FIFTY YEARS ON THE BOOM.
The King OF Maine Log Contractors
Life on the Bangor Boom.

The king Of all log navigators is
William Corners Of Bangor, who. as
rafting contractor at the Bangor BOOM
for more than thirty years, has prob
ably handled more logs than any other
man in the world.
Mr. Corners is now sixty-fiVt years
old. and ii was over fifty years ago
that he first took a pole in his hand
and went 10 work at the Bangor boom
Since that time he has done every kind
Of numbering work. from choppng
trees in the woods to navigating the
logs through the swift waters Of the
Penobscot in the spring time to their
destinations at Oldtown and Bangor
From a woodsman at $40 a month he
rose TO be an operator on his own ac-
count. and from wedge boy on the
boom he became finally the boss Of the
whole concern-the contractor for get
ting the millions Of logs from the great
boOms above Oldtown to the sawmills
on tideWater at and near Bangor. He
has always been a hard worker, and
now ne has his reward in wealth and
high position in the business commu-
nifty. Hundreds Of boys who started
on an even footing with him have
never risen above day wages. while
William Corners is now and has been
for many years one of the solid men

Her Growing Glory.

If you are believer in the old say
ing that woman's glory is in her
hair you cannot help being surprised
at the extraordinary want of artistic
taste that many women show in the
arrangement of their tresses, convert
ing them into Disagreement, instead
of into glory, says the New York
Telegram. But, after all, the matter
to each one of us is not so much how
other people arrange their hair, as how
way becoming to both face and figure?
Nowadays we have plenty of styles
to choose from, and it is less impor-
tant to select the very newest than the
one that is most becoming. In choos-
ing style pay heed to the following
rules: For long, thin face the ar
rangement of the hair should be full
and round, and, if possible, the coils
should just show from behind the ears.
The nape of the neck should also be
filled as much as possible, and softly
waving or curling the hair will i'm
prove the appearance. For a sharp
featured face the hair should be ar
ranged loosely, and at the back rather
than the top of the head. A round,
chubby face looks best with the hair
arranged in narrow style at the back
and we'll carried down to the nape of
the neck. Unless the forehead be par
ticularly high, fringe is not desira-
BILE, or, at least, only just so much
as one is obliged to have nowadays for
the sake of ones milliner. Very tall
women should not dress their hair
high, but leave that style to their
shorter sisters. Young girls in their
teens should wear their hair simply
tied back as long as possible, and on
no account should they turn it up
until they have arrived at the stage of
wearing long dresses.

When Mai. March's battalion OF the
Thirty-third infantry went on Its wild
chase up in the North Cordillera
mountains after the flying Aguinaldo.
his footsore men there came across
some new and strange specimens of
humanity.
These strange mountain people OF
Luzon are known as the Igorrote. This
word Igorrote was originally the name
of a single tribe, but for some reason
or other has been extended in modern
times to include all the head-huntlng
savages of Luzon. OF late "Igorrote"
has become synonymous with wild"
and the word is now applied to the
different hill tribes Of the interior in
dependent of their race or descent
With the Igorrote it is said to be
impossible for young man to find a
bride until he has at least one head
to his credit. They are a fierce-looking
folk, with long, lank hair, and go about

UntIdy Girls.

