Duluth, Mimi, Dec. 15-Figures Of the cut
at the head-of- the lake mills have been made as
follows: Gut of the year, to the close of nav1-
CATION, 275,00O,Oo0 feet; on docks, tt, 900
feet, Of which 10000 900 feet is unsold and 49,
figures compare with cut the previous year
100, OON 600 feet larger a total on docks of 3d.
600, 600 feet more, of which there were 4S,ooo'-
900 feet unsold and ST 900, 600 feet sold.
There may be some discussion as to the figures
Of unsold lumber docks now, for there are
figures going the rounds that differ materially
from these, in that they are q, 900. 600 feet
higher. But the various docks on which lumber
is unsold as follows Split Rock Lumber
company, 100000 feet; Minnesota Land 4
Construction company, 100000 feet; Ed Hines
land this is scarcely to be classed in the unsold
lists, 5000, 900 feet; Leisure Lumber company
and at Scott-Graff mill, 2,500,o00 feet each,
making in all q 100000 feet. A liberal estl-
mate would be 30, 600, 900 feet.
The Hines docks have actually placed all their
stock except few odd lots. In this estimate
no mention is made of the Red Cliff Lumber
company, which has about 20,0O0,OOO feet on
dock but it is in the and manufacturing
trade and is buying much lumber as It sells,
and it's stock should not be classed as unsold.
In addition to the amount of lumber shipped
from Duluth mills, 30, 000. 600 feet for the sea-
son Of navigation there were 123, 200, 900 feet
81, 900, 900 feet more were shipped from Two
Harbors, from mills at Ely. Tower and few
interior points in this district. All this makes
shipments from the head Of the lakes, Duluth
customs district Of 400, 900 feet during the
seven or eight months Of navigation. This IL
probably far larger amount than has beer
handled at any point of shipment.

opened by a colored woman who had a
Jolly round face and a large smile.

she.

Dana's papa laughed heartily as he
saw them coming. for Weary was so
afraid that he was going to lose Dana
that he stepped on her heels at almost
every step, and every time Dana felt
his little feet against her she had to
stoop and pat his head and assure him
that she would never give him up.

''Oh. papa" said Dana. he Is the
cleYerest little dog in the world. 1 want

Dana's eyes because she could think of
nothing else to say in favor Of poor
Weary
All Weary could do was to wag that
short little tail that he carried so
straight W in the air and plead his
cause with his mellow eyes. His fate
was really very doubtful
But, my dear Dana" said papa,
what should we do with a dog? Be

He got no further. Just then a big
fat rat that had been stealing grain
in the stable for a year or more, and
which had become very bold. jumped
down from the feed box and ran across
the floor. You see, Mr.. Rat didn't know
that Weary was just longing for a
chance to show that he would be worth
keeping, and that is why Mr.. Rat fall
ed to keep his tryst with a number Of
other rats in the feed box that night.
Weary was on him with a pounce
He wouldn't have missed the rat for
anything. Mr.. Rat fought and bit. but
Weary shook him and tossed him in the
air. Then Mr.. Rat lay quite still, for
he was no more.

Dana was so happy she began to cry
and Weary cried too out Of sympathy,
that sympathy and love expressed either

A BOYS CURIOSITY.

I an old story be true. the curiosity
of a little boy led to the invention
of the telescope. that remarkable
glass which reveals the wonders of the
heavens to our eyes. l suppose we all
know that Calico first constructed and
used telescope for scientific purposes,
but some one else first conceived the
idea Of one. Now. here is a story which
think interesting enough 70 tell you
Many years ago there lived in far
away Holland an optician. He had three
children. all OF whom loved TO play
about and watch him as he sat at his
bench working. His little boy, espe-
cinily, thought il great fun TO look
through the glasses his father used
in his work Many of them had such
odd shapes, and often as he held them
up to the sun he could make lovely rain
bows on the floor and walls IL cnanced
one memorable day that he had taken
two glasses. and, standing in the street
just outside the shop, he held both
TO his eyes at the same time All at
once IL seemed that the face Of the
great clock, which he knew to be sew
eral blocks away. was right before him
For a moment ne was frightened How
had the clock come so near he Won
