KFPT FUNDS FOR WOODSMEN.
OncLctcr ?s a Walking Bank for
Reckless Workers.
"For more than thirty years the
most popular woodsman's bank In
J Maine was a bank on two legs," says
| M&j. Holmes Day, author of "King
Spruce." "Until he was over seventy
years old Uncle Nate Swan was con
| luctor on the Bangor & Piscataquis
J railroad, running between the city and
| Moosehead lake. With him rode the
j woods and driving crews. When they
i forgot themselves and made a racket
| on his train he used to cutf them Into
I submission and no man ever raised
j his hand against Uncle Nate. When
I the men came out of the woods with
j their pay most of them realized from
] bitter experience that the city folks
would get all their money away from
them in a few days. As soon as they
would get aboard the train they
would begin to strip ten-dollar bills off
their rolls and hand the money to
Uncle Nate to sink' for them—bank
ing it on call. They never forgot, nor
did he: and in all the years there was
never a dispute between Conductor
Swan and any of his depositors. When
they came back on his train they were
sure of enough money for their fare
and their tobacco at the lake outfitting
store. They wouldn't have known
very well what to do with more."

HE TOOK NO CHANCES ON EGGS.
Man with "Hen Fruit" Refused Admit
tance to Theater.
A theatrical company that played In
repertoire in country villages barred a
citizen of a town, not long ago, when
he entered the theater with a basket,
after having purchased a ticket. Just
as he was going in, the cover of the
basket unaccountably slipped off, re
vealing two dozen eggs.
"HI!" said the ticket taker. "This
Isn't Easter! Where are you going
with them eggs?"
"None o' your business! Here's my
ticket, all paid for an' reg'lar!" de
dared the citizen.
"Well, you don't take any eggs inside
while I'm here," said the ticket taker;
and then the other saw the reason his
burden was suspected and roared
with laughter.
He left the eggs In charge of the
man at the box office and entered; and
he enjoyed every moment of the
show. When it was over, the manager
returned the eggs to him, and said:
"I was afraid you might put your
foot into the basket while you were
applauding."—Modern Society.
