James Bell is a lumberman who Las
been ia tike wood of Mianesota end
Wisconsin for many years. It has been
hi business lor several decades to "run
camp" ia the winter; which is to say
that be taies from 60 to 73 lumber
Jacks into the foreiits from December
to April and holds them down by
weight of authority and muscle and
makes them do their work of felling
and driving out timber. IIehaseeni the
vast masses of pin melt before the ax
and just now is cutting hemlock be-
cause so pine grows says the New
YorkSun.
"The lessening of the number of
wild Animals and the difference be-
tween the sport a man could have tie n
and can hare now" Bell says "are as
great aa the change in the forest.
There were a hundred deer them where
there are ten deer now there were a
thousand partridges where there are
ten now and as for the fisbes they may
be said comparatively speaking to
have almost disappeared from the wa-
ter. .......
"Men come into our north wood of
recent summers and flib industriously
with improved modern appliance for
two weeks and if they catch. two nru-
kallonge a day avers giug ten pounds
each they go back home thinking Uia-t
they have bad great luck. They have
some of the ten-pounders stuffed and
hung up in their dining-rooms and
point to them with pride.
"I've seen the time when a man
would get irritated if a fikh of only ten
poundtt got hooked and was caught.
He would either kill it in spite or throw
it bock w ith a curse-. Nothing less than
25 pounds went then a a mu&kallonge
catch and there were lots of big fel-
low brought to gaff that ran above
40 pounds. I've seen them taken that
went over 50.
"I remember being some years ego
on the Flambeau river just below the
spot where the town of Tark Fall
stands now. A dam had been built
aero the ttream to bock the water up
so that there would be a full head on in
the spring when the ice broke and we
would w ant to float the logs out to the
t'hippews.
"The dsju was built in the fall with
iiwRttve water-light gates and- to see
how it. would work when finbsbed we
shut the pat down one day. That
had the effect of stopping the water
from above and naturally the water
below ran away with great swiftness.
It went so fatt in fact that the fiVh
did not know what was happening
and in a little while they found them
selves in the holes among the rocks of
the bottom witb mighty little fluid to
keep them alive.
"You never mw the like of the bass
and niukVallongp. particularly the
muskies. Their backs were everywhere
showing above the water and they
flopped on the rooks and jumped two
feet high sotuetime trying to rwape
from the new enen.j that had them in
his grip. Maybe a thousand were in
sight.
Ve wanted fUh so the bunch of us
sailed in. Svme of ut had pea vies and
some cantrookn and mme clubs and
some nolhin but their hande and we
hoisted the great flt-h out of theirholes
by the hundredweight. The pursuit
lasted some ten- minutes; then the
gates were raited and the lower level
flooded and such fUh as were left got
way all right.
"t don't know how many we caught.
but not lea than 500 ant bow and
while we did not stop to tepnrate the
bur ones from the little ones they
would average easily ten pounds or
o. rive thousand pounds of mtu-kal-longe
meat i a tijible pile and T sup
pose that I and the mm w ho were w ilh
e are the only h'nnan heinps who
ever w that m vet of it tog-i her. We
uiti sot take any of the ha mey ere
too small game."

The Easy Pill
DeWitt'a Little Early Risers do not
gripe nor weaken the system. They cure
biliousness jaundice constipation and
inactive livers by arousing the secre-
tions moving the bowels gently yet
effectually and giving such tone ani
strength to the glands' t the ' stomach
liver and bowels that the cause of the
trouble is removed entirely. These
famous little pills exert a decided tonic
effect upon the organs involved and if
their use is continued for a few days
there will be no return of the trouble. A.
