other can be placed on each side of
the sill, and 10 by 10 or ~ by 12-
inch timber placed on top of posts to
carry the sill.
The plan shown provides for bents
of the following lengths, commencing
at the south end: IA, IA, 20, IL and
"A feet, making in all "a feet.
There is an over-shoot of six fee,
on the south side of the driveway to
feed the first row of cattle from. The
windows on the west side are close to
the doors and come directly over the
cutters in order to let in light. In
cleaning out the COW stable the doors
can be made wide enough to drive in
from the east side through the stable,
and out of the west side. The stalls
are single stalls for swinging racks
Tor managers. but if swinging racks are
not used the stalls can be converted
into double ones if desired. There are
thirty-nine cows stalls and one box
stall; if the box stall is not required,
Shree single stalls can be made of it.

Speaking one day of Club sociabil.
ity. Mr.. Mayer, the cartoonist, told of
a club to which he was invited while
in Berlin. The club was composed of
elderly Germans, who met in a back
room to drink beer and smoke. At in
tervals one of the clubmen would re-
move his pipe from his mouth, nod his
head sagely and remark yah" After
little pause another of the smokers
would say, yah" That was the ex-
tent of their conversation.
: zone night" said Mr.. Mayer, lone
of the members brought his son to the
club. After several of the older ones
had spoken, as usual, the youngster
spoke up. He said. "Yah, YAH"
They expelled him at once," con-
Guided Mr.. Mayer, for talking too
much" -Philadelphia Public Ledger.

Business Was Brisk.

A pushcart peddler took his station
at the head of Warren street the other
day and was promptly chased away by
q cop. He moved down the street and
had no sooner propped up his cart
than a small urchin stole two peaches.
While the owner was chasing the boy
a team of horses standing near by
moved up and began to make meal
OF his choicest pears. BY the time the
Greek had settled with the horses he
was arrested by another cop.-New

and the Joliet News-withOut any

extend their circulation among the

participated in this selfish work.
Mr.. Streeter is sent copy of every

LITTLE AND OFTEN. .

There are a number of populists
who. because of a mistaken pride,
have ignored the Old Guard and Van
guard enrollments. They feel above
1.-The little things of life and. feeling
unable to contribute $40, SIS OF a hum
dred to help push the work, stay out
altogether rather than contribute a
'measley quarter or dollar.
This is a mistaken notion. The
matteg of giving anything or much or
little has always been left to the dis
erection OF the popuiist desiring to be
enrolled. A good many were unable
to give anything but sent in their
names just the same-wnich was the
proper thing to do. Perhaps few
who were abundantly able TO help,
gave little or nothing, preferring to
sponge their way; but think there
were not many of these. and, besides,
shall not attempt to judge as to who
is able and who is not
J. H. Calderhead of Montana, James
n. Ferriss of Illinois, Joseph Lamb OF
Nebraska, S. D., Mullinix of Montana,
DR.. r. H. Reemelin of Ohio and j. j.
Streeter of New Jersey. are among the
number who gave IS or more at one
time. One man adopted the plan OF
sending a dollar bill in nearly every
letter he wrote to me regarding the
progress of the enrolment. On the
back of his individual card, at the close
of April, were eleven credits of dol
lar each, the first dated December 8,
1903, and the last, April 30, 1904. On
the face of that card appears the name
OF Samuel w. Williams of Indiana.
Not long since Mr.. Williams, in one
of his letters, suggested that in or
der to push the enrolment work prop
ertly, should have at, least hundred
dollars a week for postage, printing
and clerical assistance The month OF
April has passed with little done, be-
cause the total receipts were only
about $50; and part or May is gone.
But with hundred dollars or more
expended each week during the last
half of May and the month of June in
sending out letters TO every county in
the Union, the effect upon the attend
ance at Springfield would undoubtedly
be marked.
If we had hundred Sam Williamses
in the United States, the thing might
be accomplished. 1t would cost each
one S. or Sc between now and the
4th of July and they would scarcely
miss it, And $500 or $500 of work
