was used to tie the rods together at
the corners. 1t is best to bend the
bottom rods UP to extend into the
sides. If quarter-inch rods are not
available, pieces of new barbed wire
placed four inches apart and within
an inch of the outer surface will
serve the purpose very satisfactorily.
The forms can be built of one or
two-inch lumber Unseasoned lumber
is best, but seasoned will do If 1t Is
soaked well before using. The inside
form should be removed just as soon
as the cement will stand alone, but
the outside form may be left for sew
eral days. Brace the forms firmly.
Put in all the cemSnt at once. thus
preventing any leaky place.
Use one part portland cement. one
and one-half parts coarse. clean sand
and three parts crushed rock not lar
ger than three-quarters of an inch in
diameter. Mix all very thoroughly and
add water until of the consistency OF
thick cream After pouring into the
forms, straight-edge the top and round
the corners with trowel.
After the forms are removed and
the concrete is hard enough to stand
brushing, paint all parts with a
creamy mixture of cement and water
Keep the tank moist and protected
from the sun for five or six days
Then it is ready to fill with water.

Ancient Rome's Libraries.

Inc libraries OF ancient Rome were
immense and splendid. Lucullus,
whose name is associated with table
luxuries, expended much of his wealth
on books. His library, says Plutarch,
had walks, galleries and cabinets
open to all visitors" Julius Caesar
proposed to open this library definite
ly to the public. How were these vast
libraries, in addition to the bookshops
filled? With his trained staff of read
ers and transcribers, publisher
could turn out an edition of any work
at very cheap rates, and almost at a
moments notice There was no initial
expense of typesetting before single
copy could be produced, no ruinous
extras in the shape Of printers cor
rections. The manuscript came from
the author; the publisher handed II
over to his slaves; and If book Of
modest dimensions the complete edi
ton could be ready If necessary with
in twenty-four hours

Cement has solved the problem of
farm tanks. Farmers have all had
more or less trouble with wooden and
steal watering tanks for our stock.
We have had to plaster up the cracks
with mud and spare the leg of our old
overalls when the tank sprung leak.
No use doing 1t any more when we
can build cement tank for the price
of few pairs of blue overalls.
My first cement tank was failure
simply because the inside was not
made sloping enough and the mixture
was not rich enough. l put in a little
more reinforcing in my second tank.
The inside slope should not be less
than two or three inches to the foot.
This will prevent cracking when the
water freezes in winter.
1t is very good plan to put in an
underdrain. This can easily be done
by using round plug of soaked wood
in the bottom of the tank while 1t is
being built
The cement tank now in use on my
farm has been in service for two years
and is in as good condition now as
when first built. 1t is rectangular in
shape. - feet long, feet wide, and
212 feet deep, inside measurements.
The wall are inches thick at the top
and 8 inches at the bottom. The
sides and bottom are reinforced both
vertically and horizontally. Soft wire

CONDEMNS MEN IN BOTH PAR
TIES WHO DO NOT WORK FOR
PEOPLES INTERESTS.
BELIEVES IN DIRECT VOTE FOR SENATORS
Declares Progressive Movement Is a
Determination of the American
People to Manage Their Own
Business Themselves.

New Rochelle, N. Y.-Before 1000
people in the New Rochelle thea
ter, Clifford Pinchot, we'll known
throughout the country because of his
conservation ideas in opposition to
Richard A. Ballinger of President
Tafts cabinet, spoke on "A Report of
Progress" during which he said the
progressive movement is nothing
more than the determination of the
American people to take their own
affairs back into their own hands and
manage their own business them
selves.
Mr.. Pinchot declared that the con-
servation idea was progressing stead
lily and he predicted great advance
ment year by year. He asserted that
the election of United States sena.
tors by direct vote of the people
would carry New York with a rush.
Then he fired this broadside: who
will dare to maintain that Sheehan is
the choice of majority of the DEM
ocratic voters of New York-Shee-
growth of patriotic men, would al
ready have inflicted on the state?
Yet if single Tammany politician
shall outweigh his party and Murphy
succeeds, the Republicans will do we'll

