WALKS EIGHT-INCH BRIDGE
Aiaskan Tie-Cutter Totes His Product
Across Narrow Footing, Disre
garding Great Danger.
Carrying railroad ties on one’s
shoulder over an eight-inch footing
across a canyon 30 feet wide, with
150 feet of vacant space between the
log and a rock-torn mountain tor
rent at the dark bottom, sounds like!
» the spectacular stunt of a circus per
former, but it is the daily practice
of Ed Martin, a tie-chopper, who
lives at Crow Creek pass on the gov-1
ernment’s new railroad in Alaska,:
writes a correspondent to the Pitts
burgh Dispatch.
Martin has a permit from the for
est service to use timber on the north
side of Devil’s gulch to make ties for 1
the railroad, but the railroad re
quires that the ties be delivered on
the right of way, and to do this the
gulch must be crossed. For this pur
pose Martin felled a small 6pruce
tree from brim to brim, and, when
he finishes a tie, shoulders it and
packs it over.
A party of hunters appeared upon
the scene a few days since, and, not
daring to attempt the frail cross
ing themselves, asked Martin why in
the name of all-possessed he did not
fell a safe footing across the chasm.
The tie-cutter replied that for his
purpose an eight-inch log wa6 as
good as an eight-foot log, and it had
not occurred to him that it was dan
gerous.
BLENDED WITH SCENERY.

BUTTING IN.
Fond Mother (as the train left for
Camp Grant)—See that yon don’t
sleep in a dump bed, and, George,
don’t put on damp clothes.
Unkind Comrade (interrupting)
—And, George dear, see you don’t
drink out of a damp glass!
A RELIEF.
“How do you suppose our boy
likes being in the trenches ?''
“I am sure he likes it,” mused
Mrs. Comtossel. “It must be a great
relief to Josh to be able to get his
feet as muddy as he likes without me
making a word of complaint.”
LOCATED.
“Where was your old man
wounded ?”
“In the abdomen.”
“Where's that?”
“Don't know—somewhere in
France, I suppose.”
REVERSAL OF FORM.
“What's on the menu?” asked the
hungry man.
“Well,” replied the waiter, “a few
articles of food are mentioned. But
most of the space is taken up with
government instructions on what not
to eat.”
Mr. A. B. Best who has been
in a hospital in Little Rock for
several months for treatment of
a broken limb, is home now.
Rev. J. R. Nelson was in Mem
