POOR, MISERABLE BUNGLER
Equitable Clerk Goes to the Reform.

New York, July 14.-In sentencing
Emil H. Neumer, an Equitable Life
Assurance Society clerk, to the Elmira
r~eformatory for an indeterminate PEE
Rod, for completely in the robbery of
a policy from the Equitable company's
vaults, Justice Foster of the court of
general sessions commented on other
Equitable losses. He said:
YOUR METHODS WE'RE VERY
CRUDE AND BUNGLING. II you had,
instead Of collision with an outsider.
colluded with an insider. and thereby
had your salary raised to $50, 900, and
then divided with the other man, the
result would have been more hurt

Neumer gave the policy to Samuel
Lobby, who borrowed money on 1t,
and who is now In Sing Sing for the

THE WHITE RIVER DIVISION
4 New Road That WIN Develop .
New Country Rich In Agricul.
tural and Mineral Resources.

st. Louis. July 1.-THE White River
division Of the Iron Mountain route.
between Newport, Ark, and Carthage,
Mo-, Is rapidly approaching completion.
The report Of representatives Of the
passenger department. who made q trip
w the line recently, indicates that
through trains will be running wiyhin
60 days.
MIR. H c. Townsend, general pas
senger agent, In speaking Of the new
road, said:
while several thousand tourists
have already made the trip from each
end VI the completed line, and we
hauled during the month Of June
over forty fishing parties from Car
thage. who desired to make the Ave
day float from Galena to BransOn, re-
turning on train in so minutes, for the
complete daylight run over the new
unprecedented over any line in this
part Of the country. The fishing prop
ositiOn Is becoming 70 we'll known that
q number of club houses OF the James
river. between Galena and Branson,
are now completed and are taxed to
their capacity.
THE romantic features Of the new
line are naturally the ones to attract
the most general attention, but h ag'
r%icultural and mineral possibilities
Of this new region are remarkable.
1.-THE road itself is a marvel OF en-
cheering, and the S5-pound rails, with
rock ballast. promise the highest de-
gree of speed and safety"
The road will open up n Of the
finest agricultural countries west of the
Mississippi, ard a stream of immigra-
ton will soon be pouring in. The min
eral resources of northeastern Arkan-
sas are believed by many to excel those
of southeast Missouri. where fortunes
have been made and are now being
made in lead and zinc. In the Carthage
district alone the lead and zinc mined
annually exceeds $1,000, 900, so 1t can
be understood what the road means ia
the mineral section Of Arkansas. The
new road also makes a short line be-
tween the southeast and the northwest

When preparing for the mortise,
first mark out the length Of the NOR

three mortises on the piece A, Fig.
So. The mortise gauge. shown at b, In
Fig. 81, has two spurs. whose distance
apart is regulated by the screw in the
end Of the gauge stem. and Is used to
mark the two parallel lines showing
the width Of the mortise, which in all
cases must be the exact width Of the
mortise chisel used. When mortising

ways be at the end-not at the side

of the work, thus enabling him to see
that the chisel Is held perpendicular
to the surface being mortised. 1t is
also the best position for prying out
the shavings cut by the chisel.
Clamp the piece firmly to the bench.
and with q wooden mallet drive the
chisel into the middle Of the space
marked off, as shown at B, but not
so deep that it cannot be easily drawn
out. Next set the chisel one-sixteenth
inch back from the opening thus made
and cut down a shaving to a still
greater depth as at G, and continue
cutting down and increasing the depth
at each successive cut until the full
depth of the mortise is gained.
Pry out the shavings and continue
cutting down the end of the opening
to the full depth each time, until the
end of the mortise is reached. as at D.
Reverse the front Of the chisel, and
in tho anne way cut the opposite end
of the mortise until completed, as
shown at f. Do not try to sink the
mortise a little at a time, but at every
cut. after a full depth opening has
been made, drive the chisel to the bot.
tom Of the mortise. If the shavings
are no removed from time to time,
the incomplete mortise will resemble

the enlarged view shown at F. In no
case should a chisel be used whose
edge will nOt reach from line to line
the full width of the mortise, as any
pairing or trimming of the sides of the
mortise should be avoided, as that will
make the width below the surface I'M
even and irregular. Such trimming
will be entirely unnecessary II the
operator carefully follows directions
already given.
When the mortise is to be cut
through and through. as is often the
case, the cross lines shown at A, Fig.
So, are continued, using the try-square,
across the edge of the piece and
around on the opposite side, and the
mortise gauge again used On the sec
ond side, as on the first. The mortise
is then made one-half way through
from each side.

chamfer being a carpenters term
which includes beveling.
A chamfer may be a fiat bcvel, a.
at A and B in Fig. 40. or it may be in
the form of a groove or curve. as at
G and D, while the term "beveled
edge" always indicates a fiat surface
made at any angle to the two original
surfaces.
An example of beveling is given in

It is sometimes necessary to use a

Too much care cannot be used with
small children during the hot weather
of the summer months to guard against
bowel troubles. AS rule 1t is only
necessary to give the child dose OF
castor oil to correct any disorder of the
bowels. Do not use any substitute,
but give the oldfashioned castor oil,
and see that it is fresh, as rancid oil
nauseates and has tendency to grippe.
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy and then dose OF cas-
tor oil, and the disease may be check
ed in its incipiency and all danger a.
yoided. The castor oil and this remedy
should be procured atisonce and kept
ready for instant use as soon as the
first indication of any bowel trouble
appears. This is the most successful
treatment known and may be relied
upon with implicit confidence even in
cases of cholera infantum. For sale
