The HOUSE THAT JACK BUILT
A Mule For a Partner and What
Came of It.
A TRUE STORY.
iRy Ida M. Tarbeli.

Copyrighted, 1896, by S. S. Mcclure, Id.
The house that Jack built is still
standing for this is a true story as
any one will find who will read the
records of the County Of Belmont in the
State OF Ohio whera it is written al
most as have told ii.
Jake Heatherington was an English
miners boy. Indeed he might have
been called a miner himself, for from
thu day he was seven years old he had
spent sixteen hours out of every
twenty-four deep down in coal mine,
never going to school, rarely seeing the
sunshine. Jake did not mind. His
father did the same, so did all the men
and boys he knew and probably he
would have gone on to the end OF his
life thinking and caring very little
about a life above ground if, wlen he
was about fourteen years cid, his father
had not decided to move to America.
As this was nearly seventy years ago
the journey across the Atlantic was
very long. For the first time since a
qittle child Jaha knew what beautiful
thing it is to be all day in the sun and
air. to watch the birds and the sea.
When he reached America there came a
long trip by wagon and 1lat-boat to his

The house was begun and during the
months it was building Jake went every
day to see it. Often his friends and
rich visitors went with him and al
ways he said, yes, sir, it's a fine 'un.
but the credits to Jack. He's built it,
sir" and so all up and down the river
the new home came to be known, great
ly to Jake's joy, as the House that
Jack built" But Jake was not salts
fed with having his partners name at
tached to his home he wanted his dear
faca and tender eyes and great sympa-
thetic ears in it, and so he had splen-
did head of the mule carved in stone
and put up as a keystone to the fine
arched portal. Then he was content.
SHOWING THE HOUSE TO JACK.
When at last the house was done Jake
refused to take any one through 1t un-

he returned one day from a short trip
with a partner.
THE PARTNER.

He INTRODUCED his companion as Jack,
and when the next day after his return
he drove his coal down to the wharf in
a new cart 10 which Jack was hitched,
he was the proudest man on the river.
He had right to b proud of his new
partner Jack was the sturdiest little
mule in the Ohio Valley. He was only
three and half feet high, but he was
as stout as oak and Jake himself hadn't
more pluck. TT ore was no load so
heavy that Jack wouldn't do his best TO
draw it: there was never a hill he
wouldn't pull up it; and as for being
afraid of whistles and noise and crowds
Jack SIMPLY gloried in them and al
ways pushed into the thickest of every

The Great Western Band to Give Two
Sacred Concerts Mt Mozart Park.
The Sunday Register mentioned the
fact that a movement was on foot to
have the celebrated Great Western
Band, of Pittsburg, stop here for one or
two contests during its concert tour,
and it can now be stated definitely that
the excellent organization will give two
grand sacred concerts at Mozart Park
Sunday, May 18th, afternoon and even
ing. The band is made up of thirty
five carefully selected musicians and
has been strengthened for its tour OF
all the largest cities from Boston to
Chicago, and one of the finest musical
programmes ever given in the city Is
anticipated. The afternoon concert
will begin at 2:30 and at night at 8
O'Clock. An entirely different pro-
gramme will be given at night from that
of the afternoon. The price Of admis-
sion has been fixed at % cents, includ-
ing a reserved seat and the round trip
on the incline, which is extremely low
for such an elegant attraction.

A COMPETITIVE COMPANY
In the Telephone Business at Urichsville,
o.. Attached for Debt.


Information was received last night
that the United States Hunnings Tele-
phone Company, competitor OF the
Bell, at Uhrichsville, O., had been at
tached for debt in that town, and that
its affairs would probably be wound up.
The Company has been offering cheap
telephone, in competition with the Bell,
with the inevitable result Of increased
cost and more bother to the public.
1t is the settled policy Of the Bell
Company to reduce prices wherever
these competitive companies appear to
a point lower than the rates of the new
companies, this being done, as a mat
ter of course, for self-protection. But
with the two rates cut to half the orig
inal Bell rate, the subscriber who wants
to be connected with everybody still
has to pay as much as the original price,
because he must have both phones,
with Just twice as much trouble as he
had before and no corresponding bene-
fit.