One often wonders how it Is that
some loveable girls. who are domesti-
Gated. obliging and accomplished, are
so terribly careless of their personal
appearance at home. They are in the
minority, it is true, but they are to be
met with very frequently, and 1t is for
their benefit that this paragraph Is
penned Why should the members OF
your own household, who are, pre-
sumably, far dearer to you than
strangers, be treated with less con-
sideration than outsiders? If you are
staying at friends house, you would
not leave your bedroom without max
ing a careful, though not necessarily
elaborate, toilet. Why, when under
the parental roof, should you take your
seat at the breakfast table with hair
still in irons" neck and wrists de-
cidedly untidy, and general appear
ance of neglect and slovenliness per-
vading your attire? Even If there are
household duties Of ''grubby" nature
to be performed-fires to be lit, CRATES
to be brushed, or carpets to be swept
these can be done just as well if the
hair has been neatly arranged, the
morning additions conscientiously per-
formed, and a neat dress donned. Then,
lust before breakfast, another washing
of the hands, and the putting on of a
collar and a pair Of cuffs, will make
the busy girl quite as attractive in ap-
pearance as she undoubtedly is when
dressed" for the afternoon. The habit
of going about the house untidily at
tired is one which grows rapidly on
the unwise girl who once adopts 1t. 1t
appears so much more easy to keep In
the Curriers'" instead of giving the
hair it's matutinal brushing and ar
ranging. The complexion-pTeserving
wash is shirked, because the water lis
so cold"-this is not an exaggeration;
there are some girls who in winter
never wash their face until after
breakfast The old gown, with frayed
wrists, missing buttons, or broken but
ton-holes, is put on morning after
morning, until its wear becomes al
most second nature; and no attempt
IS made to look nice" until there Is a

same ground, hurry as they might.
Yet these wonderful Igorrote noun
tain runners had actually covered the
distance in less than eight hours. Just
how they did 1t no white man has ever
discovered. 1t has been supposed that
shey have some secret signal service
of their own by means of which they
can flash messages from mountain
peak to mountain peak. But even
where an individual runner has been
dispatched to deliver message in per-
son he has arrived at his destination
in a wonderfully short space of time.
They have, of course, a thorough
knowledge of all the forest paths and
numerous mountain passes This means
a great deal, as journey that might
be made in a day by white man with
a guide will often take at least week

tive to show the way.

How tn Keen Young


If we take little leaf out OF the
mind-cure books we can have physical
rejuvenation through a youthful spirit,
which must find expression. Cast away
sadness-for that is hateful to youth
and cultivate instead a real interest IN
all that is going on, whether in the
world about you or in the great
world. Observe young girl OF normal
, intelligence who has not been
spoiled" Could anything be more
striking than her keen, voracious in
terest, in contrast to the tired apathy
Of her elders? Keep your interest
alive, feeding it on catholicity OF SUD-
jects, as you value your youth; for II
certain mental muscles are not USED
they will atrophy, and you will be old,
no matter what Is the date OF your
birth. Every human being you en-
counter is the central point of the
universe from his or her point OF
view; how, then, can such a one es-
cape the interest of others? Every
life has it's life aims just as vital as
yours. Interest yourself in others,
and, with no such intent at heart, you
will find the spirit refreshed. Away
back in nursery days we learn OF the
little girl who wept in contemplating
the bridge she did not have to cross
after all; but the lesson did not go
very deep, for we keep on worrying
until we have lines up and down the
forehead and lines across The thirty
year marks" they call them, but that
is mistake. Thirty years OF worry
would wrinkle a marble forehead, but
thirty years of optimism would keep
smooth the most delicate skin. worry
spoils the digestion and brings Ill
health, which in turn ruins beauty.
Worry enwraps the mental faculties,
and prevents them from free exercise
hampering judgment and shutting out
light. Even those who do 1t must
know these things well, yet still keep
on. for not to worry means a condi-
ton of spiritual strength and eleva-
ton which is only attained by gradual
process, and everyone has not learned
the way. The lines on the face are
the expression of 'the body's guest"
They will come; but who could object
to crinkling around the eyes that
make a smile the merrier, or lines
about the corner of the mouth that
have a kindly meaning? Such lines
stamp the face with undying youth

of these strange mountain head hunt
ers is the habit of devouring all en-
emies who have fallen on the field OF
battle. Physically they do not stand
quite so low in the scale Of civiliza-
ton as the Negritos, but morally and
mentally they are about as unregener-
ate specimens of humanity as are to
be found in any part of this benighted
globe Of ours. Their chief diet Is car
abao meat and wild roots found in
the woods, but a special delicacy re-
served for state occasions is stewed

Must We Wear the Saucer hangs?

