Ratnroof CornCrih.

A correspondent asks how corn
crib may be constructed so as to be
proof against rats. We give reply to
this by the cut of crib in this column.
The crib may be built cheaply, and Of
any size desired. The cut fully ex-
plains the construction. 1t Is set either
on wooden posts or brick foundations,

In the cut, and to 21a feet from the
ground to the crib sills. Two-thirds
of the distance from ground to the
sill are galvanized iron hoods, project
ing out and downward around the
foundation posts inches in width.
Rats can never pass over this hood
which they would have to do to reach
the crib. Such a crib Is absolutely
proof against rats. 1t is constructed
of inch-lumber, open for air to reach
the corn, but with fiaring sides for

Poultry Pickings.

A good scratcher means a good lay

Pullets do not fatten as readily as
hens.
The poultry house should not open

The perches should be not more than
two feet from the ground.
Success does not depend so much on
breed as on care and attention.
Young fowls need crushed bone in
some form to develop good blood, bone
and feathers.
The poultry should be given the cab

CHAPTER XXI--Continued.

The clash finally came. The boats
came together like so many battering
rams. Curses arose loud over the
calm waters. The boats surged back
and forth like living animals. The
grim dark forms of the fishermen
writhed and contested with each other
like serpents of the sea.
Back you gillnettersi You des-
tToyeIs of the fishl" shouted the north
siders.
"Away with you, you trappers |!
You cause our families to starve!' re-
piled the men from the southside,
with bitter oaths.
The resistance on the part of the
northsiders was short lived. The over
whelming numbers against them soon
began to tell. By sheer force they
were driven toward their traps. The
prows OF the southsiders' boats were
against theirs, and they were swept
along like driftwood before a huge
raft.
The red in the east was making
things more visible on the water. 1t
was easy to see that the northsiders
were losing ground at every point.
But suddenly volley of shots rang out
down the river. Another followed.
The curses of the fishermen rose above
these.
"The soldiers!2" shouted the north
siders.
Curse upon tie head of Gabe
Jarvil" shouted the southsiders.
Then the steamer carrying the
militia appeared dividing the contest
ing fishermen like chaff. They fred
volleys occasionally above the heads of
the retreating belligerents in older to
hasten their departure.
Bang" rang out rifle shot from
a retreating party to the south.
lake thatl" exclaimed a murder
GUS looking southsider as the smoke
cleared from the muzzle of his gun.
Old Seadog fell back into the arms
Of his cons. The bullet had found its
mark.
Take this!" said another south
slider as he raised his rife to his
shoulder. "You have betrayed us,
CODE Jarvi, and you shall pay the
penalty"
Don't shoot, fool, it is womanl"
exclaimed man as he seized the muz-
zle of the would-be assassins gun.
1t was Dan Iapham. He had been
overpowered and taken prisoner. AS
he grabbed the southsider's gun it dis
charged. Lapham looked in the direc-
tion the bullet had gone and saw in
the pilot house of the steamboat which
had come to their rescue the form of
Sankala!
The girl was pale as death, but she
chung to the wheel in spirit of des-
peration, and the boat continued upon
its course, ploughing through the craft
of the contending fishermen, the south
siders retreating with all possible
speed.

for the captain.
SIS Sankala coming2" asked one Of
the women of another.
"She promised after long persuasion
10 come. But she only agreed to re-
main a short time. Ringwold is about
exhausted from his work with the
wounded and Sankala does not think it
right anyway, to celebrate while the
wounded are so low. She thought it
wrong to give the ball while Old Seadog
is lying at the point Of DEATH"
ut doesn't seem to worry Hazel,
his daughter, remarked another
woman who was watching the rich fish
erman's child, wreathed in smiles,
while she entertained the captain OF
the militia.
The crowd had gathered and the
grand march and quadrille that fol-
lowed were over. All were seated
again when slight sensation near the
door CAUSED the pleasure seekers TO
look in the direction. The soldiers
commenced to applaud, and continued
until the house fairly shook. Dan
Lapham and Sankala had just entered.
Sankala was very pale. She was
dressed very plainly but neatly, and
carried her left arm in strip of white
silk which pended from her neck. The
soldiers focked ABOUT her and were
profuse with congratulations.
Excuse me, there is Sankala, our
brave little heroine" said Captain
Budlong and left Hazel and rushed to
grasp the hand of the orphan.
The men broke away at the ap-
proach of the commander. Captain
Budlong was full of praise for the girl,
inquired about her wounded aim and
was very attentive.
"May have the next waltz after
this one-pardon me Mr.. Lapham!"
said the captain turning to Sankala's
escort after making the request of her.
Dan doesn't waltz" replied San
kala.
Then may have this one-I will
be careful with the arm?" said the
captain for the music was just sarting
up and the dancers were beginning.
Certainly" replied Sankala as Dan
nodded his approval.
When the waltz was over Captain
Budlong escorted Sankala to a seat
near Hazel Seadog. Sankala spoke to
Hazel but the latter took no notice of
her. Captain Budlong saw it but
thought Hazel did not hear Sankala
speak.
81 have just had nice dance with
our little heroine" remal ked the cap
tain. "Don you think she is pretty
and good?"
"She is only one of our employees
and l do not recognize her as a social
equal" replied Hazel with all the Sea-
dog venom expressed in her voice and
eyes.
Captain Budlong looked sharply at
his companion. His first lieutenant
relieved Sankala's embarrassment by
leading her to another portion Of the
room. Dan Lapham was engaging a
number of fishermen at another por-
ton of the house by telling them of
the result of the peace commission's
labors.
The dance continued until nearly
midnight without farther incident when
messenger rushed in, almost out of
breath, and announced that Old Sea-
dog was dying.
"Ringwold, too, has collapsed and
is at the house of Seadog," said the
bearer of bad news.
Captain Budlong hurried away with
Hazel and Dan and Sankala followed.

