When the Sleeper Woke.

There is prominent lawyer in New
York who finds an after-dinner nap
an absolute necessity. He cannot keep
awake and the habit of drifting of for
few moments, no matter where nor
how, brings him frequent embarrass-
ments. Recently his wife saw him
doze while talking to a distinguished
Judge who was their dinner guest. but
she was clever and quick enough to
divert the visitors attention to her
self. SO that the lapse passed unno-
ticed at the time. Unfortunately. just
as the host regaihed a stupid half
consciousness the guest rose to de-
part. The lawyer stepped forward
with his most courteous greeting.
How do you do, Judge?" he in
quired, smothering a yawn. why,
never saw you looking better. I hope
you're going to stay to dinner with
us?" -

Shantymen Of East Canada

the contours de conte, the impression
is gained that those of the early lum-
bering days were of the toughest and
most formidable character-physical
giants, with whom the shantymen Of
the present day would be but miser-
ably contrasted. From ,truer. though
less romantic. sources, 1t Is found,
however. that those old bushwhackers
could not chop more logs in given
time than the present day lumbermen.
In fact, the whole system OF log max
ing in eastern Canada is. with few ex-
ceptions, the same today as it was
some so years ago.-British Columbia
