Heavy clouds gathered along about the
third inning. and noticing this the Pat
erson players begun TO play for rain.
The score stood then 10 0 In favor OF
the locals ana everybody knew that the
game would not count short Of five in
nings.
When the hCerubs saw the Patersons
game. they also played for rain, and
when they went 10 bat. hit at every
ball that came from the pitchers hand
in their direction. The result was that
the necessary number of innings 10 legal

Cherubs were VictOrs.
About three hundred people saw the
two teams run up against each other and
for three innings the contest was a good
one. but in the fourth inning the game
developed into a farce. I'm order that the
players could beat out the rain.
Neither team scored I'm tho iirst inning
but in the second time up for the Cher

Joseph Engleby and his four-year-old
daughter. Ella, and j. W Mo p, az.
j. W. Watson. all prominent citizens OF
Roanoke, came near being drowned IN
Peters Creek between the city and Ben

All the parties were en- route 10 the

not anticipate any danger, and conse-
quently drove into the stream their bug

yearly for small repairs, which, if the
farmer only had few tools and a suit
able place in which to work, could
often be saved. Indeed, a workshop on
the farm is a Lecessity-an essential
part of the farm 'machinery-and in
case a convenient spot is at hand the
general farmer can do nothing better
than erect building similar to the
one shown in the accompanying illus
tration.
AS can be seen, it is located against
bank, This affords basement which
for housing poultry and swine in win
ter is not easily, as far as warmth goes,
to be surpassed. The second floor is
for storing various agricultural tools
and implements. from the. hand to the
wheel rake, and from the ordinary
sickle to the moving machine and
reaper, while one corner-preferably
on the sunny $ide--is partitioned off
into workshop. Being equipped with
work bench and heating apparatu s,
the farmer herein can pass many a
stormy day, no matter what the sea-
son of the year is, construc ting berry
and vegetable crates, mending harness
or doing whatever. tinkering work is
required on the farm or in the house.
An extensive set of tools is not re-
quired. Simply a few of the most prac-
ticable ones Will suffice, such. as vari-
Gus sized augers and bits, handsaws,
square and scratch avis and a good
wise, SO that saw filings and the like can
be done. Paint and varnish should also.
be in stock, for then, not to mention
any article which has been made, the
harrows, plow:. cultivators, and, in
fact, all agricultural implements from
which the paint has worn off may on
coming in in autumn or at any other
time be brushed over, and so prevent
the iron from rusting. Furthermore,
there should be kept. a shoemaker's
outfit (it can be bought cheap today,
for this comes handy, in mending har;
ness and SO on. as we'll as boots and
shoes. Best of all, however; the Work
andtools being confined.by themselves,
there is no dirt about, the house or
other buildings while the tools, if not
carried away, are, always in their
place. The truth is. combining two
buildings. thus into one serves two
highly desirable purposes there is
only one roof called for to; cover both
and for the animals housed upon the
lower floor exceptionally warm quar-
ters are provided.-Frederick o. Sib-
ley, in N. Y. Tribune. 10y.
