SHERMAN law
IN PACKERS CASE
Counsel Explains It's. AppIt-
cation in Governments
Closing Argument

CHICAGO. March 22-Closing argu
ment of the counsel to the jury II
the trial of the ten packers charged
with violation of the criminal sections
Of the Sherman Antitrust law was
begun to-day before Judge Carpenter
in the United States District Court.
It is expected that the arguments will
take week or ten days, after which
the case will be given to the jury.
James NJ. Sheean, special govern.
ment counsel, delivered the opening
argument. He began by enumerat-
ing three questions which he said the
jury should disregard in the considera-
ton of it's verdict. They were:
Whether it was wise for congress
to pass the Sherman law" The true
meaning of the Sherman law" and
'@The consequences to the defendants
in the event of verdict of guilty be-
ing returned
"These questions have nothing to
do with this case, and must be ignored

that they preferred it to restricted

political expedient. We are not here

"The courts will interpret the law.

 It appears that one day Lord Dun. erin visited 1t with his steward, one Mulligan, and that he drew a line with his walking-stick round 1t, at the same time instrscting the steward to Build protecting wall on that line. Then Dufferin went to the continent, feeling quite secure as to the preser- vation of the historic feature. Upon his return to Ireland he visited the es- tate. The castle was gone.

The Man wIth ths UmbreII..


 A sculptor's adventure during the taxi strike is told by a Paris contem- porary. The artist is renowned for his resourcefulness and his humor. Over. taken by a downpour of rain near din ner time. he took refuge in doorway.
 There was no taxi to be obtained. the flacres that passed were full, and there was no prospect of the rain abating. At the moment a gentleman passed, well dressed and carrying a large umbrella The, sculptor saw hia opportunity, shook hands with the stranger and installed himself under the umbrella. It was a coincidence that they should have met; he had been looking out for his acquaintance for the past fortnight. He talked in- cessantly about hypothetical family and other matters until they reached the studio.
 Then the sculptor discovered his mistake and apologized. The apology was accepted coldly, so the man with the umbrella was invited to inspect the studio. He declined and bade sau revoir." The sculptor entertained his family with the ruse. One member remarked that his tie was disordered. He put up his hand. His pin was missing. So were his watch and purse.

School Built by Boys.

In the city of San Francisco, 6 three-story and basement brick school building, modern and artistic and convenient in plan, is now nearing completion, which has been construct ed entirely by the hands of the pupils who are to occupy it. Every brick in the wall was put there by the hands of beardIess boys, the mortar which holds the bRick having been mixed by them. They also made the handsome supporting posts and cut the blanks of the stairways; put in woodwork and constructed and hung doors; saw ing and shaping every bit of wood which has gone into the structure They. even installed the plumbing casting the pipes in their own faund, ries, and shaped the metal in their own forge room. All the electrical ap pliances were installed by them and they planned the lighting and power systems. In short, from the concrete foundation to the roof. the building is in every part the work of boy SH dents, done in class room, according to their own plans and specifications The boys are the pupils of the VII uerding School of Industrial Arts.

MIRACLE OF SLUMBER

American Nervousness, So Prevalent . Complaint, Is Charged to the Habit of Doing Without Suff7-
 elent Natural Rest.

The railroad man who had been 36
 hours without sleep was good natured Ibout it, though it was evident that he was verging on a nervous condition that might well render him incompe- tent. There is an occasional person who can dispense with sleep in an astonishing manner, the New York Mail observes. Yet 1t is not certain that such persons really do escape the penalty. It has been asserted that NApoleon's later failures of judgment were the result of an unnerving that followed his earlier -four hours enough" sleep, which he boasted and practiced.
 It is being said by medical observ- CTS that the American nervousness" Is not a little attributable to the so- sial day demand, the hours after busi- ness, directly cut down from the sleep segment of the 24 hour day. It is probably true that no other country is 50 exacting on the full business day. That we insist on. It must begin promptly and early. But the social demand is quite as imperative. Shall not man go out with his wife in the evening, after she had been left alone ll day?
 She is quite ready. She took nap lfter lunch, at the very hour he was busiest downtown. The church is run by the evening meetings. So is poll tics. And it may be said that we spend Dur money mostly in the evening, ex- sept what the women spend in the shops. Can man take time for sleep When he is spending his money? No more than when he is earning 1t The result Is that there is always lack of Sleep.
 There is no medicine like sleep. There is such a miracle wrought by sleep, changing our fears into hopes, pur despondency into courage, our thickheadednes into clear vision, that t is shameful to put sleep aside.

