at first you have subconscious
memory OF the first time you went
to a circus and saw an ape. Then he
settles down to sleep and warns up
little you get to thinking of the
time you visited the fertilizer plant
when you were at the stock yards
in Chicago When you have counted
up sixteen reasons why that bunk
was vacant, at last you fall asleep
and dream of being in the boiler
room of saw mill. Just as you are
wishing that the boiler would blow
up and end it all you wake up with
a crawling sensation in your left
armpit that reminds you of still
another reason
After you have dreamed of firing
the boilers in glue factory, rem
dering lard in a slaughter house, and
spending a million years 11l-"Welp,,
the bull cook yells ROLL OUT and
you get up and go to the door and
drink in your lungs full of the best
and purest air that ever was out
doors. 81 wonder where they get
such good air to use in the woods
anyway"
After washing in the same old
wash dish and wiping on the same
old towel, after threshing it around
a post to timber it up little, you
attempt to comb the hay out of your
hair but find that the comb is Gov
cred with some kind of sticky sub
stance that leaves only about an
eighth of an inch of the ends of the
teeth available for immediate use
After making your toilet as per
deacon seat till breakfast is ready
when you will be delighted to find
that instead of the greasy stew
of yesterday you may have some
nice greasy pancakes for breakfast.
Some morning after you have re-
peated this program few times
y
place you can mention and a tenn
perature of 140 in the shade You
will tell your troubles to the bull
cook who will be all solicitude and
will tell you that you can get either
a porous plaster Or some horse lini-
ment in the Wannegan and that you
can have all the fire you want if
you build it.
When you have been under the
tender care of the bull cook until
your fever has burnt up about half
the blankets in your bunk you will
begin to inquire about the chances
to get to a doctor; you will find that
all you have to do is to get right
onto the tote sled and go down the
hay road, as the tote team is going
right down the next morning. It is
only about 20 miles to the station,
and it won't be more than 40 below.
When you get out don't go to your
doctor friend who told you that the
lumberjacks troubles are all caused
by booze or you might say something
that would hurt his feelings.
1 don't mean to imply that all
lumber camps are run in this way
as many of the larger camps are
very comfortable and the food is of
the best and we'll cooked, but | have
been in small camps within the last
couple of years of which the above
is, to the shame of Wisconsin, a
very fair description.
Hoping that l have not tired you
with this long letter, and asking
all to send their old magazines to
the camps, l am

THEY LOOK TO WILSON
FOR PEACE PROPOSAL

Berlin, May "a, via London, May
25.-A wireless dispatch from the
United States giving the substance
of President Wilson's speech at
Charlotte, n. c., in which he refer
red to the possibility of American
mediation in the war, is given the
place of honor in the morning pa
pers. The afternoon editions return
to the subject and their comments,
together with the wide interest
shown by the German public, show
how important this news is regarded
here.
Though definitely stated nowhere,
there is little doubt that Germany is
willing to consider a tender of good
Offices to inaugurate peace negotia-
lions. The former attitude in the
highest quarters that America had
disqualified herself as a peace me-
diator on account of her shipment OF
munitions to the allies, has now
changed.
If President Wilson can hold out
any tangible possibilities that peace
may result through his mediation,
Germany will undoubtedly be will
ing to consider such suggestions as
he may offer. This receptive atti-
tude is naturally subject to the con-
dition that Germany is not jockeyed
into a position of announcing her
readiness to accept President Will
sons good offices only to find the al
lies later rejecting the tender and
asserting that Germany is suing for
peace.

REPUBLICAN LEADERS
OPPOSE COL. ROOSEVELT
Eastern Kentucky q. 0. P. Men
SteadiastIy Holding Out
Against Teddy.

Winchester, KY, May 29.-Tha'
the old-line Republicans of Kentucky
will bolt Theodore Roosevelt If he l:
nominated for President at Chicago
seems evident from the position ia
ken by some of the party leaders In
this section of the State. On top OF
the announcement by Judge John
II. Hardwick, of this city, delegate
from the Seventh Congressional dis
trict to the Republican National
Convention, that he is not only un'
alterably opposed to the nomination
of Roosevelt, but will refuse to sup
port him in the event that he is
nominated for President at the Chi
cago convention, comes the authori-
tatiye statement of Coli Green Gar
rett, of this city, Republican Rail-
road Commissioner for the Third
district, member of the Republican
State Central Committee and one OF
Kentucky's recognized Republican
leaders, that under no circumstances
will he vote for Roosevelt for Presi-
dent, even though he is the nominee
of his party.
The fact that Judge Hardwick
and Col. Garrett take this extreme
position, is taken to indicate the
strong sentiment that exists in
Eastern Kentucky, the Republican
stronghold of the State, against the
nomination of Col. Roosevelt.
A few days ago Judge Hardwick
received a night letter from Detroit,
signed by a dozen of the Michigan
city's big business men, assuring
him that since Roosevelts visit to
that city short time ago. the SEN
timent had changed, and in spite of
the peace propaganda of Henry
Ford, the Sage of Sycamore Hill
was by far the strongest candidate
with the Michigan Republicans. The
wire urged him for the sake of true
Americanism to support Roosevelt.
Judge Hardwick notified each OF
the signers yesterday that under no
consideration would he support
Roosevelt for the nomination, nor
give him his support should he re-
ceive the nomination. Judge Hard
wick is considered close, politically
to Railroad Commissioner Garrett

HILLES ON ROOSEVELT
WHAT TEDDY MAY DO

Chicago, May 29.-In speaking of
the probable action of the Progress
sive National Convention, called to
be held June in Chicago simulta-
neously with the Republican Nation
al Convention, Chairman Hilles said:
II imagine everybody assumes
that the Progressives will nominate
Roosevelt for President. If the Re-
publican Convention adopts a
straightforward, sincere, ringing dec
laration of the vital public questions
now being discussed and dominates
a man clearly equal to the important
tasks which will confront the next
President, Roosevelt might not
think there would be any need of his
entering the field. But II the Re-
publicans nominate a man who Mr..
Roosevelt thinks Is a misfortune
and adopt a platform which he re-
CARDS as bunk he may feel SO out
ragged as to run and perhaps help re-
elect President Wilson"

RECORD FINE IN BLIND
TIGER CASE Is IMPOSED

Stanford, KY, May 27.--So far
as known the heaviest fine ever in
fiicted in a court i'm Kentucky for
violation of the local option laws
was assessed in the Lincoln Circuit
Court to-day against Charley Reid,
a white man of Milledgeville, in the
western end of this county, who was
handed $4,000 and costs by jury
for conducting blind tiger. On q
second case Reid got of light. the
jury fining him only 500 and forty
days in TAIL.
Reid proved so clever, evidence to
convict him could not be secured
save when Uncle Sam got him last
year for failing to take out a Gov
eminent license.
When the Rev. Enos Waggoner,
Methodist pastor at Moreland,
brought down a witness against
Reid to go before the grand jury
Reds father, John Reid, caught the
youth in an unguarded moment and
spirited him away in a buggy. A
warrant for the elder Reid was Sc
cured at once and Sheriff Weather
ford deputized the Rev. DR.. Wag-
goner and the Rev. ID. NJ. Walker,
the Christian church pastor here, as
special deputy sheriffs to arrest the
elder Reid and bring back the wit
ness. The latter proved too fleet of
foot for them, however, but they
brought back Reid, who was hailed
into court Immediately and fined
5000.
