This Barn Grows Higher.

Canistota, S. D.-A few years ago a
farmer near Goliad built a stall barn,
using green willow posts at the corner
| and all along the sides. After a year
had passed he saw that, whereas he
had put the floor on the ground, it
was then three feet above the soil.
The willow posts, instead of being
dead, we're very much alive. In their
upward move they had carried the
barn along.
Last year the barn was on stills
nine feet high, and the farmer put in
a new floor and surrounded the posts
with siding, thereby making a two
story affair. There is now a space of
eight inches between the floor and
the ground, and the owner expects
to have a three-story barn by 1910.
Eventually, he thinks, he may be
compelled to install elevator service
to reach the upper floors. =.

The Shirred Sleeves.

In this day of mousquetaire sleeves
1t is a problem how to make them
so that they will look snlrred and
yet be quite secure. Furthermore,
when they are made of wash net or
other washable fabrics 1T Is almost
impossible to launder them II hey
are made In the usual way.
One clever oma has found that
the inside seam of the sleeve may be
made like a French seam. through
which a tape may be run. The tape
should be a little longer than the
sleeve is when pulled out to its full
length. The seam for the second
drawstring may be taken UP on the
outer side of the sleeve, and through
this also a tape may be run. When
the dress is worn the string may be
drawn up to the armhole until the
sleeve is the correct length and then
the cord may be tied up inside. When
it Is time to la.under them the strings
may be united, the sleeves pulled out
to their full length and the work thus
made easy.

Then Mccormick took affairs in hand.
Seeing the matter required careful

in righting a municipal wrong.
The chief of police was aghast when
Mccormick made his request, as his
absence would deplete the force and
the other policemen in the town would
have double patrol duty to do. but
granted the request.
In a few days he vas back on the
job, a smile of satisfaction spread
over his countenance. The tramp
problem was solved.
Tramps who applied for lodging

way in which they were received.
Never in all their tramp lives had
they been escorted to the supper table

EGG REVEALS GOLD
HAS MAP SHOWING SPOT OF
BURIED TREASURE ON SHELL.
Ezra Delivers One Dollar for Gypsr
Wares and Gets Wonderful Sc
cret In Return for His
Money.

Tyson, vt.-Ezra Burt, who lives
a hen which no amount Of money will
buy. 1t is a scrawny, disappearing
fowl with bedraggled feathers and a
semi-bald head, and what is more 1t
has laid only one egg in it's entire two
years existence. Still, old Betsy, as
the hen is called, has a niche in Ez-
ra's heart, and gets the very best
grain the farm affords.
The secret of all this is that the
one egg Betsy laid contained on it's
shell a raised water-line map of the
spot where old jeremiah Burt, Ezra's
great-grandfather, buried his gold at
the time of the revolutionary war, and
with the aid of this map Ezra recov-
cred the treasure. Just how much this
was no one has been able to find out,
but it is known that the mortgage on
the farm has been paid off and the
Burt family is living in comfort.
The Burts gave up hunting for the
secreted wealth 40 years ago, after
they had searched and dug until they
were tired out. They knew that the
paternal Burt sunk his gold some
where in the earth, and went off to
war without telling his family where
he had placed it, further than that it
was on the farm.
Last summer a gypsy came along
selling beads and laces and offered to
go into a trance and solve the treasure
riddle provided Ezra bought a dol
lars worth of her wares. Burt took up
the offer and in her trance the woman
said that some day an old scrawny
hen would lay an ngg in which would
be found a map. If this were followed
the treasure would be found. Ezra
thought he was "stung," but he paid
the dollar.
Nothing more happened until a
month ago., when Betsy was found In
the wood box behind the kitchen
stove. Mortified at the idea of having
a hen in her kitchen, Mrs. Burt shooed
her out, and was surprised to find an
egg nesting in the shavings. The egg
had peculiar raised lines on the shell,
and Ezra was called. He remembered
the prophecy of the gypsy and care
fully studied the shell. Sure enough
there was a map with a little star at
the base Of an old maple tree in the
sugar orchard.
With a pick and shovel Burt set
forth, and an hour later returned
with a d%iscolored copper soap kettle
heavy with gold. The family kept the
secret until the mortgage vas paid,
when it became common property. All
efforts to get Ezra to tell how much
money he found in the kettle have
failed.
