More lumber was cut in the United
States last year than in any other year
in it's history. The enormous of
81, $50, 1856 board feet was produced. and
the mill value OF this was 1921 ISL ,3SS.
In addition there were produced 1885,
go, 600 shingles, valued at $24. 155, 555,
and 3,812. S07 900 iath. valued at S11, AGO.
$40. On the whole, it is safe to say that
the present annual lumber cut of the
United States approximates 40. 600, 000,-
600 feet, and that the total mill value of
the lumber, lath, and shingles each year
produced is not less than $500, 600, 600.
These figures give some idea OF how
vas is the lumber industry and how
great is the demand for its products.

neer resident of Colorado. widely
known all over the western slope,
was burned to death last night in
the Lake City jail, while intoxicat-

fire was burning and upset it. or
deliberately kicked 1t over through

is provided for the building, he was
dead before the fire was discovered,
and any attempt could be made to
rescue him.
He was arrested Saturday night
for drunkenness. He was only re-

WHY THIRTEEN IS uNLuoKY.

1t is usually stated that the super
stitious objection to sitting 13 at the
table in Christian countries was bas-
ed on the fact of the last supper,
when Christ and His ~ diciples sat
down tc eat together. Immediately
after the Savior was seized by his
enemies, says the Housekeeper.
But in the Morse mythology, which
is supposed to antedate the intro
duction of Christianity among the
Mortimer. We find the superstition
referred to In the fact that at a
banquet OF the gods of Loki. the
spirit of mischief. intrudei himself
making 13 at the table, wherefore
there was fight. and Balbour, a
young hero especially loved by all
the gods, was killed For the fact
seems to have existed even before
Christianity. Among the Turks the
number is so disliked and feared
that it is never even named; with
Aztecs, the aborigines of Mexico. 1t
was believed to have magic power.
and like fancy has been found in
other Indian tribes.
Among the ignorant blacks of the
south. the fear of this number
in any connection is absolutely abb
surd, but whether they have borrow
ed this idea from their imperfect
knowledge Of Christianity. or wheth-
er 1t is survival OF the hoodoo wor-
ship of their ancestors, 1t IL impossi-
BILE to say, for the superstition has
a strong hold everywhere, even
among those who should know better
than to be swayed by 1t. In Italy
It Is never used in making up the
number OF the favorite lotteries. and
In Paris It is omitted In numbering
the houses on the streets.