The reign of the pompadour is on the
wane. Gradually it is getting smaller.
Now a bit of the thickness is left out
of the bunch on the side; again little
is taken away from its height. Slowly
but surely it is losing its imitation,
surely getting fiatter and f1atter. Thus
far the new mode is excellent. for IL
always is delightful when the shape
of woman's head stands out clearly.
But, alas. Dame Fashion has no wish
to see the hair Of her subjects dressed
plainly, so she has begun to suggest
the saucer bang. Paris already has
adopted this ugly fashion, and so have
those American women who always
try the new styles without waiting for
the conservative woman to make them
good form" 1t is to be hoped the
latter never will happen. Surely the
good taste of American women will re-
volt against the general adoption of
this hideous method of dressing WON

with naked, tattooed bodies. When
March and his men swept up the
mountains on the heels of Aguinaldo
and his little army, these Igorrote
were astounded at the sight of the
American soldiers. What surprised
them most was the soldiers "boom,
boom fire sticks"-for such they
termed the modern army rife. These
mountain folks are no friends of the
Tagals, and were glad enough to point
out to the Americans the direction In
which the Filipino leader and his men
had gone. They held, however, most
superstitious beliefs regarding the
powers of the Tagals, and soberly de-
clared that they were in league with
the spirits of the air and had floated
away on a cloud when the white men
pursued them over the mountain.
There were just 100 picked men in
Maj. March's pursuing party, together
with the "Chinos' packers, and they
felt sure that they had Aguinaldo in

lion arrived at Cervantes, it was found
that the insurgent leader had fled two
days before, making for Bontoc, an
other town up among the clouds, three

Suggestions to Beautify tho Home.

Suggestions TO beautHy INC hOmes
Nothing affords so great an oppor-
tunity for decoration as a window in
a recess. A low seat running around
it, the cushions upholstered with some
artistic tapestry, is suggested at once.
After that, growing plants should be
hung from above and curtains ar
ranged to make of the window YER
table coy corner. OF course this Is
simple if the recessed window is built
in the house. But the appearance OF
a recess may be given to any window.
and is advisable often in the case Of
one in large, bare room. Place a
couple of brass arms so they will jIt
out from either side of the wincow
and connect them in front with 0Tass
pole, over which some curtains are
draped. Curtains may also be hung
from the side arms and the inner side
of them partially concealed by tall
palms. The decorations should be fin
ished, of course, with window seat.

structure, with the request that in case
the barn should ever be torn down a
final search should be made. He re-
turned home and the lost ring was re-

abandoned. Last week, however, Mr..
Bishop received word that the old barn
had been torn down to be replaced by
a new structure, and that the ring had
been found and would be forwarded at
once. The ring arrived yesterday
through the mails, and Mr.. and Mrs.

Mrs. Buggins has gone in for the
emancipation of her sex, says the

she confesses she would not know how
to vote if she tried. Her attempt at
emancipation has taken the form Of
pajamas. For long time she has
rallied against the conventionality that
has bound her to the robe de mutt, and
has cast envious eyes at the silk pa
jamas worn by Mr.. Buggins. 81 don't
see why we women can't wear them,
too," she said the other day. Then she
went to Chestnut street haberdasher's
and asked to be shown pajamas for
boys. How old is the boy?" asked
the salesman. Gracious! l don't
know" replied Mrs. Buggins, who is
not blessed with any children Of her
own. And then, seized with sudden
inspiration, she added: Il think he
wears a No Is collar, if you can tell
by that" The salesman told her that
those sizes were not kept in stock, and
would have to be made to order. you
had better bring the boy here, and
then we can tell better about the Size"
he said. Mrs. Buggins promised and
left the store, greatly detected.
