A Modern Store Building.

The new store room just completed by
the Russell Gates Mercantile company,
and occupied for the first time this week
by their Elbert store, is probably the
finest and largest business room in a
small town of 250 inhabitants in East
ern Colorado. Work was commenced
last June on the now building.
The entire building is "a feet wide and
extends back distance OF 150 feet.
The rear portion, 50x54 feet, was built
three years ago and consists Of one story
and basement, the upper floor being
used as wareroom for vehicles, farm
implements, etc. The new part is 54x1O0
feet, the main store room being 54x50
feet, 14-foot ceiling, with -four room
20x54 feet in the rear, between the main
store and basement The new building
is one story brick, the outside walls
being laid with red pressed brick. The
large glass front is built in six sections
with six glasses to the section--four
large, and two small ones above. The
glass front extends to the full height OF
the ceiling. The main entrance to the
store, six feet in width, is in the center,
the doors being set in three feet. Plat
forms are built extending back from the
windows six feet, and these are enclosed
by a SIX foot partition at the rear. The
ceiling OF the main room is supported by
two rows of pillars, six in all. There are
three main aisles extending to the rear
of the room, and in the center at the
rear end is an enclosed platform which
is used as the office. A skylight is di-
rectly above the platform. The tele-
phone booth is in corner of the office
and the outside walls of the Office are
surrounded by shelving. Rows of mod
ern shelving extend along both sides of
the room and also along each side of the
center aisle.
The shelving and counters we're ali
made in the building and are commo-
dious and up to date. All the interior
wood work is stained a dark green.
The plastering of the room is Of ce-
ment- fibre hard finish A large cooling
room has been built at the right in the
rear and the company will have every
modern convenience for handling fresh
meats. There is a separate refrigerator
for butter, etc. A harness room has also
been built in the rear, opening into the
main room.
The entire building is admirably heat
ed by steam plant in the basement and
a gas lighting plant has been installed
consisting of 16 200-candle power lamps,
so arranged that the room can be lit up
almost as light as day
The room is modern one in every
particular and the people of Ebert and
vicinity. as well as the enterprising Gates
Mercantile company, are justly proud of
it. 1t is great credit to the town and
the firm that built it.
Local Managers G. M. Bodett and L..
G. Dameron are as tickled over their new
quarters as boy with his first pair OF
boots, and they have n right to be. Miss
Emily Harder, head saleslady, and John
Mitchell, head salesman. are also highly
pleased with the new store.
The complete building, including the
rear portion previously erected, repre-
sents an expenditure OF approximately
$1,000

"About week ago man, fine
looking man. came in and asked me
to write a few lines for him. He
asked my fee and I said dollar, and
he said all right, with manner that

He produced a paper and wanted me

very we'll written and he admitted
that they were in his own hand
writing. That aroused my suspicion,
and when he said that he wanted me
to change the time mentioned in the
document from ten days to three
months l thought that there was
something crooked ahoat. 1t was a
legal paper and no doubt was to be
used for wrong purpose. abso-

THE BOAST OF HEALTH.

All doctors know that just before
death the patient often experiences
what is called rally" nature max
ing apparently her last stand against
the symptoms which we call death,
and it is quite likely that the feeling
which induces men to boast of health
is of the same kind-an effort of ma
ture to protect us against the coming
sickness which the body has recog-
nized, though the mind has not. The
phenomenon occurs every day in the
cases of consumptive patients, who
brighten up and grow hopeful just
when the disease is about to strike its
hardest blows, and it is quite possible
that it is more frequent than has yet
been recognized that the approach of
fever, for example, is signaled by an
unusual consciousness of health. 81
have never felt so we'll in my life, ;"
says the patient, who twenty-four
hours after is lying PROSTATE and
whose friends quote his statement as
illustrating once more the ancient and
depressing belief.
The boast had nothing to do with
the illness, but it preceded it, and
men, attracted by the violent con-
trast, almost instinctively link the
two together as in some way and to
some extent cause and effect. Next
time those who heard it, if they feel
that rush of health in their veins, will
avoid boasting of it, and the relation
Of the two will escape attention.
Moreover, it must not be forgotten
that boasting is of itself sign Of
weakness, either temporary or per-
manent, and that consequently fail
ure follows boasting more frequently
than it follows silence. The perfect
driver says he is perfect just when he
is most careless, and the resulting
skill is remembered when the thous-
and and one escapes due to the same
drivers skill and hardihood are clean
forgotten. n.-London Spectator.