LIndau and the Kaiser.

Paul Lindau. in the Memories of My Life, relates that after the per formance of his Countess Leahr' in Berlin, the old Emperor William, who had been present at the play, sent for him to congratulate him upon his fine work and the favor it had won.
 "Only," he added, as if casually, and without the least emphasis, cit Is a pity that the titled officers do net play 8 very brilliant part in it."
 When the emperor had dismissed Lindau. with gracious nod, the man. ager, de Hulsen, came to the author, and said:
 'I am sorry that I can no longer produce your piece. It promised tc have g long run"
 'But why" asked the astounded author; ''the emperor paid me very hattering compliments and appeared to be much pleased with the piece"
 "Ah! but my dear doctor" replied the courier. This majesty never e1 presses his censure more strongiy.- From the Bookman.

FROM THOSE THAT KNEW HER
Mrs. MuIeahey Had References That Could Leave No Doubt as to
 Their Genulneness.

Bridget had successfully measured up to all the other theoretical require ments of Mrs. Honeymoon, and that engaging her as cook and general houseworker, when the thought of the woman's references flashed across the young housekeeper's mind.
 'T like your looks," she said, "and everything you say about your abili- ties, Bridget, fits in with the exact requirements of MT. Honeymoon and myself. The wages you ask seem reasonable, and we are perfectly will ing to pay them, but, of course, must have something in the nature of a reference before finally deciding. suppose you have something of that Hnd?"
 "Oh, yis, num-" replied the candf date; "sure and Oi wouldn't t'ink of ashkin' anybody to taak me witout me riferince."
 She dived deep down into the pock- ct of her dress, and after consider able fumbling about therein managed to fish up a much-worn old envelope, from which she extracted a piece of paper. This she handed to Mrs. Honeymoon.
 With some difficulty Mrs. Honey moon deciphered the slightly scrawIy epistle to whom 1t might concern. as follows:
 'This Is too sertify that bridget Mulcahey has served us The under signed as Cook and gineril1 howse- worker for the last tree year, and We hay fownd her always kind and obliging, sobber, onnest, and inndus- trous. we chearfully recommend her to annybuddy wanting sutch a person around as she is.
 (Signed) mora Mulcahey,
 "Anny mulcaHey,
 ''pattsey muLcahey."
 Mrs. Honeymoon coughed slightly as she finished reading this document. Well" she said, a trifle embar. rassed, "that certainly is a good ref. erence, but I-I don't know who these people are who signed it."
 ''Oh, they're arl roight," smiled Mrs. Mulcahey. They're me own childer, mum. Ut's them Oi do bin worrukin for ivver since we landed from tn ouId counthry."

addition to the $500 voted by the town
doubled by the county and state, with
labor donated by the farmers, will ex-
coed $50 1000. All of this work will be
placed outside the city limits and the

MIXING CONCRETE
Timely Advice to Farmers and to
Home Owners.

At this time of the year when so
many farmers and home owners are
using concrete, professional advice as
to the mixture which produces the
best results is a matter of general In
terest.
Richard Hamer, Milaca, Mimi, rails
es this question with reference to
we'll curbing and has received the fol-
lowing response from the Editor Gee
ment User" 1905 Stock Exchange
building, Chicago:
"In general, we do not approve Of
concrete that is mixed too dry; how
ever, it is possible in the case which
you have mentioned that the blocks
are good enough for the purpose.
With a concrete, which is mixed rather
dry the quality depends much on the
method of curing. If you will insist
that the blocks which you buy be
made under the following conditions,
we are sure that you will obtain a
good product 1t is very probable that
the manufacturer is now making them
in this manner.
1.-THE concrete should be mixed as
moist as possible but not so wet but
that the forms can be removed imme-
diately after the concrete is well
tamped into the molds. Such a con-
crete we'll tamped into place will leave
hair-like markings of moisture on the
mold when the mold is removed from
the block. AS soon thereafter as the
concrete will stand it, the block should
be sprinkled with water, Likewise,
it shoud be sprinkled thereafter every
day for at least three days. During
the time it should not be exposed to
hot sunshine and wind
For a we'll curb, you will under
stand such a strong concrete is not
needed as under some other condi-
tions. If the blocks at the age Of one
month are sufficiently strong to with
stand ordinary handling, they will do
very we'll as curbing."

