DRUMMER HAD INGENIOUS IDEA.
How the Agent for an Engine Worked
Up a Big Business.

His name is Barnes. Until recently
he was a mechanic. Now he is a trav-
cling salesman of distinctly novel va
riety.
He lives in the prairie section of
the middle west and when gasoline
engines began to approach their pres
eEt practicability decided that they
were bound to replace wind mills for
farm purposes. In this belief he Sc
cured an agency for the one he con-
sidered best, procured a sample and
set it up on an ordinary farm wagon,
from which he removed the pole.
By a few simple connections he ar
ranged in his wagon with steer
ing gear, according to Spare Mo-
ments, One shaft with some sprocket
wheels and chain made all the mech.
anism necessary in order for the en-
CINE to drive his combination at the
rate of six miles an hour.
He carried a pump jack and a
small assortment of small pulleys, so
arranged as to be capable of attach
ment to churns, washing machines
and the like. His outfit attracts at
tention and makes talk, all of which
has advertising value; while when he
pulls into a farmers yard he can
show his prospective customer just
what the machine will do.
AS a result he sells. more engines
than all other agencies in his terri
tory; and as he carries his Office In
his pocket, his territory is limited only
by his speed.

edged with Valenciennes, and not only
does it finish off sleeves, but also the
edge of bolero coats. The skirts
which accompany the check velvet
blouse or bodice are usually made to
match n of the colors in the blouse.
Fine embroideries are introduced on
the collar and cuffs. A pretty after
moo gown shows a skirt and bodice
made of blue and white velvet, with
trimmings of dark blue silk, richly
embroidered with white silk.
The figure on the left of our large
picture shows the design for a girls
Liberty satin. The full folds are, you
will see, so arranged as to give the
fashionable Empire effect at the back,
while a softness of lace is held in on
the corsage by bands of satin, fasten-
ing on either side in flower like ros-
cites. The sleeves are entirely formed
of the lace, and of course a touch of
color can always be supplied by a
couple of long-stalked pink roses, in
which case it would be pretty to have
a soft satin ribbon in the rose shade
threaded in and cut of the lace and
tied at II side in a big bow.
Lace continues to be the fabric most
in demand for smart blouses, and 1t is
frequently relieved by touch Of col
ored embroidery, applications of Chi
nese needlework being particularly eff

suddenly decided to stop all further
operations and begin anew with Pom
peii. Poor Weber was nearly heart
broken, well knowing he was on the
very eve of discoveries that would
startle the world.
But there was nothing for II but to
uncover the last section of the beauti-
full theater, prop up the foundations
Of the houses of modern Resina. and
block up all existing tunnels, for fear
Of robbers, such as loot the tombs in
the Libyan deserts for the benefit of
tourists.
In the eighteenth century, too great
quantities Of precious papyri were
found; and broken statues. bronzes,
m~osaics, fountains and other objects
of art were pieced together with in
finite care and deposited mainly in the
Naples museum. The authorities
were most jealous lest any consider
able work of art should go out of the
country.
1t was not until about 1880 that
work was again begun ~half-heartedly

years later a big purchase of land was
made and a force of men started to
work underground by Fiorelll, whose
name will always be associated with
the City of Mystery" King Victor
Emmanuel II. deserves great credit
for inaugurating still further work.
He contributed something like 50,-
000f. to the funds, and began new ex.
cavations with a state and pomp that
gave new impetus to the excavations.
More than this, the digging was now
conducted in scientific lines. Unfor-
tunately, on Nov. 16, 1885, everything
stopped peremptorily. The limits of
the purchased land were reached
proyohingly enough, just as a superb
Roman public bath was coming into
view before the %entranced scientists.
Had the work gone further, however,
undoubtedly the streets Of modern
Resina above would have fallen in,
very much as is the case today in
Northwich, in Cheshire, England,
which lies over vast salt mines.
In 1884 feeble attempts were made
to repair the su~bterranean theater,
and a few Insignificant fragments
were picked up. That was the last
attempt, and from that time to this
day He%rculaneum has remained as it
was in the awful moment when utter
destruction came upon it and it was
buried with its fair sisters, Pompeii
and Stabiae.
