when he offered his services to the
American congress he was only 20 years
old. Although so young and ineXperi-
enced, he belonged to one of the most
powerful families of France, and his
influence at court, through his wife's
relatives, as well as his own, was of the
greatest assistance to us.
In offering his help to congress, he
purposed to bear all his own expenses
in the campaigns. Congress was poor,
and his services were gladly accepted.
He was at once given an appointment
on the staff of Gen. Washington, and
these two great men, both of the noblest
character and the most generous minds,
became lifelong friends.
In 1924 he was given public invita-
tion to visit the United States, and his
travels through this country were like
a triumphal progress. Congress voted
him gift of 100000 and $4,000 acres of
land as mark of appreciation for his
services in the revolution. He died in
Paris May "a, 1884, and lies buried in
handsome tomb in the cemetery of Pic
pus in the Faubourg Saint Antoine

TANK FOR WATER SUPPLY.

5ne had been decided upon. The mis-
take was made when the old one was
put in; it should never have been put
in the kitchen.
bought large galvanized steel tank
with capacity of about $50 gallons, and
set it up outside the kichen in the wood
shed, the bottom being IS inches above
the faucet at the sink. A box was built
around it large enough to allow pack
ing of six inches of sawdust above, be-
low and at the sides. This material was
applied after the pipe connections had
all been well tested to see that they did
not leak. 1t was put around the tank
to keep the water cool during the sum
mer by preventing access of the warm
air to the sides, and to prevent freezing
in the winer.
The tank is one of the kind used for
heating water in connection with a
range, and as it stood when purchased
it it had four openings-two at the top,
one at the side and one at the bottom.
One of the holes at the top opens into
the tank direct, and was to be used for
the outflow of warm water. The other
is attached to pipe on the inside of the
tank which was to carry the cold water
nearly to the bottom. The hole in the
side was for the inflow of water as it
came heated from the fire. At the bot
tom was to be attached the pipe that
led to the frebox where the water was
to be heated.
But | didn't want the water hot, and
therefore had no need of this arrange
ment of the pipes My ends, thought,
would be best gained by turning the
tank upside down and plugging the side
opening. This | did. The pipe that
comes from the hydraulic ram l then
attached to the supply pipe (A), so that
the fresh water enters the opening that
was originally at the bottom, but is
now at the top of the tank. The out
flow pipe OBJ was then screwed to the
colo water pipe which runs inside the
tank, and the pipe (C) which runs to
the sink was fastened to the original
hot water pipe.
Whenever the hydraulic ram is work
ing the water flows in and there is con-
slant supply of fresh, cool water all
summer. By turning tap in the sup
ply pipe can shut off the water from
the tank and force the water to the
large cistern in the garret when the
supply in it from the roof becomes ex-
hausted.
The outflow pipe empties into the
sewer, and, like the tank and the other
pipes, is well inclosed in sawdust.-M.

heated. The man or horse when over
heated soon has his body covered with
perspiration, and the evaporation OF
this at once begins TO reduce his tenn
perature. Nature has made no such
provision for the relief of the hog
when heated by exposure 10 the sun
or by excessive exercise. This is rea-
son enough why it should have an abun-
dant and convenient water supply,
shade and convenient bathing or wal
lowing place, whether on summer pas
turage or confined in a lot, and have
plenty of green food that is laxative and
cooling.

The Farm Home That Is without II

Care for His wife.

In planning to put water tank in
your kitchen have you considered that
during the summer when the stock are
in the fields drinking from springs the
tank will have less water flowing into
1t from the windmill or the hydraulic
ram, and that, in consequence, if it is
not empty it will contain warm water?
And have you considered that when you
want cold water under these circum-
stances you must turn on the windmill,
start the ram, or pump the water your
self? If you don't your wife will If
you haven't thought of this, then profit
by my experience. Experience is the
name man gives to his mistakes"

its usefulness, was worn out, and new

While the soda and chlorine of salt
have no manural properties, there is
often a decided effect from using salt
as topdressing for land that has or.

are used per acre, and thus the salt

Music caused the death of beauti-
full three-year-old FLY at Florence, Ala,
the other day. A farmer drove his valu-
able young mare into town, ana as he
was driving up the principal street a
brass band suddenly struck up its
blatant music. The mare had never
heard any sound like that before, and
SO startled was she that she dropped
dead in the shafts of the trap. A veter-
mary surgeon who examined the car.
cass declared that the mare had died of
heart failure, due to excitement, caused
by the sound of the uhaccustomed music

POOLING A COYOTE.
Frank Of a Western Pioneer which
Did Not Turn Out Exactly as
He Had Expected.