SILO OF CONCRETE BLOCKS
Reinforcement Required.

A question of considerable interest
to farmers in this community who
have already built or who intend build
ing a Silo of concrete blocks has been
answered by the Editor Cement
User" 1905 Stock Exchange building.
Chicago, in a letter to ]. B. Hawley of
Mattison, colo.
The matter of reinforcing concrete
block silos vertically does present
some difficulties. II the blocks are so
laid that hollow space will extend
from the ground to the roof. this can
be accomplished by placing steel rod
against the outside wall OF the block
and filling this hollow space continu-
ously with mortar as the silo is built
from the ground to the top of the silo
We do not know of any other way of
reinforcing vertically. Particular at
tention should be given to the hori-
zontal reinforcement in block silos.
The blocks should be made so as to
have n groove in the top face deep
enough to accommodate a reinforcing
rod. These grooves are generally put
hUOul All lhNll anu u W lNo iHSh6S
from the outside of the block. Dur
ing the construction OF the silo, the
rod is placed in this groove at the
same time as the mortar joint is laid.
For block silos, separate doors at
intervals are better than continuous
doors. BY building a reinforced con-
crete beam over each door opening,
the strength of the silo will be great
" increased as the horizontal rein
forcing hooked together where il laps.
forms one continuous ring extending
entirely around the silo. Alongside OF
the door openings, these horizontal
rods should be securely fastened TO

CEMENT STUCC0
Fur the Lath.

The problem of plastering the out
side of house, is different from
that of the inside, owing to the
greater variation in temperature and
to obtain a satisfactory job, the lath
must be furred and in this way, secure
a good clinch.
Hemlock lath is equally as good for
stuceo purposes as pine, provided it
is dipped in a bitumen paint. When
this precaution is not taken. the lath
absorbs moisture, thus causing expan-
sion and contraction which of course
tends to crack the plaster.

CONCRETE HEN HOUSE
Reply to Bert MeTagsart Of Pawnes,
ill.,, for Construction Of Same.

In regard to whether a concrete wall
for a poultry house will be damp or
not. writes the Editor Cement User"
1908 Stock Exchange building, Chica-
go, In our experience we have found
such walls to be dry. In fact, well
made concrete is never damp. Con-
crete is waterproof, and sometimes
where building is poorly ventilated
moisture from the air within CON.
denses on the inside face of the wall.
This is the fault of the ventilation.
Concrete does not absorb the moisture
the same as a wooden wall would I'M
der like circumstances. However, this
will not in the least trouble you in your
hen house since modern hen house
construction calls for the admission of
an abundance of fresh air by means
of muslin curtains or some other de-
vice.
Heavy woven wire fencing will be
very good reinforcing for inch
concrete wall which is sufficiently
heavy for a poultry house. Be sure
that the foundation wall for this hen

3 feet SO as to bring it below
the usual frost line. At the bottom
have the foundation wall 10 inches
wide and 6 inches thick. Above this
point S inch thickness will do. A
wall 80 feet long can be built as one
continuous wall If you so desire. In
such a case, we would advise that in
stead of using woven wire fencing for
reinforcing that you substitute y inch
round steel rods spaced on IS inch
centers In both directions; that is,
criss cross or checker board plan. If
you prefer you can build the wall in
shorter sections and to the full height
so as to make each section equal to
the amount of concrete which you can
place in a day. In such a case, bring
each section to an abrupt and vertical
end and by the use of a wedgeshaped
board mold a groove in the vertical
end Of the finished section SO that the
following section of concrete may be
keyed into the previous one. Likewise
the reinforcing rods should protect
over one section into the next.
