WORK OF MAHOGANY HUNTER.
practieed Eye Needed to Locate '"e
 Valuable Timber.

Mahogany trees do not grow ID clusters. but are scattered througflou' the forest and hidden in a dense growth of underhrush. vines ana creepers and require a skillfui anu experienced woodsman to md tnein' He seeks the highest ground in TOT est climbs to the top of the tailest tree and surveys the surrounding country. The mahogany has pe- culiar foliage and his practiced eye soon detects the trees within sighl. The axmen follow the hunter anu then come the sawyers and hewers' a large mahogany taking two men run day to fell 1t. The tree has large spurs, which project from the trunk at its base, and scaffolds must pc erected so that the tree can be cu' of above the spurs. This leaves stump ten to fifteen feet high. whicn Is sheer waste. as the stump resiiy contains the best lumber. The hunter has nothing to do with the work oi cutting or removing the tree, his duty being simply to locate 1t. If he IS clever and energetic his remuneration may amount to $500 or $1.OOo month, but he may travel weeks at time without detecting tree. and as he is generally paid by results ms earnings are rather precarious.

PLEA FOR sELF-RELlANcE.
Charles c. Dawes Good Advice 10
 Young Men In Business.

This is hard world in business. IL always has been and always will be. There are many good and generous
 men in it. There are many who will lend a helping hand to you in your ao- versity. but in the time of need you will not find them among the men who tried to get you to embark in speculation with your little surplus, and to sell you something which would help you to easy money Be self-reliant Make your own inyesti- gation into investments. When you cannot, put your money in a good savings bank Distrust the financial demagogues as you distrust the po- litical demagogue. Keep your hano on your pocketbook as you travel life first, to give always in proportion to your means to those who are poor CT; second, to hold from those who would take through force or fraud what you need for yourself and yours
 You will then, writes Mir. Dawes in she Saturday Evening Post, have your hand where most of the other fellows have only their eyes. In this alone YOU will have the advantage of them

INDIAN GREEN CORN DANCE
Forty Seven Clans of Creeks in Their
 great Annual Event.

Muskogee, l. T., July 26.-In the ~ Indian towns (clans) of the Creek nation there are now being held in the annual green corn dances, the bootlegger IS busy and the Indian, after he has danced will eat green corn for the first time this year.
 An Indian will not eat roasting ears until after the green corn dance. This is an old supersti- tious custom rigidlv observed among fulloloods. The custom is'so old that 1t IS impossible to get a clear idea as to it's origin. The green corn dances are held at about the same time in each town though where the Indian towns are close together different q ates are sometimes fixed SO that the towns may attend each dance. There are from fifty to 100 In' diaus at these dances, though when some big celebration is pulled off the number runs up to five or six hundred.

ciRcumsrANTlAL EVIDENCE.
Jabez Enjoyed the Pone Pudding and
 fhe Cat Got the Punishment.

The late Senator Pugh, of Alabama, sracticed law for many years in Flu faula. A Eufaula man said of him the other day:
 Tn an eloquent speech on circum- stantial evidence l once heard Sena' tor Pugh drive home the danger of this sort of evidence with a good story.
 He said that a Eufaula woman made one of those corn pene puddings for which the ladies of our ' are famous. She put tie pudding on a shelf to cool and then she went out to have dress fitted. Her little son Jabez was left alone in the house
 "Jabez played with his toys till he got hungry. Then he put chair be- meath the shelf, climbed up and ate all of the delicious pone pudding that his small interior would possibly hold. To conclude he did strange thing.
 He caught the cat, dabbled her four paws in the soft yellow custard in the bottom of the dish and then set her down. She scampered through the kitchen into the dining-room and parlor and thence out of doors. On the bare boards of the kitchen, on the dining-room's red carpet and on the parlor's carpet of green she left i'm partially small golden footprints, very neat, very conspicuous The boy ,miled softly to himself.
 And that evening. on bis fathers return he heard a wild scampering be- low. the banging of the front door, a terrific moving and the sharp crack of rife.
 Then little Jabez smiled softly to himself again.
 An. mel! he said, there goes an. other victim of circumstantial evi dence"

A Georgia storm.

Augusta, Ga, July 27.-The storm which swept over Augusta Thursday night did much damage to property and incalcuable damage to the fruit and shade trees. It also played some queer pranks. One bolt of lightning which set fire to the cotton in the card rooms in the Augusta Cotton fac. tory was followed by another which turned on the automatic sprinkler system, quickly extinguishing the fire by flooding all parts of the build ing. Large quantities of manufactured goods were ruined and the damage to machinery will be very heavy Telephone, telegraph, electric lighting and street car companies suffered heavily and sewers and drains were greatly damaged by the flood of wa ter.
