CLOUD PIERCING BUILDINGS
Architects Prediction Of SISyserapers
One Thousand Feet High.

Architects Prediction Of SlSyscraperu
One Thousand Feet High.
'"rhe time OF the thousand foot tan
skyscraper in this country is so near
that it is no joke" declared Architect
Henry Hornbostel, who has planned
the forty story tower addition to the
Allegheny county Pa.) courthouse,
which is to be 700 feet high, the
other night in an address before the
Pittsburg board Of trade, says the
Pittsburg Dispatch. 81 believe that the
time will come within the next twenty
years when we will see buildings at
least a thousand feet high In this coun-
try. They viii be located in our larger
cities, of course, for there the neces-
sity of concentration in business is
most pronounced
Mr.. Hornbostel, explaining his forty
story tower plan, said that the Office
building was distinctively an Ameri-
can idea, which grew from the neces-
sity of concentration Of business and
the increasing realty values.
Mr. Hornbostel spoke of the econom-
ical feature of the tower as an induce.
ment. The tower would cost, he said
from 100000 to 81, 100000, while the
cost of another building across Dia
mond street from the present court
, house, including the cost Of the site
would be at least 100000 and posi-
bly, more.
The tower would be 20 by 20 feet a
the base. Above the roof of the presen
building the size of the tower woul'
increase to so by 80 feet for severa
stories. In this increased space ten o
twelve courtrooms are planned. Abov
the courtrooms to the clock near tn
top of the tower are to be offices, wit
the top of the tower ornamental.
Mr.. Hornbostel said the tower wouI
not be affected even by a bolt c
lightning, as the electricity would b
consumed by the steel structure, an
that the building would stand treme1
dous wind pressure, estimating that
would take 200 miles Of wind a minut
to dangerously affect 1t.

HARVARD HOUSE RESTORATION
How Home Of Neither 81 Ansrioan
slnivsrsity,s Founder Was SAVED.

Hcw Home Of Neither Of AnsFiGan
uniVsrsitys Founder Was Saved.
The restoration has recently been
completed Of tie John Harvard house
IN Stratford- England. This
house Is one Of the most interesting Of
all the relics Of Shakespeare's time.
1t stands in High street opposite the
corn exchange 1t was built In 1893
and was the home Of the mother Of
John Harvard, the founder Of .rd |
university, Cambridge, Mass.
The house win now be preserved a.
a public Institution, but it had q very
narrow escape from destruction az the
hands Of the vandals, says the London
Chronicle 1t is really surprising that
1t has escaped for more than 800 years.
Until recently ii was used as an auc-
tioneer's office and adapted for busi-
ness purposes. Some former occupant
had plastered over all the fine wood
carving of the interior, and the front
In the ground floor was partly brtcked
up and a modern door made In the
center. The building was fast falling
into state Of dilapidation through
neglected drainage and other causes.
In few years time 1t would have col
lapsed. 1t was bought by Nelson Nor
ris of Chicago, who commissioned Miss
CoreilI to secure 1t and to have 1t re-
stored. The work OF restoration has
now been completed.
The utmost care has been taken to
preserve all the old fittings, the oak
| woodwork, the carvings which were
covered up with plaster or painted
and the public can now form an opin.
ion Of what the house was like when II
was built. A new door had to be made
one which harmonizes with the style
Of the house and looks quite Eliza
bethan- There are two rooms on eacl
floor. Nothing has been added to thu
old woodwork except when 1t was alb
Solutely necessary for safety and II
providing missing articles. The wood
work has not been painted, but onl.
carefully cleaned. The fittings for gas
lights IN the house are iron work sucl
as might have been used for lantern
in the days of Shakespeare, and tn
furniture and fittings of the rooms wi
! be appropriate.
t John Harvard's house must hav
] been a familiar object in Stratford
! ! Shakespeare, and its preservation wi
r be greatly appreciated by all lovers {
E the poet. 1t is probable that the nous
e may be used as an American club.
b any case, it has taken its place as on
of the public sights of Stratford-

MATRIMONIAL AID CLUB.
Unique Plan of Tulsa q. IT, spinstsr
to Encourage Marriage.

Unique Plan of Tulsa q. IL Spinsters
to Encourage Marriage.
Deeming n legislative tax or munich
pal mandate against nonmatrimonial-
ly inclined men as impracticable, Tul-
Ea's unmarried women have hit upon
scheme for bringing the men to their
knees in suppliance for their hearts and
hands tnat bids fair To be a great sue
eess, says a Tulsa Il. To special dis
patch to the Cincinnati Commercial
Tribune.
These young women have organized
a society known as the Tulsa Bachelor
Girls Cupid club, and membership is
limited to unmarried women over eight
cen and under forty, with widows
barred.
The r-have-been-married" claim
they cannot successfully cope with
widows in the game for husbands with
their superior knowledge and expert
ence.
The club prescribes a membership fee
of $40, with monthly dues Of 81 per
member. This money goes into q com
mon fund and is apportioned pro rata
among the members as rapidly as they
marry, with the understanding ii be
applied to the furnishing of the home
The prospect of assistance In this man
ner In "going to housekeeping" 1t is
believed, will nerve the men to speak
the word they have long had at the tip
of the tongue, but which they have re-
Trained from uttering for fear they
could not make good financially.
The club lately numbered forty mem
bers, and additions are being made
every week.

Mrs L. S. Hamilton, mother Of Isaac

Lady Bountiful In unique twenti-

innovation attracted attention in the
State street shipping district when
Mrs. Hamilton's large touring car

was filed with a bevy Of bareheaded
laughing clerks For an hour the big
machine ran through the south side

AFTER A MILE OF CENTS.
Kansas Methodists Will Raise a Mort
gage In That Way.

gage In That Way.
The Ladies' Aid society Of the Metho-
dist church at Lakin, Kan, have COM
pleted a novel plan of raising money
with which to liquidate a mortgage,
says a Topeka (Kan.) special dispatch
to the New York Times. The object
is to gather a mile Of cents, and to do
this there was given to each member
narrow strip of paper a foot in length
Each foot will hold just 16 cents.
1t is calculated that when the mile
of cents is received the sum of 1914. 4S
will have been raised, the exact amount
of the interest and principal OF the
mortgage at this time.
The Lakin women have figured out
that it takes just s4,44S cents to make
a mile if they are laid in row.

Antiquity Of Slavery.

Slavery is pretty nearly as old as the
race. 1t began so far back that the
memory Of man, assisted by the still
greater memory of history, can recall
no time when 1t did not exist. It would
be difficult to say who were the first
slaves. In all the nations around the
Mediterranean, where civilization Is
supposed to have started, the institu-
ton began early to flourish and held
on right down through feudalism to
modern times.

PEMBINA
Building and Loan Association,

Loans money on good Pembina County
real estate. Every borrower is a share
holder and participate in the profits the
same as the investor. Every dollar paid
in pays part of the debt and also placed
at interest for the benefit of the share
holders. From experience it is found that
from 106 to LIS monthly payments pays the
principal and interest on any sum borrow
ed. Monthly payments are SO cents per
share and 81 per hundred of sum borrowed.
No bonus. This form of borrowing money
is especially convenient and profitable to
wage earners and salaried men who want
to own their own homes. The monthly
payments are less than rent, and this
form of rent" buys the home.
