agine that is is necessary to have
a building with double walls, the
two parts Of the wall being Is
inches apart; but such an expen.
sive building is inadvisablc in
the experiment to be made here
and its value is questionable
many times when the cost is con.
sidered. II a building can be
put on the north side of q larger
building it will be we'll, or a
cheap shed can be built where
trees will shade it. DO not put
the house anywhere where il
will be impossible to give good
drainage. This point is abou,
as important as any in packing
ice, as water about ice melts /,
rapidly. Any sort of siding will
do that will keep sawdust from
dropping through, and any kind
Of roof will be satisfactory tina,
will keep rain from leaking 10,

ice in square blocks. so il can bs
stacked close. Stack il 80 thu

inches to any side Of the build,
ing. After the ice is stacked ill
ia with sawdust the Is inches
between the ice and the sides ol
the building. The door can b
closed up by boards resting ia
groovcd sidcpieces. 30 the open
ing can be closed up or opened
according to the height Of the
ice. When removing ice keer
what remains thickly covered
with sawdust always. II air cir.
culates over the ice il will keer
out dampness and do rather
more good than injury.

II docs not suffice 10 secure

While sitting on the porch At their
home on East Fifth street about 3
O'Clock last Saturday evening. Mr..
and Mrs. P. v. Miller noticed a
bright light in the backyard Of
Charles A. loves residence. and
on further investigation found that a
lively fire had started in a pile of
kindfing wood near the barn. They
quickly attached the hose TO the hy-
drant and turned on the water and
soon had the fire under control, and

About 10 o'clock. fearing a spark

Mr.. Miller returned, but could find
no trace Of any.
About 3 O'Clock in the morning {.
A. Beerbohm, who lives just west of

yelled, There's fire in your back
yard; get out and put it out; I'm on
my way to catch train and haven't
time To stop. Get move on, Good
bye"
Mr.. Beerbohm proceeded TO get
busy and found fire in the same
place but under better headway.
He sent in hurry up call for the
fire department. and although they
made quick run the fire was under
control with the use of the garden
hose before il arrived. and the
flames were quickly extinguished.
The origin of the fire is a mystery.
Mr.. Lowe and family are in Ia

pied by Mr.. Duffy. Neither Mr..

0osws, Institute.

The Eighth District Normal lnsti-
tute closed Friday afternoon after
a two weeks session. The after
noon was devoted to entertainment,
and the house was crowded with
teachers and citizens TO hear the
program. The mothers of the chill
dren. who had been instructed by
Mrs. Sibley during the institute,
had been invited and Mrs. Sibley
conducted the class as usual, show
ing the great advancement they had
made during so short time.
Each of the instructors was then
impersonated by one Of the teachers.
Miss Myrtle Marshall with a num-
ber Of lady teachers acting as chill
dren impersonated Mrs. Sibley and
her primary class to perfection.
Charles Brown then impersonated
DIR. ID. f. Phillips. the conductor Of
the institute. in a lecture on psy-
chology summing up some of the
ridiculous things that had been done.
II. G. Jones. county superintendent
Of Baca county. impersonated Prof.
Hess in his classes in history. arith-
metic. geography and science. show
ing up the humorous side to good
advantage.
Mrs. Bell was represented by Miss
Billingslea. Of Holly. in a fairy story
nicely written in which the institute
was the scene and the teachers and
instructors the fairies. Miss Lusk
and her music class was well imper-
sonated by Miss Grace Davis, who
initiated her methods to perfection.
The whole program was very
amusing and well rendered.
The instructors and county super
intendent gave short talks dwelling
on the standard of excellency the in
stitute had reached, and expressing
their gratitude to the teachers for
their earnest work.
The total enrolment was one hun
dred and twenty-eight. the largest
attendance ever reached in this dis
trict The instructors have done
their work so well that it aIRhe gen :

One day some hundreds of years ago
the Duke of Gloucester, afterward
Richard III. and Wat Tyler were walk

on one house began TO smoke.

THE tree which produces that

elegant. il not the largest. Of
the country in which it is found.
and frequently grows In the crevices
Of rocks. The appearance of so large
a vegetable production in such a situ-
alton is extremely curious and pictur-
esque. and is to be accounted for from
the construction of the seed. which is
like that of the thistle. winged, or ca
pable of being borne along by the
action of the air, and in that manner
deposited in holes and assures in the
rocks, where 1t speedily vegetables and
springs up. AS long as the plant re-
mains young the place in which il is
found is sufficiently large for it's
growth. but as it increases in size the
roots gradually. but irresistibly, force
asunder the walls OF their rocky pris-
ons and throw off large portions of
stone.
