u. S. Army Officers Start Moro PAPER

CT. LOUIS.-From Zamboanga and
- the domain Of the sultan of Sulu, in
the Philippines. come tidings of the
first newspaper ever published in a
Moro language. Furthermore, it is
unique in that it is a government own
ed and operated newspaper, and among
it's contributors and supporters are
the military authorities of the Moro
province.
Prominent among the latter is Capt.
William Reed, United States cavalry,
who is governor of Sulu and chief of
staff of Gen. John J.. Pershing, mill
tary governor of the Province OF
Moro.
Capt. Reed was a favorite in soci-
ETY. here in the gay days of 1904. and
many of his friends here will find it
Cliff cult to picture him as helping mold
public opinion among the little brown
men in the island of his polygamistic
majesty, the sultan of Sulu.

newspaper man is well remembered

Train Stops When Monkey Pulls Rope

questioned in person, but no one ad-
mitted responsibility.
The train started ahead and was
rapidly making up lost time, when for
a second time the train stopped, the
engineer again declaring that he had
received a signal to stop the train.
Again the trainmen denied having
sent a message along the bellrope and
made a round Of inquiry among the
passengers.
The trainmen were certain that they
had been hoodooed, and some of them
declared they would leave the train
unless the mysterious spook mate
ria ,izations were stopped.
Then when a few minutes later the
train was stopped for a third time,
trainmen and passengers were indig-
nant. This time they declared that
they would find the culprit whoever
he might be, and prosecute him as
we'll. They then began a systematic
search all through the train, not spar
ing even those in the Pullman car.
A few minutes later they discovered
the source OF all their trouble in a
very unspook-like masquerade. 1t was
a monkey. His m~onkeyship was con-
tentedly pulling the bellrope, which
hung very close. The animal was the
property of ]. F. Pickering of this city,
and he was advised to cage the mon
key, which he did without further de-
lay, and the train moved on.

Mr.. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject Of building, for the readers of this
paper. On account of his wide experience
as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he
is. without doubt, the highest authority
on all these subjects. Address all inquiries
to William A. Radford, No. 178 West
Jackson boulevard, Chicago, Ill, and only
enclose two-cent stamp for reply.
One of the most economical six
room cottages ever built is represent
ed in this design. 1t is 20 feet in
width by SO feet in length, with both
porches built into the main frame.
The layout of the rooms is we'll liked
by most people; in fact, it is a very
popular house, both for looks and for
convenience, besides making a very
cozy, comfortable home at a moderate
cost.
On the first floor we have a good
living room, IL feet square, and a
splendid dining room several feet
larger. The living room is entirely
shut off from the other part of the
house-which is considered a great
advantage by some housekeepers.
Economy also is adhered to in build
ing the stair. The cheapest way to
get upstairs is to build the steps be-
tween two partitions; and it is a very
satisfactory arrangement, too, espe-
cially where you can have. a window
at bottom and another at the top for
light, as we have in this case.
1t will be noticed that economy is
the prevailing idea all through the
house-not parsimony, but pure, sim
pie, straightforward economy. In the
first place it is a straight-sided. right
Rngled plan, high enough at the side
for the first story only, the upper
rooms being made entirely in the
roof. Of course the curb in the roof
Is necessary; in fact, that is the prin-
cipal difference in the outside dimen-
sions from the ordinary cottage roof.

In Boys Attire, Bushes Betray Her

rHICAGO.-Two tiny tears chasing
" themselves over her freckled
cheeks and a timid blush which crept
after them, brought the career of
Jack Wilson to an ignominious end
the other day in the South Clark street
police station, where she had been
taken by the police as a runaway.
The night before Jack" now self
admitted to be Sarah Wilson, 15-year-
old daughter of a wealthy st. Joseph
NMo.) ranchman, tearfully told of her
attempted PRESERVATION of a boy; how
she had her hair cut short and how
she smoked a pipe, even though it
made her sick.
The bluecoats at the station rue
ully admitted that Jack" put it over
on them and but for the tears and
blush they would never have suspect
ed the sex of their little prisoner.
With a pipe and tobacco in her trous-
ers pocket, Jack was found at the
Northwestern station. She was taken
to the South Clark street station.
There she calmly pulled out her pipe,
filled it with apparent skill, and light
ed it.
Then while the admiring officers lis
tened she told them of her trip. But
one policeman sneered at her and the
telltale tears and blush betrayed her.
A moment later she was s%obbingly ad-
hitting she was a girl.
B%lushing as scarlet as did their lit
tie prisoner, the officers turned her
The Penn's Grove record., 1912-05-17

Tor anything but an attic without the
curb or gambrel In the roof.
The prevailing fashion at present is
to have plenty Of windows, and it is
a good fashion. Nothing adds more
to the comfort of a house than to have
plenty of light. In the living room
there are two windows On the side,
and a triple window, On the easement
order, in front-equivalent to almost
FIVE windows in this one room. Still,
it is not too much; it simply helps to
make a pleasant, well-lighted, airy.
and comfortable front room that any
woman would be pleased with. The
two high windows in the hall are built
high up, to be out of the way for a
hall rack.
In a small house like this, you want
to utilize every corner and take ad
vantage of every opportunity to ado
to it's capacity. The hall is not only
an entrance, but it may be used to
advantage as a telephone booth, and
