BEAVERS DO MICH MISCHIEF
Property Owners IN the Adirondack
Arc Uneasy Over the Situation
They Have Created.

Because the limited intelligence
Of the beaver goes no further than its
own immediate purposes, owners Of
property in the Adirondacks are wish
ing that the beaver was less indus
trious and seriously wondering what
Is to be done to stop the increasing
number of these willing workers from
decreasing the value and beauty Of
this famous region. The forest rangers
Of the conservation commission, says
writer In the Albany Journal last
summer estimated the undesirable re-
suits that had followed the building Of
nearly 600 beaver dams, and found
that an area Of about 1851 acres had
been flooded, and something like $751;
600 worth Of good merchantable stand.
ing timber was being destroyed. Con.
sidering that the number Of beavers
now estimated at about $4,000 is be-
lieved to be increasing about 1900 a
year, the damage bids fair to become
a serious problem. Not only do they de-
stroy valuable timber, but they are
steadily changing the character Of the
Adirondack scenery along the water
courses and altering the shore line OF
the lakes; yet the region without any
beavers at oil would not be the Adj,
rondacks as nature made 1t and as
those who now go there to enjoy it's
beauty like to find 1t. Time was when
the beavers seemed likely to vanish,
and the state took them under it's pro-
lection; now the danger seems to be
that they are SO we'll protected that
they will eventually "come back in
numbers out of proportion to the
normal population Of beavers when
the Adirondacks were subject to the
conditions of life in a wild country.

Ice cut with a Gas-priven saw.

.
For the purpose Of cutting ice ex-
peditiously during the last winter,
there was devised a saw of. an auto
mobile type power plant and circu-
lar saw at the end Of an adjustable
arm, so that the saw can be raised
and lowered to the desired degree.
The saw is pushed along on steel run
ners, the operator behind furnishing
the motive power. A double lever
arrangement just over the handle
bars serves to control the raising and
lowering Of the saw. The portable
saw In question cuts the ice into 20
foot squares. These squares are
guided through the water to gang of
four circular saws, which cut the
squares into the regulation sized
cakes.

HER LIFE FOR HER PUPPIES
Airedale Never Hesltated When Called
Upon to Make the Supreme
Sacrifice to Duty.

Again a mother has given her life
for her young.
This time the setting Is the San
Francisco waterfront, down where
whistles scream, hoists squeal and
rattle, engines chug and there is me-
chanical ensemble of industrial noise
the long day through. The principals
are dogs-a wiry-haired Airedale
mother and her four puppies.
A scow was home to the canine fam
lily. One day a swell overturned the
basket in which the pups lay, and ov-
erboard they went. There was no
human aid near. But the mother
leaped to the rescue of her drowning
offspring. One by one she brought the
little pups to safety. But before she
could reach the last one it drowned.
Men found her on deck, still holding
the body Of the dead puppy, and with
the three others scrambling and whin-
ing around her. The mother was too
exhausted to move. They sent for a
physician, but when he arrived the
rescued pups were orphans.
To the burden of her own six pups,
an Irish setter who lives aboard the
same scow, has added the care OF
three foster Children, the orphans of
the Airedale mother

DIDN'T QUITE GET THE IDEA
American Travelling Man
Remained Hungry.

Baron Rempei Kondo, president Of
the Japan Mail Steamship company,
said at dinner that he gave recently
in New York:
"The japanese are a very clean
people. l know an American traveller
who will testify to this.
'"The traveller, half famished, made
his way one day into teahouse in a
remote japanese village. The geisha
girl ushered him into a spotless, airy
room, and brought him a cup of I'M
sweetened tea. AS he could speak no
japanese, he tried to explain by signs
that he wanted q full meal, but the
girl, though she smiled politely, failed
to understand.
$50 the traveller thought he would
resort to another means. He took out
his notebook and pencil, drew a fish
and an egg, and handed the drawing
to the geisha. This time she laughed
delightedly, clapping her hands and
ran from the room.
"The traveller was pleased. He
waited cOntentedly for his meal.
Five or ten minutes passed. Then
the door opened, and two attendants
staggered in with a portable bath,
brimful of hot water, and a cake of
soap."

Jananese Paper Undertaking

An excellent and durable quality Of
underclothing has been made of fine
grained paper by Japanese manufac-
turers. After the paper has been cut
to a pattern, the different parts are
sewn together and hemmed, and the
places where the buttonholes are to
be formed are strengthened with cali
co or linen. The paper is very strong
and at the same time very flexible.
After a garment has been worn few
hours, it will interfere with the pers-
piration of the body no more than do
garments made of cotton fabrics. The
paper is not sized, nor is it imperme-
able. After becoming wet the paper Is
difficult to tear. When an endeavor
is made to tear it by hand it presents
almost as much resistance as the thin
skins used for making gloves.

Washington. Jan. 23.-AS result Of
the clash between a detachment Of
American soldiers and Semenoff fore
es January 10, near POSOlsakya, one

TRUSTING.

They dug his grave in France,
But his bones are all that keep in II;
He heard a coachwhip calling
In the she-oaks by the bend,
They dug it deep and wide enough
There's half this section sleep in 1t.
The night wind crooned above him,
And 1t called him like a friend.
They laid him down to sleep,
But he could not take the rest of it;
He heard the stubble Crackle
And he smelt the drift of smoke.
oh, harvest-tide and plowing-ume,
He had to taste the best of it,
And sweet the strength of toll is
When you've learned to love the yoke!
They dug his grave in France,
But Death could not keep hold of him;
His youth was ripe for mating
And it's joys were sweet to miss;
And all that's leal to love in him,
Aye, all that's best and bold of him,
Is waiting at the sliprails
For a lass he used to kiss.

self besides prescribing it to his patients,

RU-NA, myself for catarrh and have
given it to others for catarrh, bloating
after eating and other ailments. 1t has
proved a success in all cases with old

we'll of PE-RU-NA. 1t is the best of all
tonics."