A pioneer who had travelled from In.
diana to Oregon with OK teams once
told an amusing story of his attempt
to play a practical joke on coyote.
OF the thousands Of coyotes that we
saw in our overland trip, not one has
ever shown a particle of aggressive
spirit, and "to run like scared coyote"
was our phrase to express the superla.
tive degree of speed and fright.
One day, while strolling with my gun
over some rolling hills in Oregon, got
occasional glimpses of coyote follow
ing me. He appeared exceedingly
sleepy and lazy, shambling along as
if half asleep. AS for me, pretended
not to see him, although 1 was secret
ly planning how might fool him. But
not until nearly four o'clock IN the
afternoon did / get the chance.
In crossing ridge I found large,
dead, fallen tree. walked on, as if 60
ing down into the next hollow; but as
soon as 1 was sure that my head had

PREPARING FOR A DASH.

sunk out of sight, 1 slipped back and lay
behind the log. Ny scheme was to
frighten the brute, not to kill him, so
put aside my gun.
1t was some minutes before / saw him
coming down from the crest of the op-
posite ridge. The gnarled roots of the
tree held the trunk a little off the
ground, so 1 could see beneath it. The
coyote was apparently satisfied that l
was moving along, for he came on.
After he reached the bottom of the
hollow and started up the slope toward
me he was out of my sight, and he must
be so until within ten feet of the log,
unless he should diverge from his
straight course up the hill.
Finally he appeared, sinking along,
apparently half asleep. AS he passed
around near the gnarled roots, gath
cred myself for spring and drew in
my breath for a shout.
The instant he showed himself l
plunged forward frog-fashion, landing
directly in front of him, and uttering
yells SO hideous that they almost fright
eneG me.
The coyote was taken completely by
surprise. He shrank back so suddenly
that his loose hide seemed to slip for
ward over his head. Exactly the re-
verse of what l expected happened. He
made desperate dash straight at me,
viciously clicking his wicked teeth
within foot of my nose.
l scrambled backward down the hill
as fast as l could. The coyote followed,
swapping furiously. There was broad
patch of healthy prickly-pears, and 1
got among them, but did not notice
the fact for a minute or two, as was
otherwise engaged.
There was no time for me to get on
my feet. The brute pressed me SO
close that a second lost would have
resulted in his biting me. At least, l
thought so. AS / rolled over in the
prickly-pear bed, the brute turned and
whisked back over the ridge, seeming
ly very much frightened, but l failed
to laugh at his fright.
l sat down and picked out the prickly-
pear spines, while the coyote sat down
on the opposite ridge and looked at me.
A strong desire to kill the brute took
possession of me. prolonged my hunt
till dark, trying in every possible way
to get within gunshot, but he could
not again be fooled.
l saw his exact counterpart the
other day at a sheep-camp in northern
Utah, but tried no tricks with him.

An OId-Fasbfoned ,Journex

How would you like to remain five
months on a ship as a passenger? In
these days of fast travel that seems to
be waste of time, but some people like
it. A sailing vessel that recently came
into Portland, Ore, brought two pas
sengers from Boston, Mass. The ship
sailed all the way down the Atlantic
coast, around Cape Horn, and then up
the Pacific coast, all along South Amer
lea, and our coast states, the voyage
lasting 151 days. The passengers ex-
pressed themselves as delighted with
their experience. They went ashore at
every port the vessel touched, fished at
every opportunity, read many books,
played games and enjoyed themselves
in many other ways. AS they remarked,
when interviewed, it wes healthful
and interesting trip, such as would pay
anyone to take, at least once in life
time,

THE LION SLAYER.

Down In Turkish fashion fiat
A group of merry children sat
Upon the floor.
They were looking very snug
In a row upon the rug,
The fire before.
One with hands about her knee
Begged all to look and see,
In the Goals,
A great lion fierce and strong,
And his tawny name so long
Round him rolls.
"Oh, you need not be afraid"
Said the dainty little maid
In a glee.'
I'D fight him II he'd dare
Just to come outside Of there
You would see.
'T'd take him by the head,
And I'd squeeze him till he bled
His blood all out.
If his great big teeth he'd show,
I'd saw off the whole row
Beside his snout."
The awe-strlcken group looked grave
AS the little maid so brave,
Smiled once more.
Peeping round the room in fear,
They half expected then to hear,
The lions roar.
All at once little mouse,
Who had built his tiny house,
In the wall,
Came scudding toward the crowd,
And with cries prolonged and loud,
Away went all.
By the lion-slayer led,
They precipitately fled
To the door.
While the frightened little mouse,
Scrambled madly to his house
Across the floor.
