ElKS ADOPT "BiLL."
Ate So Many Clothes He Had to Be
Corralled.

Bill" the outlaw elk of Yellow

of New York Lodge +. p. o. e., says
Yellowstone Park. Wyoming, dis
patch.
Bill had been in disgrace. His
crime lay in being too tame. Residents
of Mammoth, where park headquarters
are Iocated, spoiled Bill by teaching
him to eat from their hands. From n
pet he became Il pest. SO tame was
he after q season or two that he no
longer joined his brothers and sisters
in their wanderings about Yellowstone
and became an outcast
Also his tastes degcnerated. They
became almost goatlike. The day
came when no laundry hanging from
the backyard clotheSline was safe
from his appetite. His special taste
was for little silken dainties. So they
locked Bill up in Il corral and there he
has remained.
Then came the crowd of New York
ElkS, visiting the park on their way
home from their recent Los Angeles
convention. A group of them visited
the corral, where a number of calves
are also kept.
Hello, Bill" cried one of an ap-
preaching group Bill knows his name
and thinking he was being summon
ed, hurried up for food
| so surprised was Patrick McGrath,

THAI he dropped a slip of paper he had
been holding with other mail, in his

LANGUAGE OF THE WOODS.
Lumbermen Have Lingo That is All
Their Own.

Their Own.
Workmen in the great woods Of the
Pacific coast have a language all their
own that is not understood by the un-
initiated.
A "faller" is the workman who
falls" the trees, and a good faller can
always fall his tree so that 1t will
drive stake that he has previously
set into the ground.
A QUICKER" saws the tree into logs,
and the process is called "bucking a
log" A sawyer" always works in the
lumber mill, and he saws the logs into
lumber. A "filer" files the saws and
keeps them sharp.
The "hooktender" in logging camp
puts the chain around the logs so they
may be hauled in with a donkey en-
CINE. A chaser" follows the log as 1t
is being dragged in, a "swamper
keeps the roadway clear for the logs,
and a "sniper" cuts off the sharp
round corners of the logs so they will
drag the easier. A "choker" is the
cable line placed about log.
A "highclimber" in logging camp
is the workman who goes up the Jog
ging mast to place high lines" from
the donkey engine. The skid greas-
er" puts grease up skid roads that the
logs will slide more readily. The
whistle punk" operates the donkey
engine whistle and signals the work
man with it. A donkey" is station
ary engine with cables that long ago
replaced oxen in log handling in the
west.

water held in place by boom sticks y
In former times the word "bul'
fighter" was commonly heard. 1t ap'
piled to the man in logging camp
who had demonstrated his superior
ability with his fists in numerous en-
counters with his fellow workers. This
expression is no longer heard, loggers
say, because fighting in logging camps
is a pastme in which workmen nc
longer indulge. A fight Is now a rare
occurrence in the woods of the coast

GARTER SNAKE A SUICIDE
Hangover Was More Than Little Rep

One of the most remarkable Incl

since August, IL, IS17, when, it Will
be remembered, the famous man-eat-

happened the other day. Little Donald
Dwiggins, young son Of Claire Dwig-

Well, In some way Donald found
a bottle a quarter filled with hootch
He thought 1t would be nice to place
that on sale, too, though he had no
idea what it might be. He put 1t on
the counter. Then sun struck 1t and
the cork popped. Some Of the liquid

Soon afterward little garter snake
came humping up. He or SHE snifred

II then drank that portion OF the
liouid which had fizzled over, follow
ing which it formed hoop by seiz-
ing it's head with its tail, no; tail
with its teeth, and rolled around the
counter three times.
1t was the little fellows own pecu-
liar way of shouting 'Whoops!"
And then If it didn't climb up the
bottle and go inside, drinking copious
draughts of the portion. In while 1t
emerged from the bott'e,' did a snake
dance to small sapling and twisted
itself around that sapling. It's express
sion seemed to say so plainly:
"Whoopee! Give me q sock, I'm a
garter!"
OF course it wasn't a garter at all;
it was merely garter snake. Then
it looked angrily around as If look
ing for some foe. It's expression now
seemed to say: Bring me st. Pat

Then the sad part came. The poor
thing finally grew very morose and
placed it's tail on it's stomach in a
mournful way. 1t looked at Donald

SCARED BY A SKELETON
Dancing Bones Caused Real Panic
on Broadway.


Some one, somewhere in New York,
has lost a skeleton. 1t Is a perfectly
good skeleton, all wired and with a
spike in it's head. 1t is described rs
a woman's skeleton, of uncertain age
and when last seen was wearing q
black necktie, relates a recent New
York dispatch.
The skeleton appeared on Broadway
shortly after o'clock last evening,
and for more than an hour terrorized
women, children, chorus girls and
dogs, scattered restaurant patrons and
interrupted traffic.
Johnnie Berry, thirteen, Of No. 1O5
West 6Sth Street, and half a dozen
companions discovered the skeleton
propped against tree in vacant lot
adjoining the College Of Pharmacy at
No. lis West 6Sth Street. The idea
of the black necktie, as an ornament,
occurred. first to Johnnie. 1t was come
one else who thought of piece OF
rope. Then the procession moved.
Across the street it halted and the
skeleton was placed on the bottom
step of the flight leading to the door of
q house. Two women, about to emerge,
fed, shriekins, back indoors.
Johnnie and the skeleton moved
west toward Broadway. They paused
at the Harbor Inn Restaurant at the
corner of 69th Street. The restau-
rant was we'll filed with diners. Then
the skeleton appeared at the door. 1t
moved, It danced. Johnnie and the
boys danced too. Women screamed.
covered their faces with their hands
and rushed to the rear of the restau-
rant.
Patrolman Schnaidle of the West
6Sth Street station gasped and rubbed
his eyes. The transparent figure was
certainly doing a dance-a dance In
the altogether, and Broadway morals
were in jeopardy. The patrolman act
ed promptly.
Straight across Broadway went
Johnnie. And also across Broadway,
trailing at the length Of rope went
the skeleton. Also across Broadway
went Johnnie's companions. After
them went the patrolman, who COL
Jared Johnnie. Then he collared the
skeleton and next he gathered in some
of Johnnie's friends. Together they
started for the 6Sth Street station.
For one block down Broadway the
party progressed with the boys carry
ing the skeleton.
They paused at the next drug store.
Two girls, each with dog, had paused
to see what all the excitement was
about. The bulldog was first to see
the skeleton. He gave one howl and
fed. The Perkinese was close Sec
ond. The girls screamed, then start
ed in pursuit of the dogs. The skele-
ton and it's bearers proceeded.
The crowd increased. 1t numbered
several hundred by the time the sta
ton house was reached and the skele-
ton was Introduced to the lieutenant
at the deEk.
He telephoned to the College o.
Pharmacy. The ownership of the
skeleton was disclaimed.
And at o'clock this morning when
the doorman of the 6Sth Street station
arrives he will be welcomed by the
skeleton, which has been proppeo
temporarily against the doors.

 A meat grinder is the one essential in making it at home. Buy three and 8 half pounds of lean pork and two and a half pouns of clear fat pork and put this through the grind er using a coarse knife. The sausage that one buys tn stores is generally
