that tho man who killed the l5-year-old

sight OF II houses, last Wednesday, had
been apprehended.
A charge OF homicide will be made
against Henry Becker. the suspect In the
case. when he comes up for examination
Wednesday in the Flushing police court.
II is not believed. however. that he will
ever be brought TO trial. as he is regarded

insane frenzy due TO his condition.
Becker made a confession which fts In
with all the detectives have found out
about Becker's movements on the day OF

confidence in Beckers confession, but
enough evidence has been found independ-

FUGITIVE PASTOR

Worcester, Mass, May T.-Rev. Charles
III. Dalrymple, pastor of the Millbury
Unitarian church, who mysteriously fed
to the west on the night of May 15 leav-
ing his pastorate wife and children with
out a word, has been located by Thomas
A. Winter. treasurer Of the church. at
2s4 East Sixtieth street, Chicago and TO
that address Winter will send the back

soon after the clergyman's fight. when
he admitted that for reasons which he
would not make public he had seen TO 1t
that the preacher fed from the East for
good, never to communicate again with
his family. Before Dalrymple left Mrs.
Dalrymples brother had purchased all the
effects OF his library and rights in his
Millbury real estate and forced him to
write out and sign his resignation.
The clergymans flight created a sensa-
tion, for he had been held In the highest
esteem in Millbury. His wife, III in Wor-
cester for 10 weeks prior TO his disap-
pearance, expressed no astonishment at
his disappearance. She enjoys a handsome
income from a large estate, while her
husband had no money OF his own out

Rev. Mr.. Dalrymple had once before
been forced to resign from a pastorate In
Oakham because he attempted 10 install
billiard and pool tables to attract young
people TO the church.

Mr.. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining TO tho
subject of building for the readers of this
paper. On account of his wide expe-
rience as Editor, Author and Manufac-
turer. he is. without doubt, the highest
all inquiries to William A Radford, No.
1874 Fifth Ave, Chicago, ILL.,, and only
enclose two-cent stamp for reply.
A seven room cott&e house that
may be built for about $4,000 under
favorable circumstances is here given.
Down stairs there is a parlor, dining
room and kitchen with one bedroom
and a bath room with an entrance
from the bedroom and another en-
trance from the kitchen, which facili-
tates warming the bath room from
the kitchen when there is no fire in
the furnace. There is a convenient
grade entrance to the cellar which
may be reached by four steps down
from the kitchen. This arrangement
leaves room in the corner of the en-
trance for a good sized refrigerator,
provision that is valuable in any
house and one that is appreciated
by every house-keeper.
The size of this little cottage is
twenty-eight feet wide by thirty-eight
feet long, exclusive of the porch,
which is not very large on the ground
and not very high; but there is
room for four rooms down stairs and
three rooms up stairs with good I'M
finished attic for storage, and there
is plenty of closet room. A woman
never gets too many closets. Archi-
tects are often worried because of
the demand for more closets than
they can find room for. One advant-
age of arranging bedrooms in the
roof like this is that the low portions
of the roof may be used to advant-
age for this purpose. Some women
prefer an attic over the bedrooms, but
many would rather have a store room
of this kind because it saves climbing
two pairs of stairs. 1t is impossible
to have every good thing included in
one plan. Cottage houses may be
lighter in construction than two story
houses and they are more economical
where the roof space is utilized as it
is in this house. The three bedrooms
on the second floor represent just that

Vegetable Endowed With Brains.

