Logs Running Very Fast.

The season has generally been ia
vorable for driving, in the Kennebec,
and probably larger number of logs
have gone over Skowhegan falls
since the first of June than in any
previous two months since the river
was used for driving purposes. No
logs were sorted at the Scion boom
this year and, early in the driving
season, the pulp company at Madison,
having accumulated about twelve
million of feet of timber in their
boom, and finding that there were
very few of their own logs among
them, decided not to do any sorting
and turned them all loose at once.
These filled up the Skowhegan boom
good distance toward Spaulding's
Island and other logs followed so fast
that one time the river was full to
Jones Rips, about one mile this side
of Norridgewock bridge This was
on Wednesday of last week and it is
estimated that the jam must have
contained something like twenty FIVE
million feet of timber with a value of
1915, 600.
The sorting at the Skowhegan boom
is done by the Skowhegan Pulp Co.,
of which c. E. Young is superintend =
ent, and they have had a busy time
III selecting their timber from all
these logs. They have had from 80 10
40 men in their log crew all summer
long, bringing their pay roll up to
about $1,000 per week. They have
gained somewhat on the jam lately
and can now turn them out as fast as
the crew of the Kennebec Log Driv-
ing Company can get them by Show
hogan falls.
Other things besides logs get held
up on their way down riyefand mixed
up with the jam. Occasionally all
uprooted tree, now and then an old
boat, and last week a bull moose, that
had met its death by rifle or by
drowning at some point up river,
came floating along The rear drive
arrived at this jam and counted on
passing the boom and Skowhegan
falls, yesterday.

Just a Fish Story.

Forty years ago. when my father was
captain of an East India trading SNIP
while off the coast of Africa near the
equator the ships carpenter was taken
sick and died. He was sewed up IN
canvas, and with him were seWeo MS
kit of tools and grindstone for ballast
to sink him. Services were held ana
the body committed to the sea.
Four days later the ships BOY Tell
overheard, and great shark came up
under the stern and swallowed the BOY
before he could be reached.
The next day the shark was sui Iof
lowing the ship. shark hook was
baited and put over the stern, ana the
shark was caught, but was so large II
could not be taken on board, ana they
were Obliged to shoot him. He looked
so plump and large the mate. who was
an old whaler, wanted to go over the
side and cut the fish open. he was
lowered over and cut hole IN the
shark and was surprised to hear voices
and on looking in saw the SHIPS boy
turning the grindstone for the ships
carpenter, who was sharpening his
ak to cut their way out.

can vouch for this that it Is a fish

CANT attentions that are lavished by
the rich upon pet dogs. He spoke of
the canine operations for appendicitis

or try ton cases where the
Republicans do not do~them
in the primaries and nominal
ing conventions.
Another thought is sug-
gested by the Wisconsin
primaries. There already
are in congress from W1scon-
sin two Republican members
who have openly attacked the
the autocratic rule of Speak
err Cannon on the fioor-Coop-
er of the First district and
Nelson of the Second. Kues-
termann of the Ninth may
also be counted with them in
the stand they have taken.
All three have been renOm-
ina4ed, according to the re-
turns received here, while
Lenroot has defeated jenkins
on practically an anti-Can-
non issue. The thing to
wonder about now is the
course these nominees, all of
whom are practically sure of
election, will pursue when it
comes to the Republican
caucus and after the caucus
to the election of the speaker
if the house be Republican /.
There may be more like them
from other states. In the
event that the Republican
majority be a narrow one
these members of congress
will occupy position of de-
cided interest prior to the or
ganization.'

The Story of an Arab Boy Who Re.
nounced Mohammedanism
According to history, there was born
about the year 1920 an Arab boy
named Geronimo. He was captured In
infancy by the Spanish garrison at
Uran, and when about eight years old
he escaped from his captors and went
back to his family living as Moham-
medan until the age of twenty-five
He then voluntarily returned to Orap
and resumed the Christian life which

4 few years later he went on coast

but the raiders were themselves cap
tured by Moorish corsair and
brought to Algiers. Here the attempt
was made to convert him to Moham-

of the spot by Haido, Spanish Bene-
dictine missionary to Algiers. who
prayed the time might come when the
Lord would pave the way for his ex-
humation and Christian burial. In
1853 the French found it necessary to
DESTROY the fort and the data left by
Haido were found to be correct, for the
designated block Of concrete on being
cut open disclosed the bones Of Geron

The bones were removed Dec. u, 1858.

was made of the cavity and afterward
raphed.-Cement Age.
