Plans have been made by Appleton P.
Clark, jr., architect, for a country house
for Mr.. James F. Oyster, to be erected on
his place, on the Rockville and Tenleytown
road, north of Bethesda, Md. Mr. Oyster
admires the rolling country in that locality,
which terminates in what might be termed
the foot hills of the Blue Ridge, and he
some time ago bought tract of one hun
dred acres Across the road Mr.. John Joy
Edison has acquired a large tract, and he
has in view the erection of a home there
for his own use. In that vicinity are the
country places of Adds B. Browne and of
the A. T. Britton estate
The site selected by Mr.. Oyster for his
house is one of the high points in the
grounds and commands a fine view The
house, a large one, will be built of wood
and will be colonial in treatment. The fea-
ture of the design will be a porch in the
center of the front, with the pediment
above the roof line supported by large Cor
inthian pillars. There will be wide and
spacious porches on three sides of the
house. Beneath the entrance porch will be
the main door of the dwelling, which will
open into roomy hall, eighteen feet wide
At the rear will be the staircase, with a
platform overlooking the hall, and with a
broad window and an inviting window
seat. The hipped roof will be covered with
slate and a balustrade will finish the sky
line. The kitchen will be in wing and
there will be a connection with the dining
room through a pantry.
The same architect is designing a cot
tage for Mr.. George S. Wilson, which is
to be on the 7th street road near the Dis
trict line. This is to be attractive struc-
ture two stories in height with high
roof, containing a third story. There will
be of course, ample provision for porches
and the other features which are needed
in a house which is located in the country.
but which is still within easy distance of
the CITY.

as he likes 20 he ont o nights he never
wakes up a moment toe soon. lie has
an alarm clock, which he sets at Z,
and this gives him barely time to

One day last week. the man having
forgotten to wind his clock the night
before, 1t didn't go Off. So there were
explanations to be made about $50 a.
m This was the excuse:
"Well you see. Mr.. CRUZ. | know
how punctual you like all OF your men

"Ah, you did? Well, I'll excuse you

whether or not "the old man" was real

To lie Cheerful.

The sovereign, voluntary path to
cheerfulness. If our spontaneous cheer
fulness be lost, Is to sit up cheerfully,
to look around cheerfully and TO act
and speak as II cheerfulness were al
ready there. If such conduct doesn't
make you soon feel cheerful, nothing
else will on that occasion. SO, TO feel
brave. act as II we were brave. use all
our will TO that end. and a courage fit
will very likely replace the fit Of fear.
Again, in order to feel kindly toward a
person TO whom we have been inimical,
the only way is more or less deliberate
ly to smile, TO make sympathetic in
quiries and 20 force ourselves IA say
genial things. one hearty laugh to-
gether will bring enemies into closer
communion Of heart than hours spent
on both sides in inward wrestling with

hull Batting.

Although bull batting was a cruel
pastime, It was also n fulfilling of the
law, for formerly no butcher was al
lowed to offer for sale the flesh of any
bull that had not been baited. The
goading of the animal in a fury was
supposed to have some influence on the
flesh. In n similar belief the flesh of a
hunted hare was thought to be superior
In flavor to that OF one that had been
shot, and a present Of "a hunted hare"
was considered TO be a special compll-
ment. In the records of the corpora
tion of Leicester, England, the follow
ing order appears: AT common hall,

at least dollars worth of the
good things before him, concluded
he would taper of on about two
bits worth of nuts.
The train bell rang, and the con-
ductor called all aboard" but
Cruce would not leave those nuts.
Mr.. Herbert says he tried to pull
him off, telling him to come on or
they would get left, but no, sir;
he would not leave, and the colonel
boarded the train just as she pulled
out
Col Herbert said he thought
sure VIM. Cruc, was left, but after
travelling several miles he saw
Cruce coming in from the real
with a guide, for he had passed
through four sleeping ears and il
took a guide to pilot him through
them.

then told him how near he cam'

meeting. which will be held at PetalUma

Upon the outcome of the Petaluma
plains meet depends the running of the
proposed heat stake. Many of the owners
whose cOursers are admittedly in a class

closed meetings expect to even up mat
tiers on the field. If their hopes are real
lied they will be anxious to give their
opponents a return at game where
stamina is as great a factor as speed.
d. j. Healey has withheld his champion
greyhound SiSQuOc from the plains meet
ing in anticipation of a match with Albert
Curtis stake-winner Beacon The Peta-
luna coursing man is ready, he says, to
run for $3.50, winner to take all. This
should impress Curtis as an easy propo-
sition. While Sisquoc is a good. strong
dog and a winner for his owner in a
match race with Beacon, where speed
would be the prime factor. the talent fig-
ures he could not be trained to get foot
enough to offset the great blue grey
hound.
