Woodehopplng Is aRport.


In Tasmania is to be found national
pastime that is special and particular
to that state alone-the sport of wood
chopping. 1t says much for the grit
and vigor Of Tasmanians that this
really serious and arduoas work should
be regarded as the finest sport. At
Hobart and Launceston they have
their turf meetings, their cricket, foot
bah, golf, cycling, and SO forth, but to
a woodchopping contest people VIII
dock from far and near-men, women
and children-and watch the ak WELD
ers hewing away at huge blocks Of
timber as If life and reputation de-
pended upon the issue. Thud, thud,
thud, go the axes, and the splinters fly
In all directions, the judges calmly sit
ting near, taking notes Of the strokes,
the spectators cheering the compel
ttors from time to time as frantically
as if they were race horses. To be a
Iwoodchopping champion means some
thing to man in Tasmania .-Dundee

by earthquakes and simooms and stints

plants have been received by the police

SCISSOR of q cork leg, swindled them out
of room rent and groceries.
So far, the detectives say. not fewer
than twenty complaints have been
made. The latest complainant is Mrs,
Ida +. Carpenter of 1888 West Twenty

rented her house to Mrs. Barts and her
daughter, and was compelled to have

to pay rent
Mrs Carpenter stated that the Barts
