"A PRETTY MESS"

In 1868 l was detailed on court mar

and rec onn3te,, The captain gave his
consent. Troop had not gone far hcfcre
he was called u:lon from the rear to
surrender. He had ridden between the

Ae captain. Croker. being called,
fatty denied the whole story. declared
that be had had no such warning and
had not given the sergeant permission
or orders to scout. The matter rested
on q question Of veracity between the
two men. The scale was turned against
the acrused by the producing Of q
scrap Of paper found in his knapsack
Oh Which WAS written. Meet Ele to-
night ;it the bridge south Of the tav-
erE. It WAS not signed. and as the
handwriting was manfest!y disguised
it was impossible to tell whether the
writer was NTH or, woman. At the time
the message was written the location
described was within the enemy's lines
When asked to explain this paper, the
prisoner at first refused to do so. but
afterwar1 said that he mad formed
the acquaintance of young country
girl, who had appointed the meeting.
The captains evidence was so direct
and the accused's explanation so lame
that he was found guilty and sentenced
to be shot. AS he was led away he
made an exclamation which convinced
me of his innocence:
"Here's a pretty mess"

A month passed. when the general
sent for me and told me that they were

papers in the Troop case, and he must
forward them. If he dsapproved of
them without reason, it would place
him in a bad position and would not

ings closed during the trial. | do not
propose to make a harbor for rats and
mice by ceiling the lower story with
Gull lumber though 1t would add
strength. Strength may be added by
bridging the studs. Paper outside Of
studs. Side up with shiplap or drop

II the pocketbook holds out and more
warmth Is wanted, add paper outside
Of siding and over it steel or iron sid
Ing.
Where the metal siding is used and
lumber is high priced 1t may be econ
omy to use strong unplaned Gull lumber
instead of drop siding, covered with
steel siding. Splice studs to roof. AS
this plan Is for no silos In the center
central support Of roof must be plan
ned by the carpenter. The purlne
plates must have good strong posts at
the ends and centrally, which may be
made Of square solid lumber or Of .
inch plank spiked together
This plan Is on the PRESUMPTION that
the roof Is to be a ridgcd one. which
will admit Of hay carrier in the ridge
extending ont over a load of hay out
side in the gable Of the barn. My car
ricr track is a fivc-cighths inch rod with
carrier made OF metal. durable and
effective. think it costs less than
other kinds. If my plan has been I'M
dcrstood it will be seen that the lower
story admits of drive in floor cross
wise of the ridge above or n drive In
passage without lumber floor.
The floor above the lower story may
all be Of one height or higher above
the drive In passageway. The upper
story may not have any drive In en-
trance, but filled with hay carrier or in
any other manner you please. Some
may prefer hand pitching lover the
great beam" still wondering why
boys leave the farm"
The upper story can be reached by
bridge from bank or grade which
will permit of any kind Of loading to
be driven in. which will add to cost.
A ridge roof with one-thlrd or more
pitch will hold a large amount. but can
be dispensed with for n round one. An
inquirer asks how ridge roof can be
put on round barn. Here Is the way:
Nail one board on top Of siding I'M
der the caves. Nail on two thicknesses
Of inch lumber on inside top Of studs
and bolt through all. putting on nuts.
A carpenter suggests to put on two
purline plates each side OF ridge II
the barn Is GO feet in dlameter-the
central rafters to be two feet apart
placed on top of stud. The shorter
rafters can be farther apart without re-
gard to the studdng. A years use Of
this has proved very satisfactory.
