tive.
There is no waste room in this plan;
even the low space under the roof Is
taken for closets and used for storage
purposes In a small house you need
more storage room because every
family has certain things that are only
used when the season for them comes
around. At other times they must be
stored away and properly cared for.
In building this little house provi-
sion is made for gas, water pipes and
electric wiring. Houses built even on
farms should have these improve
ments. If you haven't gas or electrici-
ty this year you may have it next year.
Inventions are following each other
with such rapidity that luxuries are

because you do not happen to live IN

in the kitchen and bathroom at little
extra cost by putting a pressure tank

built without bathroom and kitchen
sink. Other luxuries, such as gas and
electricity, may be added later, but a
person should anticipate all the mod
ern conveniences when building and
secure them as soon afterward as pos
sible.

anyway, because you have the win

A little house we'll arranged may
be so thoroughly we'll heated and Ven

good as the air outside, and the cost
of heating will be less than, say, in
an ordinary house Of eight rooms. with

It is necessary to learn how to fur

not necessary to have small pieces of

very active, absolutely fearless, and

usually be safest to have two men go
at one together. Peccaries are not diff
ficult beasts to kill. because their short
wind and their pugnacity make them
come to bay before hounds SO quickly.

usually treat them with a certain
amount of caution; but, as a matter of
fact, l know Of but one case where a
man was hurt by them. He had shot
at and wounded one, was charged
both by it and by it's two companions,
and started to climb tree; but as he
drew himself from the ground, one
sprang at him and bit him through the
calf, inflicting a very severe wound.
I have known of several cases OF
horses being cut, however. and dogs
are very commonly killed. Indeed, a
dog new to the business is almost GER
tain to get very badly Scared, and no
dog that hunts steadily can escape
without some injury. II it runs in
right at the heads of the animals. the
probabilities are that it will get killed;
and, as a rule, even two good-siZed
hounds cannot kill peccary, though
1t is no larger than either of them.
However, a wary, resolute, hard-biting
dog of good size speedily gets accus-
toned to the chase, and can kill a
peccary single-handed, selling 1t from
behind and worrying it to death. or
watching it's chance and grabbing it by
the back of the neck where it joins the
head.
Peccaries have delicately moulded
short legs. and their feet are small,
the tracks looking peculiarly dainty in
consequence. Hence, they do not swim
well, though they take to the water If
necessary. They feed on roots. prick
ly pears, nuts. insects, lizards. etc.
They usually keep entirely separate
from the droves of half-wild swine
that are so often found in the same
neighborhoods; but in one case, on this
very ranch whereI was staying, pee
cary deliberately joined party OF
nine pigs and associated with them.

WILL TAFT AND
CANNON CLASH ?
Prospects of Row Between the
ReVisIonists and Stand.
Patters.
By Ernest G. Walker.

(Mail Special to the Advertiser.)
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 22.-All
at once the political talk of the coun'
try is centering on Taft and Cannon.
There is running to and fro among the
little Congressman, not the big ones.
This man, who has been to Hot Springs,
says so and that man, who, too, has
been to Hot Springs says thus. "A
fight, fight" comes the yell from
many quarters and high old time is
predicted by the ready prophets for
the very beginning of the new admin
istratioI.
1t win be well to discount the alarm
cries very materially and to bear in
mind a few things, that are as certain
to happen along in March, 1909, as
anything can be in politics. One is
that "Uncle Joe' Cannon win be re-
elected Speaker a third time, when
Congress assemblies in the extra session,
which Mr.. Taft has promised to call.
Another is that the new President, Mr..
Taft, wants to work in harmony with
Senate and House and in all probable
ity will be able to realize his wishes.
The Speaker is not likely to antagonize
Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Taft is not likely
to antagonize Mr.. Cannon. Perhaps
the President and Congress will quarrel
before four years have passed and per
haps they will not quarrel.
Overzealous friends of the new Pres
ident are possibly responsible for con,
siderable of the hostile talk. Mr.. Taft
is much in earnest for very thorough
revision of the tariff. It is exceedingly
important to the success of his admin
istration that he secure thorough re-
vision. Many, many voters, who were
moved to support the Republican ticket
at the recent election on the plea that
the Republicans would revise the SEIZED,
ules thoroughly but with as little dis
turbance to legitimate business as
might be, win expect the pledges Of
