MAKING A FIREPLACE.
Using stones Found in
the Woods.

Anyone who has a fireplace built
knows from sad experience how diff
cult it is TO have rough rock done well
in fact, TO have it done at all, says
Country Life in America. The very
idea of using an uncut stone for any
thing inside of a house seems the
height of absurdity to the mind of a
country workman. When l showed the
mason my sketch of the fireplace he
remarked that it would require a great
deal of labor to cut the stones into the

wonder came into his face as | told

ON BEING A BOY.
What We Used 10 Think and Do In
the Happy Days OF
Childhood.

Distance lends enehantment TO the
view to such an extent that nearly
every man looks back upon his boy
hood days as a time of perfect happi-
ness. Ii he remembers his tribula-
tons, they are now objects for merri-
ment, and the joys of his youth are
enhanced by memory until they are
perfectly glorious. OF course, there are
very few boys who really have a nice
time. but they think so, and that
amounts to the same thing.
For instance" said a writer in
Puck, "a boy thinks It is real fun to
go TO bed with all his clothes on, and
lies awake for three hours till his
father has sought a downy couch.
Then the boy gets out of bed, climbs
out Of the back window and down a
rain spout. barking his shins and
skinning his knuckles on the way. and
walks three miles across plowed fields

they have watermelon for dinner at
home, do you suppose that makes the
boy feel sore, as 1t would man? Not
much. The boy has had his fun, and
the chances are that he'll get up and
do the same old act all over again
day after tomorrow.
Again, boy thinks it's fun to put
an empty soap box on top Of two logs,
and paddle himself up and down
brook where there are no lighthouses.
no harbors, and not more than 10
inches Of water. counting the mud on
the bottom.
"A boy thinks it's fun to row a boat,
too. He will get aboard a big, heavy
skiff, with a pair of seven-foot oars,
when the thermometer indicates 90 de-
grees in the summerhouse, and he'll
pull himself around and around In a
ring, and cut SIS and figures 3 on the

when a boy gets over being a boy

EARL OF RossLYN NEED NOT PAY.
Justice Joseph Decides that Check to Gam

Justice Herman Joseph in the seventh auiilci
Court Yesterday. decided that the Earl OF Rosslyn
need not pay the check for $50 which he gave on
his recent trip to this country to Joseph conn.,
otheruyIse known as Doc Owens. the card sharp
SHIT was brought against James Francis Harry 81.
Clair Erskine Earl of Rosslyn. by la" nrm OF
this city which asserted It the innocent holder
of the check. Justice Joseph in his decision says
that the check represented money lost by the Earl
Of Rossl,n in play at poker Of the steamers
Of the Cunard Line; that he informed later tha'
the person who won the money was card sharp.
and that at Police Headquarters he recognized IN
the Rogues Gallery the photograph of DOC
Owens as the picture of the man who won the
money.
The question whether the laws Of England would
permit the collection Of gambling debt does not
matter Justice Joseph says. although the check
was given on a steamship flying the English nag
He then quotes decision by Justice Magruder In a
case where an effort made to collect in Illinois
gambling debt contracted in Missouri, declaring,
in part: No State is bound to recognize or enforce
contracts which injurious to the welfare OF It's
people which are in violation Of its laws. since
the collection of a gambling debt cannot be had
under New-York law, Justice Joseph says. the debt
contracted in gambling on a steamship hYing the
English flag cannot be collected here.
