Queer Varmint In Man.

From the Eureka (kan) Messenger.
Wouldn't there be roar when men
went home to their meals if they had
TO climb up on high stool in front Of
81 table on which there was no cloth
and eat their meals in that fashion?
Yet a majority of men when they go
to a restaurant to eat will pick out the
highest stool and foodboard with no
cloth on il in preference to comfort
able chair and a cloth-coyered table.
A man will borrow chew of tobacco,
and most of them will set their teeth
into the plug right where some other
man has gnawed out a chew. Offer
them a piece of pie at home from
which the wife or one of the children
has taken a bite and they would holler
their heads Off At home such fellow
will not drink out of glass or cup
from which one of the family has been
drinking. Cali him into the back stall
of a dirty old livery barn, pull out a
bottle, and he will stick the neck of the
bottle half way down his throat in
order to get a swig after a dozen other
fellows have had the neck of the same
bottle in their mouths.

the town council as deacon Of the in
corporation of wrights. Success in
public life helped the deacon in his
business as wright, and few men APP
peared to have less ground to quarrel
with the conventional conception of
meum and tuum. Nevertheless the
deacon was always in want of money.
He was an inveterate gamester, gay
and much involved bachelor, and he
had a passion for the fashionable sport
of cock fighting. All this brought the
respected burgess into bad company,
particularly at certain disreputable

quented by sharpers. In 1888 Brodie
was even accused of himself using
loaded dice. The charge was very
likely true, but it never came up for
trial, for the deacon meanwhile had
been convicted of a hanging matter.
Brodie, in fact, for years had been
living double life. In the daytime
he was an honest craftsman, but at
night he exchanged his chisel for a
Jimmy and a dark lantern. The dea-
con was a humorist and the situation
doubtless appealed to him. The friend
he had robbed over night he would
condole with in the morning, and after
some particularly ingenious burglary
he would be the first in the council
chamber to suggest offering a reward
for discovering the perpetrator. For
twenty years this prince of craftsmen

of the most notable of the legal battles

in this problem is needed in the interest
of the timbermen as well of the public
generally.

Edinburgh. He was burgess and

First Failure.

The first failure to result from the dis
astrous storm of last fall has Just been
recorded in the federal court of Alabama,
the unfortunate concern being the Mann
Lumber company. The bankruptcy is in
voluntary. The assets are said to fully
cover the liabilities, which are scheduled
at $4,000, but the trouble with the COM
pany was its inability to get ready cash
with which to meet it's maturing obliga-
tons. Mr.. r. X. Mann, the head of the
concern, is interested in other big lum-
Der enterprises which are not affected by
this failure. 1t appears that the Mann
company bought heavily of valuable
timber lands late last summer, and had
just taken possession when the big
storm came up. The land lay right in the
center of the path of the storm and suf-
fered severe damage. The company took
prompt steps TO realize on its fallen tim
ber and several portable mills were put
to work on the tract. With these sens-
BILE provisions the company might have
pulled through, but the car shortage and
the labor scarcity and other such OBJ

III large timber land trading during the
past few weeks, and some big deals have
been reported One of these transactions
was manipulated for the Edward Hines
company of Chicago, and places that
company in possession of nearly a mil
lion dollars worth of timber land in Han
cock and Harrison counties in Missis-
sippi, the land being on the route of the
Hines company's proposed road from
Poplarville to Gulfport.
Another deal involves the sale of the
Hill-Drummond Lumber companv,s hold
ings at Baskin. La, to the Advance Lum-
Der company of Cleveland, O., for $50 -
600. The timber includes something like
6Omo,OO0 feet of yellow pine and oak on
10000 acres of land. The purchasers will

Paper Making Industry.

Paper making from yellow nine refusa
IS an industry that is likely to be intro
duced into this part of the country before
long, The success which has attended
the enterprise of the Yellow Pine Paper
company of Orange Tex, has been so
notable as to attract the attention of
investors, and there is talk of a similar
plant in this part of the country.
The demand for the paper produce is
practically unlimited, and the Texas in
sutution finds sale for all of its output
nthe immediate states of Texas and
Louisiana. w. IL. Starh, the president
OF the Texas company, has this to say of
the enterprise: The mill is constantly
worked at its fullest capacity, and we
have no trouble in selling every pound
we make. We use the refuse from the
pine lumber mills. and turn out "A fine
quality of wrapping paper, which finds a
ready market almost at our very doors.
III necessary we could convert all of our
product into writing paper or newspaper
stock, but the bleaching process would
involve an additional expense, which is
altogether unnecessary al this stage of
the industry in view of the fact that we
can dispose of the wrapping paper as
readily as we could sell the bleached
qualities"
Mr.. Stark's company may be regarded
a sthe pioneer in its particular business.
for there is no other company using the
pine refuse for paper making in COM
mercial and profitable way.

 Recently the law became aware of the fact that there were hundreds of small music publishing companies do- Ing business entirely on their nerve. Their method was to advertise for song poems showing the enormous profits made from popular songs. Az the song manuscripts flowed in they nfther had music written for them Or "borrowed' music already written and sent letter of acceptance to the per son who had sent in the song poem The letter stated that preliminary cost of from S10 to 80 would be nee e@eary for making the platee. Tn most instances the money was sent The plates were made cheeply, the publish ing house sent professional copy to the author, and there the matter drop ped. No effort at marketing the produc. ton was made. The law is graduallr getting after these publishers, but there are many of these wildcat insti tutions still fourishing
