seem to be devoid Of chances" said q
dealer in fine woods, '.yet as a matter

Of & gamble. On every log Of wood we
buy we take chance that the inside

any log that looked all right so far as
we could tell # the inside was sound
we stood to make a good profit, but
worm holes OF rotten spots at the core
would mean 4 heavy loss. Not until
we got the log to this country and gol
it opened up could we be certain AS
a matter of fact this particular log
was perfect, and we cleaned up $4,000
on the deal. But it was gambling pure
and simple."- York Sun.
