THE LOG-ROLL) NO.
Aa Old-Tim Concluding Demonstration
nd Ranqueu
Reader, did you ever form one of a
party of old-time log-roller? To the
city folks and the latter-day people of
easy hablU, the very name may f ound
Btrange.but I assure them that nothing
else ever done afforded people a more
genuine admixturo of fun and bard
work I bun log-rolling. To-day, the
generally accepted signification of the
term is to the effect that somebody is
tampering with Congress or the Legis
lature to secure the passage of some
personal measure. In the good old days
of pioneer simplicity it had another.
A man purchased a heavily timbered
tract of land and set about reducing it
to a state of meek and lowly submis
sion to the plow. He and his sons and
nephews and brothers ground their
axes and went into the forest to sweat
to the low bass notes of ten degrees be
low zero and hew out a farm. Thev
chopped all winter long and carried oil
the best timber to the saw-mills, and
split some more of it into rails with
which to fence in the clearing, and left
the tough and gnarled logs lying where
they fell, and the brush piled in great
beans to be burned. All through the
chill and biting winter, the trees fell,
and logs weie trimmed of their brush,
and with the first promising days of
spring, came the log-rolling the grand
concluding demonstration and bitmjuct
of the season.
The word went out that Sam Smith
would have a log-rolling on a given
day. There were no gilt-edged, blue
bevel invitations with the words "at
home" printecTon them in type which
nobody could read, but Sam Smith's
boy was sent around to tell the nearest
neighbors about it and their boys spread
it at the singing schools and spelling
schools, and the announcement was
read from the pulp.t of the country
church on Sunday, and so everybody
was bidden to Sam Smith's log-rolling
the women to aid in cooking, the
men to aid in gathering the useless tim
ber into great stacks to be burned. The
women brought kettles and dishes,
knives, forks and spoonsj the men
axes, chains, yokes of oxen and strong
bodies. By sunrise the clearing was
full of busy men. The seductive "whoa
haw" of the ox engineer smote upon
the morning air, and the logs
were snaked along the muddy ground
to the place where the heaps were
to rise. The men and teams were di
vided into squads, each squad to erect
one heap. Sum Smith bossed the job
and did not lift a pound. II s principal
duty was to sit on a convenient stump
and shout "heave, o heave!" which he
usually abbreviated to "he o he," to
encourage the m n when they had
an extraordinary heavy log to "bo put
upon the already high "heap. The eti
quette of these gatherings did not per
mit him to lend a hand, although when
twenty men could not lift an unusually
heavy log to its plaee, it was his duty
to declaro that he could easily do it
himself. This was generally accepted
as a challenge of strength, and the men
lifting would strain their lights out to
plaee the log.
By two o'clock, the logs were all in
and the clearing looked bare and
stumpy compared with what had been
its appearance in the morning. Si.m
Smith mounted the highest log heap
made, and delivered himself of a tor
rent of thanks to his neighbors, closing
by inviting them to go to the house
and eat a "snuek." The snack was usu
ally one of the must bounteous dint c s
ever spread. There were no frosted
cakes and tine confections, but
there was plenty of chicken ai.d
as good bread and rich gravy
as were ever made, and mashed
potatoes, and beans and hominy, and
ham and eggs, and canned tomatoes,
and dr ed green corn, and pickles, and
stewed, jammed, marmaladed, jellied
and preserved fruits and berries, and
lucious green apple pies, and pumpk n
pies, and cook es, and fresh milk and
doughnuts, and as good appetites to
eat them as were ever sharpened by
hard work, and when all were so foil
they had to unbutton their vests, the
box of home-spun smoking tobacco
was brought out and the jug of old rye
was passed, and the men fell to spin
ning yarns while the women ate and
cleared away the fragments of the
meal. At four, the men again repaired
to the clearing, and the torch was ap
plied to the heaps of logs, and when
darkness came on, the old folks went
to their homes and left the young ones
to enjoy burning the broth and spark'
ing. 1 he next day there were some
sore muscles in the neighborhood, but
no headaches like those experienced by
the revelers of to-dav, and Sam Sin th's
clearing was ready for the plow

The Sea of Galilee.
One of the first things for which I
looked here was the fishing industry;
but I found it not There is evidently
only one sailing vessel on the lake, aud
but a very small handful of clumsy row
boats. When one of these boats gets
out of order there is general consterna
tion, it is said, for the art of shipbuild
ing is no longer known here. When
we sent our servant to-day w.th instruc
tions to procure Galilee fish for dinner
he was unable to find a single fish in
the market. This is especially strange,
inasmuch a I have had positive evi
dence that the waters swarm with pis
catorial life to-day, just as in the days
when Christ called Ual.lean nsliermen
to his discipleshin.
Yet tishinrr is still carried on here on
a small scale. Even last night I saw a
boat mish out to sea with nets aboard
just as Simon did no doubt when he
was bound to "toil all night" at the
same business.
This leads me to guess or, at least, to
hope, that the citizens were not quite
so lazv and worthless in thedays of the
Son of Man. Thev could not have
been any worse. The modern Galilean
would ride two-thirds the way around
the lake on the ragged bark of donkey
or camel rather than display the enter
prise required to effect a crossing in
one-sixth the time by boat Stupidity
and cupidity are everywhere linked in
a wav that sorely tries Occidental
patience. Cor. .V. O. Times-Democrat.

If you were to move about among

suffered at the hands of some one in the
