Otto Mass, aged thirty four, died at
his home in the town of Berlin Friday
of paralysis of the heart, after an
illness of two weeks with other COM
plications. Deceased was one of the
best known and most prosperous
farmers of the town of Berlin, where
he was born and reared, and his funeral
was one of the largest attended of any
in that section in recent years. He
leaves wife and four children.
Bertha tanker appeared in circuit
court Friday and was absolved from
her marital relations with Emil Tanker.
She was also granted leave to assume
her maiden name of Bertha Stole, and
was given the custody of her adopted
child. The grounds upon which her
separation was secured were cruel and
inhuman treatment administered by
the man who had promised to love,
honor and cherish her through life.

FARM HAND CART

one on nearly every farm. and the
farmer himself can construct it on
some rainy day or idle spell. For run
ming gears Il broken down or disused
cultivator-mostf armyards have two or
three-furnishes the best of wheels. A
handy width is from three to four feet,
varying of course with the use the cart
is to be put to- If to be used by the
boys of the farm, it should not be large.
The handles are bolted to the axle and
a frame made of 2 by as bolted to the
axle and handles. This frame should
set so that about third of its length
will reach in front of the axle. This
will give the proper balance when
pushing n load. A platform of inch
boards is nailed to the frame and an
end put on by means Of straps Of iron
to insure strength. Removable side
boards are made of wide boards. Holes
are bored, three along each side Of the
platform. Pins are driven into the bot
tom of the side boards to correspond
and fit into the holes in the bottom Of
the platform. At the upper side, on
the front end of the board is a staple
into which Il hook, fastened to the
front end Of the box, slips when in
place and holds it firm. There are
many places about a farm where this
cart will be found convenient. The
figure shows the cart complete and one
of the side boards.
1t Is often convenient to have n crate
In which to haul single hog, sheep or
calf. 1t IS not necessarJ to have it 50
large or so heavy but that it can be
easily lifted into the wagon or even
taken in the light wagon where the
animal to be hauled is not too large
and heavy. The frame should be mGle
of by 1, strengthened by rods and
bolts. -Four inch Stats are nailed hOri-
zontal on the inside of the sides and
perpendicular on the end. Three stats
dropped from above and retained in
position by the mortised end will re-
tain the animal when inside.
The crate is about three feet wide,
four and half feet high and five feet
long. The three frames are mortised
at top and bottom and have rod ca
at top, and ut the bottom two by Is
are bolted NJ Il. The floor is spiked
down to THESE. The Stats are nailed

pig pork have done well at it. "Killing
twice "A year. is the way for us to do
now. The way some of the old farmers
who fatted pork ran out their business
was putting the last pound of fat on a
400 pound hog that was year or more

quite observing said about hogs, They

Overlooked a Detail.

8 A Long Island farmer came to
Brooklyn with his wife to do some
shopping the other day. On his way
back the thought came to him that he
had forgotten something. He took
out his notebook and went over each
item, checking it off, and saw that he
had made all the purchases he intend
ed. AS he drove on he could not put
aside the feeling that there was some
thing missing. He again took out his
notebook and rechecked every item,
but still found no mistake He did
this several times, but could not rid
himself of the idea that he must have
forgotten something. When he
reached home and drove up to the
house his daughter came out to meet
him, and, with look of surprise,
asked: why, papa, where is moth
er?"-Mail and Express

JOKE ON SWEET CHARITY.

And the coIored Porter, He Thorough
Iy Enjoyed It.
The other day colored porter FROM
one of the hotels was sent to buy some
tin cups. After making the purchase
he started back to the hotel and met
one of the hostlery's best patrons-a
commercial traveler-and the latter
asked the negro to carry his sample
case to a Washington street store.
A few minutes later the negro, sam
pie case, and tin cups, were in front
of the store. The travelling man was
in the store. While waiting for him,
the negro sat down on the sample
case, and in less than a jiffy fell asleep
One of the tin cups was in his hand,
and it fell forward, as does the cup
held by a blind man.
Perhaps you won't believe it. but
that negro collected 43 cents while he
slumbered. Passersby thought him a
blind mendicant. And maybe that por-
ter didn't enjoy the joke! He did
