man with wooden cap drawn closely
over his ears and nose. There are
Sits for his eyes. On his feet are
great wooden packs with rubber shoes
and his trousers are tucked inside
the packs. His coat is very odd, to
you, consisting of a great, bright
sweater sort of garment, buckled
closely around him. On his shoulder
he carries an ak. He begins to cut
Christmas trees and the one you
have In your home is a very pretty
one that pleases him as he hauls it
away to where his team awaits. With
many other trees your tree is put on
the sled and after a time, is hauled
to the depot where it is shipped to
your grocer
The man who cut 1t was no doubt
lumberjack and If he is like his kind,
he lives in log cabin with his wife
and children. In the olden days he
worked in the timber exclusively, but
now he farms during the summer on
wee farm that he is clearing of
stumrs and in the winter time he
cuts wood for the lumber companies.

to unload Christmas trees. Soon the
