HANDY WAGON BOX.

avery handy arrangement on the farm
or on the road for hauling loads of
grain, wood, tile, etc.
ia The main frame or bottom Of wagon
box consists of two scantling by
inches and any length, according to
length Of box desired, although 12 feet
makes very desirable length. These
are joined together by 2 by cross ties
pinned at the ends into mortises The
iron sockets on the sides which are
made to hold the 2 by standards on
the side boards can be made by any
blacksmith out of an old wagon tire.
Ia The side boards may be made any
height to suit the purpose and may be
planed and painted or put up in the
rough. There are several styles of end
gates, and any Of them can be used to
suit the taste. The end gates may be
fastened in with an end gate rod or
hooks and staples used.
ss A box like this can be made tight
enough by flooring the frame carefully
SO taat any grain or shelled corn may
be hauled in it. 1t can be built very
cheaply and where farmer is handy
with tools should not cost over $1.5O,
as nearly all the material may be pro-
duced from the farm excepting the
hardware.
However, if the material be pur-
chased it should not cost over 81. A
very handy feature about this box is
that when not in use it can be-folded
together and set aside out. t.of the way.

Fancy work to hold its devotees at

apparently fits in better than the ere

Of today would hardly be recognized by
our great-grandmothers as such. In
place Of the laborious processes with

with exactly as in embroidering with
silk in the usual way, with the differ
ence, however, that the ribbon fills

imparting raised appearance that adds
greatly to the richness of the finished
work.
1t is we'll known that except in the
hands of g very skillyd worker double
roses do not look weldin solid embroid-

single wild rose therefore is universally

THEY WANT ALIMONY.
One Suit Filed and Another to BE
Heard This Afternoon.


As the time comes for the Superior
Court to resume its sittings alimony and
divorce cases begin to pile up. Mrs Bir-
die Hays filed her suit for alimony yester-
day against her husband Harley Hays.
The plaintiff alleges all sorts of things
in her petition, saying he has used vile
language to her, has cruelty treated her
and beat her. and finally not only aband-
oned her, but drove her from his home.
She has a little child which is still In
her custody. There is no suit for divorce
pendiug. and she asks the court TO grant
her reasonable sum, both as temporary
and permanent a6mony.
The case of Annie Dukes against Will
lam Dukes for alimony viii come up be-
fore Judge FalNgant in chambers at 4
o'clock this afternoon. There is a suit
for divorce pending in this case. The
allegations of the plaintiff are somewhat
similar to those in the case above mem
toned.

those who saw the play are to be condoled

There is not one bright thing In the piece
to recommend IT, unless 1t was a bit of

the play is faulty. The dialogue is dun,
at times almost crude, and there is not a

The story, OF course, hinges on the de-
struction of the Maine and the war which
followed Consul General Lee and Gen.
Weyler are prominent characters. There
is a conniving Spanish woman and a Gu
ban girl refugee. The character of The
typical American girl is a fiippant crea
ture and libel on American womanhood.

no effort was made TO quiet 1t. During the
