afterward was really scared for the
first time in his life His captor seemed
to enjoy the performance, and occa-
sionally prodded him with the bayonet.
But as the sergeant ran sense and nerve
came back to him, and he was humilia-
ted beyond measure at the thought that
he was running like a scared deer,
chased over the battlefield by one man.
Desperate and out of breath he
swerved from the direct line, struck his
pursuer squarely in the face, took his
Hgun, and made his escape before the reb
revived from the blow When the SER
geant came into camp few days later
he was the maddest man I ever saw.
From that day he was eager for picket
and skirmish duty, and would take
great risks to get shot at Johnny.
He became the best shot in the regi-
ment, and entered every engagement or
battle with the remembrance Of that
wild chase at Stone river urging him to
further efforts against the enemy. He
was never in a panic after that. Chi

MICH OBLIGED. RNT-

Governor Roosevelt is much obliged to
those who would nominate him for vice
president, but their candidate he cannot
be. He says: 1t is needless to say how
deeply / appreciate the honor conferred
upon me by the mere desire to place me
in so high and dignifed position. But
it seems to me clear that at the present
time my duty is here in the State whose
people chose me to be governor. Great
problems have been faced and are being
partly solved in this State at this time
and if the people SO desire l hope that
the work thus begun 1 may help carry
to successful conclusion.
The e-presidency isn't a place of
activity enough for the active Roose-
welt. 1t would suit Lieutenant Cover
nor Woodruff we'll enough, and his ac-
tivity in seeking it has, it is said, been
much increased by the decision of Gov
ernor Roosevelt. If Governor Roosevelt
wants a denomination and reelection
as governor he may get all the activity
he wants.

BRANDING LOGS.

|
| No part of the work done by the wood
choppers in the Maine forests is more
interesting than the marking Of the logs
with the brand" Of the individual or
firm to whom they belong Every log,
like every animal on cattle range,
must be marked before 1t starts out in
the world.
Log marking Is something Of an art.
Each mark must be cut distinctly, so
there can be no chance for dispute as
to the mark, and the mark must be cut
deep enough to Withstand the scrubbing
and grinding the log gets in going down
the long and rocky river drive from the
forest to the mills
The only instrument used In marking
logs is the common wood choppers axe
AS some Of the marks are difficult to
make, the markers must be expert in
handling their axes on this kind OF
work, or they cannot get job at mark
ing.
All the marking is done at the 'land-
ing one the border of a stream, river
or lake. where the logs are assembled
during the winter, then hauled out from
the woods where they, were cut. The
landing Is In charge of head man."
who is an acknowledged expert at
marking. He has with him small
crew, whom he instructs at first in the
art of marking. This crew sorts the
logs, generally into three divisions-the
mill logs. which are the largest, and are
to be sawed into lumber; the cedar, for
shingles, railroad ties and fence posts,
and the pulp logs, that are sold to the
great pulp mill corporations, which
grind them into material for making pa
per.
Each grade of logs has its mark The
mill logs take that of the firm by whose
gang they were cut and for whose mill
they are intended. The cedar takes an
other mark of the same concern, or, II
they are to be sold to another firm, the
mark of the firm buying them. The
pulp logs take the mark of the pulp mill
company.
When the ice goes out in the spring
all the logs are rolled into the water to-
gether, to be driven to the sorting
booms, which are necessarily above the
first mill having logs in the drive. In
some cases the distance from the fegion
where the logs are cut to the sorting
room is from one hundred and fifty to
two hundred miless through crooked and
rocky streams, over falls and rips,
across lakes and down rivers.
The driving is done by crews employed
by a log driving association composed
of all the firms cutting lumber in the
region from which the lumber comes.

Tossed the gold and the scarlet high,
Gold and scarlet went drifting by.

Much we needed the leaf on the tree;
Twas hearts springtime to you and me.
The green bushes when we were married
White rose and the red rose carried,
When you drew ME your threshold DER,
Rose and white for orr wedding hoor.
Ochone, the days that are over!

Little we cared what the world might say
You and | on our wedding day.