hands of receiver, committed suicide
today at his beautiful home on College
street. He had been Ill two months
and the collapse of the financial in

Mr. Plant had life insurance of mora

BATTLESHIP MAKES A
PHENOMENAL RUN
Kentucky Arrives Home From the Far
Asiatic Station.

NEW YORK, May 21.-The United
States battleship Kentucky anchored
off TompknsvilIe today, having made
the worlds record run for a warship
from Hongkong and Madeira to New
York. The total distance steamed was
1853 miles from Hongkong, at an av-
erage speed of 1877 knots. The last run
of 1900 miles from Madeira to New
York was made at an average speed OF
1873 knots. The whole distance was
made under natural draught.
The Kentucky has been in commits
sion a little more than four years and
her first run was out to the China sta
ton. She has been the flagship Of the
squadron for three years, and has
flown the flag Of Rear Admiral Evans
for more than two years. She left
Manila on March 10, locked at Hong
kong on March Is. and sailed for home
on March 20. She reached Colombo.
Ceylon, on April 8, after run Of 1900
miles. The Kentucky left Colombo on
April IL, and arrived at Port Said,

ROOT TELLS WHY
STOCK IS WANTED
Ex.Secretary Argues Against
the Contentious of
Hartman.

NEWARK, N. J., May 21.-The hear
ing of arguments on the petition of E.
H. Hartman and Winslow S. Pierce
for an Injunction against the distribu-
ton of assets of the Northern Securi-
ties company was continued before
United States Judge Bradford today.
1t was decided by Judge Bradford that
the arguments of Elihu Root for the
Northern Securities company and At
torney Thatcher, representing the Ore
gon Short Line bondholders, would be
heard today, and that Messrs. Guthrie
and Johnson will be heard on Monday
at Trenton.
Mr.. Root then resumed his argument,
begun yesterday He maintained that
the decision of the courts did not ad-
Judicate the plaintiffs to be the legal
owners of the stock in question and
that the United States circuit court,
sitting at ST. Paul, had sustained his
views.
The equity in the property held by
people who had bought in the open
market, he argued, must prevail
against the claim of counsel for Harri-
man and Pierce, and 1t would be en-
tirely unjust to these people who would
be deprived of their rightful share In
all the stocks. The extra $4,000 600
which would accrue to the Hartman
interests, he insisted, would be at the
expense of the other stockholders.
The only reason for this litigation"
said Mr.. Root, lis that Northern Pa
chic stock has gone up from 113 to 135.
whereas Great Northern has dropped
from $50 to 10. The compIainants
want to get back their Northern Pa
cific because they make $4,000, O0O.',
After reading from the s1nrena
court opinion paragraphs bearing
upon the dissolution of the comnanv
Mr.. Root said the plan for the return
OF the stock was tentative. 1t had
been suggested, but was not a plan to
the exclusion of any other plan, but
one which seemed entirely suitable.
Judge Bradford asked:
If the Securities company did not ac-
qulre equitable ownership of the shares.
now could the company be justified in
treating that as its property which was
not Its property? There seems to be a
paradox in the situation
Mr.. Root replied:
The opinion of the circuit court treats
of the Securities company as owner of
the stock in question. Also. in Justice
Harlan's opinion, it is set forth that the
Securities company was the owner of the
stock, thus approving the opinion of the
circuit court. 1t is also described in Jus
tice Harlan's opinion as a holding cor
poration and trustee and custodian having
title to represent the combination. There
can be no question Of the title Of the
company. The intent Of the two parties
was to confer title upon the company
Whatever may have been the rights of
those joining in the combination. the su-
preme court decree shows no disposition
to interfere with them.

HIS SWIMMING STUNT

swimming Of the Rio Grande the day
following by two soldiers of the Kansas
regiment was given out today by Gen.
Funston:
"A body of 1000 or more Filipinos. who
were on the far side of the Rio Grande.
had been harassing the American forces.
On April rs. 1899, Gen. Funston. accom-
panied by skirmishing party, swan the
Bagbag, small stream about one hun
dred feet wide, which is tributary to
the Rio Grande.
This act has been confused with and
magnified into the swimming Of the Rio
Grande the following day, April 81. by
two soldiers from the Kansas regiment,
which preceded the routing of the 1000
FiiipinOs by forty-five American soldiers.
These soldiers carried a line with them
with which they drew across a heavier
one. To the latter raft was fastened
and drawn across. When forty-five sol
diers and Gen. Funston had been ferried
over the detachment routed the Filipinos.

are and clear the matter up"

sion company, whose bookkeeper and
confidential man he was, has been ar
rested in Ireland. His pursuit and
capture constitute a remarkable DEM
onstratfon of the possibilities of good

He left Germany for Ireland, and be-
fore he had reached the home of his
relatives was captured In Killarney's

he lost most of it playing the races in
