ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
KING Of THE CAMP
BY JEFFERSON JOHNSON.

There was anarchy in the lumber
camp before Jan Sorenson appeared.
A lumber camp without king is like
a hive of bees without queen. When
Sorenson's six feet lurched in at the
door, however, all knew that their
ruler had arrived.
The bosses knew it too and rejoiced,
because they would be able to get
twice the output daily. There was no
attempt to dispute Big JAMS king
ship. There was nobody In camp that
could have stood up to him for thirty
seconds. He was cased in immense
muscles that rippled and bulged with
every movement.
The nearest camp, twelve miles
away, had king too. 1t was natural
that he and Sorenson should meet.
Dozens Of pairs Of socks were waged
upon the battle, but it only lasted
minute and half At the end of that
time Sorenson, with half dozen
yards Of footgear round his neck, the
trophy of his victory, va sponging
the blood from his PROSTATE enemy's
eyes.
After that Sorenson was king as far
as the limits of the spruce timber
belt, and he reigned unchalenged. A
tyrannous king he was, too, drunken
brute without reverence for anything
except a man who could stand up and
take a thrashing. Big Jan was kindly
to the enemies he beat.
Far away to the south spread the
rumors of Sorenson's fame. And the
next south wind brought back reports
Of mighty man Of battle in a south
ern camp thirty miles away. He was
Scotchman, and his name was Andy
McTavish. Sorenson heard of him
and drank less, and lay awake at
night in his bunk, dreaming impossi-
BILE insults.
1t seemed impossible for the two
kings to meet. Once Sorenson put on
his snowshoes and covered the entire
distance between dawn and dusk. But
1t happened that McTavish was away
fifteen miles in the interior, working
an engine Sorenson left his chal-
lenge and went back.
Presently the answer came. The
two men were to meet in April, when
The Lakeland evening telegram., 1914-08-19

the numbering season was over, at a
point halfway between the two
camps.
Father Flynn. who had heard of
the project, tried to dissuade Soren-
son. He did not mind a fight, but he
objected to one attended with so
much bitterness as this must be.
Even Sorenson dared not offend the
sentiment Of the camp. which was
warm toward Father Flynn. So he
concealed his contempt for the sky
pilot under as decent language as he
could muster, but refused,
The two men met at the appointed
lace. McTavish was an older man.
but bigger and even more muscular.
They fought for five and forty min.
utes In the center of a yelling crowd.
At last both ceased from WEAKNESS.
There were still two kings in the lum.
Der country.
I'll meet you on Christmas day, =
snarled Sorenson. between his swol-
len lips, and McTayish. who could
not speak, nodded SO the two kings
separated and went their ways.
Sorenson did not forget. He ceased
drinking in September and devoted
himself to training, He did not even
smoke. The thought that there
might be another king in the lumber
country was intolerable to him. The
story of the impending fight went all
up and down the land
Jan" said Father Flynn, you are
going to fight McTayish on Christmas
day. You are going to try to MAIN
him, so as to be the strongest man In
the country. Give it up. Jan, or you
will regret it"
That time Jan Sorenson let loose a
flood of blasphemy on Father FTynn's
head. All his pent-up rage broke
loose, and be felt in the padre an
enemy only second to McTayish
Father Flynn waited till he had done
speaking
| JAM he said quietly. God doesn't
permit man to grow too big for his
boots. You are trusting in YOUR
strength and you are trusting IN a
broken reed"
Sorenson, still cursing, turned into

NOT THEIR STRONG POINT
Literary Taste Of Schoolboys Seems
to Be Chiefly Remarkable for
Its Absence.

Literary taste Is rather an inherited
birthright than an acquired possession.
1t may be cultivated and improved
wherever it has been implanted, but
to plant it in the nature of the ordi.
nary schoolboy calls for both genius
and patience. The author Of THE Ro-
nance of Northumberland" in com.
menting on the literary associations Of
Flodden Field, is led to reflect on the
reaction Of the schoolboy to litera-
ture.
Coercion Of the youthful British
Philistine to read inspiring verse can,
| presume, do no possible harm, and
some of the seed may fall on fertile
ground, take root and prosper. The
dismal task, moreover, seems occasion
ally to be rewarded by mental revela'
tions that from teachers standpoint
would easily redeem a wasted hour,
A friend OF mine, not very long ago,
was giving a lesson in English liter

youths who have long outlived all in
tellectual ambition are apt to vegetate
in cheerful apathy, until their waxing
stature or downy chins make the situ-
alton reproach to themselves and in
tolerable to their preceptors.
The subject was "Marmion" On
the suggestion being made to one OF
the most invincible dullards that he
should give his view as to what Scott
meant by The battles deadly swell, "

and with sublime innocence of any hu-

the rural bind over to Jung's Corners

with that community of lawless roy

placed their instruments in small

The Lakeland evening telegram., 1914-08-19

Then when the last number was
played off the program. they again
stored their instruments and accepted
the invitation to supper from the pro-
prietor Of the place.
Jed noticed half dozen fights In
progress as he was the first Of the
party to go after his instrument. When
he got into the poorly lighted store
room he rolled his bulky drum near
to the door 1t was quite heavy and
he usually asked some one to help
him when 1t had to be carried. Just
then he paused and bent his ear sharp

room. II was bolted. Jed unslipped
the bolt.

little one, putting up her thin waver-
ing hands. "Oh, Mr.. Hawkins Please
take me away from here. I've been
locked up for week and heard them
say they were going to take me further
from home tomorrow"
"Do just as tell you" whispered
Jed, an exciting thought coming into
his mind.
Then there were some strange and
rapid movements in the room and

and took up his instrument, Jed sang

Go easy-thats it" and he gave q
great breath Of relief as the big drum
was hoisted aboard the carry-all.
He sat well back In the wagon near
to his precious drum, when they got
started on their homeward route. Jed
was nervous. for he bent his ear many
time anxiously as II seeking for
signs Of pursuit.
There were none and as the horses
reached the top Of the last hill over.
looking the home town, he pulled the
drum towards him. He unstrung its
great moon-faced top.

half dozen voices.

commented Farmer Brown, when he
came to know that Jed Hawkins had

pretty daughter, Nellie.
