Becker told him in talking about Ros.

had quarreled.
In his testimony Rose said the quar-.

which Becker was to receive % per
cent OF the proceeds of gambling
house, after taking $2500 mortgage
on Rosenthal's property.
After they fell out, Rose said

formed the illumination throughout
the house and on the lawns and piaz-

wiles of state for those of politest
gallantry. and statesmen forgot their
weighty burdens In order that they
might enjoy to the full some music.

EXCELLENT WAY
TO SET POSTS
Experaencs Teaches That It WaII
Last Much Longer With the
Small End Placed An
the Ground.

After many years experience have
concluded by placing the small end Of
the post in the ground. A post will
last much longer than with the large
end down. The reason for this Is OBJ
vious. When limbs are cut of 1t al
ways leaves cut that holds more or
less water and where worms have
worked the holes are always down
ward. These poles hold some mois-
ture. but by placing the top end down
this moisture runs out and leaves the
post dry.
At first thought II looks as though
the post with the large end up would
not make a good appearance. How

This box is made with only two sides

the ends OF the box we bore four
holes, near the outer edge, for the ad-

through the box from end to end and
made taut. The box is then laid on
its side, the open side up, and filled
with concrete: One part best Port

water to make quite wet. With a
trowel the upper surface Is smoothed

head imbedded in the concrete, and
the shank protruding an inch or more.
The bolts are four inches apart and
two inches from the top of the post.
One is two inches and the other six

screwed the cross-arms "a inches
