ON A HUNTING Trip.
Sunday In Camp.

The GAVIN COLlto. All asleep.
Soon the slim one aWakens and
Immediately calls the other two.
Then ensues an argument as to
who shall light the fire. After a
few minutes discussion upon whose
turn it is, we decide that the fair
haired boy with the angelic face
has to do it.. He starts in. No
pith, no dry wood, can find no pa
per, and after wasting about half a
box of matches finally starts a
small blaze. The stove smokes,
which causes a flow of language
from the other two that would not
grace a drawing room. The tent
gets full Of smoke. We have to get
outside. During the night three
inches of snow has fallen and the
thermometer is 10 above. We make
the angelic one wish that he had
never been born. At last every
thing is all right, and we discuss
what we shall have for breakfast.
Finally we decide to have corn
meal mush. l say the way to cook
it is to put it in a kettle with cold
water and boil it. We do so, but
forget the salt. At last it boils.
Some gets cooked and finally we
wind up by eating cold beans left
from the night before. I say to
the slim one: els this frozen bean
salad or Harricot Glace la Del
monico?" And for my smartness
Mr.. Slim tells me politely to cross
the river Styx.
After this princely repast it falls
to the lot OF the slim one to cut
some wood (Mr. Slim, by the way,
works in a real estate office). After
working for some five minutes he
manages to cut about three sticks
of wood that will 60 in the stove.
The fourth one flies up and hits
him in the eye. Poor boy. We
have no beefsteak to put on his
battered face. The reason is we are
such great hunters. No one can
tell us anything about the habits
of wild animals. as we have lived
in the woods all our lives, and
b. ought nothing with us but bacon,
on which we are still living, and
when we go back will not be able
to look Armour in the face.
About II a. m. I suggested it
would be good plan to get some
dinner. The other two agreed with
me. q would give dollar to get
to free lunch counter.) The an.
gelic one was selected to peel some
spuds. Well, he did so. After he
had themipeeled told him to wash
the dirt off them. Well, he went
to the water pail and there was
quite a coating OF ice on top Of the
water. He proceeded to break the
ice. / guess he did, from what he
said. 1t is a good thing his best
girl was not there at the time. He
would have been all in so far as she
was concerned. Somehow or other
the ice went in and the water up
his sleeve. He said it was as cold
as a certain place, but from rec
objections of my early teachings
that place is anything but cold.
He then proceeded to pour water
on the spuds, and by some freak of
nature they all got coating OF ice
around and would not wash worth
cent Would some kind individ-
nal kindly tell me what was the
matter with them. We put them
on to boil, dirt and all. After q
while the ice melted and the water
began to boil. The longer it boiled
the blacker and tougher the spuds
became. We decided after boiling
them two hours we would eat them
anyway. We did so, and you can.

opening of the Spokane Indian
reservation, and from which it
seems it is the present intention of
the government to embody practic--
ally all of that part of the reserva-

that If any part Of the allotted por-

Good Measure Was Dangerous.

A well-to-do elderly gentleman liv-
ing in one of the suburbs Of Philadel-
phia is known in the neighborohOd us
something of miser and has made
himself extremely unpopular with To-
cal tradesmen by always pleading for
good measure" and his slowness in
settling his bills. Quite recently he
was feeling i'll and consulted a physi-
clan. who wrote him a prescription,
which he took to n drug store near
his home to have filled. "Be sure and
let me have good measure, won't you,
Mr.. Blanz?" said he, with his custom
airy smirk, and broad smile came

method of construction which would
be able to resist the heaviest storm
sweeping over Manhattan Island. The
pressure is 80 pounds to the square
foot, or total of 12S,00O foot tons.
The total weight of the tower alone is
about $4,000 tons. The method adopt
ed is the tower or bridge style of
building in the steel skeleton, with
transverse braces from the bottom to
the topmost story.
The ordinary transverse bracing
could not be used on account of the
windows SO the method was adopted
of building four corner towers, each
~ feet square, in the four corners of
the building, while the elevator shaft
serves as fifth tower. This leaves
a space SO feet wide between the cor
ner towers, which are treated as bay
and filed in with glass. The
columns are anchored to the caissons
in the foundation of the building.
If this building is a financial sue
cess 1t is certain that others as high,
and even higher, will be built in spite
Of the danger to the occupants of such
an artificial mountain in case of fire,
and the danger to neighboring lower
structures in case one of these "sky
Diercers" should collapse, and several
other difficulties which suggest them
selves.

Roller skates Are ola.

It Is generally believed that roller
skates are recent invention. They

many attempts were made TO Ignore
King Frost and skate on boards.
The first attempt Of this kind was by
Joseph MertIn, native of Huy, Bel
GUM. He went TO England with the
Spanish ambassador In 1760. He was
maker of musical instruments aud
had, among other novelties, a pair OF
skates that ran on wheels. A story is
told Of Mertln, that at one time he put
on these skates, took n violin and at
tended a masquerade. The skates,
which were not made to turn and had
no coutrlyances by which they could
be stopped. got contrary during the
evening and run him through mirror
costing 500. In addition to smashing
the mirror, his violin. a valuable one,
was splIntered and Mertin himself was
badly wounded and bruised.
In 1919 roller skates were brought to
the attention OF the public through the
patent office. This was the time when
NJ. Pettibled patented skate, fitted
with thin copper wheels, which, how
ever. perslsteutly refused TO turn cor
ners. From here II went through va
rlous improvements and notifications

The towering office buildings of our

We're predicted for the tall buildings
In Chicago and New York which stood
ten, sixteen or even twenty stories
above the sidewalks, with a height of
