"Big Business" Attacks T.. r..
Colonel Roosevelt's business pol

ii IL rather remarkable to see some
of the of big business in
terests' attacking him because, as they
say. he was too friendly to the trusts.
"A word more. / believe that the
business prosperity of this country
depends upon the success of the Re-

Of the heavy burdens which were press
ing upon us, but II suggested also that
there was mechanism strong enough, n
with power sufficient to all possible

OF the higher life must not be permitted
to anguish. The poetry OF truth should
touch with its g~laddening light the prose
of fact. Because OF this wholesome in
stInct we have graced our avenues with
scuIptured forms OF fair womanbood
symbolising our industries. Why not
hang hides, or wheels or beer bottles
M street corners and thus announce our
activities? Because these forms OF

those of his old-time friends who now

relation between the saloon and labor
should at once be dissolved.

other things more precious. Purity

IN HIS SERMON

Before a large congregation in the First
Congregational lube Memorial Church
last night, Rev. T. Arid Moffat preached
on the Industrial Exposition. Mr.. Mofat
took for his text "The City Lay -Four
square," and confined his remarks to
such basis principles as idealism, intelli-
gence, industry and integrity.
During his discourse he said:
The Bible begins with the story Of a
garden; 1t end with the vision OF a
city splendid. But between. there is
the record that Cain the murderer built
the first city, and that Jesus wept over
the great metropolis of Judah. The sug-
gestion, however. is, that that character

thetical In the real progress OF humanity,
and that the great Divine event toward
which the whole creation moves Is tho
City Glorious. This tides US over all

with death bedimmed eyes at a photo

Immense Deposits of Iron Ore Known

A latent power possessed by Bra

pears in the fact that within its bor-
ders there are deposits OF iron ore OF
immense size and best quality, ana
the next important step n its national

other nations. This fact is well APP
preciated by all who have visited Bra

The business prosperity OF the Uni

iron and steel trade. and it is fair to

This must be admitted when It is

a pAcNNo-cAsE DOLLHOUSE.

4 substantial appearing dog-house,
placed in a prominent part OF the
yard, will of itself furnish to a resi-
dence considerable protection from
thieves, inasmuch as the average thief
will much prefer to pass by that house
than to run the chances OF encounter
ing the dog, which he Will naturally
assume to be somewhere upon the
premises l do not mean to suggest
that you boys build a dog-house If you
do not own dog although this might
furnish a good excuse for getting a
dog later, but Ii you have a dog do
not fail to take advantage of this
means Of making known its presence
to all passersby.
The size of the house will depend
largely upon the breed of your dog,
but in any case it is better to get the
quarters too large than too cramped
for space. In the case Of pup, be
sure to provide for its full growth.
The house shown in Fig. l is "a
inches wide, "a inches high at the
lowest point, and AZ inches long, which
Is about right for a dog of medium
size. The easiest way to build it Is by
using a packing-case. One OF these
can usually be obtained at a shoe
store or drygoods store for Is or 80
cents. You can probably get one OF
very nearly the dimensions given
above, but If all you come across are
too large one way or another it will
not take long to cut one down.
The first step in the construction
of the house should be the cutting OF
the doorway. For a house OF t. , di-
mansions given, this will be about II
inches wide and 20 inches high. Mark
it out upon the end OF tho packing
case, with an arched top, as shown
Gig. %; then with your bit and bit
stock bore a series of holes close to-
gether aud just inside OF the line, and
with a compass saw or other small
saw connect the holes and saw out
the entire opening = wood file and
sandpaper may be used to finish off
the opening When the opening has
been cut, it will be necessary to bind
boards on each side of it with vertical
bsttens Place these upon the inside
(E, Fig. a. The end OF one or more
of the bottom boards will also have
to be connected to the boards adjoin-
ing by means of a batten fastened
across the under side.
The dog-house may have either a
peaked roof or a lean-to roof. The
latter is the better form If you fasten
the house against wall or fence, as
In Fig. l, which is good plan if you
place it to one side of the yard. A
well-msde packing-case is REINFORCED
at the ends with vertical battens, as
shown In Fig. 2, and for the purpose
Of extending these ends to meet the
