Presently every Ian in camp is
aware OF the coming attack-the
sound Of axes ringing on the
timber is heard-some keep guard
while the axmen strengthen their de-
lenses. Dick personally superintends
the f~astenings OF the horses. tied in
the mouth Of a little blind canon that
runs on from their camp. and makes
a natural corral with the help Of a
few logs stretched as d barrier Al its
mouth. The animals are precious to

TAKES WAACK
At "KNoCKERS''

Rev. Mr.. Custer paid his compli-
ments to the chronic kicker and
''knocker" last night as an introduce
ton to his sermon. He said in part
81 have been bothered all the week by
people asking questions relative to a
man who has been running all over
Lewiston of late and these questions
have to do with the idea that when
you get your new stone church your
taxes will be so heavy as to almost
crush you, your insurance will be so
much higher as to finish the crushing,
and your expense of running the
church will exceed all bounds.
I'm answer to the first will say that
all should know that there will be no
taxes at all, and that the insurance
on stone church, isolated as this will
be, is much lower than on a wooden
structure such as the one you are now
in, and modern churches are erected
SO that you can use only what you
need for actual services, which will
make the fuel and light bill smaller
than in building of the nature Of this
one you are now in.
"Sam Jones was once preaching
among nest of kickers and knockers
and a paper called The Bee came out
with a lot Of knocking against him and
his work. He came before the con-
gregation the evening the paper came
out and holding it up said: You folks
call this a bee. A bee gathers honey
This is tumble bug, always going
backward"
