What He Saw.

"Do tell me something about Mr..
OIdplot's latest play" said the young
Iadv on the bottom stair at the dance.
"They say the climax at the close of
the third acts superb. Won't you de-
scribe it to me as you saw it?"
81 will grimly consented the young
man with the split white kid gloves.
."The heroine came slowly on and
knelt. dagger in hand. behind clump
of pink ribbons. Then the hero emerg-
ed from a large bunch of purple flow
ers, and as soon as she perceived him
she fell upon him. stabbed him twice
with a handsome hatpin, and he sank
back into Il beautiful aigret.'
What in the world are you talking
about?" exclaimed the fair listener.
''Well." replied the narrator. you
see. the lady in front of me refused to
move her hat. and that is just how
the scene appeared to me.'-London

here is very heavy. If there are more
than twenty rods in a single line it
will be necessary TO brace line post
midway between the corners to stretch
from. as more than twenty rods can
not be frightened satisfactorily at one
stretch.
Wherever gate is to be put in the
posts will have to be braced solidly.
A good way to do this is TO put in
posts that will extend about twelve
feet above the ground and connect the
tops with strong wire. This method
of bracing cannot be used with cement
posts as they will not stand much
lateral strain. -
A swinging gate is by far the most
convenient. provided it is properly put
in. 1t should be well enough braced
so that it will not sag and drag on the
ground. In places where the snow is
likely to drift gate that can be adj
justed to various heights is great
convenience. Fig. 2 shows conven-
lent s3and easily constructed type of
wooden gate For road gates and at
sother places where appearance counts
for anything an iron gate is preferable.

but the cost is considerably greater.

The Story of a Turtles Meal.

full. His body was already out OF

both sides of that isoceles triangle
which turtles mouth makes when it
is closed and waved Il frantic fare

The turtle was Il long time in masli-

The Limit.

There is blacksmith who has shop

for good work. especially in the max

an expert on any kind of ironwork.
Recently a man dropped in on him
while he was working on a pair of ice
hooks.

hooks,'' said the caller.

PICKING a Horse.

A British cavalry officer. speaking of
horses, said:
"Give me free hand and l should
pick a roan-that is, for good temper
and quick learning. Dark grays and
blacks are mostly strong and hardy.
and so are dark chestnuts As a gen.
eral rule. light chestnuts and light
bays are nervous and delicate. A rusty

stockings as they call them. You
know the old saying, One white legs
a bad I'm. two white legs you may sell
to friend. three white legs you may
trust for time, four white legs you
may lay your life on
This does not agree with an old YAM
kee saying:
2 One white foot, buy him;
Two white feet try him;
Three white feet look well about him;
Four white feet, go on without him.
Now, however, the American idea is
similar to that of. the sergeant, and
they say, -Four white feet you can
stake your life on him."-London Spec

Washington, June 15.-The next big
rules fight in the house of represen-
tatives is brewing rapidly. All par
ties and all factions thereof were oc
cupied today with the consideration
of the proposition. The leaders of
both republican and democratic par
ties, as we'll as the insurgents, were
engrossed with it.
The question has resolved itself to
what the house shall do to provide
means by which member may re-
call a bill or resolution from stand
ing committee after that committee
has failed to report. In short, the end
sought is how to- prevent legislation
from being "smothered in commit
tee."
One of the highest parliamentary
authorities of the republican regular
side said today that Speaker Reed
and every speaker succeeding him
had been of the conviction that such
a plan should be devised. The diff
Guilty of providing such a scheme
and at the same time not make it a
vehicle for libustering by a hostile
minority, has heretofore deferred &C

Two proposed rules on the subject
were offered in the house today, one
by Champ Clark Of Missouri leader
of the minority, which represents the
composite democratic idea on the
subject, and another by Madison,
republican, of Kansas, one of the
leaders of the insurgent republicans.
