CUTTING MAHOGANY.
Hard Work to Find, Fell and Trans
port the Tree Trunks.

Hard Work to Find, Fell ana lrans-
port the Tree Trunks.
In Mexico, Honduras end Central
America the contractor gives IS for a
mahogany tree. This seems cheap, but
it Is the expense Of getting 1t out, says
writer in the New Orleans Times
Democrat, that makes mahogany an
expensive lumber he tree stands deep
in the forest in the midst Of an almost
impenetrable jungle. There are no
groves. The trees are scattered, per-
haps not more than two to an acre,
and it may be that there Is no water
course at hand on which the logs can
be fioated to port.
The tree has to be found by the
hunter" whose business it Is to roam
through the forest in search Of mahog-
any trees and to blaze a way to them,
so that they may be found again.
Then the workmen must cut their Ia
borious way to the tree, using for the
purpose the machete, which is both the
ak and the weapon of the American
tropics, and in time the men reach the
tree.
1t Is a beautiful growth, tall and
shapely, with the lowest branches at
least sixty feet from the ground.
At the bottom Is a huge swelling, af-
ter the manner Of the cypress. The
tree has to be cut above 1t, six or
eight feet from the roots.
The first work to be done Is the
building Of a platform around the
trunk, so that the cutters can stand
upon it and WELD their axes, but the
work is slow and laborious. Never
theless in due course the monarch
comes crashing down through the
thick growth around 1t.
The workmen trim off the limbs, cut
the trunk into suitable lengths and
manage to get them hauled and rolled
to the nearest creek. There they must
await the floods Of the rainy season,
which will lift them and carry theT
down stream and on to the ocean port.
There the logs are piled on the beach
to wait for a vessel. When 1t comes
they are rolled back into the water and
RATED and pulled out to the vessels
side, always a dangerous undertaking,
for the water is usually rough.
When the logs are once beside the
vessel the derricks are put to work
and the logs lifted over the side, one
by one, and lowered with much diff
Guilty into the hold.
Ten million feet a year come into
New Orleans and are partly manufac-
tured there. The saws in the mahog-
any mills of Louisiana run day and
night in winter During the twenty
four hours $4,000 feet of lumber are
cut by some of the mills.
There Is no such thing as bringing
the logs in ballast. They compose
the ships entire cargo, and the aver
age is about twenty cargoes a year. A
great many ships are engaged in the
enterprise.

postsI Business Methods-The

Postal Business Methods-The
press bureau of the postoffice depart
ment has been working overtime late
ly, in throwing bouquets at Postmaster
General Hitchcock and his assistants
in conducting the affairs Of the de-
partment. 1t gravely announces that
the postal deficit, which heretofore has
existed in the department, has been
wiped out, owing to the improved bus
mess methods inaugurated by Mr..
Hitchcock. These methods consist OF
appropriating $500 mail apartment
cars, furnished by the short line rail-
roads at their own expense, without
the government paying a penny for
their use or maintenance; in compell-
ing these same roads to deliver the
free, a service that would cost the
postoffice department, according to
their own statement, over four and
one quarter million dollars annually,
If the government employed contrac-
tors to do the work. also in computing
weight VI Tic "
the compensation for four years, by
dividing the weight carried six days In
a week by seven, thus arbitrarily re-
ducing, by one-seventh, the amount
the railroads are entitled to receive.
In verification of these statements, II
Is only necessary to consult the annual
report of Mr.. Hitchcock for the year
1910. This report shows that while
the revenue of the postoftice depart
ment increased $20,566,274 for the year
1910, over the year 1909, the railroads
of the country, which performed the
bulk of the service essential to enable
the government to earn the increased
revenue, received $352,759.74 less In
1910 than in 1909. A further perusal
of the report shows that Mr.. Hitch
cock increased the payroll of his en-
ployees over seven million dollars for
the year 1910 In these circumstances,
with the revenue of the postoffice de-
partment increasing by leaps and
bounds, at the rate Of $20,000,000 per
year, with the just pay due railroads
hithheld, little wonder is there that
Mr.. Hitchcock is enable to wipe out a
five million dollar deficit, increase the
pay for figurehead postmasters, and
equip his offices with extravagant and
high priced furnishings.

Walking Sticks.-Of all people per-
haps none are more fond of canes or
more skilled in their use than our fell
low citizens of Porto Rico. The walk
ing stick in that island would seem to
mark social distinctions among men
as fans do among women. Every
Spaniard has a cane, the well to do
own several. and the gilded youth Of
ten have small arsenal of walking
sticks The term arsenal is used
advsedly, as the Porto RicanS, like
the Spaniards, have quite fondness
for sword canes and dagger canes and
they make these with remarkable
skill The blades of the finer speci-
mems come from famous smiths in To-
ledo and other Spanish cities and are
forged from the finest steel. Some
are damascened and others are inlaid
with silver and gold, some have work
ed upon them the name of the owner
and others the name of Il patron saint

shoulder in an instant. Before Small
wood could lower his weapon she
pressed the trigger. The shot went
true. 1t tore the finger from the hand
that held the gun. A man twice shot
has the status of a dead man, so far
as warfare effectiveness is concerned.
So Smallwood's rifle became silent and
the fight was now two to two-men
against women-and one wounded on
each side, a man and a woman.
And so, for a full half hour, shots
from the open were answered by shot
from the house. Marshal Smith was
inclined to belittle the bravery Of the
mountainside garrison. He wanted to
take it by storm. Creeping out from
his sheltered spot he advanced with
gun muzzle moving like a side-play-
Ing pendulum to cover both windows.
He saw a girl at one window and mo-
mentarily forgot the other. A spit of
fire was the answer. Smith dropped
and never moved.
Marshal Mart Potter didn't wait for

doctor did what he could for Smith,
which was nothing at all. The rifle
bullet had cut into the muscles of his
heart and there was no hope and no
need of drugs or advice. The riddled
heart pumped on slower and slower
for four days. and stopped happily on
Sunday.
Mountain folk have an abiding ha-
tired for revenues" and, strange to
say. a sort of respect for peace-o officers
of a county's choosing. Deputy Sheriff
Osborne and a posse went later on TO
the Tackitt home. Charlie Tackitt was
not there. sharp file had cut the
steel bands that held his wrists to-
gether and he had become a fugitive.

give themselves up. They were taken
