PUT GHOST ON DEFENSE
Irishman Was in Tight Place, but Not
Too Frightened to Be Ready
With Retort.

To illustrate the ever-ready wit Of
the Irish the following story was told
at a banquet held recently:
An Irishman on his way home at
night was in the habit of cutting
through a cemetery in order to short
en- the distance. A group of friends
evolved q scheme to have some fun
at his expense. Accordingly they
found a sunken grave across which
his path lay, dug 1t out and covered it
with boards in such a manner that he
must fall into the yawning cavity.
The 1rishman came along and e
erything happened as per schedule.
While he was still squirming about in
the bottom Of the hole, striving to ex.
tricate himself, three or foul Of his
friends, attired in white sheets and
other ghostly accouttements, sudden.
ly made their appearance. Pat was
frightened out of his wits and almost
tainted when one of them said:
What are you doing in my grave?'
The tone was sepulchral. 1t made
the lrishman's hair stand almost on
end, but he could not forego a witty
retort.
Faith, and what are you doing out
of ito he asked.

popularity known as 1.-The Church Of
Hidden Treasure" stands in this lit
tie town. During the Mexican war
many of the richest families in the
Observation-Disclosures gold and valu-
ables in all sorts of scurious places.
Senior Sandoval, a very rich land
owner, chose the thick walls Of the
village church as his treasure vault,
according to q writer in the Wide
World, and tradition says that the pre-
cious hoard has never been re-
!. Only a few years ago several groups
of men, armed with pickaxes, crow
bars and other: implements, ,besiegee
the place in search Of. the fabulous
wealth said to be concealed some
where on the premises. sThe treasure
is believed to be contained in a large
wooden chest, such as most Of the
wealthy Mexicans formerly possessed
1t is claimed that the box contained
thousands Of dollars: in gold, besides
/ emeralds, diamonds and pearls.
The Sandoval family; however, guard
the place most carefully, while they in;
turn are jealousy watched to see that
they do not disturb the church propers
ty. Bold and daring plans are some
times laid, but nothing seems to come

MERE GIRL IS RULER
Grand Duchess Marie Succeeds

Berlin.--By the death of William

bourg, the crown Of the little prin.
cipality passes to his eldest daughter,
the Grand Duchess Marie, a girl who
has not yet reached the eighteenth
anniversary of her birth.
This young girl may in the neal
future have to Wrestle with some very
complicated international problems OF
her childhood have been gloomy, and
1t cannot be said hat the outlook lie
very bright for Luxembourg as a ma.
ton.
For the last ten years the grand
duchess's father, Wilhelm Alexander,
had been an invalid. A few weeks
after his accession to the throne he
was stricken with %apoplexy. For five
years he had seldom been removed
from his bed and his wife, the Prin.
cess Maria Anna, Infanta Of Portugal,
and his daughters hardly ever left the
castle of Hohenberg in upper Bavaria,
where in the peace Of the mountains
and forests physicians were trying to
save him from his fate. In the city
of Luxembourg as we'll as in Berlin,
Munich and Vienna the grand duchess
and her children were strangers,
They could not with propriety attend
any social functions. The grand duke
too weak to be brought back to his
own country, found himself to all pur.
poses an exile in Bavaria. This is
why, except the fact that she is a
rather gifted musician, very little is
known concerning the personality OF
the young duchess.
For the first time in Its history
Luxembourg will have a ruler born
on its own soil. Grand Duchess Marie
was born in the capital on June IA
1894. One of the smallest %independ
ent nations In the world, Monaco alone
having a smaller area, Luxembourg
had always been ruled by foreign
princes.
Strangely enough the national an

the words, We'll always remain wha,

CEMENT FEED FLOORS BEST
More Expensive Than Others, But Pay
for Difference In conparatIve-
" Short Period.

The writer constructed q door 20x20
feet last September and has been u.s.
ing 1t almost constantly and with the
greatest satisfaction. Though 1t cost
about two weeks of hard labor and SIS
In cash I almost feel that l have q re-
turn for my outlay both In labor and
cash already, says q writer in an ex-
change. Am quite sure l have saved
SIS worth Of feed and believe the ex-
ira labor in carrying out corn, a
basket at a time, through the deep
mud to a dry muddy spot through
all that bad weather would have al
most equaled the labor of building the
floor. But more than this is the sat-
isfaction of feeding in this clean and
handy way, which can only be appre-
ciated by trying 1t.
Our floor was made right beside the
cribs, in what had been a hog wallow.
Stones were gathered from the fields
and laid in the bottom. These were
covered and leveled by smaller stones
and coarse gravel, then a thick layer
Of concrete (eight parts Of gravel to
n of cement), then the surface coat
Of four OF five parts Of coarse sand to
n part of cement, the concrete be-
ing forced to the bottom on all sides
to prevent rat invasion. After remov-
ing the board forms, posts were set
on three sides and the same wide
boards were nailed on the inside to the
posts, fitting down to the floor. Thus
Enclosed no feed is rooted off the floor,
and the cobs and other waste need not
be cleaned off so often. With bins on
one or more sides all cobs and manure
can easily be scooped into the same
and saved. The floor should be slight.
ly lower at one corner for drainage.
While constructing our floor posts
were set In the middle, so we could d.
vide It for pigs and hogs, which makes
1t very convenient, always having a
clean, dry, handy place to slop and
feed the pigs, and also a place to pen
them up quickly for any kind Of treat
