DOUBLE GATE BETTER THAN SINGLE.


etc. in the joints as the work goes up,
and in about tWentyfour hours time
fill the post with the following mix
ture: One part cement, three parts
sand and five or six parts coarse
gravel or broken stone. Stone as large
as hens eggs may be used. Make this
concrete rather wet and fill to the top,
when the caps may be set in place.
The double gate shown in the sec

gle gate. 1t will not sag; it requires no
hinges; it may be easily fastened with
hooks or latches. 1t looks neat, and
when cattle are kept there Is less dan
ger to the stock in passing through.
Square timbers or heavy poles may be
used. The gate is twenty feet wide
and sixteen or eighteen high. The two
outside posts should be set well in the
ground and braced at the top, as
shown. The center post, to which the
gate is made fast, turns at the top, in
the cross timber. and the lower end
sets on a large stone Iron pins are
placed in both the top and lower end
for pivots. and Il post must be set
about ten feet from the center post
and in line with same, to which the
gate is hooked when necessary to have
it open for any length of time.

are building an eighteen inch post.
Build one box eighteen inches square
on the inside and eight inches deep.
For larger post have the box deeper,
for smaller post not so deep. Build
a second box the same depth ten inches
square on the outside. Place the small
box inside of the larger one and as
near the center as possible. Nail stout
strips across the opposite corners to
hold the boxes square and in place.
Set the mold or boxes on any level
floor or board and you are ready to
make the blocks.
The mixture for filling the mold is as
follows: One part cement and four
parts sand If you desire smooth
block If the rough surface is pre-
ferred use some coarse gravel or crush
ed stone in place of all sand. Mix the
two together dry and add water until
the consistency is jelly-like and a hand
full when squeezed will hold its shape
Fill the mold, lamp lightly, let set for
very short time, tap the outside box
lightly with a hammer and lift straight
up. Small cleats should be nailed on the
outside of the large box for hand holds,
The surfaces of the boxes touched
by the cement must be smooth, kept
clean and well oiled with any oil or
soft soap. The operation is repeated
until the required number Of blocks
have been made. When dry, which
will be in about ten days, excavate
not less than three feet deep and have
the excavation eight inches larger on
all sides than the post Lay the blocks

What Is NV THOUGHT Like?

One of the players in this game
thinks of some obiect-it may be per-
son, an animal or a thing-and each
player is questioned by the thinker"
"What is my thought like?" and must
make an answer, Like a monkey"
Like a table," Like a fish," Like a
mischievous boy" and so on. When
all have answered the thinker tells
them the object thought of. Perhaps
it was a person present. Each player
must then justify his reply or, failing
this, pay porfeit.
For instance, the one who said the
object was like monkey when told
the name of Il gentleman present as
the object would reply, 81 said Mr..
- was like a monkey because he is
fond of nuts" The next would say,
81 said Mr. was like q table be-
cause he is rather wooden looking"
"He is like fish because he is fond
of the water" and so on.

The Persistent Social Aspirant.

PersiStency Is ever the hallmark Of
the woman determined to be recOg-
nized socially, and she applies it with
out stint to the smallest detail of each
undertaking, nagging, insisting and
pushing until some part is accomplish
ed. So, too, do some women pursue
an eligible man, never needing the
thousand and one evidences he gives
Of Indifference, but lodging artfully
around each sign of mo intentions"
and bobbing up in his path at all turns.
1t is useless to argue that they do not
gain their end and aim, for many
times they do. In the long run society
yields to the persistency of this type
Of woman or the man is safely har-
messed to her triumphal car.

places are taken by the players whose
names they guessed. The others re-
main blindfolded until they guess
rightly. Only one guess is allowed

made
And under the glistening trees
Beyond the snow, where the cold winds
blow
Through the cave of the old March
breeze,
Then down the lane of the April rain
Under violet scented showers
And off by way of the hills of May
With their apple blossom bowers,
Then on again through leafy glen stle,
With the bird songs all atune,
Where'you rest awhile, at the rose hung,
For you've found the way to June.
