TT HE old county jail was a queer
place, its reputation for hospital
ity having b. come so widespread
among the vagabonds of the
North country that many of them chose
to spend their winters there rather than
make an effort to get enough work to
keep them alive.
The sheriff. though a conscientious Of
ficer of the law. possessed such a big
heart that he could not conceive of
any man being habitually bad. = He
treated each prisoner as though he had
made but a temporary slip and would
soon become once more a respected citi-
zen.
The discipline wss, therefore. usually
lax. and the remarkable fact was often
commented upon that there had been
but enc successful escape from this in
stitusion, and that before the present
regime.
AS Sheriff Bill entered the cell to
which Jim had been assigned, bringing
his supper, he remarked proudly or this

for his return was almost unbearabIe.
The sight Of the darkening evening

open window. made liberty itself seem
sweet and Jim pressed his face against
the iron things which kept that liberty
from becoming his.
He was in this position when sudden
ly he heard grunt, coming from his
left. Looking in that direction along
the wall OF the jail building. he could
see, not five feet from him. another

OLD TIME CATTLEMAN
CAN'T GET RESIGNED
TO THE DRY FARMERS

(Kansas City Livestock Journal.)
W. L. Popejoy of Ration, ". NJ, has
been in the southwestern range coun-
the natives, although he was born and
raised in Green county, Missouri. That
country was very new when he landed
there. In those days there were no
fences and no talk about dry farm
ing. When he located, Mr.. Popejoy
supposed he was far enough away to
be forever out OF the way OF farmers
in an exclusive cattle country. But
the settler found us, and he is there"
he said. 1T makes M difference
whether that was intended by Provi-
dence for the cattlemen exclusively or
not, so far as this settler Is concerned.
He is bound to go in anyway. And
he is in. and it looks very much as If

SAWOUST FLOUR
CONSERVATION
MEASURE
Forest Service Recommends It
Not for Biscuit Making But
as ingredient of Dynamite
and Other Useful Things,
Morning Journal Bureau.
613 Munsey Building.
Washington, -. c., Dec. /.

Flour from sawdust is another
step in the movement for the conser
walton of forest ~resourees.. The
United States consul at Christiania
Norway, has sent to this government
suggestion along this line which may
be of value to American lumbermei
who are wrestling with the problem OF
sawdust waste.
The flour in question is not the kin
which goes into the making of light
fluffy biscuits and the other kind
which are not light, or flaky pastry,
but ii is an ingredient OF dynafite,
llnoleum, xyolite, which for the infor-
nation of the man on the street is n
kind of artificial flooring. and other
things. 1t is not put forward as Il
new discovery, for it has been In use
for several years in Europe, and to a
small extent in this country.
The wood flour is ground in a cheap
mill, very similar to those which grind
corn and rye. Pine and spruce saw
dust is used in Europe, and after pass
ing through the stones and the boiling
chest, it is sacked or haled for ship
ment. 1t is then worth twelve to thir-
teen dollars Il ton.
The flour has a number of uses, one
of which is in the making of dyna-
mite. 1t Is the absorbent for the
nitroglycerine, which is the explosive
but ii is an ingredient of dynamite.
inferior to that made with Industrial
earth as the absorbent; III it serves
many purposes, and is cheaper. But
Il trta Z. mite 10 "a - tho p.xxnIlAps x..R
pective uses for the product. Limo
leum makers mix it with linseed oil
and give body to their floor coverings.
1t is not considered quite equal to
ground cork for this purpose. as it is
less elastic; but ii is cheaper and
meets requirements for medium
grades.
The flour fills IN important place
in the manufacture of xyolite, a kind
of artificial flooring, resembling wood
in weight. and stone in other respects,
1t is used for kitchen floors, and in
halls, corridors, cafes, restaurants and
public rooms. 1t Is impervious to
water, and is practically fire-proof. 1t
is floor material in some Of the Ger
mar war vessels. 1t is so used be-
cause 1t is not liable to take fire or
splinter if struck by shells.
Many additional uses for wood flour
will probably be found. The mount
of sawdust to be had In this country
is practically unlimited, and millmen
will welcome any plan that will lessen
the waste at the sawdust dump. Nor
exports thousands of tons of this
sawdust flour yearly. and the United
States takes some of it, GERMANY is
large manufacturer also, and has
been for years. England is an extern
sive buyer, and much goes to France.
