I was passing; nn evcntiiu; with Jaclc
Harlan, tho noted lundlooker nnd siktii
lator. The latter plinne ot liUoccuia-
I tion, however, has come in luter years.
in tno old times lie was dependent on
his daily toll for subsistence.
He has ft comfortable homo now, n
nice family and an assured income, io
that ho can afford to talk lightly of his
past life while roughing it in tho wilds
of Michigan and Wisconsin.
"Bo you wish 1110 to glvo you iv littlo
of my experience while looking land,
Jim?" said Harlan.
I assured him that nothing would
pleaso me lietter, since I know ho must
have met with some interesting experi
ences during the long period of his tim
ber life. Jack was not glvon to "blow
ing his own bugle," yet at times, under
the mellowing Infiuenco of a hickory
Bro on a winter's evening, ho would talk
by the hour of the woods and his adven
tures therein.
It was a blustry night outside, nnd
Jack sat before tho fire holding little
Boss, his youngest child, nnd smoothing
her dark ringlets with his big brown
hand, I could see that he was in 11 rem
iniscent mood, so I waited patiently for
him to speak.
"Do you know, Jim," he said at
length, "I was never frightened bnt
twice In my life? I havo met with lnnny
adventures, but nearly always I conld
so6 my way out somowhero, nnd man
aged to remain fairly cool through It all.
But on two occasions I quite lost my
head, and very nearly my life."
I nodded as ho cened to sienk, nnd
he proceeded: ,
"It was ten years ago last Novemlier
that Dolph Wetuler nnd I set out on a
two weeks' tramp, looklug land in the
region about tho headwaters of the
Muskegon. Tho weather was cool nnd
tho air bracing, just tho season of the
year for big game, so Dolph nnd I took
along our Winchesters, with plenty of
ammunition,
"We meant to bring down some game,
erai should wo find plenty of timber on
the land we had lwcn sent to estimate.
I was quite a Nimrod in those days, and
would rather hunt than eat.
"On tho afternoon of tho fourth day
wo halted on tho bank of a largo lake.
The land wo desired to look over, on
which we wero to estimate tho amount
of standing pine, was 011 tho opposite,
side of thelake, Togoaround would lie
an all day's tramp, while ncrois tho
water was n matter of only six or eight
miles.
If we only had a bout, Jack,' said
Dolph, 'wo could savo two days tramp.'
" 'We must find one,' I returned. 'It's
not likely this lake has ever lieen plowed
by boatsIndian canoes, at any rate. I
seo n houso over yonder, let us Investi
gate.' We did bo and found an old fisher
man, who was tho owner of a small skirt
in good condition just thothing for our
purpose. The owner agreed to lend the
boat on condition that wo would return
It soon. Of course we promised, and
were soon launched upon tho water.
"We doffed our packs and laid them
In the bottom of the skiff. We each had
a belt, from which hung hatchet nnd
cartridges. Our rifles we placed care
fully ill one end of tho skiff. Tho craft
was small and had but ono set of oars.
I was something of an uthleto in those
days, nnd so It seemed natural enough
for me to take the first turn at tho oars.
Dolph promised to spell mo when half
our voyage was covered.
"We hart gone perhaps a mile from
land when the wind rose aud sent the
white caps tumbling across the in worn
of the lake. At the outset I enjoyed
this. Our little skiff rose and fell like
an ocean steamer on the Atlantic. Pres
ently a great wave sploshed over the
side, nearly deluging Dolph. The wind
was cold and cut like n knife, and I
could see that my wet comrade was
chattering with an icy chill.
" 'Let mo tako tho oars,' he said. I
shook my head. A struugo thrill shot
over me at that moment and I realized
that we were in danger. Onr only safety
lay In keeping the skiff out of the trough
of the sea. Each moment the waves
rolled higher and the breeze stiffened to
a gale.
"Dolph crouched lu tho Mem, his face
blue, his teeth chattering. He was
freezing, while I was inspiring freely.
It was too late to turn back had we de
sired. The water scurried along our
sides, splashing at times over the low
gunwale.
"I dared not look ahead, but kept my
gaze fixed to the rear, upon tho foaming
water and receding shore. Wo must
have been three miles out when Dolph
cried In great alarm, 'We'ro sinking.
Jack!' and I thought the same mjself
for the moment, as the stern of our craft
seemed to Bink down, down, until tho
great waves hung over us with awful
threatening. A bucketful ot water
splashed Into the boat, und then we rose
on tho crest ot a huge wave.
" 'We're nil right yet, Dolph, said I,
although tho smile oil my face was but
a ghastly attempt at pleasantry. At
length I found myself tiring under the
constant strain at the oars. I looked
longingly at Dolph. lie seemed to un
derstand and moved as If tn rite to his
feet,
'No, no, don't,' I cried sharply. 'If
you get itp now we are lostl Keep your
seat. I will hold the ekitT nlone.' Tho
task was a larder one than I had bar
gained for, however. It was n very
difficult matter to dip the oars projwrly
,u - "v
It taxed all my coolnesM and knowl
edge of boating to bold the frail skiff
straight acrow the Iwiliug sea. A sin
gle miunovemeut now would send us to
the bottom. When I realized this I con
fess I felt alarmed. It was yet a long
distance to laud, and I kuew that, strong
as I was, the situation wus destined to
teat my endurance to the utmost.
' 'I I wish I could Itelts you," cliat-
tered the blue lips of my companion. I
made no reply, Imt set my teeth hard
and urged the skiff more swiftly on its
course.
"The wind seemed to rise twoh mo

" 'In heaven's immol' cried I, 'tako off

trembling with the wot and cold. After
some difficulty he managed to reach me,
and with 110 littlo effort succeeded In re

"This seemed n slight relief, yet, ns

From the first organization of the gov

WEAVING WAS AN ATM?