finger of scorn, for Murphy Sbd Tam

to say: Under our political theory
the will of the people is supreme Un-
der the political practices of the old
line politicians the function of the
people has not often been limited to
voting for one or several candidates or
tickets, the success of any of which
will mean, and is known in advance to
mean, the total disregard of the pop
ular will. Examples of how old line
politicians disregard the will of the
people crowd upon us from many
sides. Who will venture to assert that
Lorimer would have been the choice
of the people of Illinois-Lorimer,
whose defenders are reduced to max

that the admitted corruption of his
election was not sufficient to invali-
date it altogether. We have checked
the Guggenheims in their efforts to
absorb Alaska and have opened the
way for the use of the vast resources
of that territory mainly for the bene-
fit of the people of Alaska and the
United States. That fight is not yet
ended, for privilege in possession lets
go slowly, but thanks to the fearless
self-sacrifice of an honest man,

good, young CLAWS, we have won
back to where a victory is possible

ARCHBISHOP'S BODY At REST
Patrick John Ryan is Honored by
Thousands of People and Many
Dignataries.

Philadelphia, Pa.-The body of
the late Archbishop Patrick John
Ryan was inferred in the crypt be-
meath the high altar of the cathedral
of st. Peter and st. Paul in this
city following funeral services that
were imposing and in keeping with
the dignity OF the high office held by
the departed metropolitan. 1t was one
of the greatest funerals ever held in
Philadelphia. Practically all the prom
inent figures in the hierarchy of the
Roman Catholic church in the United
States participated in the elaborate
service and hundreds of priests from
all parts of the east also were pres
ent. The cathedral was filled with
crowd of $500 and on the outside was
a great concourse of people who wit
messed the solemn procession from
the church around Logan square and
back to the edifice.

.PO|SONER ENDSOWNL|FE
SWALLOWS FATAL DRUG AS Off.
GERS COME TO ARREST HIM.
Chemist Put Potion In Coffee That
Was Drank. at Parents Dinner
Party, Causing Two Deaths.

London, Eng.-The coffee poison.
ing mystery at Dalkeith had tragic
sequel in the suicide of John Hutchin-
son, a son of one of the victims, who
swallowed a fatal drug in the pres
ence of officers who came to arrest
him. The suicide was a chemist and
was charged with having placed poi
son in the coffee served at dinner
party at his fathers home, resulting
in two deaths and the serious illness
of several other persons.
On the evening of February 4
Charles b. Hutchinson, about so years
of age, connected with the Duke of
Buccleuch's Dalkeith estate office,
gave a dinner for 16 friends. At the
end of the meal coffee was served,
first to the ladies and later to the men.
After few minutes several of the
ladies became ill and then number
of the men complained of distress.
Physicians were summoned, but the
host died in the night Later Alex
ander Clapperton, a relative died.
Postmortem examinations revealed
that the deaths were due to poison
ing, and suspicion fell on the son,
John. A warrant for his arrest was
issued and the officers found him at
hotel at Guernsey. An exciting
scene followed, during which the
young man drew a vial from his
pocket, and, despite the efforts of the
officers to prevent him, drank the
contents. He died in few moments.
A possible motive for the poisoning
is suggested by the report that Clap
perton was rival of young Hutchin-
son for the hand of Dalkeith girl.

PLAGUE KILLS OFF $4,000
subonic Disease Spreading in Chinese
Provinces With Great Rapidity-
Only One Case of Recovery.

