THE LAST PARAGRAPH.

"And now, dear reader, we take leave
of you with regret ana close this book
Our heroine has escaped a Texas steer,
a mad organ grinder, cyclone, a
freshet, q hotel fire, an electric car, the
smallpox and William who wanted to
marry her for her money alone. The
hero has fallen over a precipice, been
blown up on a steamboat, run over by
mules, shot at by highwayman and
held fast in a quicksand, and yet comes
safely through it all to wed and prove
himself devoted husband We have
left the villain in the forest TO starve,
sent the chambermaid over the Niagara
Falls, and the eoachman cannot re-
cover from his broken head. Thus all
the characters are disposed of, the
writing materials used up, and the
world made brighter and better Tor
those who were losing their faHh in
their fellow man"

A MODEL $1,000 HOUSE.

Copyright, 1899 by Charles Willard Leigh
ton, Architect, n. Y. City)
(This is the tenth and last in the SER
les of illustrated architectural articles

SONG OF THE PRESSES.

ArgoSy.
They whir and clash through the nights
and days,
The magical looms of thought:
And in ard out through a thousand ways,
The flashing threads are brought.
Their swift pdryeyOrs part and meet,
on rail and ship, on mart and street,
With treleSS brain, with hurrying feet,
AS tine endless web is wrought.
They may not pause when the sun is high,
Nor rest when the light is low.
For while men live, and act, and die,
The world flies TO and fro.
1t Feaps the sea, it spans the plain:
On throbbing wire and mighty chain,
1t runs like fire from main to MAN.
That the world may see and know.
While all men Sleep they whir and clash,
The terrible looms of light:
On eyes that wake shall the message flash
From far beyond the night;
And songs in the underworld begun
Shall touch our Tips ere day is done:
For space is naught and the earth's at
one,
Linked by the worlds swift fight.
Man calls to man. and not in vain
The cry TO his ear IS brought:
All love, and labor, and hope, and pain
Into each soul is wrought
" DIRK on We presses at life's behest
For light far spread and for wrong re-
dressed,
TIE time is ended we may not rest.
e marvellous looms of thought!

obviating the direct view to the kiteh-
en-. The dining room has good large
windows which, when open in warm
weather with those in the sitting
ROOM make a good circulation of air.
The entrance hall is about square and
well lighted by a window at the bot
tom of the staircase as well as one at
the platform where the staircase turns.
The parlor is nearly square and may
have an open fire place and the win
dows in this room are provided with
stained glass transoms, main sash
sliding up into what is commonly call
ed ''box head" making a ''box head
window" The veranda roof is a con-
tinuation of the roof proper and the col
umns are boxed and fiuted and have a
neat moulded can.
On examination of the second story
floor plan we find five bed rooms and
bath room. The smaller bed room in
the front may be used for a play room
or sewing room, as desired. All rooms
are provided with ample closet room,
except the rear one, and this could be
easily altered by diminishing the size
of the closet for bed room marked 10
feet by IA feet, and of the linen closet
in the hall and still not alter the size
of either of the rooms or the hall. The
sitting room bay is carried up to the
second story and is somewhat larger.
All the bed rooms are planned to give
as much accommodation, light and ven
tilation as possible. The lighting of

SECOND STORY PLAN.

the passage is accomplished by placing
room doors. The room previously
stated as being used as play room or
sewing room is lighted by an elliptical
and dormer window, the former being
glazed with stained glass.
All interior wood work is as given in
the technical description accompanying
this article, but may be changed to suit
the wishes of the owner. The exterior
finish of the first story is of clap
boards laid AZ inches to the weather
and joint Tapped III inches, with cor
ner boards at the end of the house
and all joints Az inch by IL inch

Guiding roofs and dormers is shingled,
all Singing and clapboards to be lack
ed up with 1 inch by inch rough
hemlock boards, upon which is placed
a layer of building paper well Tapped
and nailed. Especial care should be
used in placing paper on boards, lap
ping well at joints and window castings
thereby avoiding the entrance of cold
air The panels ON second story are
made of paper mache of neat design.

HIS OWN BOOK.
The Arizona Editor Writes ! Book and
Reviews It Himself.
BY NJ. QUAD.

During the past three years we have
not only been the active editor of the
Arizona Kicker, which, it is needless to
observe, is the greatest family weekly
newspaper in the known world, but at
the same time we have held the posi-
tion and discharged the duties of Mayor
of Giveadam Gulch, Postmaster, United
States Deputy Marshal and Commits
sioner of Deeds. Our work has kept us
hustlifg, but we have still found a
spare hour now and then to devote to
the book, which will be in the hands
of all newsdealers next week. 1t is a
volume of 800 pages, put up in good
shape, and its title is "Our Own Book. ;"
Every line in this book is fresh matter
which never saw the types before, and
the volume exactely balances six plugs
of navy tobacco when put on the scales.

second story. The chimney runs down
to the cellar and steam or a hot air
furnace used to heat the house. The
flue for the furnace being larger than
the ordinary fiue is to be lined as it
makes a more perfect job and the ex-
pense is Insignificant when compared
to the increased grain over the ordinary
tlue, and dininishes the chance of fire
caused by a defective flue, sometimes
destroying the whole house.

