sHANTY BOYS OF NORTH WOOD
Logging Business I'm the Adiron-
dack wilde rneAs.

ty boys. who hew out the annual sup
ply of logs in the Adirondacks. live DUR
ing the long winter months, are large,
low cabins, built of round, unhewn
logs, notched at the ends and laid to-
gether "cobhouse" style. AT one end
is door hung on hinges cut from an
old harness tug, at the opposite end
small window. In this mems shanty"
the choppers, sawyers, skidders and
teamsters lounge and sleep. Near by is
the cook camp" another log cabin,
with long, rough table in the center.
around which the men sit on wooden.
legged benches to eat their grub"
as they call four hearty meals of bean
swagger," saleratus biscuit, fried pork
and potatoes, served to them at day
light, at ten o'clock a. m, at three p.
m. and again after the days work is
ended, about eight o'clock in the even
ing. In the end of this 'cook camp"
the cook and his satellite, the cookie"
sweat over huge range, preparing the
rations for the hungry army of French
Canadians. In a large log barn at the
opposite side of the mems shanty" the
logging teams are kept, baled hay be-
ing stored in loft overhead. Then
there are granary, blacksmith shop
and an Office, where the foreman and
scaler sleep, with an extra bed for the
boss, or proprietor, when he visits the
camp, the whole forming quite back
woods village, says the New York Sun.
For an average camp of some 60
hands the mems shanty" and the
cook camp" are each about 60 by 20
feet in size. The men sleep in rough
wooden hunks, ranged in double tiers
along the sides. In olden times they
lay on spruce boughs, with a single
blanket spread over them, but in these
degenerate days they have thin bed
ticks, luxuripusly stuffed with hay,
though they have not yet attained pill
lows and sheets.
With the big stove in the middle of
the room kept roaring with four-foot
sticks of beech and maple, no one suf-
fers from cold. Along the lower row
of hunks runs wide seat. made of a
pine slab, upheld by wooden legs, and
called deacon seat" Ranged along
these seats the jovial crew sit for an
hour or SO after supper, smoking their
short 'dhudeens' filed with cut plug
Of the strongest variety, and gibe and
jest go around and songs are sung and
stories told. The musician of the camp
brings out his fiddle, accordion or
mouth organ, and the jig dancer cuts
pigeon wings or the boisterous stag
quadrille' or spirited "French four
brings all hands out on the puncheon
floor, hoeing it down in moccasins,
shoe packs or 'larrigans," the latter an
offshoot of the moccasin with q top
boot.
Besides these lumber camps there
are many other little cabins scattered
throughout the woods. whose inmates.
the "gum pickers' of the north woods,
make livelihood from the Adiron-
dack spruce. A large percentage of all
spruce trees are made almost valueless
for lumber by cracks, which extend up
the trunks from the base to the lower
branches of the crown, in most cases
penetrating to the heart of the tree.
This seam fills with resin, which ex-
udes and hardens, forming the sprucs
gum of commerce.