Pekin, China.-The estimates of
the viceroy of Manchuria and the
foreign office place the number of vic
tins of bubonic plague to date at 75,-
600, while some say nearly double that
number of fatalities have occurred
The death rate at Harbin alone is 25G
daily. Several doctors working in the
effected districts have succumbed The
problem of disposing of the dead is
almost as formidable as the plague
itself. The frozen ground makes
burial impossible. Cremation has be-
gun at Harbin, the people at last hav-
ing given their consent to the sum-
mary disposal of 1000 corpses. The
plague is spreading to the villages
with a rapidity that offsets the ad-
vances made against it at the centers.
The best progress is reported by the
committee working below Mukden.

Flies to warshlp Without Platform.

San Diego, Cal.-Using one of his
hydro-aeroplanes, Aviator Glen Cur
tiss alighted on the water alongside
the armored cruiser Pennsylvania. The
machine was hoisted on board. Soon
afterward the aeroplane was dropped
back into the water and the aviator
flew away to his hangar on North
island. The test was made to show
the navy department that an aero
plane, equipped like that of Curtiss',
does not need an especially construct
ed platform on ships deck to make
it of practical use to the navy.

Moore of Pennsylvania characterizes
Colleagues Speech as unjust,
Outrageous and offen-
sive."

Washington, d. C.-Representative
Macon of Arkansas in the house
made sensational attack upon Capt.
Robert E. Peary, denouncing him as
"faker" and declaring that he
SHOULD be driven from the naval
service" Representative j. Hampton
Moore of Pennsylvania characterized
Mr.. Macon's speech as unjust, out
rageous and Offensive Mr.. Macon
declared that Peary's whole story was
"a fake" pure and simple. He said
his contempt for fake heroes" was SUI
preme and he intimated that he put
the hero of San Juan Hill'' in that
class. He denounced the Peary Arctic
club and charged that it had main
tanned paid lobby in Washington.
He said that President Tafts judg-
ment in this matter was not to be ac-
cepted, for he had congratulated Cook
as heartily as he did Peary. He re-
ferred to Peary as fur trader" pic
tured him as "a self exaggerated, self
opinionated, puffed up near hero" and
finally, denounced him as IAN unfaith-
full servant and an idle loafer, who
ought to be driven from the service
instead of being promoted"
Mr.. Macon said he had the utmost
contempt for human beings so
'weazen Drained" that they were
afraid to say what they really thought
about Peary, because they feared
some unblushing, know all, tidbit edi-
tor of yellow journals, would call them
ignorant blatherskites."

is so Ignorant as to be terror-stricken
all the time for fear he will be called
ignorant by saphead or so cowardly
that he is afraid to think his own
thoughts for fear some graft-loving
editor will find out what he is think
ing about and adversely criticize him
therefore"
Mr. Macon expressed the belief that
Peary and Cook on one of the trips
to the north when they were ccmpan-
ions figured out that it would be easy
to fake" a discovery of the pole and
he charged that they both started out
at the same time to claim the discov-
cry. Mr.. Macon spoke for an hour and
forty minutes. When Mr.. Moore arose
to reply he said he had great respect
for newspapers and newspaper men
and he had noted with pride that the
press gallery had remained empty
throughout the time the gentleman
from Arkansas had the floor Mr..
Moore proceeded to pay glowing
tribute to Captain Peary. Representa-
tive Saunders of Virginia also spoke
in support Of Captain Peary.

Lieut. Phillip V. Landale and a de-

on the island of Upolu, Samoa. Here
they were set upon by natives and
several of the force cut off from re-

Lansdale. Desperate attempts were
made to succor the little hand, but the
natives successfully repulsed the res
cutting party and at last all were cut
down but Monaghan and his superior
officer. Then Lansdale fell wounded,
and, though he might have prolonged
his life by a retreat, young Monaghan
elected to stand by his officer, and
died in the heroic performance of his
duty. His action was lauded by his
commander, Captain White of Phila-
delphia, aud mo4ument to his men,

thoroughfare of Spokane, was erected

in Wall street to the effect that a syn.
dicate was being organized to take

tion would involve nearly 100000, 900
of underwriting and would be one of
the greatest transfers of wealth in
the history of the contry-a veritable
financial abdication.
