been all 4prearranged. Immediately
above the first rollways was Dam
Three, with Its two wide sluices
through which a veritab]e flood could
be loosened at will: then four miles far
ther lay the rollway Of Sadler & Smith,
the up river firm, and above them tum-
bled over a forty-6ve foot ledge the
beautiful Siscoe falls. These first roll
ways of Thorpe's, spread in the broad
marsh fat below the dam, contained
about 100000. The rest of the sea-
sons cut was scattered for thirty miles
along the bed Of the river.
Already the ice cementing the logs
together had begun to weaken. The ice
had wrenched and tugged savagely at
the locked timbers until they had. with
a mighty effort, snapped asunder the
bonds Of their Information. Now mar
row lane Of black rushing water
pierced the rollways to boil and eddy in
the consequent jam three miles below.
To the foremen Thorpe assigned their
tasks.
'Moloney," said he to the big Irish
man, take your crew and break that
jam. Then scatter your men down to
within mile Of the pond at Dam Two
and see that the river runs clear. You
can tent for a day or 80 at West Bend
or some other point about half way

Bryan Moloney turned on his heel
and began to pick his way down
stream over the solidly banked logs.
Without waiting the command dozen
men followed him. The little group
bobbed away irregularly into the dis
tance, springing lightly from one tim
ber to the other, holding their quantity
fashioned peaveys in the manner of a
ropedancer's balancing pole. At the
lowermost limit of the rollways each
man pried a log into the water and,
standing gracefully erect on this un-
stable craft, 1oated out down the cur
rent to the scene Of his dangerous la
Dor.
"Kerlie," went on Thorpe, "your
crew can break rollways with the rest
until we get the river fairly filed, and
then you can move on down stream as
fast as you are needed. scotty, you
will have the rear. Tim and will
boss the river."s
At once the signal was given to El-
hs, the dam watcher. Ellis and his
assistants thereupon began to pry with
long iron bars at the ratchets of the
heavy gates. The chore boy bent at
tentfvely over the ratchet pin, lifting
1t delicately to permit another inch of
raise, dropping it accurately to enable
the men at the bars to seize q fresh
purchase. The rivers roar deepened.

Bryan Moloney and his crew were
picking at the jam, the water in eager
streamlets sought the 1nterstices be-

The jam creaked and groaned in re-

Emergency Medicines.

1t is a great convenience to have

in Cases OF accident and for slight
injuries and ailments. A good lin
iment and one that is fact becom.
ing a favorite if not household ne.
cessity is Chamberlain's Pain
Balm. By applying it promptly
to a cut, bruise or burn it allays the
pain and causes the injury to heal
in about one-third the time usually
required, and as it is antiseptic it
prevents any danger of blood pois-
oning. When Pain Balm il kept

fore inflammation sets in, which in

"The Jerusalem Cruise"

- AAo~s
Mrs. Swain entertained an unus.
ually large and appreciative audi
ience at the Congregational church
Monday evening. when she de-
livered her lecture entitled, "The
Jerusalem Cruise" " being narrative
Of the observations Of the speaker
while she attended as a delegate
the Worlds Sunday-school conven-
tion which convened there last
spring. Mrs. Swain's lecture was
interspersed with numerous strange
and amusing descriptions of the
people she met, their customs and
manner Of living, which were GER
tsinly . revelation to her hearers.
Mrs. Swain sailed on the Kur-
furst Grosser, which touched first
ct Madeira islands, where she was
impressed with their natural beauty
and the wonderful vegetable
growths. The islands are inhabited
mostly by Spanish people, although
there is an admixture of many
othe. sstionalities.
The next landing was made at
Constantinople, and although the
famous city looks very beautiful
ct . distance, il is no less entitled
TO celebrity for its extreme filth
iness. Dogs there are thought to
be sacred animals, the streets fairly
swarm with them, and woe to
tho unlucky individual who hap
pens to tread upon one. He is liable
to sudden punishment by the people.
On arriving at Jerusalem, she
found it to be very much
- the Bible describes it. The
people have the same manner of
dress, the same mode of speech,
and almost the same customs in
vogue there two thousand years
ego.
She made the statement that
one-fourth Of the people Of Palestine
were afflicted With blindness, caused
bv lack of care in infancy, and
that marriage occurs frequently at
the tender age of nine and ten
years. The chief food Of the poorer
classes is coarse wheat bread, being
ground to -four by hand. Many
Of the people live in dugouts in the
hillsides; others live in little one
room houess builtrof stone.
The convention was held in
Jerusalem and the sessions lasted
several days, the average number
Of attendants being about fifteen
thousand. Delegates from eighty
different countries and islands were
there, each delegate wearing the
peculiar costume of his own coun-
try, the whole resulting in a very
odd picture.
The trip to the Holy Land, Mrs.
Swain said, was the greatest event
in her life, and one never to be for
gotten.
