When the lumberjacks gathered round the fire on the long nights or the odd days when work was susâ€" pended, tales of Paul Bunyan helped to while away the hours. There were .dn Many a tiresome boaster has been sidetracked by the words, ‘‘Oh, that‘s nothing! W hy Pautl Bunyan â€"~* and then would follow a tale that could not be beaten in regard to how Paul had done the work quicker and better, or that Paul Bunyan had a speed, and skill and strength, that makes all other boasting vain and simple. The fact is that Paul Bunyan is the one homeâ€"brew hero of the Canadian logging and lumbering camps. _ He was originally in Nova Scotia, nut like so ifiany there he moved eventualâ€" ly to this North Land where his chief fame centres. _ Anyone who dottbts this car be shown the man who workâ€" ed last summer for Angus Taylor, Limited, on the construction work of the ‘f. .

This man said that Pautl made his morning eyeâ€"opener in a 45â€"gallon barrel so that he wouldn‘t be dry before breakâ€" fast. Another thing this man emâ€" phasized to prove that he worked for Paul Bunyan was to mention Paul‘s economical spirit. In writing, he said, Paul never dotted his ‘‘i‘s‘‘ or crossed his "‘t‘s"‘‘, and by this he sayâ€" ed twelve barrels of ink each year. Paul Bunyan was the hero, the solâ€" ace and the help of all the lumbering ramps of this North Land.

The animal was s that the camp washing was re dried on the animal‘s horns. likely the horns had even a stretch than that. Oncee the ed boulders down bhig hillsides, and running alongside of the rolling bou!â€" ders, they sharpened the axes on the rushing stones. Paul and his axeâ€" men did great work but they ate a lot. ~It took a lot to feed them. The cook‘s helper used to strap a couple of hams to his feet and skate over the top of the stove to grease it for the pancakes. It took seven men steady wheeling away the prune stones from the camp. The chipmunks that ate these stones would get so big that they chased the wolves from the counâ€" try and often were shot themselves in mistake for moose. The dining room was so large that when a man told a yarn at one end it grew so bhig before it reached the other end that it had to be shovelled out. The doughtnuts were carried from the kitchen on poles two men finding a dozen of the doughâ€" nuts a heavy enough> load, exeept after dinner. After making a big hole in the Queâ€" bee forests, Paul Bunyan, according to the lumber camp history books, came over to Ontario. \~Here lie gathered round him his famous axeâ€" men who were almost as good as himâ€" self. These axemen could not broâ€" ther wasting the necessary week‘s time to grind their axes, so they rollâ€" around so much in his sleep that he destroyed several miles of standing timber, so they built a cradle for him and anchoxed it off the coast of Nova Sceotia. He rocked his own eradle and caused such a tide that several villages were washed away. To wakâ€" en him up the British navy had to be ‘alled out and they fired broadsides for hours, but when Paul stepped out of his eradle he sank seven warâ€" ships, and so the British Government seized his crade, from which they were able to build seven more ships. _ It was the rocking of Paul‘s ceradle that caused the tides in the Bay of Fundy, and they haven‘t stopped yet. Asa boy and young man, Paul Bunyan spent considerable time in the lumber camps of Quebec.: As a bushman he was noted as being supreme. He did not waste time chopping trees in the ordinary way. Instead he had an immense doubleâ€" edged axe made for him, and this he hung on a rope. Using this as a farâ€" mer uses a seythe he cut an everâ€"widâ€" ening swath through the forest just like cutting oats for a Seotsman‘s porridge.

The Wawbewawa correspondent of The New Liskeard Speakey last week says :â€"‘"A few settlers from here left last week for the north, having taken pulpwood hauling jobs for the winter.

In this way he never tired, and would chase deer until they fell eaâ€" hausted. Because of the peculiarity of his reconstruction period, Sport was known as the reversible dog. The age of Paul Bunyan is uncerâ€" tain. _ From the length of time he spent at various camps he must have been well up in his hundreds when he lived in Haileybury, but he moved so mnuch faster than most men that he may not have been that old. He was reputed to be a handsome fellow, but no lumberjack has yet been able to say definitely whether Paul was ever married or to what extent. However, he is the hero of the North Land woods.

One mother thus describes her method of handling the situation:â€"She tells her children that ‘‘Santa Claus"‘ is the way the English people pronouncâ€" ed ‘‘Saint Nicholas‘‘ years ago. In Holland where St. Nicholas lived the people called him ‘*Sant N‘clos®" and this became ‘*‘Santa Claus‘‘ on Engâ€" lish tongues. Saint Nicholas was a wonderfully good man. He had been a bshop and at Christmas Eve he alâ€" ways gave all the children gifts so that they would know they were loved and remembered. After he died he was made a Saint, and his friends felt that it would be nice to earry on his good work and be as his servants. The children realize that no one pexâ€" son could deliver gifts all over the country in one night, therefore he must have many servants, and as the best servants of all wear their masâ€" ter‘s uniform, so the Santa Claus costume is worn by all who do the beautiful work of Santa Claus. So, in many parts of the world people are assisting Saint Nicholas in his work. This mother says that the children readily accept the work of the servants for the real Santa Claus. She tells of a case where at a Christâ€" mas Tree one year the children reâ€" cognized the gentleman in costume as a wellâ€"known man in town. ‘‘*I knew there wasn‘t any Santa Claus,"‘ said some of the yougsters, but her little girl‘s comment was, ‘‘Why, Mr. Soâ€" andâ€"So must be one the Santa‘s sexâ€" rants too.‘"‘ EXPLAINING SANTA CLAUS TO DOUBTING CHILDREN EGYPTI{\IN IMENT Many mothers have Mr. W.