You and | we are lovers ever;
Cheek to cheek and heart to heart,
Still true lovers that none can part.
Ochone, winter goes signing,
Love In a world Of care and dying;
All, forget that made you sad,
Yet remember | made you glad
The green bushes grow gray and vernal,
Spring comes back and Love is eternal;
In your arms come kiss, forgive me;
Had you ever the heart to grleye me,

The tendency of most doctrines is tc

as a certain little Memphis boy bears

The little fellow looked up at her In

has square neck and very wide shoulder
straps with long sleeves attached. This
calls for sleeves, but these fit closely
over the round of the shoulder. They
are often very like long mits and extend
we'll over the hand. A startling cut-out
shows deeply sloped line to which Is
given look of squareness by strapping
across the bare neck a pair of black vel
vet bands that help hold the bodice In

model seems at first glance mitigated
by the straps, but the reverse Is the
truth, as further consideration shows.
The artist puts here new square cut

over cream satin, the net run with wide
cream satin ribbon. Two of these went
over the shoulders. Net robes Of almost
barbaric splendor are worn over silk or
satin foundations in snowy evening
gowns. Black is the usual color for the
net, and, happily there is frequent
choice for black as the color of the
spangles with which the net is bespread
thickly. But now and then some auda-
cious beauty goes in for copper tints in
the spangles, uses them freely and adds
lace for enrichment. Then you have
the real thing in finery, sometimes in
gaudinesn, too. FLORETTE.

War and the Philippines.
"rhey are telling story out in Kan
sas," said the major, 'of a man who
had d dinner spoiled by a rebel bullet.
| Elliott Hook was cooking beefsteak
| at Caloocan when Mauser bullet hit
| the pan in which the steak was sizzling,
| knocked it about a rod and sprinkled
Hook with hok grease. The disappoint-
ed soldier Immediately loaded his rifle
and watched all day long to get a shot
at the rebels saying to his comrades, Il
went into this war at the call of my
country, but since that fellow spilled my
meat it has become personal matter
And he so regarded 1t until he sailed
away from Manila.
This story reminds me that soldiers
of this generation are not very different
from those who fought for the, Union
in the early 60s We had in our COM
pany a German, who enlisted as mat
ter of duty. He was a good soldier, but
he was not eager and enthusiastic, as
were many Of the other boys. At Stone
river he was struck by bullet that left
an ugly line across his head, but which
did not penetrate the skull. He dropped
as if dead and was left on the field. In
an hour or SO he became dimly con-
scious that rebel soldier was standing
guard over him. Before he could rea-
lie what had happened the rebel shout
ed at the wounded ankee to get up.
Mechanically the sergeant raised to
his feet, and while he was still dazed
the reb came to charge bayonets and
ordered his prisoner to double quick to
the rear. Taken by surprise, the SER

company-started, with the bayonct

FASHION NOTES.


The long sleeved evening gown is still
all right, but the elbow sleeve is consid-
cred better and the no-sleeve will be the
next step. The off-shoulder effect with
its classic variation Of three-strap
sleeve, the most becoming management
of sleeve ever invented is being dis
placed by the square cut-out. The
strap-sleeve of such a bodice comes well
on to the neck, above the round of the
shoulder. Often a gauze sleeve is at
tached to this, and often this is a sleeve
only on the under side Of the arm, being
slashed so that it is merely series of
points fastened together on top Of the
arm. Bodices of which lace is feature
have sleeves of the lace so arranged that
only the pointed edges Of the lace meet

The British Board of Trade Journal
says that in recent years nettle fibre
has come greatly into favor in the man
ufacture of fine yarns and tissues.
Many factories in Germany use these
fibres for spinning and other purposes.
Nettle fibre produces one of the finest
tissues obtainable from any known kind
of vegetable fibre. In view of the i'm
portance which this seems likely to at
tain In connection with the weaving in
dustries it is intended to introduce the
cultivation of nettles, if possible, into the

Should favorable results follow from
these experiments it is intended to or
ganize nettle growing enterprises on an
extensive scale.
