looked alike to him that day-for he peeled that $1O0 bill off along with the other yellow backs" to the hardy hunter. Now, those were the days when grateful big game hunt CT could appreciate and celebrate such a generous gift, or even with $10, for next day the lucky hunter saw Arthur on the street-and grim ming happily, waved his hand to the philanthropist, Hello! hic, hic; hello, MT. Williams!" Good bye to $S0!
 OH, WELL, After band practice THAT'S one day last week NOTHiN' Clarence Burglin, one of Gorbracht's young hornists, went into the Arcade to eat a lunch. He set his big tuba horn to one side. on the floor. "Did you get that roll that I put in your horn?" someone asked. Clarence stopped as he was about to sit up at the counter, looking surprised. What d'y' mean, you put a roll in my horn? didn't see any roll.' Well, put one in there before you left, it must be there yet" "No, , said Clarence, "it can't be in there, I've been playing on it all evening" Look and see." the man suggested Just to show the man his mistake, Clarence took up the big brass in. strument and shook it-nothing drop. ped. Then he gave it couple of turns and, presto, out onto the floor rolls mister stale roll!
 sAWDUsT The good old days RULES when men met and GOVERNED settled their differ. ences by natures weapons and the best man got the decision and the spells have been |relegated to the discard for many years and in it's stead courts of law have been established for the as. serting of rights. At some period in persons life the primitive blood springs to the surface and for the time being feels the blood of his ancestors coursing through his veins and civilizations training is off Quite recently the owner of saw mill leased his plant to another person for the production of lumber. Prior to the leasing another man, like wise engaged in the saw mill busi ness, had purchased all the lumber | which was on the ground of the mill | owner. Due to some misunderstood l ing or provision in the lease the pur chaser of the lumber was supposed to have the right to the use of the ground on which the lumber was standing. The lessee of the mill, ac cording to the terms of the sale made to the lumber purchaser, would have had no place on which to store his material when cut and accordingly took the privilege of using places not occupied by other lumber for his use A protest was entered by the pur chaser and a consultation was held between the three parties, lessee purchaser and owner. For some time the discussion went on, waxing warmer with each succeeding word until recriminations became such that the primitive man rose to the surface and the owner and purchaser went to it" with the lessee as time keeper, referee and stakeholder. The stakes-well, that was the battle field. Modern tactics were employed under old-time rules. The number oi rounds were several, that is, they went around each other. At last one of the combatants made lunge al the other with his fist. The other fellow got his eye on the blow, saw it coming very plainly. By the time he got his eye away from the blow it was closed-the eye. Incensed al being struck in an unguarded mo ment he waited until his opponent took look at the timekceper anG retaliated by a similar blow, to the eye. making honors even. After sparring for several minutes one ol the battlers saw an opening, between two lumber piles, and made for it leaving his winded opponent standing on the ground; neither defeated nol victorious. AS honors were even the damage done being the same and the objective not being gained the unanimous opinion of the referee was a draw. Unless some other means are taken to settle the dispute it may have to be fought over again as mat ters of this kind can not be left un decided.
