One of the Harshest Practical Jokes
PLAYED in Lumber camns

One Of the Harshest Practical Jokes
Played in Lumber Camps.
There is nothing that SO cheers the
heart of the lumberman as to play a
practical joke on one whom he calls
a ''greenhorn,' or, in other words, anv
one unused to the ways OF lumber
camp. One of the harshest and most
dangerous. although il is the most adj
mired, writes Mr.. Charles G. d. Rob-
erts in "Around the Camp Fire" is
That known as 'chopping him down. .
This means, IN word, that the
stranger in camp is invited TO climb a
tall tree to take observations or enjoy
a remarkable view. No sooner has
he reached the top than two or three
vigorous axemen attack the tree at us
base. Long before he can reach the
ground the tree begins to topple. AS
general rule the heavy branches so
break the fall of the tree that the VIC
tim finds himself uninjured. There
are cases, however, where men nave
been crippled for life.
~ Roberts gives an experience Of
his own which did not come out ex
actly as the lumberman expected. He
had climbed into magnificent pine
tree one day. No sooner was he two
thirds up the tree than the lumbermen
set to work to chop him down"
Il thanked them for their atten-
tion," he writes, and climbed few
feet farther up, to secure a position
which saw would be safe one for
me, when the tree should fall. AS

tremor, tina. ! was not alone in the

II laughed to myself as | thought
how my tormentors would be taken
aback when that panther should come
down among them. I decided that
there would be no more danger to
them than that to which they were ex.
posing me in their reckless fooling.

the fall comparatively slow one.

Andrew Jackson, Duel,

At the close Of the Revolutionary
War Andrew Jackson went to Burke
county. North Carolina, and applied
to Waightstill Avery to take him as
a boarder at his country home and in
struct HIN as law student. Colonel
Avery told him he had just moved to
the place and had built nothing but
cabins. and could not grant his re.
quest. jackson went TO Salisbury,
studied law there and settled at Jones'
boro. until the new county of Davidson
with Nashville as the county seaO
was established, Nashville becoming
subsequently the capital of Tennessee.
Several years later Avery appeared
In a lawsuit at Jonesboro as opposing
counsel to Jackson, and ridiculed the
position taken by Jackson, VINO had
preceded him in the argument. Jack
son considered the argument insulting
and sent him the challenge. Colonel
Avery was raised a Puritan. He grad
uated at Princeton with the highest
honors in 1866. and remained there
year as tutor. under the celebrat-
ed Jonathan Edwards and the famous
DR.. Witherspoon, who signed the
Declaration of independence as a rep.
resentative of New Jersey. Avery
was Presbyterian, and was opposed
on principle to duelling, but he SO far
yielded to the inperious custom of the
time as to accept the challange and
go to the field, with Colonel (after.
ward Governor) Adair, OF Kentucky,
as his second. After the usual prelim.
inaries he allowed Jackson to shoot
at him, but did not return the fire.
Thereupon, having shown that he was
not afraid to be shot at, Avery walked
up to young Jackson and delivered a
lecture to him, very much in the style
father would use in lecturing son.
Avery was very calm, and mis- talk
to the brave young man who had fired
at him was full OF good sense, dis
passionate and high in tone. and was
heard with great attention by the sec
onds Of both parties, who agreed that
the trouble must go no further.-Har.
