The VerY hest Make.

In the course OF an afterdInner
speech in praise of woman, Samuel
Untermeyer, the New York lawyer,
said in Pittsburg;
"A commercial traveller remarked
the other day to a storekeeper:

show what you save and what you

you should spread out and where you
should retrench, what you waste and
how you waste it,
But said the stoTekeeper, I've
already got a cash register which does
all that and more

salesman, frowning.

Acme Of Laziness.

A story is told Of a man who held
the Kansas record Tor lRziness. As he
was too lazy to do anything at all, his
neighbors finally decided to bury him
alive. They laid him in the bottom Of
the wagon and started for the Gene
terry. On the way they were met by
a man who asked what they were
doing with that man.
"He won't work, and he has nothing
20 eat, so We are taking him to the
cemetery to bury him alive" was the
reply
Touched with pity, the stranger
said:
Friends, have a sack Of corn
here that he is welcome to-"
Hearing this, the lazy man raised
his head long enough to inquire:
"Is Il shelled?"
mo, it isn't, but"
Drive on" interrupted the doomed
man. as his head disappeared from
view.

No Jury or Lawyer Required and
Appeal From Decisions Of Ar
bltrators Not Permitted.

New York.-The business mems
court of honor, a tribunal without
judge, lawyer or jury, yet recognized
by the laws Of the state, has been re-
vived in New York after lapse Of II
years. The court is conducted by the
chamber of commerce to settle dis
putes among merchants, and, SO far
as is known here, there is no other
court like 1t in the world.
In 1853 the business mems court
was established and for more than a
century merchants adjusted their dis
putes there. In 1874 the Legislature
voted salary Of $4,000 year to
the official arbitrator Of the court, and
when this salary was discontinued in
1895 the body passed out Of exist
ence. Several months ago a move
ment was begun looking to the re-
establishment Of the tribunal, with
the result that several cases have just
been heard before 1t.
To try the average case requires an
expenditure of only $50 or $50, com
pared with the heavy expenses OF
trials in the regularly constituted
courts of the state. The court is in
charge of the chamber of commences
committee on arbitration. The com
mittee selects from the membership
of the chamber list of men qualified
to serve as arbitrator of disputes
who are sworn in by justice of the
supreme court.
When any issue is referred to the
committee for settlement the dis

Bangor, Me.-Ten million dollars

lumbermen at work in the forests of
northeast Maine, New Hampshire and
Vermont and the provinces of New
Brunswick and Nova Scotia this win

600 men and $4,000 horses. The fruits
OF the campaign will be a crop of
z,bOO,OO0,O00 feet OF pine, cedar,
spruce hemlock and birch.
Names logging industry 20 years
ago seemed on the decline The es-
Establishment of mills changed that. To-
day logs have advanced so per cent
In value and wages are higher than
at any other time since the days i'm
mediately following the Civil war.
When the first pulp mills were built
in Maine the lumbermen regarded
them merely as a convenient market
for the smaller trees that were not At
for lumber. These logs were called
pulp wood" and were looked upon
with contempt by all hands, including
the river drivers who navigated them
to the boom. The little logs would
not bear the weight of a man and
were productive of many a cold bath
for those who handled them.
Nowadays 1t is very different. The
pulp manufacturers no longer depend
upon the little logs, but Gull out the
large trees, leaving the smaller ones
to grow and furnish a crop in future
years.
From a small proportion of the total
cut of logs, the pulp stock" has now
increased SO that on some rivers II
equals and on other it exceeds that of
the logs cut for the sawmills. In
Maine the harvest for the pulp mills
will reach the enormous total Of $780,.
100000 feet this winter. The amount
cut for the sawmills will not be far
from 4O0,O0O,000.
In every department of the lumber
industry rapid progress is being made
in methods and in appliances. In the

Louisville, Ky.-Sclonon's rule OF

thirty-fye years ana reared a dozen
children, both applied for a decree.
All the girls In the family allied them

inconsistent with the womans long

large family needlessly to abandon her
husband, as charged, or to falsely &C
