Always Made Sale.
Making his way laboriously from
camp to camp and village to vii
lage went "Old Hickey" as he was
afectionately called. He was a
small man with curiouslv hiob
pitched, husky voice and a new
conner often laughed when Old
Hickey came up with that old
query, Got a ticket?" But the
newcomers came to know him and
to learn that if they wanted to es-
cape buying a hospital ticket, the
only thing they could do was TO
hide In the woods till he moved
on to another camp. For Hickey
would not listen to excuses. Either
you had ticket or you had not.
and If you had not, it was a mortal
sin in Hiekey's eyes-a sin that
he never let go uncorrected.
The little old man bullied them
browbeat them into buying his
tickets, and many a careless linn
berjack broken near to- death law
on his cot at the hospital at Ash
land and gave up thanks that
Hickey had made him buy a ticket
and saved him from the pauper's
ward.
He never drank did Hickey and
has strongest swear word was
"damlt," but he limped fearlessly
into the saloons and gambling
bells of upper Wisconsin to make
the boys buy his tickets. or per-
chance to-, rescue some penniless,
drunken wreck Many are the
stories of how he got those drink
burned ruins to the train and ship
ped them off to the hospital.
Never Coveted Money.
He had no conjunction about
taking lumberjack's money out
of his pocket when he was drunk
and putting back ticket. 1t was
a fierce religion with him. He took
care of them as if they were his
children. For himself he did not
want money. 1t is said that all his
savings were turned Immediately
back to- the sisters who maintain
the hospital. AS far as can sbe
learned he had no relatives and no
friends except his boys, as he call
ed them. Time after time, when
he could not handle drink crazed
man In one of the numbering
towns, he would rout out the mar
shall and make him get a posse,
if necessary, to subdue the shat
tered wreck and load him on a
train bound for Ashland. And
when Jack returned to the
woods again, Hickey would torture
him about drinking, and bully him
into buying ticket for the next
year.
Hickey's morals were curious.
The lumberjacks tell many stories
of how men were crushed, near to
