BRIDAL INGENUITY.

A bride of Pennsylvania has been
the object of much attention in the
press as well as in the neighborhood
where she was married because of
an ingenious method of raising mon
ey needed for housekeeping. She
and her intended were both rather
ampecunious and for that reason
postponed the wedding more than
once. Finally they decided to take
chances on gathering enough fur
nishings to get along. The cere-
mony had been performed, and some
of the guests approached to kiss the
bride. ''It costs a dollar to kiss the
BRIDE" she said sweetly. Sure
enough, it was dollar per. The

little space. The driveway is IA feet
in width and 16 feet high, which al
lows a load of hay to be driven
through the stable without inconven-
fence. Wagons and buggies are
housed at the right of the driveway
and over them is located the harness
and work room and a good sized
sleeping room.
The we'll is located near the north
end of driveway and when equipped
with pump will be be easily arranged
to deliver water to each stall and
both sides of COW manger. as well as
to furnish water for cleaning floors,
buggies, etc. The circular construc-
ton provides roOmy stalls, at the
same time converging feeding space
to the minimum.
In putting hay in the loft the load
is driven to the north end of the
driveway under the fork, from
whence the hay is raised and distrib-
uted by means of single pear
shaped track In the loft is another
place where circular construction
furnishes economy and great con-
venience. Notice that excepting the
hay drop in the center, feet, s in
ches in outside diameter, where hay
is thrown to feeding floor, the NOW
is one vast space unobstructed by
posts, >girts or braces to the peak of
the conical roof, which is n feet
from the ground. The hay drop,
located in the center of the NOW, is
one of Mr.. Swift's own ideas. and it
will be noted that, no matter what
the height of the hay in the NOV,
one can pitch it into this tube from
any side, where it falls to the feed
ing floor to be distributed through
the feeding chutes to the stock.
The construction of this barn is
patented by Horace Duncan Of Indi-
ana, and he guarantees it to be as
nearly cyclone proof as it is possible
to build wooden structure. 1t is
well known principle in physics
that matter in form of tube or cone
will sustain greater strain than if
formed into other shapes. Hence
comes the lack of heavy timbers,
girts and braces in the circular nov.
Mr.. Swift's barn measures 11S15
feet in circumference and incloses

their hearts and the dollars jingled

the bishop comes around to get the
wherewithal to pay of church debt

praising the bride.
But what of the groom? Shall
naught be said of his power OF en-
durance, his self-restraint amid most
trying circumstances, his patience
and long suffering? About the time
the 365th kiss, whole year of 'em,
had been accomplished he must have
felt like 80 cents, although he well
knew that it meant $365.-Tacoma

|2S42h square feet. This same wall
II placed In square would only In
close 22461a square feet, differ
ence of nearly 900 square feet in
favor Of the circle. A square which
will contain 2s42hs square feet must
be IS " feet on each side or a total
of 213A lineal feet OF wall, while
the circle encloses it in 1881 feet.
From these comparisons and by TAX
ing into consideration the elimina-
ton of heavy timbers in circular con.
struction 1t viii lbe seen that much
less material is needed in round
barn than in one which Is square or
oblong. The circular building also
does away with gable ends where a
considerable space is wasted and
there are no corners and no long
stretch of straight side wall to offer
resistance to the wind.
This is the first barn of this pat
tern evsr built in the Pacific North
west and its many points of excell
ence ought to appeal to every farm
er whose attention is called to it.
1t will contain $50 tons of loose hay
and Mr.. Swift considers that the
saving in hay wasted on his ranch
under the present methods of stack
ing will pay for the barn in three
years. But that is not all. Fine dry
hay which has not been wet since it
was cut will command better prices
and furnish more nutriment than
hay in the stack which has gone
through the fall rains and melting
SHOWS of winter. In this barn hay
can be loaded from the NOW in any
sort of weather and is ready for
market, clean, bright and sweet and
dry.

Hard Scrabble To one who is look
ing for developments, it is interest
ing. 1t is the sound and conserva-
tive judgment of a man who looks
into the future.
There are many people who live in
Wenatchee who have never been
about the country to see the re-
sources of the country in which they
are living.
Capital from Seattle and other
places is coming in to develop this
region in which we ourselves are liv-
ing.
Do we who are on the ground floor
realize what a few years will bring
forth?
The fact that 700 acres of tres s
are to be planted on Wheeler Hill
where there are now but SIS acres OF
bearing orchard is only one instance
of the work that is being done
about us.
Capital is becoming interested in
Central Washington tand the time
is not far distant when the results
will be nothing less than astounding.
Do you believe it?