Brain of plant life are the tendrils.
Sensitive plants retract their leaflets
when people approach as II they re-
sented further intimacy. All vines
which develop climbing organs called
tendrils will reach out toward us If
we place our hands in contact with
them, and will even use a finger as a
support to climb on. These tendrils
will wind just as readily around a
twig or grass stem. Tendrils are cap
able of exhibiting faculties and going
through evolutions more wonderful
than perhaps is realized. With their
sensitive tips they test the objects
they come in contact with, apparently
considering their suitability as sup
port, and then accepting or rejecting
them. as the case may be. The thor
oughness with which these tips do
their work is illustrated by an in
stance with a grape vine. A cherry
branch whose leaves had been various
ly punctured and scalloped by insects
hung near the tendril and a particular
leaf his just one small hole in it's
blade, not over three-sixteenths of an
inch in diameter. So careful had been
the exploration of the leafs surface
that this one small hole had been dis
covered by the tendril. which had
thrust itself nearly three inches
through the opening.

Five Of the leading professors, all

be superseded by another one, who
will lecture on a different field of
work. This will continue until the

INSTITUTES TO BE CONDUCTED
IN MISSOURI TOWNS.
Will Be Held in Connection with State
Normals-Two Weeks to Be De-
voted to Discussions with State
Aiding to Fullest Extent.

Columbia, Mo.-Missouri university
is trying to bring instruction in agri-
culture direct to the farmers of the
state. With this end in view, the agri
cultural college has sent it's profes-
sors on lecture tours over the state,
visiting the various organizations of
farmers and delivering lectures. The
college this year is working in con-
junction with the state board of
agricultural, the Offices of which are
in the agricultural guiding on the
campus here. With this end in view,
that of greater benefits to the present
farmers, S. M. Jordan, of Stanberry,
has been selected and made the di-
rector of farmers Institutes.
The plan heretofore has been to
hold days or two days session in
some town or schoolhouse, and then
do nothing to follow up after the peo-
pie became well aroused and en-
thusiastic.
This year arrangements will be
made to hold a two weeks institute
in conjunction with the various state
normals. The arrangements have not
been definitely concluded at all, but
at the new normal at Maryville the
plans are practically perfected.
The normal towns were selected in
order to insure an audience even If
the farmers fail to show the interest
expected. The students preparing in
the various normals to teach will be
called upon to give instruction in
scientific agriculture more and more
as the study of it spreads through the
public schools of the state. The lee
ture will be given in the courthouse

DOG eNAws DOWN sAPLINe.

Marquette, Mich.-Caught by the
leg in "a trap set for wolves, a valu-
able bird dog belonging to Deputy
Sheriff Richard Harcourt of Seney,
east of Marquette, effected its release
through a rare display of canine intel
ligence. The trap was fastened by a
chain to a sapling. To gnaw this
down was the CANNES only salvation,
and presumably after mature contem-
plation of its dangerous situation the
dog undertook the task.

It must have been suffering, the dog
made its weary way home, dragging

the dog had secured its freedom was
plainly apparent from the evidence
visible at the spot where the trap had
been set.

to be ashamed Of. A house of this
size gives opportunity to have a bed
room down stairs, convenience that
every house does not possess. There
are generally in most families at
least one old person who objects to
climbing stairs. 1t would be difficult
to arrange a more comfortable bed
room than this one, in fact few large
houses have a room of this kind. AS
a usual thing when building too little
attention is paid to the comfort of the
old people. They have spent their
lives in the interests of the family
and II is only right that they should
be remembered in their old age. We
frequently see aged people who are
compelled TO stay upstairs day after
day because they dread the trip up
and down.
The appearance of this house de-
ponds a good deal on the colors and
stains used for outside decoration. On
general principles 1t is a good plan
to avoid all shades of green. Green
paint Is almost certain to fade and
during the process IL is likely to take
on some very sickly shades of color
that are extremely disappointing.
Nothing looks better than a light
shade of green when II is first put
on, but nothing looks worse after 1t
has been exposed to the sun and
storms for five or six months. II a
man ever wants to kick himself for
doing something absurd in the decor
alton line 1t is for painting a house
green. Drabs and browns are always
agreeable and generally such paints
are lasting, but colors depend so
much on the quality of the materials
used that great care is necessary in
making the purchase, IL you buy the
paint yourself. or in making con-