GREENHoUsE TOMATOES.

The pruning of auxiliaries or suck
ers, leaves and branches affects the
development of both the fruit and
stem of the tomato plant. With this
system of pruning, however, most of
the energies of the plant are directed
toward the leader. On the other
hand, pruning or heading in the
leader throws most of the energies Of
the plant into the fruit.
There is general relationship ex-
listing between the average weight of
individual fruits aud the number per
plant. The largest individual fruits
occur generally on those plants Civ
ing the smallest number. Pruning
tomatoes appreciably hastens maturity
of fruit and increases the size of the
same.
When no cutting of the leader took
place the average weight of the indi-
vidual fruit decreased from the single
stem to the normal or unpruned
plants, the average weight Of the
single stem fruit being II2 grams,
that of the normal eighty-four grams.
On the other hand, the smallest aver
age weight of fruit per plant occurred
on the single stem system.
THREE STEMS ON ONE STEM.
The greatest average weight on in
dividual fruit, as we'll as the greatest
average weight per plant, is given by
the three stem system where the
leader is headed in, whereas in the
average pumber of fruits per plant
this system is lowest.
The largest yield per square foot of
ground surface in our method Of cul-
ture Give square feet per plant) was
given by the three stem plants with
leader cut. The largest yield based
on trellis space was given by the one
stem system of pruning.
Undoubtedly the best system OF
growing greenhouse tomatoes is to
plant twelve to sixteen inches apart
in the rows, prune to the one stem
system and head in or cut back the
leaders above the fourth or sixth
cluster of fruit, as circumstances re-
ouire.

MEMORY OF TURTLES.

During the summer months from
May to August the big sea turtles lay
their eggs on the beach. They come
possibly hundreds of miles and if un-
disturbed will land within few yards
Of the same place year after year.
They crawl up the beach in the night
and make their nest in the sand just
above high water mark. I have
watched them from behind sandhill
but few feet away.
They dig the hole with their hind
flippers, and, after covering it over,
first filling it with eggs, they will go
few feet and make another place, ]
always thought as blind, for one
looks just like the other. They lay
each month, usually during the high
tides of that month, beginning in
May and ending in August, from 90
to I85 eggs.
During the summer / found and
brought into camp 2,755 eggs. Iput
some in the sand near our camp, and
in twenty-seven days the top eggs
hatched, the rest in three days more.
The little turtles would dig out, raise
their little heads and sniff the air a
moment, then start for the river, 100
yards away. 1t was always mys
tery to me how turtle could find the
same place on the shore when a short
distance out at sea it all looks alike
Just sandy ridges, with scrub palmet
to and coarse grass.-Fo1est and

her duty is, but perhaps she feels in
her heart that the outside world wields
a greater influence over her children
than she can, and therefore she be-
comes untitled for her work. She can
not always keep her dear ones about
her. They go out from home to big
extravagant schools with their secret
fraternities and breakneck sports; to
the great stores all a-glitter or to
churches SO gorgeous that there is
small place in them for the poor. Aud
then perhaps the children come back
to the country home, dissatisfied, and
think that out in the big world they
can have more fun and find plenty of
money for all things. So they go,
victims of the world glare and the
mothers counsel is forgotten.
But that counsel will return to
those children like bread cast upon
the waters and when they have
tasted of the worlds hollowness, and
found how ready people are to abuse
them, they will realize that there is
no love like that of good mother.
Then they will be ready to call her
blessed. .-Ma,y Sidney in Farm /ouy-
