ANDREW A SPIRITED YOUTH
Tells schoolteacher, Who INTERRUPTED
His Figuring, to Hold His
Mouth for Minute.

A broker sneered at the recent
story of Andrew Carnegie's repu
ted declaration that his epitaph
was to be "That's white of
Andy"
"Mr. Carnegie is a wise man, not
a fool" said the broker. at is
true that he has done in his time
odd and remarkable things. All
those things, though, had a wise
purpose behind them. The pur.
pose Of such an epitaph as That's
white of Andy could only be to
evoke ridicule.
"Ionce visited Dunfermline, Mr..
Carnegie's birthplace. They told
me there a story about him that
illustrated the %tenacity and per.
severance of his childhood-his
bulldog determination to ride
down every obstacle and reach
his end.
at seems that at the little Dun.
9ermline school the master called
Andrew up one day and asked him
how much seven times nine was.
"The boy, unable to hit the an.
Iswer Immediately, began to 90
over the entire table:
"'Twice nine is eighteen, thrice
nine is twenty-seven, four times
nine is thirty-six, five
"But the master interrupted,
impatiently.
"'No, no. he said. Give me the
answer straight off,
"After some thought the boy
began again:
"Twice nine is eighteen, thrice
nine is twenty-seven, four times
"'No. Straight off, repeated
the master.
"'Haud yer COB, man. the boy
cried, passionately. we've spoilt
me twice, an do ye want to spoil
me a third timer"

cENTURY'5 LUMBER SUPPLY
Almost Inexhaustible Amount Of
Timber Is to Be Found in
Western Forests.

The lumber camps in the tim
Der region of the Pacific are all Of
obviously temporary character,
says P%earson's Magazine. The
buildings, consisting of a mess
house, or dining-room, bunk
house, or sleeping quarters, shops,
stables, etc, are all of rough con.
struction. The work is as ardu-
GUS as in any lumber camps in the
world and the woOdsmen are
splendid physical types. A long
working day is the rule in the
in the woods. The cooks and their
assistants begin the preparation
of breakfast about three o'clock
in the morning and by daylight
the crews are on their way to the
woods, where they labor with
scant respite until daylight has
faded into dusk.
In speaking of the recent mar
velous expansion of the lumber
industry of the Pacific coast, it
will not do to pass over the devel.
opment of the market, and par
ticularly the foreign market for
these products. Last year nearly
$5,500,000 worth of timber was
shipped from Puget Sound to
Great Britain alone, and heavy
shipments went to Mexico, Cen.
trail and South America, Ger
many, Spain, France, Holland,
Cuba, Belgium and China.
Yet only a small fraction of the
total product of these forests is
sold abroad; at present the bulk
of this timber harvest is disposed
of in the prairie states Of our mid
die west; but as lumber resources
in other parts Of the country are
exhausted, the entire nation will
come to depend more and more
upon this marvellous western will
derness. Apparently there is no
immediate need for fear Of a lum-
Der famine, since government Of.
6cials estimate that this, the
greatest Of natures woodland
storehouses, contains a supply
sufficient for more than a century,
at the present rate of cut.

NAN WAS A BLIND LEADER
Sightless One Asks Lady If BE May
Cross Street with Her, She As
sents-The Result.

A handsomely dressed woman
stood hesitatingly on the cutter
edge of the sidewalk, watching
keenly for a chance to penetrate
the maze of vehicles which surged
between her and the opposite
side of the street, says Lippin-
colts Magazine.
AS she awaited her chance a
very g|entlemanly voice at her ell
bow inquired with Raleigh-like
gallantry:
May l cross the street with
you, MADAME"
With joyous gratitude she muir
INJURED her acceptance. Her es-
cort grasped her firmly by the
arm, and together they plunged
boldly into the wild vortex of We
hicles.
In and out they treaded their
way at peril to life and limb. 1t
speedily became apparent to the
woman and to several onlookers
that the lives of the two venture
some pedestrians were in consid-
erably more than common danger.
The man clearly made no effort of
any sort to avoid cars. He lodged
wildly about, regardless of the di-
rectiOn from which that partic-
ular moments peril might be com
ing, almost fell under a horses
hoofs and twice caromed off the
yellow sides Of hurrying trolley
cars.
He dragged his panic-stricken
companion with him, making no
attempt to shield her or to guide
her steps. In vain the frightened
woman stroye to shake off his grip
c@3 TO find her Independent way
10 the sidewalk. There was no
freeing herself from that iron
grasp.
Finally, by some miracle, the
opposite curb was reached. Furi.
Gus, the woman turned a with
ering gaze on her false guide and
fairly Kissed out the words,
at is no thanks to you that
we're not both run over! From
the way you ran into danger one
would think you were blind"
Il am" meekly confessed the
man; chat was why l asked if yon
would let me cross the street
with you"
