WILD MAN IN THE WOODS.
Startling Discovery Male by Two
Hunters in Michigan.

AuHbETS III
Adolph Meiser and John Slattery, two
young men from Crystal Falls, Mich,
who were hunting cartridges on the head
waters of the Deer river met what they
assert was wild man. His hair was
long and shaggy and long whiskers nearly
covered his face. The hunters got with
i'll thirty feet of the man before they saw
him or he them, and all We're surprised
when the stranger snarled at them
Meiser attempted to talk to him, but all
the response he could get was, Public
public" When Slattery and Meiser moy-
ed forward the stranger gave a terrible
yell and darted into the bushes. He ran
like a deer, bounding over the windfalls
and stumps The strange man was large,
but had become emaciated from exposure
and hunger. The clothes he had on were
in shreds, exposing his body to view. He
carried part Of gun barrel and a tent
pole in his hands and when found was
eating the carcass of a dead skunk. 1t is
thought that the man is some unfortunate
hunter who has been lost in the woods
and become insane from fright.

GOOD MANUFACTURING OUTLOOK.
Vigorous Prosecution of Constructive
Work Keeps Steel Mills Rusy.


Failure Of few oyer-cap itallzed IN
dustrial corporations to pay interest on
their stock is no criterion Of conditions ID
manufacturing, although an influence OF
some weight in the stock market. Reports
from all sections Of the country agree
that there has seldom, if ever, been such
vigorous ~prosecution of constructive
work. Widely divergent lines exhibit
similar symptoms. Labor is we'll en-
ployed at good wages, and the buying
power of the people is more than suti-
cient to meet the advance in the cost OF
living Of 4.6 per cent over prices prevail
ing a year ago. according to K. q. Dun
u Co.'S review of trade. Continuing, the
report says: 'Wholesome activity is stIll
the feature at iron furnaces and steel
mills. While old orders are filled as
rapidly as possible, there is no lmmedi-
ate prospect of catching up with con-
tracts, especially as each day brings new
business, with deliveries running far into
next year. Slightly better relative prices
have been established by the leading
cereals, wheat making a fair gain, while
corn lost little of its exceptional
strength. There is no evidence of holding
back for higher prices in western re-
ceipts. Failures for the week numbered
231 in the United States, against 232 last
year, and "a in Canada, against 81 last
year"
