morning. AS Chickasha only had six
carriers and six routes. the addition

Of the growth Of the city than this.

Benjamin T. Butler of Massachu-
sets was a tireless worker when he
started on anything. He and his
secretary, Clancy, says the Balti-
more Sun, oftentimes sat in the IL
brary until almost daylight when
the general wanted to finish up any
thing.
During the night sessions of the
senate toward close Of congress a
senator called on General Butler
one morning at 3 o'clock. The
same senator called again when the
senate adjourned the following
morning at daybreak and found the
general and Clancy still at work.
Don't you ever stop?" the SEN
ator asked
'No," General Butler said. "Sa-
tan finds some mischief still for idle
hands to do"
General, I never knew before
just who my employer was" Clancy
said, bowling.

PHOTOGRAPHIC ANIMALS.
Some Dangers the Man Behind the
Camera Encounters.

some Dangers the Man Behind The
Camera Encounters.
Today the camera penetrates
everywhere, and sometimes its use
is attended with considerable dan
ger and difficulty. Nowhere is this
more pronounced than when the
camera is brought into use in TAX
ing lifelike pictures of wild ami
mails in captivity.
How hazardous this may be is
shown by the following incident,
which happened not long ago at a
big geological garden abroad: A
fine white leopard had been added to
the collection, and as soon as it APP
peared to have settled down the au-
thorities decided to have it photo
graphed. 1t seemed to be a fairly
quiet creature-neryous and timid,
to be sure, but without any sign of
temper.
When the keeper entered its cage
it had taken little notice of him be-
yond the usual splitting and Kissing
natural to its kind The photogra-
pher therefore followed the keeper
into its cage without apprehension
of trouble.
He set up his apparatus, adjusted
it, took several pictures of the
leopard, and all seemed satisfactory.
As he shut up his camera, however,
the operator CHANGED to shuttle his
feet once or twice on the floor of
the cage.
Like a streak Of lightning the
leopard, with an ominous snarl,
leaped at him, and before he could
move the animal was gripping his
ankle with his forepaws and flu
riously biting at his foot. Luckily
the keeper and some assistants sue
ceeded in beating off the beast in
time to save the photographers life,
but it was a narrow squeak.
At the same zoo some time after
when an attempt was made to pho
tograph one Of the llamas-an ami
NAL generally considered to be
fairly docile creature, with nothing
particularly Objectionable about it
beyond its habit Of spitting-the
photographers Subject" revealed
its true nature by suddenly making
a dash for camera and operator, and
before the latter could be rescued
he was the recipient of innumerable
scratches, cuts and bruises which
took some weeks to heal.
1t is an open question whether
seals and sea lions are vicious or
not. They are certainly extremely
curious and anxious to find out
things for themselves, and a pho
tographer who tried to take a pic
ture of troupe of performing sea
lions had an experience worth re-
cording.
He erected his tripod and camera
and was about to make the exposure
when one of the sea lions wriggled
off his pedestal and made straight
for the camera. 1t was all done so
quickly that before the photogra-
pher realized it the camera was up
set and the sea lion was biting the
mans legs and feet pretty sharply.
The trainer got him away, and no
serious harm was done, but he ex-
planned to the camera man that sea
lions often did a little biting Just
to find out what an object was made
of!-Pearson's Weekly.

importation with creosote has
been greatly cheapened by the
introduction of the ''open tank, .
which can be installed at a cost
of from $50 to $44, or much less
if an old boiler is used. A tank
with a bottom IL square feet in
area will suffice for treating 40
or so 6-inch posts a day, OF
double this number when two
runs per day can be made. The
absorption of creosote per post
is about as follows: Eucalyptus,
one-tenth gallon; willow, two
tenth gallon, sassafras, ash,
hickory, red oak, water oak, elm,
and maple. four-tenths gallon;
Douglas fir, quaking aspen, and
black walnut, six-tenths gallon;
sycamore, cottonwood, and
lodgepole pine, tseven-tenths gal
Ions. The price of creosote is
about 10 cents per gallon in the
East and Middle West, 16 cents
per gallon on the Pacigc coast,
and rs cents per gallon in the
Rocky Mountain States. The
cost of treating a post will there
fore vary from 4 to Is cents.
Properly treated it should give
service sfor ..at least twenty
years.
Experiments of the Forest
Service show that with preser-
vative treatment the durability
of lodgepole pine in Idaho is in
creased sixteen years. The cost
of creosote is there relatively
high. yet by treating posts there
is a saving, with interest as 6per
cent, 2 cents per post yearly.
More important than the saving,
however, is the factthat through
preservative treatment other
woods are fitted to take the place
of cedar, of which the supply is
rapidly becoming exhausted. A
