LADY GoDivA REPRESENTED.

LADY GODIVA REPRESENTED.
Several times during the last 200
years great carnival has been given
at Coventry, England, in behalf OF
some worthy charity, and the chief
feature of the affair has always been
an attempt to reproduce the famous
ride of Lady Godiva. The latter, it
will be remembered, rode through the
town on horseback nude. cloaked only
band, the earl, had laughingly prom
ised that if she did SO he would free
the inhabitants from the oppressive
taxation he had imposed on them.
However little he may have meant
it the earl kept his promise. and
the event has, therefore, ever since
been regarded in Coventry as a most
important one This year, when the
greatest of all the carniyals was held,
the part of Lady Godiva was taken
by Miss 2ansy\ Montagu. widely
known as LA Mili'' for her living
statuary exhibitions at a London mu-
sic hall Although the feeling against
this portion Of the pageant was very
strong among religious people, La
Milo attired herself SO artistically,
if lightly, that criticism was largely
disarmed. Her costume was flesh
colored, tightly-ftting garment, leay-
ing only the arms bare, while the
figure was draped with ample folds of
chiffon and a luxuriant auburn wig.
Her progress was witnessed by 1867

STILL A BOY.

"Still hoy we heard one say
To another, half in Jest.
Then fun wrinkles joined in play
With a laugh of merry zest;
And the jolly frame of him
Shook with bursts of sheerest JOY
As he answered back with vim. -,
well, I'm glad I'm still a boy!
Still a boy-aye, true enough
Glad, yet gentle; pure and klno'
Nodded sure of manly stuff,
Kind of boy it's hard to find.
Kind OF boy it's good to see
Man boy, wholesome; simple; true

If the choice were left to you.
Still hoy-how many now
Have forgot the solemn eye
Have forgot the wrinkled brow
Is the boys that once came by!
Call him back--it is his due;
Let him come with youth and JOY
Back into the heart of you,
Laughinsly, and still boy.
Still boy-ah, well-a-day,
Boys are scarce enough at pest.

Bulletin so, which has just been is
sued by the Census Bureau, presents
statistics relating to the manufacture
OF paper and wood pulp. The growth
of the industry in the five years be-
tween 1900 and 1905 surpassed the
growth in the preceding ten years.
Thus the value of products, which in
creased by $48,3SS,97S between 1890
and 1900, increased by $61 ,389 OPT be-
tween 1900 and 1905; the capital en-
ployed, which increased by ST, ,678, ,165
in the ten-year period preceding 1900,
increased by s109,936,75 ,758 in the next
five years. :
The leading state in this industry is
New York, for which the reported pro-
duct at the census of 1905 was $37,-
.75O, sos. The state which ranks next
in value of product is Massachusetts,,
for which the return was $32,C12,247.
Maine comes next with value of pro-
duct reported at s22.951, ,124. Then
come, in the order named, Wisconsin.

Glover Leaf JOllSOl'S

By HERBERT COOLIDGE.

One of the minor cattle kings" OF
California bears the title of Glover

leaf, is indelibly scared on the TANKS
OF two thousand cattle that range over
The mountains and deserts OF three
large counties.
1t is my good fortune to have met
Johnson and to have heard from MIN

calf, although this l denied emphati-
cally. Before returning to the foot
hills that fall, however, I did go to
just such an extreme Of art for arts
sake under conditions that were
somewhat unusual.
''The cattle I was running were al
lowed to roam at will over the noun
tains, and my principal business, after
getting them haunted was to keep
the salt-licks filled and to look out for
animals that were sick or crippled.
Late one evening l found cow and
steer that seemed to have been torn
by some wild animal, and with the in
tent1on of treating their wounds the
next day, ran them into corral
that had been built near the huge lone
oak under which / camped.
Before dawn the following morn
ing I was busy cooking breakfast
when pitiful bawling arose from the
corral. Thinking that one of the COW
brutes was goring the other, / seized
my branding-iron, which happened to
be the only weapon near at hand, ard
rushed to the rescue.
II could not see what was happen
ing inside the enclosure, as the stock
ade was of logs piled five feet high;
but without hesitation vaulted, clear
ing the top log neatly-under the cir
cumstances far too neatly, for as my
legs swung downward caught sight
of the unoffending steer covering in
the farther corner, and not fifteen feet
from the spot where I must alight the
cow lay PROSTATE and bleeding, with
a big grizzly walking round her.
Ordinarily I am not scatterwit,
but on this occasion I certainly at
tempted backward leap from foun-
dation of light mountain air, and in
consequence, landed fat on my back,
with arms and legs sprawling.
my plight demanded action swift
and strong, for the moment hit the
ground the grizzly made for me with
just such an up-and-over hop as a
spider executes when jumping a fly.
Just how I evaded his charge could
never say. know only that / got out
of the corral very quickly, and with
the bear close behind, raced for my
lone oak.
"The lower limbs of this old giant
branched some five or six feet above
my head, and the great girth of the
trunk offered little hope of ascent by
the shining process. should GER

and with no noticeable pause in my
upward fight, ascended to a foothold
in the crown of the tree.
"The grizzly, although falling back
]. into an awkward heap from his first
| spring at my receding legs, seemed
| unwilling to admit that he was not a
tree-climber; and spreading himself
out like flying squirrel against the
broad trunk, he dug his huge claws
into the rough bark and began inchlne
his way upward.
''The tree leaned from the direction

