HOW TO BUILD A CAMPFIRE.
Useful Hints to Remember When You
Take Your Vacation.

For building a campfire the dryest
sticks are those that are dead and
have not yet fallen from living trees.
These dead limbs that cling here and
there on living trees are seasoned and
are OFF the ground. so that they do
not get soaking wet at any time, and
they dry quickly after rain. They
are hardly ever wet through. so that
no matter how wet the woods are you
can always get dry wood to start
fire, and then almost anything will
burn. There are ten thousand ways
to build campfire. | always build
small fire, and then keep 1t going
with dry wood for a while before |
get ready to do my cooking, so that
there will be good bunch of Goals
to cook over. Then | have a little
pile of dry sticks as large as lead
pencils somewhere within easy reach,
so that | can help my fire along II It
sulks at the wrong time. Then ! get
a couple OF green sticks as big as my
arm and put one on each side of the
fire. so 1t will stay in one place and
not waste the heat on all Sides

Greatest Law Suit On Record Be-
gun in Chicago Today. Penn
syIvania Railroad the De-
fsndant.

Chicago, Nov. 3o.-The largest suit
ever fled in any city in the world, In
volying haf billion dollars, began
today before Judge Kohlsaat, of the
United States Court, when the heirs
of AInon G.. Stewart and General Hart
Stewart began sn attemps to make
good claims against The Pennsylvania
Railroad. The heirs seek to recover
for use Of several miles of Stewart
avenue by the railroad company, and as
this is She principal entrance OF the
railroad to the city this action will be
bitterly fought. The property in dis
pute came to the original owners as
sgoyrenment land which they acquired
when Chicago was merely trading
post and the land in question was ten
miles or more from the centre of the
present city. The Stewart heirs gave
the property to the ciy, with the
restriction that should the land be
used for any bnt original purpose it
should revert to the heirs. The
PennsyKaaia Railway got the right OF
way and the heirs are nov suing.
President Roosevelt's family are
among the claimants.

REPORT OF SECRETARY HESTER.
Decrease Shown in Amount of
Spot Cotton Handled.

New Orleans, Nov. 30.-The apnua!
report of the board of directors and
Secretary Hester of the cotton ex-
change was made today. 1t shows q
business in "spots, - free on board
and "costs, freight and insurance
of 100000 bales. against l, 400, 0o(
bales last year and l. 300, 600 bales the
year before. In futures the transac-
tions more than doubled the large
business of 1902-1903, with New Or
leans holding its position in the front
rank of the great markets of the
world. Notwithstanding the decrease
in the receipts of cotton, due to les
sened production in territory tributary
to this market, New Orleans handled
over it's wharves %. 24 per cent. Of the
cotton crop of the United States,
against q. IS last year. Complaint is
made that the exchange is still ham
pered by lack of telegraph facilities to
D )ints in the cotton belt, although
remarkable results have been obtained
in the expeditions handling of mes
sages between New Orleans, and New
York and Liverpool.

COLUMBIA MERCHANTS
PLAN A Big TREAT.
Will Extend Their Out of Town
Trade by Special Theatre
Parties.

Columbia, Nov. 30.-At the annual
meetine of the Chamber of Commerce
the secretary Col. E. B. Clark, told
of efforts which are being made to run
in Columbia five or six special trains
during the winter. on which trains
passengers will come at the invitation
of8 Columbia merchants and will pay
no railroad fare.
The details of the plan have not
been completed but Mr.. Clark has
about perfected the plans, and some OF
the railroads have signifed her will
ingness to cooperate.
Under the laws of the passenger SER
vice association, railroads belonging
to that association cannot charter
trains Tor commercial purposes, except
for theatre parties. The arrangement
after being worked up will be enter
ed into by the merchants and Mana
ger Brown. Those merchants who
have been approached have assented to
the proposition.
The plan in general way is to pick
half dozen of the better attractions
which will be staged here during the
W1UGSI duQ eO IQu W SO2OAO1o q SAsAA
tered train on each of those days.
The first train will come over one
line, the train on the day of the next
attraction will come over another line,
and so on as long as the merchants
continue their support. :.
Each merchant who contributes will
be permitted to inpvite certain num-
ber of visitors from out of the city
according to the amount subscribed
by himself.
Each visitor viii be given certain
number of tickets at the theatre with
purchases Of certain amounts at the
stores OF the merchant subscribing tc
the fund. This will keep up the ma
ture, of the theatre train,
Othee plans have been suggested
but all have the same object in view
to get representative people out OF the
stats to come to Columbia on shop
ping trips and see the growing whole
sale quarter of the city. The details
are still in formu2ative state and
may be altered.
