mint" he trees or can draw a bead on.
At an age when the city darling has his
curls cut, the heir to the tieman has at

the woodpile heaped up. At ten he is an
adept in woodcraft. At 16 he is a nan in

An expert a average Is ties a day
where the timber is choice. Where it
has already been picked wei the output
is less. In poor ground, that is where
considerable cutting has been done. a
tieman may cut down half a dozen trees
or more and find only two or three per-
feet ties, the result of a days work. The
most experienced tieman never becomes
strictly accurate in his judgment of the
quality of a tree. When he cuts it down
perhaps he finds a flaw at the heart or
the grain so twisted it is impossible to
work it out.

FACTS ABOUT TWINS.

We have all heard of the twins who
the result that one was bathed twice,
got all the medicine and thrashings
intended for his brother, and later on
in life finished up by marrying the
young lady whom the other had court
ed-and she didn't know the differ
ence. Not long ago the American po-
lice got into trouble by arresting the
wrong man. He protested his inno-
cence, but they were quite convinced
that they were in the right, until his
twin brother appeared on the scene.
aud then they were bound to acknowl-
edge that they had made a mistake.
The history of the past furnishes us
with many similar instances. says
Golden Penny. A sixteenth cen

their own parents, had the greatest
difficulty in. distinguishing one from
the other, and, unfortunately for the
twins, the likeness did not stop there.
If one had the toothache the other had
it, too; if one developed a headache,
so did the other; in fact. no matter
how one became i'll, the sympathetic
brother was soon similarly afflicted.
Should one feel sad, the other could
not be lively, and ever if one went to

makers for delivery to a contractor for
some railroad company, mas the best
of it. 1t is generally allowed he makes
about all there Is in the business. The
"tie jugglers," who do the work, get
a bare living.
The tie agent is usually a man with
money who conducts a general store
in the tie country, and the maker, rafter,
or putter-out is invariably dependent
on the storekeeping agent for the neces-
saries of life. The Injuries he is una
ware of. 1t may be said the tieman is the
dependent of the tie agent, for out OF
the industry has arisen a system of vas
happy-go-lucky being, who is careless
of his social condition.
The trade with the tieman is a species
of barter in which the ties represent a
primitive currency. The agent makes
a double profit, one on the goods he
barriers for ties and one on the transfer
of the ties to the railroad company. In
this way he wakes rich, while the siren
uous tiemen pursue the even tenor of a
way that is invariably behind.
1t is an Ozark axiom that no one has
ever seen a dead mule or a rich tie
maker. The tie juggler who has laid
by money in his occupation is yet to be
found. Indeed, it is generally conceded
That followers of this species of wood
craft experience financial retrogression.
MANY have begun tie making with a
stake in the shape of a patch, wagon and
team and other accessories of fortune
and wound up a career of tie making
~patchless, teamless, w~agonless and pen
niless.
for the most part, the tieman has no
permanent home, but lives in one of
those architectural makeshifts, a shack
or rough logs, in which glazed windows
are not considered an actual necessity.
In these shacks there is rarely more
n n room, and with this scant ac-
commodation the patriotic tieman
raises a large family. 1t is not necessary

ONE of the religious journals had a
~ cartoon in a recent issue showing
a father seated with the family Bible
open upon his knee. The wife at his side
was listening to the evening prayers of
the two little ones who were bowed at
her knee, one on either side. The Word
of God has just been read and the
prayers are being said before the chill
dren are put to bed. Upon the outside
of that God-fearing, Bible-reading home,
ID the darkness Of the night, the re-
treating form of the Devil is seen. His
head is turned that he may watch the
scene within that home, but his feet lead
away from the home where he had
hoped to find entrance. Fear and hate
and disappointment play upon his
hideous face, for the open Bible has
scored a point against him. He is as
afraid of the ~unsheathed Sword of the
Spirit as much as the soldier of the
middle ages dreaded the keen Damas-
