The House That Tresham Built.

One Of the curiosties of architecture
in England is. according to The Stone
Trades journal. the house erected
about 300 years ago at Rushton. in
Northamptonshire, by Sir Thomas
Tresham, Roman Catholic. who
wished by his design to typify the
Trinity.
The house is all threes, has three
sides, three stories and three windows
on each fiat. each of them in the shape
of the trefoil-the three leaved sham
rock Where the roofs meet rises a
three sided pyramid, terminating In a
large trcfoil The smoke escapes from
this chimney by three round holes on
each side of the three sides. The build
Ing Is almost covered with notices and
carvings, three Latin Inscriptions, one
ON each of the three sides, having 33
letters in each Three angles on each
side bear shields. Over the door Is the
text from the Nulgate, There are three
that bear record" Inside the house
each corner Is cut off from each of the
three main rooms, SO that on every
floor there are three three sided apart

AT no time in the history of our state

The farmers who are fee ding out timo-
thy hay, and seeing their neighbors selling
load after load of it at good price, while
their cattle are kept in good condition
and their cows are giving more milk on
corn fodder than those do that are eating
high priced hay, must feel like asking
some one to kick them now, and then
come around and kick them again next
spring until they promise either to plant
corn or sow corn in drills and save the
fodder for next winters use. Yet this is
but one small part of their loss. Those
who had plenty of corn fodder to use
during the dry time last summer kept
their cows up to full milk production then,
and began the fall with them n much bet
ter condition than were those that had to
depend upon the pasture alone, and thus
they will have more milk every day and
milk more days this winter than those
who trusted to the grass crop alone. Yet
not one-half the latter will be much more
ready to look ahead next spring than they
were last spring.

The Burlington Hawkeye has issued
an address to the newspapers Of Iowa
asking them to agitate the subject of
good roads. The main point made by
The Hawkeye, whose editor is post
master, is that the success of rural free
postal delivery depends largely upon
good roads. In the address The Hawk
eye says: ''1owa, one of the best states
in the Union, with the greatest and
most varied natural resources, is floun-
dering in the mud and losing millions
of dollars annually by bad highways.
The states with good roads are going
to have the preference in the distribu-
tion of free delivery routes. Iowa,
with the lowest rate of illiteracy, a
state where newspapers, magazines
and literature generally find the widest
circulation, where the circulating libra
ry is supplementing local libraries. the
state Of all states where free delivery
ought to flourish and be self sustain.
ing, is in danger Of not getting it's
share of the latest and best boon for
farmers because of it's poor highways"
Doubtless The Hawkeye's appeal will
have good effect. A similar effort
among the editors of other states might
be worth trying.

The Plainfield IN. J.) board of trade

to appropriate $1,000 for the purpose of
advertising the advantages of the town

can tax property one-half Of l per cent

Gently in Chicago has issued an address
to the American people which will COM
mend itself to thoughtful men every
where as an earnest appeal to fair
mindedness and humane sentiment.
The document points out that the Sc
cret Of good citizenship and harmony
lies in the ability of the individual to
restrain his natural inclinations and ex-
ercise toleration for the rights of 9TH
ers.- Thoughtful persons will agree that
this underlying idea in the conferences S
appeal must tend to give it's detailed
recommendations Increased claims to
consideration. The recommendations
do not look to enforced arbitration as
the solution of labor disagreements.
but seek to encourage the settlement Of
all disputes as much as possible at
home between the employer and his
Workmen. To provide against cases
where agreements cannot be reached
by the employer and his employees it
= -
is recommended that Cancellation
boards be created for each line of in
dustry, to which cases that cannot be
settled may be- referred. To bring
about as far as possible general sys-
tenn of conciliation the conference de-
cided to appoint a committee to act
for one year, with power to appoint
subordinate committees at it's discre-
ton. Without doubt the conference has
done much toward creating a better
understanding as a means of avoiding
labor troubles. The recommendations
are moderate in tone and are likely to
result in good. At all events they can
do no harm.

According to statements made to

According to statements made to a
reporter for the Washington Post by
NJ. L. Turner, one of the leading citi-
zens of Oklahoma, the value of the
crops of that territory for the year 1900
is twice as great as the appraised value
of all the property within her bounda-
ries. This means that on every $1,000
worth Of property on which he pays
taxes the Oklahoma farmer this year
has raised $1,000 worth of produce. a
return which is probably without par
-allel in the history of agriculture. It
appears also that the bonded indebted
ness of the territory is less than per
cent of her property valuation. that her
credit is thoroughly sound and that she
is rapidly gaining in population and
wealth. These conditions are the foun-
dations of prosperous statehood. -
