Concrete Fence Posts.

Is it practicable to make a good, SER
viceable fence post out of concrete?
Wooden posts have SO advanced in price
and decreased in quality as to make
them the most expensive portion of the
fence and the least durable. j. H. H.
Sibley, Iowa.
Answer-It is not only practicable,
but it is advisable to do SO. Tamarack
fence posts 31a to inches in diameter
cost in this market from 20 to IS cents,
and they will give poor service for per-
haps ten years, while concrete post
will just about be seasoned in that
time and give century's service. The
cost will vary with the locality, but
may be easily calculated. A post
feet inches long, 6 inches square at
bottom and 4 inches square at top, will
average 5 inches square turnout it:
length and will contain 1880 cubic
inches. Allowing for the cost Of ma
Reinstatement, l sack. 50 cents; sane
and gravel, 20 cents; reinforcing metal
9 cents; labor, one man making thirty
as the cost Of four posts, which ont
sack of cement will produce, $1.06, O.
about 26 cents each; a very reasonable
cost, considering the fact that the pos
will last for generations. The rein
forcing will consist Of four No. =!
crimped wires placed one inch IN from
the angles of the post, and will Civ
the elasticity necessary to avoid break
ing in handling or shipping. The meth
fence to the posts is to place shor
pieces of bent wire in the concret
while being tamped, allowing them t.
project 21a inches from the face o
the post, and afterwards bent back fla
against the face until used, when few
twists secure the fence in place, bu
allows expansion and contraction t
take place freely without straining tn
post. This wire should be well galvan
to each post are quite sufficient to Sc
cure the fence in place. The form i
which the post is cast is made of WOO
and cannot well be described in words
but will mail you a scaled blue prin
and specifications on receipt of SO cents

The Helpful Word.

Give the young and struggling a word of encoura cement when you can. You would not leave those plants ill your window boxes without water nor refuse to open the shutters that the sunlight might fall upon them. but you would leave some human flower to sui fer from want of appreciation or the sunlight of encouragement. There are a few hardy souls that can struggle along on stony soil-shrubs that can wait for the dews and sunbeams. vines that climb without kindly training but only few Utter the kind word when you can see that it is deserved. The thought that mo one cares and no one knows blights many q bud or promise Be it the young artist at hls easel. the young preacher in his pull pit, the workman at his bench, the boy at his mathematical problems or your little girl at the piano, give what praise you can.

WHEN THE HEAD OF
 THE FIRM TAKES IT EASY

Conducting a business is like roll ing a huge boulder up hill. The moment you cease to push it, the mo- ment you take your shoulder from it and think you will rest and take it easy. the boulder begins to crowd lack upon you, and, if you are not careful. it will either run over and crush YOU. or get way from you alto aether and go to the bottom with crash. It is necessary to be everlast- ingly pushing, following up the bould- CT, keeping it going. in order to get ir to the top of the hill.
 One of the greatest dangers Of ear 1v nroseprity in any line is tendency fo relax effort Many man ceases 10 orow when his salary is raised, or when he is advanced to higher posi- tion. Many a business man. after he has built up large business, ceas- os to exert himself; and the mo- mont he pauses in his campaign Of n,,sbine and struggling, the moment he begins to relax in giving his close ,ersonal attention, his businesss ceas- es to advance, and fatal dry-rot sets

OF the many SUBJECTS which require
immediate investigation in this vast
region, perhaps none are of greater inn
portance than those with which the
science OF ethnology deals. The rapid
changes which civilization and com
merce are etfecting will soon obliter-
ate all that remains of the civiliza-
tion of a primitive people, the i'm
portanee of the study of which is best
understood when it can be truthfully
said that none of our authorities agree
on the origin or racial affinity of these
races nor do thev concur ON the direc-
tion from whence came the original
inhabitants of this great ocean.
Therefore, the main work of the
expeditions would be to study first
handed the races of man inhabiting
the Pacific, in manner similar to
that in which the Bureau of American
Ethnology has studied the American
Indian. Such work should cover their
physical, mental, linguistic, social, re-

Stanchfield answered.

Doctor, how can I go up to the

clothes?" he complained. II amt fit

Don't worry about Clothes" called
DR.. Stanchfield. I'VE have everything
you will need at the hospital"
"What. do you think of that" he ex-
claimed placing the plug in the pipe.
"A man who has been in his situation
for ten days asking for clean clothes
1 think you will find that there are
other features about this case which
are without parallel in human expert,
ence," he said to the Examiner man.
There isn't one person out of ten
thousand who would not have been
driven insane by Hicks experience, yet
he appears to be in good physical con-
dition. I judge from the strong, clear
tone of his voice that this is the case.

CHRISTMAS At
CAMP M'KINLEY

The evidence that the soldiers are
among the living and in the memory
OF some of the people was fully shown
yesterday morning, when the many
long tables at Camp Mckinley were
spread, and the call for breakfast
blown; each soldier at the camp found
on his plate neat little package, nice
ly wrapped and tied with a piece OF
white ribbon.
In each package, with the present,
was a card with no name on 1t, but
a few words written which undoubted-
ly left an impression upon each reader.
The name of the person giving these
many presents. which numbered over
two hundred, will not be made public
here. and many of the boys are yet
wondering to whom is due their appre-
citation.
The giver will never know Just the
extent of the kind thoughts given and
appreciation felt upon receiving these
presents, but 1t is hoped that at some
time to come she may be made to feel
the many blessings due her for this
noble deed; and that her Christmas and
New Year may be pleasant and hap
by, is the wish of every boy at the
camp. A SOLDIER.

The rescue of l.. B. Hicks, the en-
tombed miner, in Kern River Canyon,
Cal, was safely effected in the manner
described below and in the accompany
ing picture. A 60-foot pipe was driven
to the place where the man was caught
and through this he talked and was
fed:
BAKERSFIELD, December 1.-THE
rescue party running the tunnel to
Hicks, the entombed miner. Is tonight
directly above him, but despite this
they will not be able to take him from
his cave for many hours yet, on ac-
count of the great danger that false
stroke of the pick or too hurried prog
ress will precipitate the loosened debris
on the miner.
Early today the rescuers drove
through the last seam of granite In
which they have been working for
some time and broke into the loose
dirt and rock of the cave-in. Calcula-
tions were made and 1t was deter
mined that they were directly above
Hicks. Through the pipe the miner
shouted to the shaft above that he
could not hear the rescue party, but
that care must be taken in sinking
the last few feet, as great boulder

hung loosely above him, and that the
slightest jar might release its great
weight on his helpless body. Accord
ingly the last few feet of earth will
be bored cautiously. The rescue will
probably not be consummated before
daylight.
VOICE FROM THE TOMB.
DR.. Stanchfield was telling Hicks the
news today when the entombed man
interrupted him with: What, let the
japanese come into our schools? No,
sir! They are no better than Chinks.
1 know the pest. I was in Japan"
"Shut up. Hicks, You are fool and
n lucky one. Cheer up and strike up
tune that makes you feel like a
prince-Oh, the sun shines bright on
my Old Kentucky Home, 'tis sum-
mer-"
He sang the song through, CHEEKY
ringing voice from the grave in the
granite mountain and then for fifteen
minutes he attacked that part of the
Presidents message relating to the
Japanese question. The doctor had
read him portions of the state docu-
ment shortly before. Applause from
