The opinion is ex-
pressed that a strict license. local option
law is better than grossly violated pro.
hibition law.

for a state office. Sorley is n Of the
traitorous republicans who elected
Roach In 1893 and no republican is I'M

SPRUCE TUMP To- EIGHTEEN INCHES o
HIGH.
losses through ordinary numbering are
considerable in the aggregate. Some
of the items connected with niece
sary waste are as follows:
Where the numbering is done under
the system of contracts and subcon-
tracts, the temptation for jobber to
do careless work is very great. Unless
carefully watched he is apt to cut un-
necessarily high stumps, to leave large
tops in order to avoid the trouble Of
trimming OFF the branches, to leave
trees lodged in hard woods and other
wise to fall below the standard Of good
numbering.
The principal loss arising from care
less numbering is occasioned by ~
needlesslys high stumps. (2) large tops,
Sl skids left ii the woods, az valuable
timber used in leveling roads and (5)
destruction of small growth In telling,
skidding and hauling.
When the trees are feIled BY chop
ping, the stumps are cut at the point at
which the ak naturally falls when the
chopper stands erect. This is usually
about three inches above the ground.
The majority Of trees, however, are
somewhat lower, averaging about 80
inches in height. The sawyers protest
against cutting low stumps, because it
tires their backs to stoop over. Expe-
rience by careful 1umbermen has Prov
ed that such high stumps are entirely
needless.
Where numbering is done under con-
tract 1t has been the usual custom in
the Adirondacks to cut only logs which
will scale six inches at the top end.
Where timber is cut for pulp smaller
logs can be used, and many companies
which operate their own camps compel
the choppers to cut logs as small as
five and often four inches. The aver
age size Of the top log Is nearer eight
inches. There are In some cases to
u feet OF wood left In tops which lis fit
for pulp and which is actually Sc used
by many companies.
The point will at once be raised that
the tops are OF inferior quality. The
reply is that many companies use this
material and that the total amount Is
80 great that It would pay TO utilize 1t
even at only one-fourth the price OF the
rest OF the timber.
The majority Of sideways are built
Of spruce. II is the custom to leave the
skids in the woods, and the owner
loses not only the stumpage value of
the timber thus wasted, but also the
advantage OF future increment which
the trees would take on if left stand

Destruction Of small growth In haul
ing takes place on steep roads, where.

is elusive and shy for singers to tell Of
the miraculous effects Of certain Of their
productions in bringing cheer to gloomy
hearts and hope to despairing lives. "a
little leaf Of poesy, waited by a breeze of
chance to lie upona bleeding heart, acts
as a soothing balm and the torn and
tempesttossed hearts healed and led to a
haven of rest and gladness. Thus I shall
reproduce some letters sent to me from
grateful readers in Illustration. There

DEAR SIR: One Of your poems came
to my hands recently with soup bone
wrapped up in it. It was at a time when
nothing to eat in the house but food.
Ny wife had paralysis and was unable to
take in washing. Thus our principal
source Of revenue was stopped. In this
dark hour your poem came to me. It
breathed hope and encouragement. 1

that there we're worse things in the.
world than I had ever dreamed of. IF
every poor family in the country could
receive a soup bone wrapped up in one
of your poems you would be a public
b~enefactor. / am now cheerful and my
wife is well, and the music of the wash
board in the kitchen tells me that we are
making money again. / believe you are
the author Of that little couplet or triplet:
When the soap is in the boiler,
When the wash is on the line,
Whenyour wife is strong and healthy,
Why should any ma repine?
Accept my grateful thanks for the
good you have done me. You have done
what Pydia Linkham has failed to do in

It makes you feel that your work is not
entirely without reward when you get a
letter like that. Here is another illus

nine and end it all. / purchased half

your poems. / read the poem and the

says:
DEAR SIR: Mamma was on her death
bed. She was afraid to die and wept
constantly. We brought her your poem
which begins:
Where the citron it is sitting,
Where the radishes are red,
Where the canlihoWer is calling

She read the entire poem and died

The Tamahnc or Tomahawk.

Tamahac eventually came to desig-
nate the war Ratchet" of the Indian,
supplied by thas military commanders
of the whole continent in equipping the
warriors on the many expeditions in
which French and English were con-
stantly engaged, and was furnished
the Indian allies of the English in our
war of independence.
This weapon was either in the form
of spear or Ratchet blade on one side,
while upon the opposite side there was
a cuplike cavity, with a small hole ex-
tending into the eye of the weapon, in
to which a tough handle of wood was
fitted IS inches or two feet in length.
The handle was perforated almost it's
entire length, and below the hollow of
the bowl it was bored at right angles
to this perforation, a suitable stemhole
for the passage of the tobacco smoke
when the implement was in use as n
pipe.
The tomahawk pipe was not only at
tractive and popular in trade, but, like
the earlier trade pipe, was given as n
present at councils and ratifications of
treaties. 1t was a pipe, a Ratchet and
n mace or hammer all in one and an
swered an important military require
ment in lesseDing the weight and in
cumbrance of the warrior, who other
wise would have tenaciously held to
the stone pipe, which in itself was
heavier than the tomahawk. - Smith
