HIS RADICAL VIEWS
Y asss YgE
BRIEF LECTURE BY MCDONALD,
THE IcoNocLAsT.
His Ideas on the Subject OF the Do
mestic Differences of the o'Hooii-
*, hans Are Interesting II
Not Instructive.

Mcdonald was known among his
friends as an fconoclast. His greatest
delight was to smash images. One of
his particular cronies was Perkins.
When Perkins wanted a little enter
tainment in the evening he had a way
of getting q few congenial spirits
around table IN a cafe and after q
few round of drinks had percolated
through their systems he would bring
up some abtruse subject and hear Nc
Donald's radical views. He always
felt sure that Mcdonald would take
the opposite side from the generally
accepted view OF any subject.
It was at one of the usual evening
gatherings when the circle of inti-
mates were seated in their usual cozy
corner. When Perkins noticed Nc
Donald finish his fourth rickey he laid
down an afternoon paper he had been
glancing over and remarked:
II see a fellow named O'Hoolihan
has been fined for beating his wife. !
think any man who would beat his
wife ought to be tied up to lamp
post and given about 86 lashes on his
bare back"
Mcdonald assumed an aggressive
attitude at once and hastily swallowed
something in his throat.
You do, do you," he said; well,
now, let me tell you something. 4
don't know this man O'Hoo1ihan, but
I've ten-spot here in my pocket that
says Mrs O'Hoolihan got what was
coming to her. The chances are that
O'Hoolihan had been swinging Q pick

room, and it is very cheap way to
build stair. The shape of the roof
over the kitchen makes a good place
for two store rooms, without going
up to the attic. Store rooms are ap.
.preciated by every housekeeper.
There are always things to put away
in the spring that are not wanted un.
til winter, and there are other things
to put away in the fall that are not
wanted until spring. It is unusual to
find house with accommodations for
this kind of stuff. Some of it is not
worth very much, but it Is too good
to throw away, and some of 1t is too
valuable to put in the attic or cellar,
and this arrangement provides a
splendid place for 1t.
A woman can take great deal OF
interest in fixing up house like this,
because she has something to work
in. It is big enough, 1t is light and
airy, and it looks well from the out
side. If it is placed in a pleasant
neighborhood, the view through the
the cellar from the kitchen is the
most convenient arrangement yet de.
vised. The IL by 15 cellar extension
IN the front makes the very best cold
storage for fruit and vegetables, a
feature that is thoroughly appreciated
by, fore-handed housewives who un.
derstand how to buy in quantities for
half the money and how to have q
supply on hand for weeks and months
ahead. Such management saves not
only money, but time and labor, be.
cause there Is less running to get the
necessary supplies at the last minute

For aScountrys house or a corner

appropriate. It often happens that

very little used, but the family is not

times during the winter. This plan
provides for . cozy compact house of
six rooms with two store rooms with
out counting the parlor and spare
bedroom. In this way it is easy to
economize on fuel and still have all
the comforts OF warm, we'll ar

the plan is complete. There is plen.

The specifications call for a screen
over the opening to the cold air duct
which furnishes the air to the fur
mace. but the owner is. supposed to
see that screens are made for every
window and every door. Good wire
screens have received a great deal of
attention In the United States Of late.
Twenty-Five years ago It. was COM

manufacturing, however. have pro-
duced q wire screen that Is thorough
ly satisfactory, even in salt water air.
The advantages and comforts of a

this gives an opportunity for flies to
dodge In. Flies know where the doors
are and roost there, waiting for -

house they are In trap and don't
know how to get out, and they
wouldn't 90 out if they did. Too often

then garbage and other loud smelling
material is left about to draw flies.

lined up at the contractors shanty
window Saturday night and pulled
down his envelope with 50 in 1t he
was not saying anything about it be-
ing a shame to take the money.
C'Hoolihan felt as il It came pretty
near being his 50 that he was pulling

And about what happened is that
C'Ifeohhan stopped in at Jerry's and
had one or two with the boys working
on his trick and fed nickle or so
into the slot of the automatic banjo
and heard it say plink-plunk, pink
plunk, plinkty- -plinkty -plunk, in a way
that reminded him Of his boyhood
days and he was happy. When he
got home, where he ought to expect
peace and comfort, he met a towselled

had spent $3.50 OF his own money, but
he did not feel like criminal. He
was in a mental condition where II
he had been treated right he would
have acted the model husband and
turned over the balance of his weeks

asked for carfare on Monday, but at
the same time he was not going to
sidestep trouble If it came his way,
and so when Mrs. O'Hooly made a

planter, has wonderful curiosity on
his farm. It is a sycamore tree three
feet high, which has actually pene-
trated through a solid brick, simply
by the force of its own growth and
come through healthy on the other
side. It seems that the brick was Inn
bedded solidly into the top Of the soil.
and that a seed was buried some
inches beneath it. When the seed put
forth sturdy sprout it slowly, week
by week, ground its way through the
resisting sand and clay Of the brick
and finally emerged on the top side.
