State Of Kansas, Appellee. Ap-

Syllabus:

Syllabus:
Law-Paw; Guilt-Wilt
When upon thy frame the law
places its majestic paw--though in in
nOcence, or guiIt-thou art then re
quired to wilt.
Statement of the Case by the
Reporter:
This defendent while at large,
Was arrested on a charge
OF burglarious intent,
And direct to jail he went.
But somehow felt misused,
And through prison walls he oozed,
And in some unheard-of shape
He affected his escape.
I'll Ialf!. = @I<aJ.t@n.zi III
Mark you, now: Again the law
On defendant placed it's paw,
Like a hand of iron mail
And resocked him into jail
Which said jail, while so corraled.
He by sockage tenure held.
Then the court met, and they tried
Lewis up and down each side;
On the good old-fashioned plan;
But the jury cleared the man.
Now, you think that this strange case
Ends at just about this place.
Nay, not SO. Again the law
On defendant placed it's paw
This time takes him round the cape
For effecting an escape;
He, unable to give bail,
Goes reluctantly to Jail.
Lewis, tried for this last act,
Makes a special plea of fact:
Wrongly did the me arrest,
''As my trial did attest,
'tAnd while rightfully at large,
''Taken on a wrongful charge.
4 took back from them what they
''From me wrongly took away
When this special plea was heard,
Thereupon the State demurred.
The defendant then was panied
When the Court was heard to say
In cold impassioned way
''The demurrer is sustained" "
Back to jail did Lewis go,
But as liberty was dear,
He appeals and now is here
To reverse the Court below.
The opinion will contain
ALI the statements that remain.
Argument and Brief of Appellant.
AS a matter, sir, of fact.
Who was injured by our act,
Any property, or MANI
| Point it out, sir, if you can.
| Can you seize US when at large
On a baseIess, trumped-up charge;
And if we escape, then say

/ What was wrongfully obtained?
Please -the-court, sir, what is crime?
What is right, and what is wrong?
Is our freedom but a song
| Or the subject of a rhyme?
Argument and Brief Of Attorney for
the State:
When the State, that is to say,
We take liberty away
When the paddock and the hasp
Leaves one helpless in our grasp,
It's unlawful hten that he
Even dreams of liberty
Wicked dreams that may in time
Grow and ripen into crime
Grimes of dark and damning shape;
Then, if he perchance escape,
Evermore remorse will roll
Ger his shattered, sin-sick soul,
Please the Court, sir, how can we
Manage people who get free?

In the early days when lumber was
cheap, buildings were built of logs.
or at least had heavy frames. Under
these conditions the rectangular barn
was the one naturally used, and peo-
pie have followed in the footsteps of
their ~forefathers in continuing this
form Of barn. The result is that the
economy and advantages of the round
barn have apparently never been con-
sidered. This is because they are not
obvious at first sight, and become
fully apparent only after a detailed
study of the construction. For these
reasons, the rectangular form still
continues to be built, although it re-
quires much more lumber. AS the
price of lumber has advanced so mate
rally in recen years, the possible
saving In this material is a large item,
and well worth Investigating.
The difficulty with most round barns
that have been built, thus far, is that
they do not have a self-supporting
roof, and consequently lost many OF
h advantages of a properly con-
structed round barn. This is the prin-
cipal reason why round barns have
not become more popular. A straight
roof necessarily requires many sup
ports in the barn below. These are
both costly and i~nconvenient, and
make the roof no stronger than a
dome-shaped, self-supporting roof
which nearly doubles the capacity OF
the NOW.
Many who have thus disregarded
capacity have also wasted lumber and
made a needless amount of work by
chopping or hewing out the sill and
plate, thus requiring more labor and
lumber, besides sacrificing the great
or strength of a buiIt-up sill. +
Another reason for the scarcity of
round barns is the difficulty in get
ting them built. Most carpenters
hesitate to undertake the work be-
cause in the erection of a round barn
the construction should be entirely
different from that of the rectangu-
lar form. Many new problems pre-
sent themselves, but when these are
once understood, the round barn Of
fers no more difficulties in construc-
ton than the rectangular form.
The first thing to consider in the
erection Of a barn is a convenient
arrangement for the purpose for which
It Is to be used.
Considering that the barn on a dairy
farm is used twice every day in the
| year, and that for six months each
year h COWS occupy it almost con-
sinuously, and that during this time
a large amount of the labor OF the
farm is done inside the barn, it is
evident that the question of It's con-
venience Is a vital one.
The circular constructions is the
strongest. because it takes advantage
Of the lineal, instead of the break
ing strength of the lumber. Each
row of boards running around the
barn forms a hoop that holds the
barn together. A barrel, properly
hoped and headed. is almost hides
tructible, and much stronger than q
box. although the hoops are small,
This strength is because the stress
comes on the hoops in a lineal direc-
