the last Of the crew has gone down the river to Bangor, somebody must keep guard over the camp. the provisions left over and all the valuable outfit, to see that the property is not burned up or stolen by tramps or careless sports men, and for this purpose the proprie- tor hires one of those queer, happy-go- lucky characters always to be found in rtla border land between the wilderness and civilization. ... .....-s..
 These men have no homes or family Iconnections-at least none that they care much for-and they have consti- tutional aversion for real labor. They are good fishermen, good shots and good woods cooks; they drink liquor when they can get any, go without it all right when there is none handy; don't need. many clothes, and have no ambition to lay up wealth. All they
 want, in fact, is comfort, plenty to eat, plenty of tobacco, a chance to fish and hunt and-nothing whatever to do.
 This sort of existence is offered by the
 ''job" of camp keeper, and it is always easy to get a man to take the job.
 When the last logger has gone the
 keeper comes in and takes charge.
 He falls heir to all the dime novels, il-
 lustrated papers, old clothes and tobac- co that may be left behind. There is always enough flour, pork, molasses and tea in the camp to supply a dozen men for year, and the keeper has his choice of fifty hunks to sleep in. He has rifle, fishing rod, a big jacknife, E lots of clay pipes, thorough knowl- edge of the woods and complete and
 dreamy disregard of everything that goes on in the outside world. Often he
 doesn't know who is president, and, what is more. he doesn't care rap.
 There are people in the north woods
 who don't know that the Spanish war
 Is over, and, up along the Allegash, oth- ters who never heard that there was such a war The world is bigger than many persons realize-especial in the
 woods, where news penetrates slowly. In the first week after the crew has
 gone the keeper is very busy-over-
 worked, in fact, for he has to 'pick up'' the camp. set things in order and take a mental inventory of the stuff left over and at his disposal. Having completed
 this laborious task, he settles down for
 a rest of a few months, which rest is interrupted only by fishing trips or ex- cursions into the woods to look up places freduented by moose and deer,
 and to locate good gum trees. This
 Knowledge is useful to him in the fol- lowing fall and winter, for he can sell it
 to sportsmen. At the close of the sea- son he gets his fifty or one hundred dol lars all in a lump, and that will buy shim some clothes, a lot of tobacco and enough ammunition to last him until the next spring. Tn winter he rests from his exertions of the summer, and in spring he gets his job again.--New
 York Press.

NO. ENGINE HOUSE TRADE

 The motion was carried by a large majority that the report in favor of free text books be accepted.
 The next matter that came up was that of No. 2's. engine house. The ma jority report was signed by Aldermen Hotchkiss, Elliott and Sprightly. This was in favor of accepting the proposi- tion of the railroad to give the city a new lot and thirty-six thousand dollars for the present house and lot occupied by the engine company. Alderman Spreyer handed in a minority report re- commenting that the old house be sold outright and that the city buy its own lot. Unanimous consent for immediate consideration of the reports was re- fused and they were tabled for print ing. The offer of the road expires Sep tember first, and as the next meeting of the board is not until after that, an- other bargain will have to be made. The. reports might have been passed as an emergency measure by majority vote, but no one seemed to think of it, so the minority report virtually won.
