And that was the way IL was built.
Mr. AIDE is no amateur at farming
He started as a farmer and as a hui
morist quite early. The postmaster at
Kentland Ind, where the author OF
"Fables In Slang and The College
Widow" was born In 1866, is quoted as
saying, "He was considered the best
story teller we had in town. and have
heard it said that he could milk a cow
quicker than anybody else I'm the neigh
borhood"
Speaking OF his early days on a farm,
Mr.. AIDE once told a story of a little
boy who on seeing n pan of warm,
freshly drawn milk inquired where the
COWS got IT,
''Where do you get your tears?" was
the reply.
Gee exclaimed the yOungster "Do
you have to spank the cows?'
Mr.. Ade was n newspaper writer on
the funny side Of life, and the transit

comic opera librettist was easy.

many dining-rooms that are larger
than this are so cut into with projec-
tions that it is almost impossible to
accommodate anyone extra without
considerable Inconvenience These
are the little things that go to make
up good house plan great many
houses are very disappointing when
finished because such details have not
been carefully worked out in the plan
Things that look well on paper often
are dismal failures when the test Of
practical use is applied
Although the house Is quite large
and roomy, it is not necessarily ex-
penslve. Under favorable circum-
stances, where the cost OF material is
not excessive, and where carpenter
work can be had at reasonable prices,
the house should be built with ordi-
nary inside inish for from $4,000 to
81 500, but of course man can put
$500 or 5000 on top Of this in expen-
sive inside finish, if he has the money
to spare, with perfect impunity. A
CRATE and mantel, for instance, may
cost $50 or they may cost 5000 or 5000.
The fire In a $50 CRATE will burn as
brightly as II will in the other. Often
the extra expense is suggestive OF
ostentation, but some men possess
the art of lavish expenditure without
this accompanying curse. There is a
great deal in the way in which thing
is done.

GEN. WHEELER Dead
Hero of Two Wars and Great
Cavalry Leader
LOST BATTLE WITH PNEUMONIA
Famous Confederate Cavalry Leader
and Brigadier General in United
States Army Since Spanish War,
With Intervening Career in Con-
gress, Passes Away.

New York, Special-General Joseph
Wheeler, the famous Confederate
leader and brigadier general of the
United States Army, since the war
with Spain, died at 5:35 Thursday
afternoon at. the home Of his sister,
Mrs. Sterling Smith, in Brooklyn.
The veteran of two wars was SO years
old, but in spite Of his age, there was
hope until Thursday Of his recovering
from the attack Of pneumonia which
caused his death.
1t has not yet been decided where
the body will be buried, but probably
it will be in Arlington Cemetary, near
Washington.
General Wheeler was taken i'll six
days ago at his sisters home, where
he has been living recently. He con-
tracted a severe cold, which develop
ed into pleurisy and pneumonia. From
the first, his age told against him,
but the family did not give up hope
until the disease was found to have
affected both lungs.
General Wheeler's immediate rela-
tevis were all with him. His daugh-
ter, Mrs. W. J. Harris, and the Miss
es Anne, Lucille and carrie Wheeler,
had been sommoned from the South
and arrived early in the week. His
son, Major Joseph Wheeler, Jr., U. S.
A, now stationed at West Point, was
also present, as we'll as General
Wheeler's sister, Mrs. Sterling Smith,
and her son.
The family were summoned to the
bedside Of the patient at midnight
when the doctors in consultation con
cluded that re end was but a matter
Of hours. The general was then
awake and conscious and his mind was
apparently active. He seemed tc
know that death was approaching.
Gen. Wheeler was never again more
than seml-conscious. He fingered I'M
til evening and then passed away.
To Be Buried at Arlington.
Washington, Superintendent JOS
eph Wheeler, whose death occurred In
New York, will be buried in the Nat
ional Cemetary at Arlington with the
full MILITARY honors due an officer Of
