carnation League Of America Makes
a Good Suggestion.

From Saturdays Daily

FROM saturdays DAILY.
''The Carnation League of America y
instituted as an annual memorial to
the late President William Mckinley and
dedicated to national patriotism, is a
fixed institution and insures a perennial
observance of January Goth, the anniver-
sary of his birth, as mckinley Day."
To wear the late Presidents favorite
flower, the carnation, in the lapel of the
coat, in the hair, or at the throat, in 81
lent memory of departed public SER
want, is what is contemplated by this
movement, in which the young and old
of both sexes can have part.
The custom was first observed on JAM
uary 20, 1903, with the greatest unani-
nifty throughout the country, and by
Americans all over the world. 1t is a
simple and inexpensive act and full of
patriotic sentiment. All through Mr..
McKinley's life, both public and private,
there ran distinct vein of sentiment,
and memorial of this sort is, there
fore, peculiarly appropriate to him. The
custom will undoubtedly be observed
the coming 10th day of January more
on the initial day, year ago. No ex-
pectation is had of giving the move
ment the Importance of local organiza-
lions or annual meetings and conven-
tions, but in quiet, unobtrusive way it
can be made to WELD an influence for
good almost incalculable and to foster
a spirit of true patriotism worthy of our
country and ,of the man whose memory
it is proud to honor.

times strongly with a sledge hammer.
On the face of the hammer in relief
was an NJ inside of delta. This was

was branded as belonging to them. He
swarmed over the skidway, rapid and
absorbed, in strange activity to the

In a moment he moved on to the next

said word to any Of the men.

stick Of timber rested in long loop,
one end of which led to the invisible
horse, and the other Jim made fast to
the top of the pile. He did so by JAM

hook with which the chain was armed.
When all was made fast the horse
started.
"She's bumper" said Bob. Look
out, Mixer
The log slid to the foot of the two
parallel poles laid slanting up the face
of the pile. Then it trembled on the
ascent. But one end stuck for an in
slant. and at once the log took on a
dangerous slant. Quick as light Bob
and Mike sprang forward, gripped the
hooks of the cant hooks like great
thumbs and forefngers, and, while one

At the top of the little incline the
timber lowered for second.

hairbreadth being crushed when the
log rolled. But it did not lie quite

heavy timber sufficiently to admit of
the billet's insertion.
Then the chain was thrown down for

Jenny, harnessed only to short,
straight bar with hook in it, leaned
to her collar and dug her hoofs at the
word of command. The driver, close
to her tail, held fast the slender steel
chain of an ingenious hitch about the
ever useful swamp hook. When Jim
shouted "Whoav' from the top Of the

stop the horse; he merely let go the
hook. So the power was shut off sud-
