Jewell, Sept. 25.-Driving along
country roads these days one sees on
almost any of the adjoining farms i'm
provements recently made or in pro-
cess of construction. He notices also
that those who are doing this work
are employing very different methods
and materials from those used but a
few years ago. Like railroad builders
and Improvements and are seeking per-
manence as wei las beauty and utility.
An example was noticed in the meth
cd of fencing the grounds on which
stands rural school house not far
from here. Large, round cedar posts
were used, and each one was set III
cement; those posts will not rot nor
be moved from their present position
for good many years.
This town has concern which man
ufactures cement fence posts, building
blocks and cement tile. The latter are
made on the spot where they are to be
used, are said to equal clay tile in quail

entees of the process, who are local
men, believe they have made great
Improvement in thing and are busy
putting in drains for landowners in
this vicinity. They say there is an in
creasing demand for cement fence
posts and believe that the wooden post
will soon be generally abandoned.
Mr.. r. +. Sollitt is engaged in some
experimental work with cement as
building material, on his big farm near
Goldfield, which the whole community
is watching with interest. He has
built machine shed 100 feet long,
fourteen feet wide and eleven feet high,
about the only wood used in the build
ing being windows, doors and roof and
the latter is to be covered with ia"
paper and coated with cement. The
walls are six inches thick and were
formed by filling in between tempor-
airy plank frames which were later re-
moved. Sand and cement were mixed
in the proportion of seven parts of the
former to one Of the latter A large
workshop has been built on the place
in the same manner, small pieces of
plank were worked in on the inner side
of the walls as they were being erected
to permit of shelves being nailed to
them. No expert work is necessary
and Mr.. Sollitt says he can build six
inch cement wall with less expense
than a two-inch wall of wood.
His method of mixing the ingredients
of his building material is unique. He

to a gravel pit not far away. The de-
sired amount of sand and gravel Is
then shoveled in, the door closed AMI
the mixture rolled to tank near the
building site. Water is added. there, a
few turns taken about the barn yard
and the process of mixing is finished
all by one man and with very little
effort. In building the machine shop,
hollow blocks were made for the lower
part of the walls; some difficulty was
encountered to prevent the cement
from spreading into the hollows and
hay was used to fill the cavities ard
prevent it. One of the party to which
this was explained remarked that the
hay would make excellent nests for
mice. An inquisitive listener asked
how the mouse could ever get in and
was promptly informed that that was
the mouse's business, not his.
One would hardly expect to find
summer following voluntarily practic-
ed on a valuable Iowa farm these
days, but there is a 120-acre farm
near here which has received no at
tention whatever this season in the
way of cultivation. It's owner, who
lives on the place, has for several
years rented the land with the stipu-
lation that it was to be- devoted to
corn. For year or two the corn root
worm has almost destroyed the crop
and last spring nobody could be found
to farm the place as the owner de-
manded it should be done and the only
crop 1t has produced this year is a
magnificent growth Of weeds. There
was talk among the residents Of the
neighborhood it is said. to bring suit
against the owner to compel him to
farm the land or allow some one else
to do so. but there seemed to be no
law covering the subject and the mat
ter was dropped. The proprietor is an
eccentric bachelor who lives alone and
those passing the place sometimes re-
port heated alternatives and denials
which are delivered beyond a doubt

When the day of settlement arrived

for such labor was only half that

that each child retain its first earnings

A PANTHER HUNT IN ESCAMBIA COUNTY
By Mrs. Lillian 6. Barrow, jackson, Alabama.

ID was some years ago, when the
couaty Of Escambia, Fla, was almost
an unbrOken woodland, where now il
is dotted W IN villages and saw mills
and the panther, though rarely seen,
was known TO haunt the swamp lands
OF the small rivers Of Florida.
Where this hunt took place, is now
q thriving manufacturing town on the
PerdidO river five miles from the main
railroad and II miles above the city
Of Pensacola, yet doubt if any of the
citizens Of the town that stands white
and busy on this spot, have ever heard
the story.
The man actor in the hunt is now
q man past middle age He was a
boy in his early teens then, and the
men Of the party have passed into the
beyond.
This is the story as it was told to
me by the man, who was then a little
boy:
Il had finished my days work on
the farm where / called my home and
was hurrying eagerly by the light of
the moon, TO the house of a fr' end,
Mr. Hallman by name, where / expect
ed to participate n a fox hunt that
night ! had several miles to 20 and
only g foot path to travel, but with
eagerness known only 10 boy, made
light Of the loneliness Of the journey
by Whistling in my happ. lest mood.

ers Of imitation palms, and worship
ers linger on the steps of st. Peters
and other churches to buy these SYM
bols Of the day. On Easter morning
priests may be seen on their way to
bless the breakfast Of the people. This
meal consists for the most part Of eggs
and sausages, and the blessing Of it is
considered essential by every devout
Catholic.
Another quaint custom that is still
observed in Rome is that Of spider
sweeping on Easter. 1t is meant to
typify cleansing. Vendors on the
streets have small brooms fixed at the
ends of long haniles for the purpose
With these all the webs are swept out
Of the houses.
Easter is a glad holiday in the CathO-
lie capital The feelings Of the people
are in accord with the resurrection idea,
the triumph Of tue Christ over death.
The common salutatiOn is, Happy
Easter" and this salutation is offered
not alone to acquaintances. but to
strangers as well. The bells ring out
joyfully, and Rome becomes a great
musical instrument vibrating with
chimes. In other times the season was
marked by a perfect carnival of form,
a riot Of ceremony. In later days
something more Of democracy and
simplicity has been introduced, but

Some animal. I think it was a
sheep, crossed the path in a leap
ahead of me, and simultaneously 1 be-
came aware of another living thing
stealth.ly leaping through the trees.
Scarcely knowing why l did it,
came to a halt in the path, and in the
light Of the moon, just as the some
thing made a leap and landed direct
ly in front of me
THE movement was so quick and
unexpected that I hardly had time to
form an dea of what it was, and be-
neve he was quite as much surprised,
which he quickly changed into fero-
cious anger, EN- ting the most unex-
pressible, unearthly yells, screams and
growls IN a cont nuOus medley, that
/ believe a human being ever listened
to, and lived to relate it.
Il suppose 1 was too frightened 10
move, had / thought it worth while
Seeing me standing 50 st.ll he evident
ly felt somewhat uncertain how to pro-
ceed to settle matters with me, and
while he meditated be began pacing
back and forth tearing the soft sandy
earth with his paws in evidence Of
his anger, never forgetting his blood
curdliRg medley.
i noticed that he was getting closer
TO me, and to this day can see those
balls Of red fire that kept cleaning
on me.
