on edge and nailed to both the studding
and to the other two sills. The corner
posts are constructed of two 2x6 pieces
boxed together.
The studding are 2x6 inches and
placed two feet apart. A portion of the
trestle is made of 2x4 pieces. The pur-
lines would be better If wider timber,

carrier Mr.. Keller uses slings for
drawing hay and finds they work very

Anyone looking at this barn cannot
fail to notice the simple arrangement.
Mr.. Keller planned 1t himself and con-
structed 1t to meet his requirements.
Certain It is that the doing away with
the posts and cross beams facilitates
putting in and taking out the hay. And
SO long as it is strong 1t would seem
that the plan is worthy of consideration
to farmer who Is about to build an
inexpensive barn.
Not only this, but also the expense
recommends 1t to the prospective
builder. A barn Of this size, 32x4S feet,
with two additions, 17x4S feet, ordi-
narily would cost $1,000. Whereas the
total cost Of this one, including mate
rial, track. labor, etc., was but $500.
No grain is kept in the barn. although
few bins could easily be provided II

TREES OF MANY FRUITS.
How a Small Lot Was Made to Yield
Many Varieties of Luscious
Fruits.

Many people who live on city lots
long for fruit trees OF their own from
which they can gather fresh fruit in
stead of being dependent on the mar
kets, but owing to cramped garden area
they feel that an orchard Is an impos-
sibility. Mr.. Vaughn. of Pasadena,
was confronted by just such problem,
but he has cleverly found way out
of the difficulty. On the back of his
He planted naval oranges and peaches
and plums, and when they had become
strong and sturdy he grated and
budded other varieties into them. The
operations were all successful, and now
Mr.. Vaughn has numerous varieties OF
fruit that ripen at all times of the year
and furnish an abundance for table use.
On one naval orange tree Mr.. Vaughn
budded a tangerine, a grape fruit, a
lemon and a blood orange, making, with
the naval orange itself, five kinds OF
fruit on one tree. They all bear pro-
fusely, and the fruits of extraordinar-
lily large size The peach trees were
budded with numerous varieties of ear.
ly and late peaches, as well as aprlcOts
and nectarines. These trees bear from
July l to November IL. The plum trees
have been induced to produce many
kinds of plums. Ii all the fruit raised
from these six trees came from individ
ual trees OF their own kind, it would
take five acre ranch to accommodate
them.-Country Life in America.

U. P. WORK STOPPED.
All Men In North Topeka Reconstruct
ton Yards Discharged.

]. D. Berry, chief engineer of the
Union Pacific. passed through Topeka
Wednesday afternoon going east on a
hand car inspecting the lines. While
here he stopped at the new material
yard east of the junction. He ordered
all of the laborers dismissed and also
had the boarding cars taken out. N.
+. Kiss, the foreman, is the only one
left of the force and he has been put
on night duty to guard against fire
from sparks from engines of passing
trains as the ties have been treated
and are very combustible.
1t will likely be several months be-
fore operations are resumed, probably
not until March first. There seems
to be much preliminary work to do
yet between here and Kansas City, in
many places an additional right of
way will have to be secured. In many
places the river will have to be en-
croached upon and some riprapping
done. The double track between here
and Kansas City will likely be built in
sections.
The reason the company has not
purchased any right of way north of
the Shawnee county line, it is stated,
is because the present survey requires
some heavy cuts to be made and this
riman.
L. B. Merriam. chief engineer in
charge of the Topeka & Northwestern
line, has moved his Office to Kansas
City and is busy on a new profile of the
line north of the Shawnee county line.
The ties that come in now will be
turned over to the operating depart
ment to be distributed along the line
for repairs of the old road bed.

Mr.. RoWett does not like some of
the dispatches that have been printed
about him. He says he is compelled
to ask questions of county treasurers
wherever he goes, and local reporters
and other strangers listen to him. He
says he has tried to keep the news
papers where he has been from print
ing anything about his visits, because
he does not want to answer questions
and does not want to advertise his in
designations. He says his reports to
the governor tell the truth, and that
is all he cares to say.

SCiatiC Torture
Pain Suffered by Mr. Marston as Great
as Mortal Can Stand.
For Six Months He Could Not Turn in
Bed-IIe Tells of Remedy
Which Has Given Per-
feet Relief

Most sufferers from the acute and
persistent tortures of sciatica regard
themselves as prisoners to pain for life.
The case of Mr.. Marston shows that
Sc1atlca can be cured, and no one af-
fiicted by it should allow himself to be
disheartened. He was first stricken
about year ago and for six months
he suffered pain, which he thinks the
most intense that any man could pos
sibly stand
Asked about the details of his re-
narkable recovery Mr.. Marston gave
the following account: Il was attack
ed by a numbness or dull feeling just
back of my right hip, and every step I
took after that caused me pain. I
didn't know what the matter was, but
thought 1t was simply a stiffness that
would wear away in a short time. 1t
didn't, however, and soon the pain be-
came SO very bad that every step was
torture for me. When 1 finally sue
ceeded in getting home, it was just as
much as 1 could do to reach my room
and get to bed.
1.-THE doctor was sent for, and when
he had examined me he said I had
sciatica. He prescribed for me and adj
vised me not to try to leave my bed.
The advice was unnecessary for L
couldn't get out of bed if wanted to.
1t was even impossible for me to turn
from one side to the other. The mo-
ment attempted to move any part of
my body. the pain became SO excruciat
ing that I would have to stop and lie
perfectly motionless.
Il suffered this torture for six months
without getting any relief. Then 1 dis
charged the doctor, and on the advice
of a friend I bought box of DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills and began to take
them, three at a dose, three times day.
was determined to give them thor
ough trial.
1.-Two months after 1 began to use
them l was able to leave my bed and
walk about the house, and a month
later 1 was entirely cured and able to
go about my work as usual. I honestly
believe that If I had used them at first,
would have been cured still more
quickly. 1 think DR.. Williams Pink
Pills are the best medicine I ever used,
and heartily recommend them to any
one who suffers from sciatica.''
Mr.. Marston is a prosperous farmer
and may be reached, by all who desire
further particulars, by mail addressed
to Charles P. Marston, Hampton, P. O.,
New Hampshire.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are equally
successful in curing other painful
nervous disorders such as neuralgia,
partial paralysis and locomotor ataxia,
and diseases of the blood such as rheu-
matism. They are sold by all druggists.

WON'T BE vaCCINATED.
Order of City Physician VIII Be
Resisted.

People down in the east part of the
city have hired c. A. Magaw as their
attorney, and expect to make fight
in the courts against the order of the
board of health that all the scholars
at Branner school must be vaccinated.
There are a large number of people
down there who do not believe in vac
cination. They think that it is a use
less and dangerous freak of medical
for it.
The case will probably come up
when these people attempt to send
their children to school without the
necessary certificate of vaccination.
They will probably bring mandamus
proceedings or something of the sort
to compel the board to reScind its or
der. Among those who are interested
in the movement are the following:

Rosander, 513 Chandler; John Bartle-
street; Mr.. Clark. S21 CHESTNUT street.

linn said today: 1--WE don't know yet
just what our legal rights are. Our
attorney is looking the matter up, and
we propose to go after this city physi
clan if there is any chance. People
down here are highly indignant at his
methods. and it seems queer that we
can't have a change. We will fight
this thing through to the courts of last
resort if necessary. 1 suppose that we

barred from Quincy school. We have
not talked to any north side people,
but we feel confident that there are
many over there who resent this order
of the city physician.
