There had come with us from Heb

the stride, and the docility of the
beast. II seemed q worthy camel; q
camel of excellent humor and Of dis

coveted by the way. At night, as the
custom Is, the man was used to sleep
ing close to his beast, the winds being
chill; but now. at Rafieh. while the
mules were unloading and the cook
was coaxing his fire, he tethered the
camel, flung his saddle on the sand

BUILDING CEMENT ICE BOX

BY RaIston j. Markoe Civil and

In building an Ice box, refrigerator

a large refrigerator, by keeping few
principles in mind the matter becomes
simple enough.
To make q cold storage room OF

you wish your cold storage room to

The Figures Settled Il.

Two men got into an argument dur
ing lunchtime in the Astor house ro-
tunda at New York the other day.
One was from the east, one from the
west Each had many things to say
of the infinite inferiority OF the rest
OF the country. Finally the man from
the east challenged: Come out here
an get licked. you big stin," he
begged.
you can't lick me-" said the other,
decidedly.
"Cer'nly en- lick you'll" shouted
the man from the east. 'Lookee
here"
He went to a Weighing machine
near at hand and solemnly climbed
up on It. He peered at the dial for q
moment. "Thero!" he said in tri.
umph. Two hummer and forty-eight
pounds. Cer'nly en- lick you"
The westerner walked over to the
scales and focused one eye on the
needle. Guess that's ri'," he com
mented. "Gissa drink, bartender"
Who can say, after that, there ID
need for an International Peace SO

Now. no man can carry on any bust

finding that politics is going to cut

line. 1t may be directly, or 1t may be
Indirectly, but 1t IL sure to AFFECT him
in some way. A good many business
men simply shrug their shoulders and
charge politics to profit and loss.'
The condition OF a street or district
was a matter Of politics.; the paving
and sidewalk surroundings, whether
good or bad, meant politics; the health
of the ward depended on 1t; the light
ing of the streets at night and the
sprinkling Of them in summer and the
removal Of the snow in winter was
.'politics;" the schools. parks, alleys,
boulevards-why, the very air one
breathed and the water he drank was

These concerns sometimes wanted to
