WANTS TO

Philadelphia, July SACK McGui-
gan, local boxing promoter, yesterday
wired an offer of $4,000 to Willie
Richie, light weight champion, to box
Jack Britton of Chicago a six-round
no-decision bout at a baseball park
here on Labor Day. 1t is not likely
that Richie will accept, as he expects
to be matched with either Leach Cross
or Freddie Welsh In California on that
date.

Proper Care of Animals and Floor.
Regardless of the material used for
the floor, a certain amount Of COVERING

for poultry, sheep and hogs. Floors
of poultry houses should he covered
with q layer of sand or litter. The
floor OF the sleeping quarters OF a
hog house should be provided with a

which must be- we'll supplied with
bedding of straw or litter Likewise
the floor of sheep sheds should be
Kept bsedded especially during the
lambing season.
Concrete floors are the cheapest as
they have to be repaired or re-
placed. Moreover, they can be flushed

How 1t Was Done.

E~verybody's: The favorite game of
the southern negro is shooting craps
A negro will shoot" away anything
from the clothes on his back to the
meal on his table, but Shooting, for
prospects is a new phase.
A capitalist was the guest of a
southern hotel, and the first night he
gave his waiter a SO cent tip. At break.
fast the waiter could not do enough
for him and he tipped him another so
cents. At lunch he had a new waiter.
The capitalist said nothing, but when
the same new waiter served him at
dinner that evening, he asked:
Sam, where's the boy I had yester-..
day?"
Sam hung his head. He amt at dis
table no mo-, boss"
II know that, but why was he NOV

Sam looked frightened. but he stood
his ground. 1T was like dis, boss.

Makes Business Men Blush.

Springfield Republican: Cheap
skate is a bit of current slang which
serve to describe Martin M. Mulhall,
chosen aEen. eff the NationsI Associa-
tion OF Manufacturers, who has been
so long In evidence before the senate
lobby investigating committee In
Washington. He wrote to his employ
ers Of seeing this public man and that
one, telling daily If not hourly of the
prodigious influence he was exercising
in shaping public affairs in the way
those who hired him would like to
have them g o 1T Is the shame Of those
who paid MulhaIl his salary that they
were SO easily imposed upon. Their
credulity invited the imposition which
1T produced--and how attenuated the
thread OF fact that ran through Null
halls big stories, all can see. It is d
pitiable exhibition. Business men OF
sense relied upon the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers and are
lesTning with anazement of the fool
iahness that Yves perpetrated iii their
naaae.

TIPPING AND GRAFT.

Kansas City Journal: But tipping
of hotel employees is not the only feat
ure Of the American system of estab-
lished graft. Thousands of others
profit by the vulnerability Of defense
less citizens.
Hucksters frequently cheat with
short measures and weights or inferi-
or wares. Grocers are not always
above oVercharging whenever the OPP
%portunity offers. The men who leaves
the ice is often forced to give short
weight because he Is charged up with
SO many tons of ice which melts i'm the
process Of delivery. The gas and cleo
trio light companies charge a penalty
of 10 per cent on their bills lie not paid
on a date arbitrarily set by the COM
panies themselves.
The boy who delivers a package
waits for his tip. In some respects orr
system of small CRAFTS OF which tip
ping lis only a part is worse than In
Europe. For In Europe the grafters,
though many and insistent, are con-
tent with coppers Instead of dimes and
quarters.
Tic the st. Louis bill becomes a law,
and il that law can be enforced, lit may
prove more of a. blessing than most OF
the reform measures connected BY
Would-be statesmen. While 1T will nor
all the ills of extortion even local
Isl, 1t MAY prove to be the entering
wedge OF a general movement.

day night, however, while we were
eating supper l had a bunch, and
told Earl that we would Immediately
bring over as much of the silver rs
we could to the house. 1 got over
about 81, 900 worth and had to leave
rich ore and concentrates-bulky stuff
and. some cleaned silver in the sill
yer office.
The Attack.
About 1 o'clock in the morning the
attack came. The Waterman in the
patio fired and ran and the others
fired and shouted. We heard them
break down the doors of the silver
room, but waited for them to attack
the house when they found the con-
centrated values gone. They did not
do this, so we did not fire a shot.
They got about $4,000 worth of stuff,
but | saved some 100000 from them.
These soldiers Immediately took the
road out Of B%atopilas and the other
gang came in the next morning. Then
the other gang left, and the. thieves
are back with reinforcements. They
now number about seventy-fve.
Ready for Trouble.
OF course if they had attacked we
should very probably have been
killed, but we should have gotten a
few of them and could have done so
as 1t was. We could see them fitting
around in the dark and had some Of
them covered, but were saving our
ammunition until they attacked the
house as we have a very scant sup
ply. Then Dolezal has been abso-
lutely helpless in bed for the last two
months and we had to look after him,
put him on mattresses so that If they
shot up through the floors he would
have some protection. OF course if
they had gotten in they would have
killed him also. - ga.
Waterman Wounded. .
When things got quiet we de-
scended very cautiously to the patio
and found n Waterman hiding in
the charcoal ROOM. The other n
did not show up until daylight as
he was hiding in the brush. He heard
us, but as 1t was still dark, did not
know whether the robbers were, still
there or not. He had two slight
wounds, the end of one finger and a
slight wound on one leg. At present
We are kept busy watching and the
mine Is nearly closed down. It Is
hard to say what the outcome will
be as we have information from
Chihuahua tina we can expect no
federals in here. They are busy in
other parts of the country.

