 Governor Signs Bill.
 The governor today signed the bill to give two more judges of the city court of Birmingham, these to be elected by the legislature in joint session. A day will be set later in the week to hold the election.
 The governor has also signed the bill to pay the judges of the state for all courts where trials are held above the grade of police court and inferior tribun- als out of the treasury of the state. This will mean a saving to a county like Jeff ferson of many thousand dollars a year.
 Under the old law the judges of city courts were paid by the counties in which they served. The new law will transfer the burden to the state
 With the passage of the bills for Jeffer- son county the total saving on the judges will be s24.000 a year. Including the Bes- semer court there will be total salaries of s37.s00 per year. of which the state will pay S24.000 and the county Sl200O.
 After 1910 the judge of the Bessemer court will receive s4oOo instead of $500.

Three Floor Plans Of Round Barn.

between the circular and oblong forms
would amount to goodly sum.
The efficiency and economy of labor
in the circular barn is easily seen
Everything is under one roof, one
feed room serves for all, there is no
wading through drifts from barn to
barn in winter, and by use of feed
carriers and a wagon to gather
manure, labor and time are reduced
to a minimum.
The cut is reproduced from de-
sign by the author and requires little
explanation. The first floor is the
basement floor, and contains stanch-
ions for 80 cows, pens for sheep and
swine, four calving pens, milk room
provided with separator. testing ap-
pliance, churn, etc, feed room, root
bin and an 1S-foot silo. There is a
driveway behind each row of stalls
to allow of cart being driven in to
remove manure, and the feed is
handled in a hand cart. similar to
those used by all up-to-date dairymen.
The second floor is reached by two
slightly elevated driveways. It con-
tains stall room for Is horses. the
main granary, carriage and machinery
rooms The floor under the horses
is rendered water tight by two layers
of matched flooring sealed and coat
ed with a tar compound. The liquid
manure from both floors is conveyed
by drains to a cement cistern.
The third floor is reached by a short
viaduct, and here the silo is filled and
all thrashing done. Hay and bundles
are unloaded by means of two circular
hay carriers. Water from the well is
pumped by a windmill into a storage
tank just above the silo on the third
floor, thence being piped all through
the barn and house.
The floor of the second story is
supported by the partition studs OF
the first floor, while the third floor
and roof are upheld by the silo and
four-inch posts. Six ventilating shafts
run from the first floor up the side
walls to the apex of the roof.
While the round barn may have it's
faults, in the opinion of Prairie Farm
err, it is becoming to be considered
much superior to other forms in many
ways, and its adherents are increasing
rapidly, especially in the dairy sec

There is no question that the
quantity Of sleep required steadily dim
inishes from infancy to old age. This
is a rather interesting exception to
the general rule that. as in so many
matters. old age returns to the needs
of infancy. AS regards sleep, says
London Pail Mall Gazette, old age is
more remote in its needs from infancy
than is any other period of life. II
elderly people obtain good sleep dur
ing the first few hours. and II they
have not lost that delight in reading
which we all had In youth, but which
so many OF us curIously lose, their
case is not to be grieved over. The
special value of the earliest hours OF

IN THOSE DAYS AROSE KINGS.


Imagine yourself back two years
and a half before Wild Week, back
at the time when the kings of finance
had just completed their apparently
final conquest of the industries of the
country, when they were seating
themselves upon thrones encircled by
vast armies of capital and brains,
when all the governments of the ma
International state and city-were
PROSTATE under their iron heels.
You may remember that was a not
lnconspicuous figure then. OF all
their financial agents, was the best
known, the most trusted by them, the
most believed in by the people. l
had magnificent suite of offices in
the building that dominates Wall and
Broad streets. Boston claimed me
also, and Chicago; and in Philadel-
phia. New Orleans, st. Louis, San
Francisco, in the towns and rural dis
tricts tributary to the cities, thou
sands spoke of Blackjack as their
trusted adviser in matters of finance.
My enemies-and | had them, numer-
Gus and venomous enough to prove
me a man worth while-my enemies
spoke of me as the biggest bucket
shop gambler in the world"
Gambler l was-like all the other
manipulators of the markets. But
"bucket-shop" l never kept. AS the
kings of finance were the representa-
tives of the great merchants, manu-
facturers and investors, so was / the
representative OF the masses, OF those
who wished their small savings prop
erly invested. The power of the big
fellows was founded upon wealth and
the brains wealth buys OF DULLES or
seduces into its service; my power
was founded upon the hearts and
homes of the people, upon faith in my
frank honesty.
How had l built up my power? BY
recognizing the possibilities of pub
licity, the chance which the broad
cast sowing of newspapers and maya
zines put within the reach of the in
dlvidual man to Impress himself upon
the whole country, upon the whole
civilized world. The kings of finance
relied upon the asslduity and dexter
lily of sundry paid agents. operating
through the stealthy, clumsy, old
fashioned channels for the exercise Of
power. relied only upon myself;
had to trust to no fallible, perhaps
traitorous, understrappers; through
the megaphone of the press l spoke
directly to the people.
My enemies charge that l always
have been INSCRIPTIONS and dishon,
est. So? Then how have lived and
thrived all these years in the glare
and blare of publicity?
