German cannot be induced to under take the cares of managing the cam paign and Judge Parker was informed by the Associated Press of the dis patch from Washington that he had re- iterated his declaration that some younger man should be chosen. Wm. F. Sheeban, who was the choice of many eastern leaders, was with Judge Parker at the time.
 He discussed briefly his own posi- tion making it plain that he has not
 allowed his name to be considered by firm in his refusal to serve as mana ger of the campaign. From his atti- tude, Sheehan can no longer be re- garded as a possibility. August Bel I mount also said that he will not ac-

Babes In the Wood.

Here is little tale that has come
down from the wild woods. where the
annual hunting season is now at its
height. An Augusta man was out after
game one morning and VIXEN in the
depths of the forest ran across two
young hunters from New York who
had lost their way. When the man ar
rived on the scene the two unfortu-
mates had their heads together and
were earnestly consulting a compass
which one of them held in his hand.
and as he approached them one came
forward and anxiously said. "Will you
please tell us. sir. If compass always
points toward camp" The man felt
like laughing. but he was touched with
pity at their helplessness. so he un-
dertook TO help them out of their pre-
dicament. and after making some in
quiries and hunting around bit he
was enabled TO set them on the right
track back to camp. where they would
have a chance to study up on the uses
and abuses Of that valuable little in
strument known as a compass Kenne-

VENEERING.
How the Wood Is Sawed or Sliced
For This Great Industry.


There is great deal Of so called
oak furniture sold nowadays" said an
indianapolis dealer. but Il large part
of il is veneered. This is particularly
true of parlor and ornamental furni-
ture. Coarse anu common furniture
may be made of solid oak. but fine fur
This is because much finer finish can
be got from quartered oak veneer than
from the solid wood The grain comes
out better. and it takes Il higher polish.
Where strength and durability are re-
quired the solid wood is used. but for
surfaces veneering is preferable.
Indianapolis is the largest veneer
manufacturing center in the world.
There are seven factories here. and
their combined output is nearly equal
to that of all the other factories in the
United States. One makes speciality
of quarter sawed white oak veneering
1t also makes walnut. red oak, syca-
more and maple veneer. but about %
per cent of its output is quartered oak.
The sycamore used To be regarded as
a comparatively worthless tree. but it
works up well in veneering and finds
many uses in the manufacture of fur
niture. 1t can be stained in imitation
OF cherry and other hard woods.
There are two kinds of veneering.
sawed and sliced. but IL takes an ex-
pert to tell the difference. The process
OF manufacture is simple and inter-
esting The logs. delivered ut the fac
tory in the rough. about thirteen feet
i'm length, are first cooked in hot wa
ter watts to make them soft and work
able. 1t does not matter how green
they are.
After being thoroughly cooked
they are placed on machines designed
for the purpose and either sliced by a
powerful knife the length of the log
or cut by circular saw into slabs
about one twentieth of an inch thick.
These slabs are the full length of the
log and when first cut are so pliable
that they can be bent double without
HC lilltklltSS Ut
thinness of the slabs is preserved by
the action of the machinery and does
not vary as much as hairs breadth
in the entire length of the slab. After
the slabs are sliced or sawed they are
seasoned by steaming. This requires
only about twentyfour hours. and then
they are ready for the market
Indianapolis veneering is sold all
over the United States and in Canada
1t is in great demand by car builders
and furniture manufacturers. especial
ly oak veneering, which is placed as a
finish OH softer and cheaper woods
Some of the huge oak logs which come
to the factories show by the rings in
them that the trees were from 80 10
400 years old. These monarchs of the
forest all come from Indiana. and the
period of their growth reaches far
back beyond the time when white men