the bears great zeal and strenuous
application, gave some promise OF MS

quite encouraged over his prospects;
but when he had climbed couple Of
feet, l reached down and hit him a
clout over the head with the hand
hold OF my iron. The stout rod re-
bounded from the blow as il the old
fellows hide were made of india-rub-
Der, but it affected his temper violent
~, and with cultural snarl, he
dropped all holds, and promptly slid
to the ground.
We played this game until high
noon. The grizzly could not resist the
impulse to return buffet for clout, and
upon every withdrawal Of his fore
hooks he dropped back to mother
earth, always landing in a sitting
posture, with bump so harsh that
his teeth would rattle.
Finally he took a recess, and after
stirring about my camp for while,
ate dinner for us both. Everything
he did not eat he tore to pieces or
overturned. Flour, bacon, bedding,
beans, stock salt, dried fruit and sugar
he pied with grave satisfaction,
ignoring completely the wild whoops
and the lively war-dance with which
| strove to divert him.
Then, as if with the thought of
settling his dinner, he reclined on his
bulging side, and watched me with
languid interest while I took up my
belt couple of holes and wondered
how long it would be before I got an
other square meal myself.
For me nothing clears the brain
| like fasting, and after an hour Of ST
, lent contemplation, began to work
out scheme which promised a neat
combination of business and pleasure.
First procured some dry branches
and built lively fire in the saddle
shaped crotch of two gigantic limbs.
Then I climbed out to where storm
twisted branch threw out luxuriant
| growth of new shoots, and cut a
couple Of stout slaves six feet in
| length. One of these l whitfield to a
sharp point at the tapering end; the
other I 1ashed to the handle of the
branding-iron by means of my leather
belt and some buckskin strings which
found in my pocket.
] by this time the fire had good
| foundation of Goals, in which I bedded
the clover leaf While I waited for
the iron to heat, offended the reclin-
| ing grizzly by pelting him with
chunks Of oak bark, and when he
came protesting to the base of. the
| oak. by some vigorous digs with the
pointed staff. Upon this, he took up
the cares of the world again, aspiring,
as before dinner, to become tree
climber.
"But I caused him to defer the pre-
liminary trunk-grappling effort by
| vigorous prods with the sharp stick
Then, as he reared in great rage tc
threaten and parry, let him chew
and claw the staff for a moment
while I thrust the branding-iron I'M

clover leaf on his breast, and held i

heated metal settled through his
shaggy coat.

One more before you leave me!
One more to match it from below!"
shouted, and proceeded to rekindle
my fire and the grizzly's tree-climbing
ardor.
I'm this latter I found considerable
difficulty, as the branding incident
seemed to have imbued the old fellow
with deep-rooted difndence. A full
half-hour of pelting with sticks and
bark was required to draw him within
reach of my prod, although once this
was accomplished, he speedily became
lost in a ferocious craving for revenge.
So overwrought was he with this base
passion that he shortly found himself
backing out from the fumes of burnt
hair again.
Nov he bore on his breast two of
my symbols of ownership, placed per-
pendicularly and stem to stem. So
high did my enthusiasm run that I de-
termined to add one at each side,
thinking thus to complete a design in
which four clover leaves radiated from
| common center. The grizzly, how
ever, would have none of it. long
season of futile effort, attended by
painful gnawing in the region where
my breakfast and dinner should have
been, made me decide to send him
back to his haunts without further

when descended to put this plan

| me nearly to death by throwing him

!. making furious charge. He did not
really mean it, however, for he way-
{ cred as he neared me, and upon my
| leaping forward and extending the
| glowing clover leaf, reversed ends
with astonishing alacrity, and wonder
fully tore up the earth between me
and the nearest clump OF timber.
'"That was the last l ever saw of
| my grizzly in the flesh, but ten years
later, when looking for cattle that
had drifted hundred miles Off their
range, I had an opportunity of closely
examining my handiwork on his hide.

"On my answering affrmatively, he

to have some fun at my hosts ex-
pense, shook him warmly by the
hand, saying:
That's my iron, all right. You're
an honest man, and I'm right glad te
know you. i will take the hide, Of

Correct Speaking.

All young people should
acquire, in early life, the
habit Of correct speaking and
writing and to abandon, as
early as possible, any use of
slang words and phrases.
The longer ~. you live. the more
difficult the language will be;
and if the golden age of youth
the proper season for the ac-
QUESTION of language, be
passed in it's abuse, the un-
fortunate victim, if neglected
is very properly doomed to
talk slang for life. Money is
not necessary to procure this
education. Every man has
it in his power. He has
merely 10 use Jne language
which he reads instead of the
slang which he hears; to form
his taste from the best of
speakers and poets in the
country; to treasure up choise
phrases in his memory and
habituate himself to their
use, avoiding at the same time
that pedantic precision and
bombast which show the
weakness of vain ambition
rather than the polish of an
educated mind.

IRON RIVER

From the Pioneer
The mill of the Iron River Lum-
Der Company. this city's chief in
dustry, which closed down a week
ago to permit 4ofsa general over
hauling, will remain closed until
spring, This decision was reached
yesterday at the conclusion OF a
lengthy meeting of the head officers
of the company.
The tightness of the money mar
ket has had the natural result OF
seriously checking lumber sales,
as it has affected about every other
line of trade, and this is assigned as
the cause of the lumber company s
action in curtailing their business.
It is understood that the action OF
the company not only effects this
locality, but everyone of the Hines
Lumber Company's mills through
out the northwest and south will re.
main closed until the financial furry
has passed over and the business OF
the country assumes more normal
condition.
Manager CIubine says that about
all the employees who have families
TO support will be given employ
ment, if they want it, in the ship
ping department. This will NEAR
that they will retain fully one hal
of the crew during the shutdown
and, while the town will doubtless
feel the effects of the loss, bushes:
will not be so badly crippled as some
might expect. 49,.
