Can American exporters of lum-

Can American producers of cop

Why He Bolted-

At one Of the London clubs ono
evening Mr.. Montagu Williams met
Lord -, who had just lost his fa-
ther. The young lord was naturally
melancholy, and the lawyer pro-
posed visiting a theater opposite,
which proposition was accepted.
There was a slight fire in the thea
ter, whereupon the young lord was
among the first to bolt, like a rab-
bit" or Of the building. Return
ing leisuTely TO the club, Mr.. VIII
liams found there his young friend
quietly smoking a cigar.
"What on earth made you bolt
that way? You seemed frightened
out OF your wits mot a difficult mat
ter perhaps) Don't YOU know that
on such an occasion If everybody
got up and rushed out a panic would
ensue, with very likely fatal conse-
3uences? Why on earth couldn't
you sit still, as ! did? There was
nothing serious the matter" Upon
this, with the most patronizing air,
the young gentleman replied, "Oh,
yes, that's very well for you, but
you've not just succeeded to q peer
