A HERO OF
IHE USES
Iu u wine 'back of Juneau a ma
chine inan auU helper drilled four
teen holes iu the wall or face of
solid rock. The holes were loaded
and the machine man lit the fuses
while the helper was clearing away
some tools. Just when they were
all burning a slab of rock fe«ll
from above and pinioned the ma
chine man against the face where
they had been Orilliug. He could
not escape. In a moment the ter
rible blasts would complete the
tale. .The helper Beeing the pre
dicament opened his pocket knifo
aud began cutting the fuses. W-heu
about one-half through a second
rock fell and hroke his arm. He
took the kirtfe iu his other hand
and finished cutting the fusee, aud
then called lor help to extricate tbe
machine man. That was an ex
ample of presence of mind and real
bravery.—Douglas Island News.
ADAM AND EVE Kl'X
BAREFOOT IX THE SNOW
Portland, Me.: Adam and Eve
are shivering in the suow in,- the
Maine woods!
They're barefoot and tore shoul
dered, hut they're cheating just a
wee bit. They're wearing deorskin
jackets against the blizzard.
Adam and Eve In city life are Mr.
and M'rs. Walter F. Estes, but for
the duration of their forest exile
tney have taken the names of pur
biblical forebears.
A few wecka ago they entered
the dense forests to act out the
sort of existence which must have
been 'hat of the reel Adam and Eve
when they were the only two hu
man beings in the world. And,
tush! When they started they
wore oractlcally nothing at all.
To all intents and purposes, the
Estes, like Adam and Eve, are alone
in the world, too. Except for a
courier, who brings word of their
safety now and then to Portland,
they sec no human being from week
to week.
And, undaunted by the wintry
gales, the)- Intend to continue liv
ing .ilone by their wits and their
woodcraft until the middle of De
cember, bittar as the weather
may become.
Ksti's has long been famous in
his home town of Gray, Me., as a
woodsman. Ho believed that, lost
in the forest, without so much aa a
match or knifq c<C civilized manuEac
turo, or a shred of human, clothing,
he cculd not only survive, but actu
ally enjoy life. Mrs. Kates took the
dare to try the experiment with him.
And in unison they declare that
their forest experiment has been the
hupplest period of their married life.
'"Our first Job on entering the
woods," said Estes, recounting their
experiences, "was to; cover our
selves. We took big loaves and
wovq them together in long Btrlngs
with grass. Then we tied them
about our shoulders and waists.
Later -we made suits of birch bark,
covered with leaveB and -when we
finally caught a deer In a trap we
wo re able to make the suits of skin,
which we wear now in rough
weather.
"The next task waa to build a
firo. I' took me about 20 minutes
rubbing two logs briskly together to
get a spark from which I could light
a dry leaf. Mrs. Estes slep* that
night on the ground In a downpour,
while 1 stayed up and struggled to
keen a fire going.
"The next day we got our shelter
bull*, and since then there has
br.*cn no .hardship about our life. It
is easy enough to get food. We
bowl over rabbits and porcupines
with rocks, we catch trout In the
streams with a birch bark trap,
there are scores of edible roots
and greens, and there's our bread."
"How. In the world is "bread
made?" Estes was asked.
"It's an odd eort of oreau," ue
answered, "but it is good.- When
wo caught our first deer In the
deadfall, -we oared his blood lu a
bark nail until it jellied. Then we
pounded up roots with, it and baked
It In loaves. You'll find it tasty at
luuch,"
The Estes use sharp Btonea for
knives. It was with one of these
tools that M«. Estes" locka were
chopped off against a tree trunk
when she found they annoyed Iwr.
Her woodsman husband's tangled
Titian hair is now longer than
hers. \
LOGICAL?
A live graaohopper will eat a.
dead grasshopper. A Missouri
farmer mixed parla green and bran
together and let a grasshopper eat
it. It died, and 20 ate it "up, and
they died. Four hundred ate thoese
20, aud they died. Eight thousand
ate those 400, *»nd they died. A
hundred and sixty thousand ate
those 8,000, and died, and the farm
er was troubled no more.—Ex.