FIRST FLOOR PLAN.

The plan of the first floor is to give
as large rooms as possible and portiere
and sliding door openings are given
between the principal rooms. The Sit
ting room has a large bay window as
well as a window at the side. The OPP
ipng room is provided with sliding
doors. The portiere openings may be
provided with corbels placed about one
foot from the top and grill work filled
in above. The kitchen has large closet
room and a separate staircase to the
second story. The closet in the dining
room might be used for an entrance to
the kitchen, closing up present entrance

PERSPECTIVE.

The walls of foundation are of rough
stone (filled) laid in its natural state
in good cement mortar. Footings may
width of the walls are too wide for any
kind of settling. The cellar may be
reached by stairway from the rear
thus doing away with the running
through the halls if the staircase was
placed under the hall staircase to the

in second story. Portable range and
sink in kitchen. Back staircase from
cellar TO attic. Linen closet in second
story hall. Attic floor for storage
Cost-S2, 700 complete. The estimate
is based on New York prices for mater
ials and labor. In many sections OF the
country the cost should be less.

reads:
1--WE left the Chicago shoe dealer
hanging over a precipice in the Rocky
Mountains by a piece OF sheep twine.
From the first he felt that he was
doomed, but no Chicago man ever dies
as long as he can help it. He feared
that the slender cord would snap with
the first movement he made, but
breathing prayer to Heaven and shut
ting his teeth hard he sought to climb
up Inch by inch he made his way,
and hope had already began to dawn
in his heart when he heard a shout,
and looked upward to see the face of
Nancy Thomas, the girl he thought to
be lying crushed and dead under a
thousand tons of rock.
$50 it is you," Kissed the shoe deal
er, as he fastened his eyes on hers.
For sure" replied Nancy.
Ard now you want your revenge?"
"Of course. | have no knife here to
cut the rope, but l shall gnaw it in
twain and send you to the cruel rocks
below. Behold, you villain!"
And she gnawed and bit and gnawed,
and as the man opened his mouth to
utter fresh curse the rope parted and
he went down, down. and the waiting
vultures tapped their wings and sailed
heavily about and waited for his quiv-
ering body to cease to culver.

Another Kruger Story.

An amusing Kruger story is going the
rounds. The president is minus the thumb
of his left hand. In his youth II was
badly wounded, and rather than nurse
the troublesome member he cut 1t of.
Some time ago in discussing the present
situation and wishing to illustrate how
he would do Sir Alfred Miner as he had
his predecessors, he began with the little
finger Of his left hand: II was TOO much
for Sir George Grey" Then nnnotating
with his third finger, II was too much
for Sir Howard Berkeley" Passing to
the middle finger, II was too much for
Sir Burtle Frcre." Next with the index
finger, II was too much for Sir Hercules
Robinson, and shall be too much for
Sir-alle maagtew he exclaimed, for he
had come to the place Of the missing
thumb. The incident. which is true
one. is said to have impressed and de-
pressed him not little as he is very su-
perstitious.-Chicago Times Herald.

Lord salisbury. Levee Dress.

Here Is a very amusing and character
istic story Of Lord Salisbury. II ia
known that he is most careless in dress
and that he is far too serious in his
mind and occupations to have much re-
gard for the merely ceremonial side Of
life. A consequence has been perfect
ignorance Of oil that appertains to uni
forms on state occasions. For some years
this failing produced no evil result, for
Lord Salisbury had faithful valet who
looked after him. but one unhappy day
the valet left, and Lord Salisbury was
reduced to his own resources.
1t was leyee day, and the prime minis
ter was In the midst of serious business
up to the last momsnt. He rushed home,
turned out large bundle of uniforms, Of
which. of course, he has quantity, and
took the first that came to his hand, with
the astonishing result that he wore coat
that belonged to the elder brethren of
Trinity House, deputy lieutenant's pair
of trousers and hat of the Royal Arch
ers. Even that was not the worst. He
wore his sword on the wrong side and
his garter on the wrong side. and things
reached their climax in the waistcoat,
which. dating from an earlier and less
robust period of his life, left between it
and the trousers what was once called,
in the case of another great parliament
tartan, "a lucid interval"
Since that incident Lord Salisbury has
never been trusted to dress himself for
levee alOne.-M. A. P.

The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1899-12-30

At one of the big Republican mass
meetings in the recent campaign the
printed list of vice presidents was head
ed by the name of William NJ. Evarts.
To old timers the name recalled many
things; to the new generation 1t possibly
meant nothing.
Mr.. Evats never leaves the old red
brick mansion at the corner Of Four
teenth street and Second avenue. Callers
there are very few, aside from the fam
lilies Of his children and his former law
partners.
The giants In the Republican party to-
day have forgotten him. II they were
asked whether Mr.. Evarts were dead or
living, it would probably puzzle most of
