a cloud in his sky but the most beau

AN EXAMPLE
TO JUDGE BY
Story of How Lady Won Piano and
Bought Metronome by Mail
Order.

A local occurrence by which there
months ago in which the small APP
probation on the part of the resident
is well brought out.
1t happened that a music house
guessing contest The instrument
went into home where there had
been no piano and no one played. It
was thought we'll to have the daugh-
tions so that the music might make
the home brighter. One of the first
things that the teacher requested for
the pupil was Metronome, with
which to keep accurate time and
thereby make the music more per-
feet from the start.
OF course trip was made to the
music house where the piano was
won as prize. The proprietor ex-
planned that the cost of the article
would be 1925. 1t seems that the mail
order catalogue had been searched
for this particular instrument with the
result that the price was named at
$500 The winner of the piaNo de
cided not to buy the metronome from
the concern that had made her a
present of $500 piano, but sent to
the mail order house.
1t must be conceded that the ex-
press was 25 cents in which case the
resident saved 10 cents and was V ry
disloyal to the Keokuk merchant.

the lodge, which With thousand dol.
lar policy costs only about ave cents
day, a small amount comparatively
when family might be left destitute
without
1T is mean thing for a man to go
up to heaven and his family to the
poor house because he left no life
insurance or means of support for his
family or those dependent on him.
While on earth it is in ones power to
provide for the future of those de-
pendent on him.
The lecturer gave several illustra
tive stories of excuses given by many
for not taking out life insurance.
In Lyons, little town in this state,
just twenty-six years ago the Modern
Woodmen of America lodge was start
ed. In 1890 there were $4,000 mem
! bers and al the present day there are
over 1,242,000 members with an in
crease of 5000 to $4,000 per month.
The death rate is but and fraction
out of each one thousand per year and
the cost of life insurance in the Wood
man but six dollars per year for each
81 900.
| Instances of the cruelties of King
John of England in the 18th century
were cited and the Magma Charta
which finally caused the overthrow OF
his power were spoken on at length by
Mr.. Townsend. A number of comic
coon stories were recited and we'll re-
I ceived.

EXPOSITION TO
BE BEAUTIFUL
Charles Dana Gibson Pays the Alaska
Youkon Exposition a High
Tribute.

SEATTLE, Dec. lit will un,
questionably be the most beautiful
exposition ever held in the world and
the remarkable progress you have
made so far ahead of the opening date
amazes me-" said Charles Dana Glib
son, the creator of the Gibson Girl, !"
after a trip over the grounds where
the west is building the Alaska-Youk
on-Pacific Exposition which will be
held in Seattle from June to October
16, 1909.
Mr.. Gibson stood at the head of the
Cascade Court, the central decorative
feature of the grounds. Straight in
front of him but so miles away Mount
Rainier, the highest mountain peak in
the United States reared its head I'M
til its snow covered crest was lost in
the white feecy clouds that lowered
around it, To his left the Cascades
made a rugged outline against the sky
and TO his right the Olympics rose TO
majestic height from the shores OF
the Pacific Ocean. Away off to the
northwest the Selkirks carried sea
of snow-capped peaks to the distant
horizon. In the immediate foreground

c. A. Wright caught bad dog in
his chicken coop this morning at an
early hour and transformed the bad
dog into good dog, by means of an
axe which he welded upon the dogs
head.
The dog was caught red handed in

The animal is a small yellow dog

the body lie in the yard until some
of the neghbors had seen it in order
to identify the remains and try and
find out whose dog it was.
A Bloody Record.
The dog had bloody record for
killing chickens.
On Tuesday night it killed eighteen
chickens belonging to Mrs. Donahue,
leaving only two live ones in her flock
Chickens belonging to Jacob Seth
err, j. N. Jones and others in the
neighborhood had also been killed.
Yesterday morning at 4 o'clock Mr..
Wright heard racket in his yard and
found one chicken dead. He saw the
dog at that time but did not get near
enough to kill it.
This morning he was more success
full, for he caught the dog in the chick
en- coop and killed it with blow on
the head from an axe. Two chick
ems had already been killed and prob
ably the whole flock would have been
killed had not he caught the dog.
The dog had burrowed into the
chicken house, into one side and then
under the wall into the other part
where the chickens We're roosting and
at other places it had scratched its
way inside of the chicken houses and
barns
The neghborhood will feel relieved
now that the guilty party has been
executed.

The hull is painted white with red under

there is deokhouse 1853 feet long and above
this is a sun deck. The lower deck is teak,
and on the model ii has been stained to
have the appearance Of that wood The
promenade deck is of white pine laid in long
lengths, and to give this the proper effect
thin lines in waterproof ink are ruled.
The chart house, upper rail and flying
bridge are Of mahogany. and that wood has
been used on the model. This has been very
cleverly put on and the joiner work is Of the
best. Six boats are slung from the davits
and all outboard, 80 that not an inch o.

For instance the deadeyes, which on the

The New York Yacht Club decided some

models Of the hulls, but models Of famous
yachts, such as the cup defenders aud
challengers, are fully nggei
Not very long ago model makers were
practically unknown in this country.
Models were made and rugged but they
represented the original only in a general
way, Mr.. Boucher has made a study Of
model building and has put so much time
into his work that now models can be ma le
here better than anywhere else.
Some time ago Sir Thomas Upton pre-
sented TO the New York Yacht Club a rigred
model Of the Shamrock Ill. The WORK was
done poorly and the rigging would not stand.

the work over again. The model is now

it has been shaped il has TO be smoothed
and painted. 1t took eight coats Of paint
and each had TO be rubbed down to get the
hull Of the model Of the Vanadis ft.
The hull finished, the deck houses have
to be put on, and these are built to scale.
White pine or mahogany is used for this
work, and then come the fittings. The graf
ings are laid just as on the larger vessels.
Some model makers have stamped wood
t. represent gratings, but Mr., Boucher has
thin strips cut and laid accurately. which

Then comes the work Of rigging. For
the masts white holly is used, and the
shrouds are made Of copper wire silvered
and oXidized. This makes the rigging re-
senble steel and it does not discolor. Each
shroud is made Of seven or nine strands,
twisted, and each is set up with a turn
buckle. These tiny turn buckles have
right and left hand screws. the screws no
thicker than a pin, The shrouds arc yet
taut and the strain is equalized.
A little trick tells when the tension is
properly distributed. The man setting up
the shroud picks each with his finger as a
violin player does the strings Of his instru-
ment, and when each gives the same note
each has the same tension
The blocks are made Of bow wood and are
