STAVE MOLD FOR CEMENT TROUGH
AND THE TROUGH COMPLETED.

round tank, lately made by Mr.. F. M.
Goodwin, Delaware county, Ohio, says
the Ohio Farmer After excavating,
the foundation was built to about the
level of the ground. The slaves were
then put IN place and filling with con-
crete was continued to the top. In
order to strengthen the tank, several
vertical iron bars were imbedded in
the concrete during construction;
while around the circumference a num-
Der of wire hoops were likewise i'm
0edded. The material was mixed as
follows: Crushed stone, eight parts
sand, three parts; cement, one part.

ROAD TARRING.
1t is Carried en- on a Large Scale in
France.

Road-tarring on d large scale has
been seen in France during the prep
aration for the Grand PriX race. The
tarrin8 is carried out on the Lassail-
~ system by the use Of the most i'm
proved apparatus for heating the tar
and applying it to the surface Of the
road. Commenced on the 25th of May,
the operation lasted scarcely ten days
for the 100000 square yards which
were covered, employing two gangs,
each made up of six drivers and eight
horses, together with eight men for
spreading the tar, counting the men
needed for sanding the road after the
tarring. A fine road is the result of
this operation, says the Scientific
American and it shows that by the
use q the proper apparatus a large
extent of road can be treated within
a short time and with a small amount
Of labor. At the last moment the ex-
cess OF sand which covers the layer Of
tar vii be swept off by the four
sweeper wagons employed by M. Las
sally, hen the cars will be able to
run un 5er ideal conditions. Such a
process far from being an extra ex-
pense. is now recognized as an actual
econoney, seeing that the cost of keep
ing ur the road becomes much less,
and It's pays for the tarring ex-
penseg. and may even exceed the lat
ter. as has been found during a long
series of observations made in France.

HANDY SLIDING BARN GATE.
Should Be in Use to Restrain the Cat

Where cattle are stabbed for the
convenience of milking and feeding
it is useful in hauling to have small
gates hung in alley ways to prevent
the stock from becoming unruly Not
infrequently considerable disturbance
is brought about in handling a dairy
herd while stabling, simply on account
of lack of doors across exposed pas
sageways In our barn we have small
gates located wherever it is necessary

of eating too many chestnuts. His
physician warned him that chestnuts
were dangerous because of recent at

L am going to eat those chestnuts if

hours after eating the last pint. Park

pastor, Father Michael Flavin, was on

perintendent, and C. w. Johnson,
storekeeper OF the Enterprise mines,
were shot and possibly fatally
wounded on the 10th by ]. c. Cain, an
alleged bootlegger, whose arrest. they
caused few days ago.
The two men had gone to the home
upon his invitation of Cain to buy
him out, according to proposition
he had made to sell.
Without warning he drew a re-
volver and fired. Morris fell with a
bullet in his side. Johnson turned
to go and was shot in the back.
Morris will recover if no complica-
tons set in. Johnson is unconscious
and will probably die.
Cain Immediately fled, starting to-
ward Des Moines. The police were
notified and the sheriff's office was
in turn appealed to for assistance.
Three deputy sheriffs, Wesley Ash,
George Curren and Charles Johnson,
were all we'll armed.
Cain was recently arrested on IN
formation filed by Morris and John
son in the court of Justice Fred Cope
in this city. He was charged with
bootlegging and the mine operators
maintained that he was a disturbing
element in the community. They
wished to prevent the miners from
buying liquor. Cain went to the
county Jail and after his release re-
turned to Enterprise, evidently deter
mined to get even. He then deliber-
ately set the trap by which he hoped

/ am a stranger to you and your

if can do anything for you, you have
only to ask
only be friend to her if you can,"
whispered the dying man, with pain,
full effort, increased by the emotion
stirred within him. and with one more
glance of utterable love upon her he
was leaving, his eyes closed, and the
stiffness of death fell softly upon the
sick room.
Through all the autumn and winter
months that followed, faithfully he
discharged the trust so generously
undertaken, proving himself the SAT,
est of friends and counsellors. In the
spring suddenly Leonard awoke to find
himself prisoner fast caught in the
net which Love had woven of threads
spun by chance. He had promised to
comfort the desolate girl but now in
the face of coming desolation, it
seemed that he was the one who
needed cheer and comfort With
what should he fill his empty, aimless
life again when she who had late lent
it shape and purpose should be lost
to him. The world grew strangely
lonesome and desolate as he pictured
it. 1t must not be. The doors of his
great warm heart had opened wide.
and like a homeless bird, Dorothea
had been driven within by the merest
Chance" but now nestles there for

(COpJi1gnt, by Joseph b. BOWleS.)
Leonard Bromfield was one of
those children of fortune, who for the
greater part of the year had nothing
to do. Leonard was by no means a
lover of solitude, in general, yet pos,
sessing every access to the pleasures
of society and companionship, he
was suddenly seized, one gay and
charming summer, with the desire for
solitary rambling apart from the noisy
world, so he babe farewell to the
haunts of city and fashion, and buried
himself in the peaceful shelter of a
rural hamlet.
1t was on certain day when, hav-
ing sought refuge from an ardent
August sun, Leonard stood in the
Brushville store, idly awaiting the
mail. 1t was on the glass showcase
that his eye was resting, and upon a
certain white envelope, which he was
morally sure had presented itself to
his vision innumerable times before;
yet for the first time it seemed actual
ly demanding his attention. A rather
soiled and crumpled missive, but in.
scribed distinctly with the address:
Miss Dorothea Winthrop,
N-ville, Va.
Half unconsciously he had read
these same words repeatedly, but un-
observed hitherto, few less legible
pen-strokes on the corner of the en-
velope now attracted his glance. In
