He was tapering off for want of wind,

pulled the wheels clear, and set off at

How a Truthful Coal shoveler Wasn't

In the mountains of Tennessee 4

shoveling coal upon a wooden sieve.

such curious thing, the old man re-
piled:

GREAT FoREsTs OF CORK.
Home Of the Evergreen Oak in Spain
80. $500 and Portuua h .5z.l y.

5s. ss., 8 ri and Portugal I'M IS
& The co1h Forests OF Spain cover an
area Of $40, 900 square miles, produc.
Ing the finest cork in the world. These
forests exist in groups and cover wide
belts Of territory, those in the region
OF Catalonia and part of Barcelona
being considered the first in import
ance. Although the cork forests OF
Estremadura and Andalusia yield cork
Of much quicker growth and pos
sess1ng some excellent qualities, its
consistency is less rigid, and on this
account it does not enjoy the high
reputation which the cork of Gaia,
lonia does.
. In Spain and Portugal, where the
cork tree, or Quercas suber, is in
digenOus, it attains to a height vary
ing from IS to 60 feet and the trunk
to diameter of 80 to SO inches. This
species of the evergreen oak is often
heavily caparisoned with widespread
ing branches, clothed with ovate OBJ
long evergreen leaves, downy under
meath and the leaves slightly serrated.
Annually, between April and May, it
produces flower of yellowish color,
succeeded by acorns. Over 10000
square miles in Portugal are devoted
to the cultivation of cork trees,
though the tree virtually abounds in
every part of the country.
The methods in vogue in barking
and harvesting the cork in Spain%and
Portugal are virtually the same The
barking operation is effected when
the tree has acquired sufficient
strength to withstand the rough hand
ling it receives during this operation,
which takes place when it has at
tanned the fifteenth year of it's growth.
After the first stripping the tree is
left in this juvenescent state to re-
generate, subsequent strippings being
effected at intervals of not less than
three years, and under this process
the tree will continue to thrive and
bear for upward Of $50 years.

II feel like hiring some one to

war, friend of the senator sent up q

senator gave me one 4 Wei, 4 IT. was

escape a savage lunge from his horns.
The doe took the fawn away into
the wood. The buck, however, stayed
right at the foot of the tree and
pranced and snorted around it at ev-
cry move Bowles made, keeping him
there until long after dark.
When he thought the buck had gone
away Bowles slipped down out of the
tree and started to put behind him
the three miles that lay between that
spot and home as quickly as his legs
would let him. He hadn't gone fifty
yards, though, before the buck was
after him. Dodging from tree to tree,
Bowles made his way along until a
man answered his cries for help. Then
the buck abandoned the chase.
The settler who went to Bowles'
rescue said the buck was a terror to
that neighborhood and known to the
hunters as Old Golden.
