feet steer had been sold for so cents q

Killed the Deer.

A tame deer belonging to an 1tasca
county homesteader who lives about
twenty-five miles east of Blackduck
was driven by wolves from the yard
where it usually stayed to the dense
woods surrounding, the cabin of the
homesteader and it is supposed that
the animal was devoured by the hungry
beasts, as it has not returned to the
cabin. The wolves entered the yard
late in the afternoon and the pack was
composed of about twenty: After sur
rounding the deer they attacked it,
forcing it to leave the yard and run to
the woods, the beasts running after it
at the top of their speed.

Young began his career on the. Pacifc

have been one Of the fastest runners that
the world has ever known. From the
cinder path he drifted to the race track,
and his luck from the beginning was
phenominal.
Her Fatal Beauty. s%t
Nan Patterson's beauty has been the
cause of other troubles in which lives
have been forfeited. An actor in another
who had proposed to her became insane
over her refusal and committed suicide
in her presence. Another admirer of
hers killed himself on the coast. ~
Nan Patterson remained in the west
with Young until last spring. They Wis
tied the tracks at Los Angeles Oakland
and other prominent racing centers on
the coast, and returned east in March
for the first time since their meeting.

It was on the morning that he was
about to leave, on Saturday, June 4

Hazleton was the most important witt

Story with a Moral.
| This, in brief, is the story of the life
of Nan Patterson, or that part of it that
had an ultimate bearing on the death
of Caesar Young, and the trial that has
been three times nine-days' talk in
| New York and probably throughout the
country.
Little did she suspect when she EN-.
barked upon her theatrical career and
her life of pleasure and gaiety Of the trag-
ic ending and the accompanying sorrow
and pain in store for her, or she would

She was an uncommonly beautiful child
and the praise called forth by her good
looks, as she grew older, turned her
thoughts in directions wholly opposed
to that intended for her by her parents
and before she was many years in hel
teens she went to New York and tOb.
tanned place in the chorus. ~.
Stage life caused her to forget the re-
ligious training she had received. The
glitter of the spangles and the gay life
of the actor folk appealed to her, and she
decided to become great actress.
Surely there was nothing harmful
behind the footlights, she thought.
Fine clothes and good time' were
to her liking. =.
She was handsome in face and form
and it was not long before young scions
of wealthy families and elderly men OF
means who haunt the ''bald head row
began to haunt the stage door and make
her acquaintance.
The flowers and champagne suppers
they furnished were also not amiss.
Jewels and gems were showered on her
and more than one, smitten with her
; beauty, laid their hearts at her feet
and begged her hand in marriage.
But she refused them all, and finally
married young man in the profession
named Martin.
Her Meeting with Young.
The combining bonds of matrimony
were evidently not to her liking, and
when "Floradora,' musical comedy
which had gained; great popularity in
London mainly through the famous
sextette, was imported, she applied for
and obtained a position in the front row.
The company was organized to tour
the country, and was to extend to the
Pacific coast. This gave her an oppor-
tunity to visit California, something she
had always longed for. =. 49, 81, -. L
It was on this trip that she met Young,
whose tragic death has caused her so
much misery and sorrow. 80 81
Young was a prominent and success
full horseman and bookmaker. He had
horses running on nearly all OF the prom
inent tracks of the country, and was re-

Lumber Grades.

A subject of increasing Importance
to every lumber producer and consum-
er is that of grades. That these grades
should be uniform where practical is
we'll recognized and many effor is to
arrive at some general rules have been
made. In view of these movements to
standardize grades, the Forest Service
has undertaken to bring together the
specifications of the various lumber
and manufacturers associations and to
put them in such form that they may
be compared.
The subject of the study is not to de-
wise system of standard grades but to
make, simply, such a compilation of
the grades now in use as will be of SER
vice to lumber producers and con-
sumers, though it is hoped that great
deal of information may be accumu-
lated that will be of value in eventual.
ly preparing the way for standard
system.
1t is planned to get the views of those
concerned partly by interviews and
largely by correspondence. A repre-
sentative of the Forest Service will en-
deavor to visit the secretaries and
members of grading bureaus ofvarious
associations and learn their views in
regard to the practical workings of the
various rules. A large number of
mill men and manufacturers will be
reached by correspondence and their
views sought. 1t is especially desired
to find the important points of differ
ence in grades from the view points of
both producer and consumer of lum-
ber, and also to ascertain the chief diff
ficulties in the way of devising and ex-
ecuting system of standard grades.
The assistance of manufacturers and
consumers of lumber is earnestly de-
sired in this work. Suggestions con-
cerning it will be gladly received by the
Office of Forest Products, Forest Ser.
