STRUCK BY LIGHTNING

As he stood at the corner of Dea-
cons livery barn ana gazed up and
down the streets and alleys at the
network of poles and wires with which
he is obstructing the highways of the
town, Henry Jay Holmes, once editor
of the Glenwood Avalanche, but re
Gently electrician of the hot air variety,
| stuck his thumbs in the armholes of
his vest and remarked that that ere
| (air) system was the best ever. To
hear him talk one would have thought
1t was right hot from the brain of
Edison and invented especially at
Holmes request for the express use
of the Mutual. In fact, he said it was
the very best that money could buy,
but failed to explain whether he had
reference to the kind of money with
which they paid the freight on the
poles or the bright, crisp banknotes
that Uncle Sam turns out.
Anyway Al Robertson came along
J''b 'o'ht bhlt'l lIiitN anu NIitn
asked him what he thought of his
plaything, Robertson suggested putting
boxes on the tops of the poles for the
martins to build their nests in as he
thought that would be a fitting emblem
for the scheme. He sad he thought the
town needed another light plant and
if some one would put in third one
he would patronize it, buc as for the
home plant it was 30 years behind the
times, the same as Holmes, or words
to that effect. Holmes called Robertson
the kind of thing Senator Dixon is
calling the Roosevelt opponents and
Robertson says also called him a cur,
wben-Biff! Bang! When Holmes
picked himself up he found that his
skypiece had been short circuited. bIt
Stetson would value at So, not count
ing wear and tear, no harm was done.
Holmes said he was sick, and the by
ISLANDERS, who thought he ought tJ
nave gotten sick little sooner, put a
stop to any further pugilistic exhibi
| tions.
The matter was explained to Police
| Magistrate Rice on Tuesday and Ro-
| berson was found guilty of assault and
| given a fine of $25 and costs. He ap.
| pealed the case to the county court
At the same sitting Holmes was tried
on charge preferred against him by
| Robertson alleging vile, profane and
abusive language calculated to pro
yoke disturbance. He was declared
| guilty and fined So and costs ana the
fine suspended.

HELPED OUT GREAT NOVELIST
Schoolgirl Friend of His Daughter Sup
piled Names for Thackeray's
Great Story.

A delightful Thackeray anecdote
(Which. SO far as one remembers, is
new) has turned up at the dinner of
the Colquhoun club. The guests in
cluded Philip Newman, who recount
ed that his wife when a girl happened
to go to the same school as the nov
elists daughters and afterwards kept
up an intimacy with the family
One day, when she was out for a
walk with Miss Thackeray, the latter
mentioned that her father had started
new story but was at loss to de-
eide upon the hero's name. The fu-
ture Mrs. Newman, with her fiance
in her thoughts, suggested that his
name, Philip" might serve the pur-
pose.
At that moment who should come
up unobserved behind the two girls
but Thackeray himself. Making his
presence known by laying hand on
shoulder of each of the young peo-
pie, he asked why they were 80 deep
in conversation. Thereupon Miss
Thackeray, turning around, revealed
the subject under discussion and told
him her friends suggestion as to the
hero's name.
Admirable" was Thackeray's ver-
dict. And now, my dear" he went
on, "what is your own name?" "Char-
lotte." We'll, that's a very nice name
too." was the response, and Thack-
cray wore look of satisfaction.
The result was the tale called "The
Adventures Of Philip" in which the
principal woman character figures a..

Emergencies are constant

What the Mosquito Costs.

The foremost authority on the mos
quito. Doctor Howard, of the depart
ment of agriculture has more than
once called attention to the enormous
money losses caused by mosquitoes. 1t
appears that the value of real estate
in regions infested by them is reduced
beyond calculation. The development
of one whole state-New Jersey--has
been held back by the pest
In several states lands eminently
fitted for grazing and dairying cannot
be effectively used for such purposes
because of the attacks of mosquitoes
on the cattle, thus reducing the yield
of milk. In the Vicinity of New York
and Philadelphia there are large areas
Of land rendered almost uninhabitable
by swarms of these insects. and this
notwithstanding the davances made in
the destruction of their breeding
places.
In some parts Of the northwestern
states horses must be covered in the

from the attacks Of mosquitoes. II

The famous Koeniglicher Marshall,

and more satisfactory than the special

The emperor has quite so chauffeurs.
When he goes to maneuvers their
lives become almost romantic. From
morning to night the chauffeur in

openings here and there showing the

For some reason, lime mortar. no
matter how carefully mixed or how

with our present knowledge of how to

Process Of Manufacturing "oId Shelf

UP to Date.

"Old Sheffield plate" is not manu-
featured in England at the present
time, at least not the real old article
in the real old way. The method for
merly used was to brace or weld a
thin sheet of silver on either side Of
thicker sheet Of copper, and then
70 roll this combined metal TO a sheet
OF the thickness required, which
would result in sheet of copper coat
ed on both sides with an actual sur
face Of silver.
The process Of eiectroplating is
much cheaper and quicker and has
superseded the old method to such an
extent that articles manufactured by
the old process would now cost quite
as much as the same articles in
sterling silver. In sope parts Of

or three years; but when you have the
whole outside surface to go over with
a paint brush, you hesitate until the
house looks positively shabby before
you decide to put up the necessary
money.
A square-built house is all right in
every respect, except that it looks
rathoe severe. With this plan, the
heavy front porch and the projection
in the rear relieve the plain box APP
pearance of the square corners aud
the square cottage-shaped roof, while
the proportions are such as to leave a
pleasing impression and the heavy
porch work suggests solidity.
There is one thing about a stucco-
finished porch that should never be
forgotten, and that is to make 1t
heavy and solid. You don't want any
thin, fiimsy-looking porch columns or
rails built in this way, for they are
sure to prove disappointing; and the
material is cheap enough to use in a
prodigal manner. You don't measure
it b. the square foot, and pay for 1t
at the rate of $40 or $50 per thousand;
but you just cart 1t to the job by the
wagon load, mix 1t up in quantity, and
spread it on until you get enough.
You don't feed the expense the same
when you do it yourself, although
builders declare they can build wood
en- house almost as cheap as one cover
ed with stucco. This is partly due to
custom. Carpenters can work to ad-
