FARMER LIVES IN A CAVE
PALACE ON MOUNTAIN TOP
Granite Approached by
Road nd Ground Kept N Perfec Condition
PRAIRIE GROVE, Ark.-One 0

PRAIRIE GROVE, Ark.-One of
the most prominent and successful
farmers of this section, who is an
active member of the National Farm
ers' Union, has dwelt in a cave for
years.
1t is probably the most palatial
cave in the world, and is fitted up
with all modern conveniences, in
Guiding hot and cold water, electric
fans, electric lights and steam heat.
He discovered the cave at the top
of mountain 700 feet high
1t is rs feet long by % feet wide,
and 80 feet high. The walls are of
beautiful granite, which has been
handsomely polished. The ceiling is
40 feet thick.
The front of the cave is of glass,
which the owner and occupant, H. S.
Mobley, put in, together with hard
wood floors.
The fues for the cooking range
pass out through the mouth of the
cave and extend outward a distance

of nearly forty feet. Movable screens
permit the increase and reduction of
rooms at the pleasure of the occu-
pants.
A fine spring at the top of the
mountain furnishes water through
"a private system of waterworks.
This novel dwelling was completed
about two years ago. 1t is ap-
preached by beautiful road ascend
ing the crest of the mountain by
easy stages, and the grounds about
the cave are kept in perfect condi-
ton.
The occupants declare that it is
the coolest dwelling in summer and
the most comfortable in winter, and
they have no fear of cyclones, which
are frequent in that region.
Neither heat nor cold penetrates
the solid protection of yards of gran
tie. Mr.. Mobly says he will live in
the cave for the rest of his life. The
cave is in easy driving distance Of
this town.

make forays. They had invaded the
country on the northern part, and
were encroaching further toward
Pekin and the provinces of the south.
1t was in this crisis that Shi-Hoangti
performed the feats of valor that
made his name forever famous in
Chinese song and poem. Assemb-
ling a mighty army he threw him
self on the Monaghan hordes, fought
them, defeated them, and sent them
flying back from Chinese territory.
But 1T was not enough to have
downed the enemy. The Mongols all
ways came back. They had a per-
tinacity that made them the most
dangerous of foes. Therefore, it be-
came necessary to construct a barrier
that would unfailingly perform its
duty
Everything had to be done by
hand, for the great engineering de-
vices that today accomplish the work
of 500 men had not then been in
vented But fortunately labor was
plenty in this most thickly populated
country in the world, and swiftly the
great wall moved into it's place, grim
and powerful and able to withstand
any assault that Mongols might
make.
It's battlemented walls are so feet
high, and at every few hundred feet
they bristle with towers where in
days of yore Chinese warriors stood
ever ready to repel the invader.
The wall is Is feet wide, and is
built for the greater part of it's way
of mortared brick and stone.
