REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

From the New York Press.
A girl generally has an idea her hair
would be nice and fluffy If she lived in
a different climate.
Even after she is married a girl goes
around from force of habit, expecting the
Fairy Prince to come and claim her.
A girl who knows enough to marry a
rich man who is old knows enough to
have long hist of young fellows standing
in line.
A woman's idea of arguing things is to
say that having the window up little
bit will give her as much of cold as
having 1t all the way up and then pulling
1t all the way up to prove 1t.

IF some scheme could only be DEVISED
said he. "by which the sunken logs that
fill the beds of rivers and creeks in the
logging sections of this country could be
recovered, immense fortunes could be
made. Along the ST. Croix waters it Is
estimated that logs enough are imbedded
in the sand of river bottoms to keep mills
running for years. Under present condi-
tons the loss Is total, for no successful
method has ever been devised to effect
this saving.
Occasionally logs cut years ago are
forced by washings of floods from their
sand beds and driven upon the shores,
where the action of sun and wind dries
them out sufficiently so that they will
float downstream, but the percentage of
logs recovered is small and millions of
dollars worth of property is lost beyond
recovery until some enterprisng genius
invents a machine or process to recover
the timber.
AT saltwater logs occasionally come to
the sorting booms bearing marks in use
