Unfolding the small piece of paper that

to get his microscope, which was on a
desk behind him.
While his back was turned a roguish
student quickly swept the hairs off the

Mrs. Jobson's Tact
A CHRISTMAS STORY

While making her Christmas-shop-
ping rounds the other day, Mrs. Jobson
espied, in furrier's window, a squirrel
coat which she instantly concluded was
Just about right.
That" said Mrs. Jobson to herself,
amiably, but determinedly squaring her
chin, will be my Christmas present from
Mr.. Jobson."
Whereupon she entered the furrier's
establishment and tried on the squirrel
coat 1t fitted her perfectly.
''You may consider the coat Sold said
Mrs. Jobson to the furrier. But place
1t back in the window. shall want my
husband to see it there. BY the way, |
wish you would drape it on winCow
model with dark hair, instead of On that

into the meaning Of her smile and smiled
back. 81 shall pay you $40 on the coat
now, to bind the bargain. When my huS-
band pays you the full price of the coat
which he will, within few days-why
Shall have you return the $40 to me-"
"Oh, understand, thoroughly
madam" said the furrier, with another
shrewd smile.
That evening, at the dinner table, Mrs
Jobson, by imperceptible stages, led thu
talk around to the subject CT Christmas

then thoughtful, when she had impressed
upon him the nearness of the great fes-

PREPARE FOR ICE HARVEST
Plans for Storage House That Will
Protect the Ice During the Hot
Days of Summer.

The time of preparation Tor harvest
ing the ice crop is again at hand. Some
who have employed very temporary
structures for the storage of their Ice
in the nast are now thinking of build
ing something better and more perma-
nent. Others will cut ice for the first
time this year. We are glad to see
this, as an abundance of ice on every
northern farm should be considered not
a luxury, but necessity.
There are two or three weak points
in the general construction OF buildings
for the storage of ice. The first is in
making a poor foundation, thus secur-
ing a lack of drainage. The second is
q kind of roof, on which the sun gen.
crates such intense heat that the inside
| of the house is more like an oven than
place for keeping ice. While little
scope is usually given in the selection
of site there are certain precautions
| to be taken in order to secure a good
bed of ice. The following is a very
good general plan:
If the site chosen be on little rise
above the adjacent ground level, sur
face drainage will give no trouble: 9th
erwise provision for it, as we'll as fol
the water from the melting ice, must be
made. For preparation for the founda
ton of the house, which can be placed

BARN BURNED.
Tde Kysar Livery Equipment aud Thlr-

Other Damage.

Complete destruction Of their barn
the loss of thirteen horses, all Of theil
buggieS, carriages, harness and othel
equipment is the loss sustained by the
KySar Brothers In the fire last Thurs
day evening. Besides the loss OF theil
own property, team blonging to j
B ElrOd of GlenwoOd, one belonging
to Mr.. Findley, Of Speed, and colt
belonging to Ed Page Of this place
persisted in the flames. The loss is
variOuSly estimated but probably ag'
gregateS 81, 500, with insurance amount
ing to 81 900.
The origin of the fire Is unknown.
1t was first discovered about nine
O'Clock by parties at the bowling alley
who Immediately gave the alarm, but
even then the fire was under such
Roadway that to save the barn or any
considerable portion Of its contents
was an impoSsibilly. ItSeems to have
started 10 the south east corner Of the
hay loft and spread with amazing
rapidity envsloping the whole struc-
ture In a mass OF flame In the space of
ten minutes. When the alarm was
given, S. e. Kysar, George Plotner
and Mr.. Gingles were In the office and
were not aware Of the fire until told
OF it, when they attempted to rescue
the horses but were compelled to seek
safety for themselves. Three or four
horses broke out Of the barn but were
badly burned.
The fire was not accompanied by
wind and the millions Of sparks which
might have carried destruction to va
rous parts Of the city were waited dl.
rectiy upward and thus rendered prop
erty harmless. Watchers with buck.
cts and water guarded every nearby
building. The intense heat fired the
residence Of Mrs. Burst which is locat-
ed but a few feet from the Inflated
barn but hard lighting saved 1t with
only slight damage the north wall
having been burned through in sever
al places.
This is the third livery barn which
has been destroyed within two years.
The similarity OF conditions under
which these fires have occurred has led
some to believe that they have been
Of incendlary origin but so far as
