~"cRocKER's FoLLY.-
A High Fence Buut by a Millionaire q
Spite an Obnoxious Neighbour.


A High Fence Built by a Millionaire q
Spite an Obnoxious Neighbor.
The $50. 900 wall around the Hopkin,
castle at Great harrington, Mass, is
not a new idea. About fifteen years
ago Charles Croker, n of the ''bie
four" Central Pacific railroad mag
mates, made a similar Improvement.
Croker built himself a mansion on
the brow of Mob hill, San Francisco.
The palace covered almost an entire
block.
A gentleman whose name is lost tc
fame had a modest mansion in a corner
lot of that block. Croker coveted
that lot. but could not get il { his own
price. He was somewhat incensed be
cause he, a millionaire, was baked in
purchasing what he wanted at his own
price. The people of that vicinity were
astonished on seeing a board wall being
built between Crocker's palace and the
gentleman's modest two-story frame.
The wonder grew with the fence, which
was built 10 the height of the roof Of
the cottage.
This wall totally shuts out the light
from the west, also the sun after mid
day. The gentleman appealed to the
courts, alleging that no person had the
right to construct anything, even
though upon his own premises, which
would interfere with the rights and lib
critics Of another; but the courts held
differently, though it was admitted by
Crocker that the fence was useless. and
he could give no other reason than
spite.
The gentleman removed his laundry
from the back yard to the roof, and
every day the family linen was flaunt-
ing in the breeze from his own house
top, which somewhat spoiled the view
Of the Croker family as they gazed out
upon the bay and dispelled the TO
nance of their evening ~promenades on
the eastern piazza.
Under the ruling Of the court the
gentleman had a right TO make an un-
slightly nuisance of the roof Of his
house. But he proposed to do more.
He inscribed upon his banner, mo
compromise, " and refused 10 sell at
any price. He was on the I've Of rent
ing his house & o "a Chinese theatrical
company when the proud Croker or
dered his wall 10 be torn down.
This wall, known as 'Crockers
Folly was one Of the objects q curl

thousands of citizens also. -Chicago

Why is it that so many ~stenogra-
pliers who write shorthand rapidly and
operate a typewriter at the rate of fifty
or more words per minute fail to attain
half this speed when copying from
shorthand hottest IL is because they
take a small eyeful Of notes az a time
when fouro or five words are just enough
10 get them into the swing Of rapid
operating. and then they have TO stop
TO Find the place" There is no reason
why an operator should not copy as
rapidly as he can write from dictation.
IL can be done either by acquiring the
ability to operate without looking at
the keys Dr. by taking a large eyeful OF
notes at a time.
Practice viii enable one to remember
an entire paragraph Begin by taking
a line at a time, and gradually increase
the amount. When you have struck
your limit. say. for instance. six lines,
take the precaution to write your short
hand notes In blocks of six lines, drop
ping a line between each block. This
will enable the operator to readily find
the place where he left of. Some
operators are able TO write the last few
words of a take" without looking az
the keys, the eye being occupied in re
plenishing from the notebook. The
latter is Miss Orr's method, and thus
the machine is kept constantly in mo
ton from the beginning to the ending

affected will be apparent to all -Har.
