THE ESCAPE OUT OF THE JAWS OF DEATH
AS Days and Nights Through the Enemys Country

Comrades of that long escape
Of days and nights of pain
Should these lines ever reach your sight
Recall that scene again.
The days and nights of ceaseless marching
Through the heart of the enemy's land;
With burning tears of deep emotion
| can see that shoeless band.
Hurrying through the forest pathways,
In the dread of the silent night
With the hush Of deep death spell
lowering around us in the fight
Yet we turned not from our reckoning,
But onward pressed among rocks and briers,
With bleeding feet and limbs uncovered,
Trying to evade the picket fires
Fed by friends the man in bondage,
Fleeing from the white mans door;
From their rebel masters larder,
They our furnishing forms did restore
And we told them of the north land,
Of the hope they might retain
And the songs of Halleujah
Echoed o er the southern plain.
When the mountains foot was near,
The rocks were desoate and bare;
For days and nights we wept for food,
Till we found the Union mans door
At last we reached the mountain heights,
Far above the forest S depths;
Where the eagles flight reached out of sight
From the fearless hunters steps.
And there we saw stream Of light,
Far across the Tennessee plain,
Whose golden hue made diamonds of dew
That fell from the trees like rain,
But oh, when the light of the golden sun
Lit up the valley below;
And chased away the mists from the EARTH

freight cost which is down out of

the freight which is paid on the finish

ourselves to this discussion to incom-

enters into the cost of manufacture
and not into the cost Of delivery after
the machine is made.

long to discover that there are really

ering that 1000 feet of oak IN the con-

ship il, weighs $500 pounds and that
one thousand feet Of pine weighs
$500 pounds, we can begin TO sense
how deeply the recent freight advance
affected the cost of lumber as laid
down in Chicago. In fact, the addi-
tional freight bill in dollars and cents
as prescribed by the new rates Is
ss-95 for a thousand feet of oak, s5-6S
for a thousand feet Of pine and $500
for Thousand feet of hickory.
But that is not all. There is also,
as in the case of steel, considerable

Of 1000 feet of lumber. II is known
that il costs approximately $3.50 to
freight the logs from the railroad spur
70 the mill for thousand feet Of
hard woods as produced under Inter

where logging operations are depen-
dent upon the railroads the freight

of oak lumber before the recent rate
increase 1858, an amount equal to %
per cent of the present price of that
amount of oak lumber. With the new
rate, the combined costs for freight
on 1000 feet of oak have jumped to
S2249, an amount equal TO approx
mately 80 per cent of the price of the
undelivered lumber. The combined
frcights of pine under the old rate
amounted to si5.75 for a thousand
feet, or 26 per cent Of the present
price, and under the new rate they
have jumped to s22 40, or 81 per cent
of the price of the lumber. The old
rate on thousand feet of hickory
gave cost for freight and absorbed
freight of $500, 81 2-3 per cent of
the present price, and the new rate
makes a total of $3.50, an amount
equal to II % per cent of the pur-
chase price.
