A Career Ending Joke.

:. This is true story about one of the
mayors of Kansas City. He was mayor
Gwhen the incident occurred, not SO very
manysyears ago. Two newspaper'men,
both very good friends of the mayor,
were about to leave town, and they
asked Mr.. Mayor to help them cele-
brate their departure.
1t was hot day in summer and aft
er an hour or two of convivial indul-
gence the mayor of Kansas City was
very much under the influence of liq-
uOr. The newspaper men were feeling
jovial, but they were still able to walk
around. 1t finally became necessary to
do something for the mayor. Seeing a
fruit wagon pass, one of the newspaper
men ran out and hailed the driver.
When he drew up to the curb, he was
asked whether or not he wanted to
make So. He replied that he most GER
tainly did.
F. It was then explained to him that q
drunken man would be stretched out in
his wagon, face toward the sky, and
that he must drive through all the bust
ness streets of the town and then take
the man home.
Not knowing who his passenger was
to be, the driver consented, and the
joke was carried out to the letter.
Through the streets of Kansas City the
mayor of the town, stretched out on an
open wagon asleep, was driven, and
there was a placard that announced the
cause of the strange plight fastened
on the back of the wagon. The mayor
was not e-elected.-Chicago Chronicle.

work in the pumping house drawing
off oil from the burning tanks. The
flames shot high in the air and the
pumping house was almost complete
~ demolished. The firemen who had
been playing streams on the other
tanks then directed their attention to
the rescue of the men who had been
imprisoned in the pumping house. 1t
was nearly an hour before the men
could be reached. Meanwhile a score
of streams of water were pouring upon
the ruins of the pumping house. The
prCmptness with which the tiremcn
turned their attention to the rescue of
the men undoubtedly saved a score Of
lives.
AS quickly as the men were rescued
from the ruins they were sent to the
hospitals in the lower section of the
city. Five bodies were recovered and
sent to the morgue, but only three of
them could be identified. Two bodies
were roasted to a crisp, and so black
ened that it was almost impossible to
tell whether they were those of white
or colored men.
None of the seventeen injured men
taken to the hospitals is seriously in
jured. They were suffering chiefly
from burns and bruises and after hav-
ing their wounds dressed nearly all
were able to leave the hospitals.

Victoria, +. O., Aug. 2O.-Ihe steam

company, was wrecked Thursday last
at a. m. by striking an iceberg off
Douglas island and siXty-fve were
drowned. An extra of the Juneau De-

'"The Flossie arrived in from the
scene Of wreck at II o'clock, with her
flag at half-m and six dead bodies

gers. The description Of the disaster
by the survivors is heart-rending. They
say that the Islander struck an ice
berg, and so severe was the shock that
every door was jammed fast in the
staterooms and the Inflated passen-
gers, numbering 107, and the crew of
seventy-one were forced to break
through the windows to reach the
deck. Steward Simpson lost ten in his
department, and his description of the
wreck is clearly given. He was awak

He reached the bridge, where the pl

ported the pumps unable to take care
of the water. He also went below

stateroom doors, and stayed at this
work until the water forced him to go
to the upper deck.
''By this time the ships boats were
loaded and had got away and while
the officers were getting out the last
life raft Captain FOOte called to all
hands to clear the ship, as she was
about to go down. This was the cap
tain's last order, as at that moment
the ship sunk, and the captain, leap

OUR LUMBER TRADE.
to Immense .ortiOns, Espe-
cially Our oreign Trade.

THE Lumber Trade of the United
States" is the title of monograph just
issued by the treasury bureau of sta
tistics. The lumber industry and
trade, it finds, has within quite recent
years changed from a small scale of
production to one in which machinery,
u large outlay of capital and far
sighted policy of development of prop
critics are becoming controlling factors.
This change is due partly to the growth
of domestic demand and partly to the
fear of prematurely exhausting our
timber resources. The existence of
surplus capital looking for new fields
OF Investment has had tendency to
eliminate the small-scale lumberman;
and the policy of European states in
rigldly limiting the annual cut of lum-
Der to something like the rate of in
crease in the growth of forest has
forced European understanding
interests to come to the United States
and Canada, especially for hard woods
and lumber for building purposes. AS
result, the foreign lumber trade of
the United States has grown enormous
~. Within quite recent years it has de-
veloped from a local to worldwide
commercial movement.
In the foreign trade, the Atlantic
ports, the gulf ports and those on the
Northern Pacific coast have shared
most literally. More lumber is now be-
ing shipped from these ports and from
the country as a whole than at any
previous time in the history of the
country. The total exports of timber,
lumber and manufactured wood for
the fiscal year ended June 80, 1900,
amounted to $5O,50S.416. Imports of
corresponding products. however,
amounted to $780, ,90S, showing bal
ance of almost exactly $30,000,O00 of
exports of this class over imports.
About half of these imports come from
Canada, consisting mainly of planks,
boards, logs and shingles as the four
principal items. Another principal fea-
ture in our timber imports is the tropi-
cal timber, including Cuban mahogany
and cedar, Mexican mahogany and
cedar, and mahogany from Central and
South America and Africa,

GET BIG GAME PRESERVE.
Mayor Harrison and other Chicago
Men Buy Tract of Indiana
Marshes.

Carter ii. Harrison, mayor of Chi
cago, and a party of SO representative
men of that city, including Charles
S. Dennis, Hampstead Washburne,
Rollo Organ and William Haskell,
have closed deal with Brown Bros,
OF this city, writes the Crown Point
Qnd.) correspondent of the Chicago
Inter Ocean, in which they come into
control of 10000 acres of marsh land
on the Kankakee river, south of
Crown Point, which they will use as
game preserve, which will be the
largest in the United States.
They have leased the big morass
for term of Is years, and will at
once commence the erection of cost
ly clubhouse and stock the marsh
with all kinds of game, besides the
duck and geese which habitate the
place each spring and fall. This deal
practically places the duck-hunting
in this well-known game marsh in a
trust and is absolutely controlled by
Chicagoans, the residents Of Indiana
having been frozen out entirely, as
the land along the Kankakee river has
all been leased.
The Macsawba club ground COM
mences south of South Bend, the Eng
fish Lake Gun club then follows for
miles and the Diana club and the new
one just formed takes up the balance
of the land, and in each case no
poachers are allowed in the Calumet
marsh. The Tolleston club, of Chi
cago, has monopoly on that terri
tory. An effort is being made
throughout the state to legislate the
hunters out of the state.
