south sides of the entire chimney. No
matter from whence cometh the lightning
stroke, it must find one OF the ten points
and go harmlessly into the ground below.
This enormous weight of s, $40 tons rests
on a concrete foundation, which caps a
forest of 1890 40-foot piles, which have
been driven to en- average depth of 81 feet.
The concrete cap over these IS 90 feet IN
thickness ard s. feet square.
This chimney is considered to have been
a slucky" ono, according to the traditions
associated with the story Of chimney con-
struetion. Not a single accident has oc-
Cured since it was begun-a very uncom-
mon record.
As a final comparison 1t may be mem
toned that the 427 foot chimney in Gias-
gov does not equal this n in diameter,
although it is considerably taller. The
closest rival in America of the big New
York chimney Is the chimney OF a smeit-
ing works at Denver, which is something
more than 800 feet high.

The Rev. E. s.. Forbes, curate of the
church, said that the members We're in

They believed it a good idea to V the

Exnert on Upper Lips.

One of the favorite pursuits Of DR..
Oliver Wendell Holmes. says Youths
Companion, was the tracing of genealo-
gies and family traits and characters. A.
the opening Of the term of the medi-
cal class one year, while he was one Of It's
lecturers, he met for the first time a
young member who introduced himself as,
let US say. a Perry. of Cambridge.
The little Doctor looked at him keenly
and said:-eYou are also one of the VS.
of Cape Cod? I know it by your upper
lip"
The young man flushed and made haste
10 answer that he never had heard Of the
VS. ana did not know any person on
Cape Cod.
But the Doctor smiled obstinately, ard
at Intervals through the winter would
inquire whether Mr.. Perry had looked up
his ancestor, receiving each time the as
surance that inquiry had been made, but
no trace of this strain of blood could be
found in the family.
One day Perry came to him.. You were
right. DR.. Holmes. We have found IN an
OLD Bible record that my great-great-
grandmother was a W.. and came from
Cape Cod"
The doctor beamed with delight. y
upper lip ever deceived me YETI be
.l~aughingly exclaimed. and carried his lit
tie triumph to all Of his friends with as
much pleasure as If it had been a long-lest
treasure.

Lively Time In store
Brigham Fl. Roberts, the Mormon con-
gresham elect from Utah, is a figure of
considerable interest. He is charged with
practicing polygamy, and it is expected
that an attempt will be made to expel him
from the house of representatives on that
ground. 1t is understood that Mr.. Rob
erts does not definitely deny the charge,
admitting that he has three wives, but de-
tends himself by asserting that the Utah
enabling act went no further than TO pro-
hibit future ~polygamous marriages.
Mr.. Roberts has been in politics but
seven years. He has been prominent in
the affairs of the Mormon church for a

there head downward.
Other Mexicans galloped behind this one,
approached the bridge on foot, firing as
they advanced. Smith flew over at the first
volley and the AK flew from his hands.
Grab it quick, my boy" he gasped.
They've hit me In the leg. Two more
blows and she's gone"
Lane dropped the musket and seized the
ak. A bullet cut viciously past his ear and
another sang with a chug in the green
crosspiece at his feet. Putting all his
strength into the second blow, he brought
the AK down. With a terrific crash the
bridge gave way, and second later he was
struggling and choking in the icy water.
One end of the bridge, now a buoyant
raft, floated against him. He seized hold Of
a loosened crosspiece and drew humself up
to it. In the gray light of the early dawn
he could see Smiths head bobbng out of
the water on the other side.
The view of the Mexcans was soon cut
off by bend in the creek, and the two men
whred on for miles in midstream before
the raft was caught by an eddy and
whsked into smooth backwater.
Suddenly deep boom sounded over the
hills to the northward. Another and an
other followed in quick succession. Then
came crashing volley and a faint yell.

which is made to move on wheels. and It Is
then driven around the farm. The first
impulse of the buffalo. as he feels himself
dragged along against his will by force
that he cannot resist. is to lower his horns
and let drive with blind rage at the wood
work in front of him. After he has tried
this experiment for half an hour or so and
finds that he has made no impression on
the enemy. while his own horns have been
pretty nearly demolished in the attack. he
reasons with himself. after the buffalo
manner, that at last he has met more than
his match. and decides to adopt different
methods of attack.

that he is trying to raise. There is no such
trouble. We turn the herd out to pasture
with merely a barb wire fence to keep
them from straying. We have yet to find
that they make any effort to escape. The
only thing to guard against in building the
fence is to make 1t just high enough to
prevent the animals from jumping over.
This is one of the things that we have to
teach the calves at an early age. Taken
in hand young and properly trained, they
become as tame as the domestic animal.
Up to the age Of two years the calves are
inclined to be frisky, and have TO be
taught that any attempt to jump over or
break down fences will meet with prompt
punishment. They very soon learn that
lesson, and once having learned 1t they
give us no trouble. provided the fence is
properly constructed.

the buffalo farm is the buffalo wagon,
