Good Gate Latches.

The form of the gate latch or fast
ening is an important portion of a
fence and care should be exercised in
making. The form shown in Fig. l is
very simple and effective. The latch,
a, is Of hard, tough wood, eighteen
inches in length, three-quarter inch
thick, and II inches wide. Through
the inner end wooden pin holds it

plans shown admit of the gate open-

a swinging latch is used, which should
be about the size of that in Fig. l. 1t

An Instance Where Something Bet

'1f truth is stranger than felton," said
an amateur cynic of this city. lit is well
for n fellow TO fib little when he wants
to be believed. Not long ago, to give
you al illustration, young friend of
mine who works for n certain shipping
house heiSe was detained at the office I'M
ill after midnight and just before leav-
ing attempted to replace II letter file on a
high swinging sael: In SO doing he dis
lodged a ledger, which struck him on the
bridge OF the nose as ii fell and knocked
of a good sized section of skin, besides
backing one of his eyes. l occupy the
adjoining office and, hearing the racket
went in and helped patch him up.
Now, l happened to know that this
young man had wife who was inclined
to be very suspicious. and as he was go
ing l asked him what he proposed TO
tell her about the accident. Why, I'll
tell her exactly what happened he said.
1T is perfectly pain and simple That's
just the trouble said l. It's so plain
and simple that she'll never believe it in
the world She'll think you made it up
TO conceal something terrible and will be
very unhappy. 1t is your duty in such
a case to do little lying But what
shall tell her thenY he asked, looking
puzzled Tell her. said /, that you
heard a row in the street and. going TO
the window, saw the Italian fruit yender
on the opposite corner yelling at some
boys who had just robbed his stand.
While you had your head out he hurled
an apple at the urchins, and it flew wild
and hit you in the eye But, good
heavens he protested, that's a most
preposterous yarn Here we are on the
third floor, so how on earth could | be
hit by an apple thrown at boy in the
streetg You don't pretend to know /
replied. AN you can say is that it hap
pened.'
II finally got him to promise he would
do exactly as | advised, and next day
he came down all smiles. 1T worked TO
a charm!' he explained. 4 told her the
apple story just as you outlined it and
remarked casually that knew it sound
ed incredible and might easily enough
have invented some plausible fiction TO
account for my eye, but l preferred to
tell her the exact truth on all occasions.
Well, she simply beamed,' continued my
friend. John" she said TO me, don't
you ever be afraid to tell your little wife
the truth, no matter how wild it sounds.
You can always depend on her common
sense
Il really believe l averted trouble in
that family" said the amateur cynic
