Not long after the attempted kidnapping an

applied at the White House and was employed
as coachman. From the first he was domineer-

that he was discharged and Bourke reinstated.
One night shortly afterward, just about dusk.
the discharged coachman was seen sneaking
around the stables by some Of the guard. The
stables had been locked for the night and 1t was
not supposed that he could do any damage and
consequently the who saw him did not go
to the stables Presently the whole interior of
the barns found to be on fire. The guard
was called out and by dint of great exertion we
saved the presidents coach and team, but Tad
Lincoln's ponies and Col Hays carriage team
perished IN the flames. .E
The plan was to have this man fire the
stables and thus to distract our attention. Dur
Ing the excitement some of the conspirators were
ready to rush into the White House and murder

replied that somebody had fired gun off down
at the foot of the hill. which scared his horse,
and the lurch of the animal toppled his hat off.

Thinking the proceeding a little strange, a

which the report of the gun had been heard, to
investigate. When we came to the place where
the driveway meets the main road we found the
presidents hat-a plain silk hat-and on examin-

The next day l gave Mr.. Lincoln his hat and
called his attention to the bullet hole He uncon-

foolish gunner and was not intended for him. He
said, however, that he wanted the matter kept

Round Dairy Barn.

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 1t re-
quires much more lumber. AS the
price of lumber has advanced so mate
rally in recent years, the possible
saving in this material is large item,
and well worth investigating
The difficulty with most round barns
that have been built, thus far. is that
they do not have self-supporting
roof, and consequently lost many of
the advantages Of a properly con-
structed round baru. 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 inconvenient, 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
er strength of a built-up sill.
Another reason fot' 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-
iar 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
1t 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 the cows occupy It almost con.
tnuously, and that during this time
