Practical Machine Shed for Farm

A good machine shed is one of the
money saving buildings of a we'll reg.
ulated farm. 1t should be so located
that the implements can be placed
therein with the least possible incon.
venience. II 1t is to shelter the i'm.
plements of every day use as wagons,
manure spreader, ETC., 1t should be as
near as possible to the place where
the unhitching is done, as man is
very apt to yield to the temptation of
leaving machine out of doors when
he must go far out of the way to put it
into shed. Another Inconvenience Is
to have 1t located on ground inclining

Boys of Northern Michigan Initiate
Eastern Bandits.

Marquette, Mich, April 12.-Follow-
Ing the repeated attempts which have
been made to wreck railroad trains
railroad detectives claim that boys in
Northern Michigan have become i'm
bued with train wrecking fever and
have been endeavoring to initiate the
bandits of the East.
Within the last two days two at
tempts are alleged to have been made
to wreck the Milwaukee road flyer at
Crystal Falls Both attempts were
made short distance beyond bridge
crossing Paint river. In the first at
tempt stout post, braced against a
tie, was imbedded in the roadbed and
SO elevated that it would, catch the
pilot of the engine. In the second in
stance a railroad frog was fastened TO
the track. A heavier engine had been
put on that day and the frog was torn
from its fastenings and thrown aside.
Detectives are working on the case
and claim to have a clue to the per.
petrators.

Oakland police station. When searched
he had 1851 on his person. He gave
his address as Los Angeles, Cal. Mr..

watch to be kept on every person to
guard against possible assassination
or injury to any Of the notable guests
who are participating in the founders
day exercises at the Carnegie insti-
tute. Uniformed policemen and detec-
tives by the score are lowering about

bility Of any unauthorized person
reaching them is very remote Mr.
Carnegie was not informed of the ar
rest Of the man and is unaware of the
unusual precaution to guard him