Dolezal out and Earl with him very
shortly. Dolezal is very likely to die
here and may die on the trail, but it is
very difficult to give him proper treat
ment here and I must try to get him
to a hospital. 1t will be something of
an undertaking to get him over that
long trail as ne will have to be carried
in a litter and every little movement
gives him pain.
Future Looks Bad.
Well, I guess we will come through
all right as We have in the past, but
things certainly have gone the limit
now. The other company keeps fifteen
to twenty guards on the lookout every
night, but all of these, with the excep-
ton. of the Americans, would probably
turn over if it came to a scrap, and
join with the raiders, so I do not be-
lieve it does them much good to keep
these men on guard. Of course there
are probably two or three who might
prove loyal. l have seen too much of
this country, however, TO trust any Of
them to any great extent.
You might send this letter on when
o finish with 1t to the other mem
bers of the family, as 1 am busy get
ting off letters while I have the chance
to send them out with his man. I
suppose they will go through from
Chihuahua without trouble.

N. D. MAN GUARDS
MEXICAN TREASURE
FRANK SMITH OF GRAND FORKS
TELLS OF EXCITING EXPERT
ENCES IN THE LAND OF THE
GREASERS - VALUABLE ORE
SAVED FROM THIEVES.

Grand Forks Herald The following
month to reach Grand Forks relatives
of Frank G.. D. Smith, was received
yesterday, giving a graphic account of
the experiences of the silver mining
engineer and manager in his work Of
guarding the treasure of his company
in turbulent Mexico.
Mr.. Smith has been engaged in the
silver mining business in Mexico for
nine years and is manager of one of
the big and paying mines in Batopilas.
He is a son of w. G.. Smith of this
city and brother Of Reg Smith of
Smith & MonIey, electrical supplies, to
whom the letter was written. His
younger brother, Earl, was his partner
in the exciting experiences related and
the man Dolezal, referred to in the let
TT, is from Milwaukee, Wis.
Batopilas, Chihuahua, Mexico, June
i. 1913.
This Is just a little note for the fam
lily, as a man leaves here today for
Chihuahua and I can send it with him
that far. Our mails are shut off en-
tirely and have been for some time.
The night of the oath this place was
attacked by the soldiers who were
leaving on account Of having heard
that an opposing gang was coming in.
We had heard about ten days before
that we were going to be held up, and
were notified that the holdup was
coming off the previous Wednesday
night. That night Earl and I slept
over h silver office, or rather watched
most Of the night. At $3.50 in the
morning eight soldiers armed with
Mausers arrived at the corral, but as
they could not see us in the moon
light, and knew we were ready for
them, they did not attack, although it
wa all set for that night. =. -
The following two nights we
watched the same place. On Satur-

Planning and Laying Out Floor.
The first stepsin building the ioor is
to remove5all manure and other foreign
matter and then to grade the surface
of the ground. If needed, lay all wa
ter pipes and drains necessary for
keeping the ground dry, for carrying
off Waste-Water and for conducting
the liquids to the MANURE pit. Such
earth filling as may be necessary must
be dampened and thoroughly tamped.
This work should be done as long as
possible before building the floor. Keep
the concrete from direct contact with
face of the l~eveled-off ground with six
to- eight inches of coarse crushed rock
or screened gravel.
For grading the surface of the floors
use a carpenters spirit level Cor a wa
ter leWel5 and chalk line. IA four inch
thickness of concrete is sufficient. Slope
floor. one-eighth inch per foot in
such direction that the rain or scrub
water will cause the least inconye11i-
ence. For poultry houses this will
usually be toWardtthe door; for sheep
sheds and hog houses, away from the
animals bed and In the direction OF
the cutters.
Z Mixing and Laying the Concrete.
THE usual proportions Of concrete
for such floors are 4 cubic foot of
Portland i4nsilt TIC ~ cubic feet "
sand to s cubic feet OF crushed rock or
screened gravel, or N part Of cement
TO five parts of hank-run gravel. These
materials are measured on the. basis
that one bag ofScerlent (Ioose) equals
a cubic foot. Mix them Thoroughly on
a tight wooden platform (never on the
5groundl and use enough water to
make the concrete stquaky,a.
Lay the floor In al anre similar to
sidewalk construction. If the sand and
rock are f~rst-class la quality, no fin
sishing mortar lis required. Such NOR.
tar lis generally mixed one part cement
no tive parts SAND and Ia applied l1'