In tho days of homespun four ounces
of lint, cotton or n hulf pound of loci:
wool was n day's stint In spinning,
though n clever spinner could easily do
twice ns much. Wool was often colored
before spinning dyed black or red, then
carded with white. Tho resultant
thread, steel or red mixed, was wonder
fully soft and harmonious in color.
Old silk carefully raveled, then carded
with white wool or cotton, made tho silk
mixed that was such n favorite for the
long stockings worn with knee breeches,
03 well ns for homespun gowns. They
wero woven In checks, stripes nnd cloud
ings. Ono of tho prettiest wns dice
cloth a kind of basket weavo of alter
nate white and blnck or gray threads,
thirteen to the group. I was trouble
some to weave a thread too many made
a balk in tho pattern. Children and
servants had simple checks in bltto or
copperas and white. Linseys for winter
wear woro gorgeous In grocn nnd senr
let and blnck and blue.
Dyeing was part of the homo work, as
well as weaving and spinning. From
walnut hulls, bark and root camo twen
ty shades of brown, Green walnuts nnd
sumach berries gavo n beautiful fast
black that did not stain the wearer.
Hickory bark or peach leaves gave n
glowing yellow; swamp maple, a black
ish purple; sugar maple, n light leather
tint, and oak bark, set with copperas, n
handsomo grayish color. In fact, n
skilled dyer conld get twenty colors
from tho woods nnd fields.
Except for flannels, carpets nnd
blankets the warp was usually of flax or
cotton. A very pretty carrct had half
the warp of coarse wool doubled a
strand of green and one of brown. In
weaving when the woof came upper
most a very coarse wool thread was shot
in. When tho cotton came np n very
fine thread caught and held it almost in
visibly. Beaten up thick the effect was
that of a mossy, clouded Turkey fabric.
Other carpets were woven in stripes or
plain, like webbing, the woolen woof
threads passing over and under the cot
ton warp two at a time.
Size was estimated by the number of
threads that, laid side by Bide, made
cloth tho regulation yard wide. The
coarsest was 400. From that it went up
and up with hardly n limit except that
of the spinners' skill and patience. There
was scarcely anything they couldn't
weave on tb looms jersey and serge,
nnd cotton and linsey, house linen, bed
linen, blankets and counterpanes. The
counterpane was homespun high water
mark. Woolen ones had usually the
flguro in colors skipped up on n white
or blue ground. Those of cotton were
left white nnd bleached till they dazzled
the eyes. Of some easy patterns a
clever woman could weave eight yards
in a day.
Of honeycomb, huckaback and dia
mond draper threo yards was n good
day's work, Fancy patterns wero more
tedious. The crown of skill and patience
was knotted cloth. The weave was per
fectly plain, but at intervals of an Inch
a big soft cord was woven in and pulled
np in little knots all along its length.
Over the body of tho cloth they formed
regular diamonds. For the center they
made an elaborate arabesque design.
Down one side of tho spread the maker
generally drew them up to shape her
initials, with either the date of making
in roman letters or her husband's name
opposite, to balance her own.
There was room, and to spare. Beds
in those days stood four feet from the
floor. Counterpanes were three yards
by four without the fringe, which w s
either woven with dates and Initials In
the deep open heading or knitted In
open lozenge pattern to which deep tas
sels were attached. It fell oyer n val
ance, also homespun, and was either
fringed or edged with netted points at
the bottom.
Weaving was not the sum cf house
wifery In that era. The good dames
knew as much of embroidery as their
favored great-granddaughters. One of
them has left behind her ft monumental
piece ot work, in which can be found no
less than nineteen different stitches,
many of them among the rarest and
most dllncult known.
The netting needle and stirrup filled
up many a daj The bed was the piece
do resistanco in furnishing then. Itwa
a tall four poster, and, besides counter
pane and valance, had netted curtains
and netted points, edging the long pil
low nnd bolster cases. . Window cur
tains were netted, too, besides edgings
and fringes for all kinds of household
articles. In particular the "toilets"
that fell over the high square bureaus
had often u netted fall half a yard deep
around them. In addition, caps, raffles,
purses and fichus were netted. Tho lat
ter were called dress handkerchiefs, and
folded high about the throat over the
low cut gowns. On them the netter
lavished her choicest art.
Sometimes the mesh was as fine al
most ns bobbinet. Netted capes were
high In favor, but the square with long
ends was accounted better for yotnic
women. Sometimes they had fringe or
tassels about the edge, or even a ruflle
of the net with a big pattern run in.
The handsomest finish was embroider'.
For that the net was tacked smooth
over cloth, the figures were wrought
through both, then the under fabric
were cut away, leaving something
closely approaching old rose point.
The women who practiced these arts
made tatting, knit lace, stockings, mit
tens, tnfted gloves, overshoes, comfort
ers, garters, galluses and many things
beeides. Before their work follow
them It might be well If some collector
should gather up and keep cafe for later
