at the base, five feet six to the gable,
with a six-foot slant length to the roof.
The frame for the ends will follow the
general outline Of the roof edge. The
A-shaped ends are connected with ga
bic piece and two crosspieces some
where between gable and where bases
are nailed to the runners. The rum
ners are connected by three crosspieces
two feet apart, to which the floor is
to be attached. For the general frame
work seven 12-foot two by tours
are all that is necessary. Twelve feet
is the best length, from the fact that
all are cut six feet long, thus avoiding
all waste.
The lumber used in covering the
framework should be Of good quality
and practically, clear, or, if knotty, the
knots should be sufficiently firm that
there will be no danger of holes. I
think four-inch pine, matched stuff, is
preferable. If this width is used, 10
12-foot boards will cover the build
ing in good shape without any great
waste. In addition to these, there will
be required eight more boards of same
width and length to cover the ends. It
will be a good idea to face the ends of
the structure. just below the roof
boards, and also put boards on either
side Of gable. If this is done, there will
be required three more boards of the
same length and width as the others,
save that it is preferable If this lum-
Der is unmatched stuff. #

important, q dry one. In putting in
such floor would use nothing save
two-inch planks. probably foot wide.
It this size is used, only three 12-foot

We believe II we were going into the
business we should buy mares. The
Eorse-breeding business promises to
be even more profitable than it now
is, and If the farmer will buy two or
more good mares and breed them to
draft stations of established merit he
not only can do his farm work with
them, but raise colts that will more
than pay for the mares each year. 1t
will pay to get first-class mares-pay

A BRITISH sPY's BONES.
The Hanging Of Lieut.. Daniel Taylor
In the Revolutionary War Re-
called by Late Find.

is believed to be part of the skeleton
of Lieut.. Daniel Taylor, who was
hanged as British spy at that place
in 1777, recalls an interesting incident
of the revolution. It was first record
ed by Losing in his ''Field Book of the
Revolution" as it was related to him
by Maj. Bartlett at Little Britain, in
this county, in 1850. The major was
survivor of the revolution and then
nearly 90, says the Network Sun.
It happened in October, 1777, when
Gov. George Clinton's command was
encamped at Little Britain, and the
British Gen. Clinton was endeavoring
to make junction with Burgoyne and
relieve that officers desperate straits.
On the night of October 10, 1777, as the
story is, Lieut.. Brown, of the Amer
lean army, captured within the lines
a suspicious person, who proved to be
Lieut.. Daniel Taylor, Of the enemy's
forces. Taylor was taken before Gov.
Clinton, whose name had deceived him
into thinking he was in the hands of
friends. When he discovered his mis-
take he quickly removed some object
from his pocket, placed it in his mouth
and swallowed it.
This aroused the suspicion of Gov.
Clinton, who ordered powerful emet-
ic to be forced into the British officers
stomach, the effect Of which was the
reappearance OF the swallowed object.
It was found to be silver globe, evil
IDENTIFY hollow. The removal of ascreM
permitted it to separate into two
parts, within which a piece Of paper,
folded up into small compass, was dis
covered. This paper was message of
Importance from Gen. Clinton to Gen.
Burgoyne. :3.ss.,,
Lieut.. Taylor was tried by court
martial and condemned to be hanged
as a spy. The order came, to Gov. Gin
ton just at that time to move against
the British, who were at Kingston.
and this movement postponed the
hanging of the British lieutenant.
When Clinton's command arrived at
Kingston, October 16, 1777, the British
had burned that place and retreated
to Rondout, where they embarked in
their ships on the Hudson. The Amer.
lean forces went into camp at Hurley,
and there, on October is, the con-
demned spy was hanged.
For many years after the revolution
and until date within the memory of
many still living thereabout, the tree
upon which Lieut.. Taylor was hanged
stood at Hurley, and was known as the
Spy Tree, although few knew why:
That the unfortunate officer was
buried beneath the tree in which he
was hanged had been entirely for
gotten until the finding of the bones
the other day by laborers excavating
on the Ellenville & Kingston railroad
at Hurley. Then the tradition was re.
viyed by q Kingston antiquarian.

HOWTO SCRATCH VAN WICK
TRICK OF THE TAMMANY MANAGERS
IN PLACING HIS NAME ABOVE
JUSTICE O'BRIENS

Thousands Of Democratic voters in New-York
County want TO scratch Robert A. Van Wyck
for Justice of the Supreme Court but they are
not quite sure how they can do that without
making their ballots defective. The Tammany
leaders resorted to a trick in placing Van
Wycks name over that Of Justice O'Brien In the
Democratic column. that it comes opposite to
that of Justice O'Brien in the Republican col
uInn- II was intended TO puzzle voters who de-
sire to vote for all the Democratic candidates
except Van Wyck. If voter should put cross
then place cross in front of the name Of Nor
gan j OBrien in the Republican column he
would be voting for all the Democratic candi-
dates except Van WyCk; but better way to
scratch Van Wyck is 10 place crosses in front
Of the names of four other candidates for the
Supreme Court
Democratic lawyers have said that the COM
plnent of a unanimous reelection of Justice
O'Brien is of less importance than the defeat of
mated by both parties. is of reelection.
His election will be made certain by the votes
CT the Republicans and Democrats who vote
their straight party tickets. If. then, some
thousands OF Democrats should refrain from
voting for both O'Brien and Van Wyck. and vote
as they choose for four of the other five cam
ddates named in the Republican and Democrat
ic columns. they would insure Van Wyck's de-
feat without endangering the reelection OF JUS
tice O'Brien. The method ot marking the ballot
for such purpose is shown in the appended
