better get out" and so we went out Of
the palace while the kings retainers
were filling him with ice water. Well,
they got the cayenne pepper out of him,
because we saw him at the bull-fight in
the afternoon, but for awhile he had
the hottest box there ever was outside
of a freight train, and if he lives to
be as old as Mr.. Methuselah, he will
always remember his interview with
little Hennery.
The bull-fight amt much. Bulls como
in the ring mad as wet hens, cause they
stick daggers in them, and they bell
low around, and the Spaniards dodge
and shake red rags at them, and after
bull has ripped mess of bowels out
of a few horses, then man with sabre
stabs the bull between the shoulders,
and he drops dead, and the crowd cheers
the assassin of the bull, and they bring
in another bull.
Well, sir, dad came mighty near his
finish at the bull-fght. When the
second bull came in, and ripped the
stomach out of blind horse, and the
bull was just charging man who was
to stab it, dad couldn't stand it any
longer, and he climbed right over into
the ring, and he said: Look ahere, you
heather, protest. in the name of the
American Humane Society, against this
cruelty to animals, and unless this bust
ness stops right here, will have this
place pulled, and"
Well, sir, you would of thought that
bull would have had sense enough to
see that dad was his friend, but he
probably couldn't understand what dad
was driving at, for he made rush for
dad, and dad started to run for the
fence, and the bull caught dad just like
dad was sitting in rocking chair, and
tossed him over the fence, and dad s
pants stayed on the bulls horns, and
dad landed in amongst a lot of male
and female grandees, and everybody
yelled: Bravo, Americana" and the
police wrapped blanket around dads
legs and were going to take him to the
emergency hospital, but / claimed dad,
and took him to the hotel. Yours,

Peace-Time Armies

OF all great nations the United States
of America has in it's peace-time
standing army the smallest number Of
soldiers in proportion to extent of
population, namely, one soldier to
every 1000 citizens. The opposite ex-
IRENE, curiously enough, is reached by
another repulsic-France-which has
one soldier to every 70 of its popLla-
ton. Italy has one soldier to every
100 subjects; Germany, one to 1O7;
Austro Hungary, one to 125, and
Great Britain one soldier to every 225
subjects. Belgium, having a popula-
ton of not more than 100000, has one
soldier to every 100 inhabitants. Rus
STA has one soldier to every lao of its
subjects; Japan, one to $50.

Everlasting Ice Cream.

Minneapolis. -The state dairy and
food commission has sample OF ice
cream that possesses wonderful merits.
1t tastes deliciously, melts in the
mouth almost as easily as butter, looks
enticing, and retains all its splendid
qualities just as we'll in leather
satchcl as on block of ice. It is the
kind of product the housewife can buy
a week before she gives an ice cream
party or ladies' aid societies can keep
what Is left over from one ice cream
social until the time time rolls around
for similar function.
]. G.. Fowler, food inspector of the
department, purchased this wonderful
ice cream from one of Minneapolis
most popular parlors. 1t was COM

FIG 50.

The piece C. Fig. 81. must be made
first just as A is made in Fig. So
After the shoulder and face have been
tested and made true, lay out the
dovetail as shown at X, and cut away
the surplus wood. Having finished C,
lay it in its proper position on D, u.s.
ing the dOvetail cut on it as a pattern
by which to mark d. In this way any
slight variations in c will be com
pensated for in D.
The same method must be followed
when making the joint shown in Fig.
SO. The saw must be used in both
cases for cutting all shoulders, and
the waste wood removed from the re-
cesses in D and F with a chisel. In
order to do this in F, at least two ex-
ira saw cuts must be made in the
wood to be removed so as to allow the
chips to come out freely without bind
ing on and marring the sharp angels
of the dovetail
The doyetail connections shown in
Figs. SO and 102 enter so largely into
all table, case and other work hay

shown at x in Fig. 100. The line
marks the length of the dovetail
lemons, the depth for the mortises
from the ends of the pieces, and serves
also as guide for cutting out the
waste wood between the lemons. Spe-
cial attention is called to the dove
tail tenon as distinguished from the
dovetail mortise. This is clearly
shown in Fig. 80 and must be kept in
mind to avoid confusion.
lon the outer or face side of all dove
tail work the tenon should not be
thicker than Il of an inch, as shown
at in Fig. 101, but it is the custom
to make the two outside lemons 3-16
of an inch, instead of u of an inch
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1905-09-08

the size of the lemons always remains
the same as given above, the spaces
between the lemons alone being vari-
able.
At A in Fig. 100 the thickness of
the piece is given at " of an inch,
and We wish here to call attention to
the fact that the size of the tenon on
the back does not change with the
thickness of the wood, which, if rs or
x of an inch, will still remain 5-16
and * of an inch, but the bevel or
taper will be less. These rules were
invariably observed in all first-class
work made by hand before machine
dovetails came into use.
After the gauge lines have been
made on each side Of the piece on
which the lemons are to be cut, it is
placed end up in the bench wise and
the two SIG of an inch distances for
the end lemons are marked on the
front edge of the end. Next space the
remaining inside space into three
equal parts with dividers, and from the
points thus obtained mark the " of
an lncn dimensions Tor the TWO inside
lemons. Then mark sic of an inch

in the extreme right-hand tenon at A,

3-16 of an inch mark in front, to the
sic of an inch mark at the back. The
angle thus obtained on the bevel will
be the correct taper for the sides of all
the lemons, which need be spaced, as
directed above, on the front ange only.
The bevel, if correctly set, will give
the exact size at the back
The back saw is used for cutting the
sides of the lemons, after which the in

Madrid. Spain.-My dear Uncle: You
probably think that we are taking our
lives in our hands by coming to Spain,
so soon after the Cuban war, in which
President Roosevelt charged up San
Juan hill. in the face of over 80 blood
thirsty Spaniards, and captured the
blockhouse on the summit of the hill,
which was about as big as a switch
mans shanty, and wouldn't hold two
platoons of infantry, OF IL men to the
platoon. without crowding, and which
closed the war, after the navy had ever
lastingly paralyzed the Spanish vessels,
and sunk them in wet water, and picked
up the crews and run them through
clothes wringers to dry them out; but
we are as safe here as we would be on
South Clark street, in Chicago.
Do you know, when l read of that
charge of our troops up San Juan hill,
headed by our peerless bear hunter,
thought it was like the battle of Gettys-
burg, where hundreds of thousands of
men fought on each side, and 1 classed
