Their 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, any
n unused to the ways of a lumber
camp. One of the hardest and most
dangerous, although it is the most adj
mlred, writes Charles G.. D. Roberts
IN Around the Campfire" is that
known as 'chopping him down"
This means, in a 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 axmen attack the tree
at its base. Long before he can reach
the ground the tree begins to topple.
AS a general rule the heavy branches
so break the fall of the tree that the
victim finds himself uninjured. There
are cases, however, where men have
been crippled for life.
ME- Roberts gives an experience of
his own which did not come out ex-
actly as the lumberman expected.
He had climbed into a 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 attentic H.
ne writes, "and climbed a few feet
farther up to ecu a position which

the tree should fall. AS l did so.

CHOPPING A MAN DOWN

perceived, with a gasp and tremor,
thai | was not alone in the tree.
There, not ten feet above me,
stretched at full length along a branch
was a huge panther. From the men
below his form was quite concealed.
Il 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 exposing
me in their reckless fooling.
"The great mass of foliage made the
fall a comparatively, slow one. Then
in an instant I found myself standing
in my place, Jared but unhurt.
The next instant there was another
roar, overwhelming the laughter o.
the woodsmen, and out of the pine
boughs shot the panther in a whirl
wind of fury. He turned half round
and greeted his enemies with one ter
rible snarl and then bounded off into
the forest at a pace which made it idlt
to pursue him.
"The men seemed almost to thinl
that 1 had conjured up the panthe'
for the occasion. l thanked then
most %fervently for coming to my res
cue with such whole-hearted goo'
will, and promised them that if eve
again I got into a tree with a panthe
would send for them at Once."-

How a Woman Was Freed from Troubles
That Had Made Life Wretched for
MANY Years.

The immediate causes of headaches
vary, but most of them come from poor
or poisoned blood. In anamia the blood
Is scanty or thin; the nerves are imper-
fectly nourished and pain is the way in
which they express their weakness. In
colds the blood absorbs poison from the
mucous surfaces, and the poison irritates
Akhe nerves and produces pain. In rheu-
EMatism, malaria and the grip, the poison

Indigestion the gases from the impure
matter kept in the system affect the
blood in the same way.
The ordinary he~adache-cures at best
give only temporary relief. They deaden
the pain but do not drive the poison out
of the blood. DIR. Williams Pink Pills
on the contrary thoroughly renew the
blood and the pain disappears perma-
nently. Women III particular have found
these pills an unfailing relief in head
4ssssahes caused by an@mia.

Theodore J. Shaffer Says Steel King

Pittsburg, June IA. - Theodore ].
Shaffer, the retiring head of the
Amalgamated Association of Iron,
Steel and Tin Workers, voluntarily
made the statement that Andrew Car
negie's actions during the great Home
stead strike of 1892 were in no way
inimical to the members of the union.
President Shaifer said: 81 have

to the Homestead strike, and find that
Andrew Carnegie is not mentioned in
any manner, as being antagonistic to
the members of the organization dur
ing the crucial period. In fact, Mr..

Mr.. Shaffer's statement was oc-
casioned by the recent opposition of
the laboring class to the acceptance
of his gifts.
"There should be no malice shown"
he said, "as Mr.. Carnegie has times
lnnumerable demonstrated friendship

The following abstract from the

one of the worst evils of modern child
life is very timely:
Refinement in matters Of social
life proceeds hand in hand with re-
finement in other lines as civilization
advances. From the standpoint Of the
physician and of the anthropologist,
1t is a question whether the physical
side of mankind is improving or de-
generating.

well-to-do, Is too often serious men

ment. Too much indoor life, too
much supervision, too little freedom
of motion ana will is undoubtedly the
cause Of the many weaklings seen in
the families of the wealthy. Such chill
dren have the characteristics OF hot
house plants.
The remedy is, of course, to do away
with the surplus care and attention
bestowed on the child, to let the child
do more for itself, have more free
dom, more fresh air, more play with
other children. Foods and medicines
are only temporary helps for child
weakness.

woman who, three years ago, while
visiting the slaughterhouse Of the Ar

was completely paralyzed on one side
as a result Of the shock produced by
the sight of the terrible tragedies
which are constantly being enacted in
that great killing establishment. This
victim Of slaughterhouse horrors Is
only one Of many thousands who meet
their death through the slaughter
houses every year. It may not be

A Centennial Celebration.

The people Of Fayette, Ohio, recent
Iy showed their appreciation Of the
favor conferred on them In having In
stheir community fine old lady who
has rounded out the full measure of
her hundred years. The centennial Of
Mrs. Amelia Dubois was celebrated
by hundreds of people who met to do
her honor. The public schools were
closed, that the children might join
in the celebration. In charge Of their
teachers, they marched to the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Dubois and escorted
them to the opera house, where an in
teresting program, In which many
prominent people Of the neighborhood
took part, was carried out.
One pleasing feature was the pres
entation by the children Of q quantity
of flowers the money for which had
been collected among themselves.
The interest shown In the occasion
by the people Of Fayette and surround
ing towns is evidence Of the high
esteem In which this remarkable old
lady Is held. Every faculty Of her
mind is alert and responsive, and her
brown eyes still retain their attract
i've sparkle. She is an accomplished
needlewoman, and still spends much
time In preparing dainty gifts for her
friends. Mr.. Dubois, to whom Mrs.
Dubois was married sixty-one years
ago, is no less remarkable than his
wife. The unusually healthy and ac-
tive old age Of this fine couple Is a
testimony to the value Of their simple,
natural, peaceful life Of activity. Com
menting upon this, the Fayette Review
says:
zones relation to the ALL are 80
