They were riding in box car. The
brakeman dropped into the car and
said, Where are you fellows going2'
ITO Atchison. "Well, you can't
go to Atchison on this train, 30 get of. "
"You get" came the reply, and as
the brakeman was looking into the
business end Of a gun he took the sd-
vice and "got." he went back to the
oaboose, and the conductor asked him
if he had put the fellows of. mo,
he answered, II did not have the
heart to pull them of. They want to
go to Atchison, and, besides, they are

ductor used some very strong LAM
guage and then said he would put
them of himself. he went over to
the car and met with the same ex-
perience as the brakeman. When be

Eailn without Works.

Elder John Stephens held pastor
ate in the Free Baptist church at Gard
ner forty years ago. Remarkable
alike for sincere pisty and genuine
humor, the good man so tempered his
teachings as to make them acceptable
10 saint and sinner.
Riding one day along the road to
West Gardner he overlook an OF team
that was stuck in the mud. The dis-
couraged cattle had refused to pull;
and the driver who had sworn until
the air was blue, was preparing an.
other string Of osths, when the parson
stopped his horse and said; TRY pray
sr, my friend, try prayer.
Try it yourself" retorted the veI-
ed tesmster.
81 will do it," said the elder, and
dropped on his knees in the wagon.
For a while be prayed around his sub.
ject as il afraid to touch it.
Gradually, however, his faith
strengthened; and in voice which
babe fair to arouse the neighborhood,
he besought the owner Of the cattle on
thousand hills to move the hearts
and legs Of those stubborn oxen. The
prayer was unconciously long, aud no
sooner had it ended than the impa.
tient driver prepared to start his team.
"Stopl" said the elder, descending
from his wagon. "As | have done
the praying, | ought to do the driving.
Hold my horse and give me good
stick.
At that moment another or team
was seen approaching. Hello, neigh.
bOrr' the parson shouted TO the new.
conner, "lsnd me your cattle for mo-
ment.
"Hold on" cried the owner Of the
mired cart, that is not fair. II you
can handle this team better by pray
ing than | can by swearing, do it; but
there's no doubling up, mind you, no
doubling up"
Elder Johns robust figure was
drawn up to its fullest height. and
bis voice was like the roar Of the
ocean as be answered: my friend,
the Master | serve is sbundantly able
to move this load with single yoke
of oxen or without any oxen at all,
but when in direct answer to prayer
he sends me sE extra pair Of cattle, !
am going 10 hook them on" And he
proceeded to do 80.

Great Sale Of Timber Lands.

What is said to be the largest sin.
gle sale of timber land in the history
of West Virginia has been made by
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company to corporation which will
at once, begin development. The
purchasing company has mills at
Ridgeway and at Oamdsn-ou-the-
Gauley, within reach of the tract.
The combined capacity Of its mills is
$50, 900 feet a day. Two million
dollars is the reported price paid for
100000 acres Of hardwood, chiefly
virgin forest, containing yellow pop
lar, cherry, oak. maple, birch, ASH and
many other valuable woods.
The land lies in mountainous re-
gion drained by northeastern tribu-
taries of the Great Ksnawha, which
emptles into the Ohio about 800 miles
from Pittsburs. 1t is one Of the
largest and most valuable bodies OF
hardwood timber remaining in the
Appalachian region. Many Of the
mountain ranges which cross the tract
are from 5000 to 1000 feet high and
covered to their SUBMITS with rcb
forests.
North of this tract, out drained by
the same streams, lies another holding
of l29, 900 acres, recently secured by
pulp company. This is covered
with spruce and hemlOck, with many
patches OF hardwoods. Development
of the property, it is said, will begin
in the immediate future. The two
bodies Of land, lying IL the same re-
gion, aggregate more than 500 square
miles of primeval forest about to be
turned into marketable products.
The stripping of the forest cover
from region so large and so noun
famous will be watched with interest
by those who study the effect of the
soil cover on stream aow. The rain
fall over the region is very heavy
more than four feet annually. Snow
six feet deep on the timbsred noun.
tains, while not usual, is an occasional
occurrence. Fire is sure to follow the
usual methods of numbering aud un-
lees this region is more fortunate than
most lumber tracts IN that part OF the
Appalachian Plateau, many of the
SUBMITS and sides of the mountains
vii be laid bare down to the soil and
rocks. The rainfall and the melted
snow, which are now retarded by the
forests, will then pour down the naked
slopes and cause destructive foods in
the lower streams aud low water will
follow.
West Virginia is one Of the States
which has taken no measures to pro-
tect its valleys from hoods by pre-.
serving the forests on the mountains.
It's woods are being cut and burned
more rapidly perhaps than those Of
any other State, and this in face Of
the fact that it is BY nature a forest
State, with soils and situations suited
to almost eli eastern trees. II might
perpetuste its forests and have woods
Of immense value always. A little
protection against FIRE, the leaving Of
small treee to form the future forests,
and provisions for reproduction by
means Of seed trees are simple
measures, but they would mean all
the difference between wasted hill
sides and well-stocked forests ripe for
the az. A few years would bring
handsome returns for the investment.

End OF The Route.

One cold winter morning man OF
tall and angular build was walking
down steep hill at brisk pace. A
piece of ice under the snow caused
him to slip and lose control Of his feet.
he began to slide and was unable to
stop.
At a crossing half way down he en-.
countered a large, heavy woman.
The meeting was sudden, and bsfore
either realized it a collision ensued,
and both were sliding down hill-the
thin man underneath, the woman on
top.
When the bottom of the hill was
reached and the woman was trying to
recover her breath and her feel, these
faint words were borne to her ear:
Pardon me, madam, but you will
have to get of here. This is as far
as CO."
