wild Ride on n Log.

Benjamin Colder, a lumberman OF
North Mountain, had a thrilling ride
down the mountain side today on a log.
The log started at the top Of the slide
and carried him with 1t. He managed
to get astride and feared to jump on
because Of the danger of being crushed.
The slide inclines about 80 degrees, and
the log sped downward at frightfui
speed. The branches of the trees whip
ped Colder with such force that his
clothes were torn to shreds. Near the
bottom a big branch swept him from
the log like a feather. He was picked
up unconscious and badly bruised, but
will recover.-New York Sun.

trial marriage. The other appeared
to take kindly to the trial marriage
part, but refused when he asked that
she shoulder a gun and march over
hill and dale in quest of game. So he
has decided to advertise.
Thayer is noted for his pluck. and
when an operation for appendicitis
became necessary he refused to take
Cpiates and was apparently the least
concerned in the room. Later blood
poison caused the removal of a part
Of his foot, but again he refused
eraesthetics.
Thayer has been in demand as r
guide. He shows his peculiarities
even in hunting and fishing, and many
times has taken from his pocket a
kalfgrown mouse. small frog or big
green worm and landed a trout with
it.
He enlisted in the civil war Sep
TENDER IL, 1862, and served until the
close. Many scars from sabers re-
ceived while fighting in hand to-hAnd
conflicts are on his body.
The veteran won't tell his age. but
he says the woman he marries needn't
tell hers, either. and he will not in
quire about her religion.-New York
