Same Thing.

In the early days Of Arizona, an ell

presiding at the trial of a murder case
An aged negro had been ruthlcssly
killed, and the only eye witness to the
murder was a very small negro boy
When he was called to give his testi

Plant That Catches Its Food.

The common bladderwort, an
aquatic plant, not only defends itself
against insects and animals. but
catches worms and fish for It's food.
As it floats underneath the surface OF
the water its leafy branches spread
out in all directions Its leaves are
covered with little oval bladders filled
with air, and at one end OF each blad.

PLASTERlNG-The wall of tho
silo is plastered to a depth OF about
one inch tabout one-half inch over the

made from three parts OF sharp, clean,
coarse sand or finely crushed stone
and one part OF Portland cement. The
mortar should be about as thick as
that ordinarily used in plastoring a
house.
DOORS.-Four doors are sufficient
for 30-toot silo, and five are enough
for 36.foot silo. Ordinarily the bot
tom Of the fret door will come about
two and half feet above the sill
The doors are two and a half feet
high and four feet is allowed between
doors.

Probably the best type of the cheap

which make 1t compare fayorahly in
many localities with the concrete sllo.

Cost OF GurIer Slo.
The Gurler silo is especially adapt
ed to those parts OF Missouri where
there is still local supply of native
lumber, which furnishes cheap
building material The cost ranges
from Sl,75 TO 81 per ton capacity. A
l00.tOn silo will cost in the neirhbor-
hood of 5000 The dimensions Of a
1OO.ton silo are approximately 80 feet
high by IA feet across.
Method Of Construction.
The foundation of the silo is made
OF concrete. In building this pit is
dug two or three feet deep and a
concrete wall is made in this to ex-
tend foot above the ground. Blocks
of two-by.fours are laid around on top
before the concrete has set with
large spikes running into the con
crete. This forms a solid sill and
helps to anchor the silo.
The studdngs are made OF two
lengths of two-by.four lumber spiked
together at the middle. and are erect
ed two feet apart. If the diameter
and height OF the silo are more than
about 1G feet by 30 feet, it is advisa.
BILE to either use two.by.six lumber or
set the studding only is inches apart.
Two pieces of two-by.four lumber
spiked together TO make four.by.four
is used as a center pole to tie the
studd.ng TO while they are being set
up. Each separate stud is toe-nailed
to the center Of section of the sill
in the concrete foundation. Only the
lower half of the studding is put up
first. The second piece is spiked on
after the lower half OF che silo is
nearly complete and needs no bracing.

AND so THEY WERE MARRIED.

Not many weddings in the history of
the American nation have evoked so
much interest of a wholly pleaSureable
sort as that of Helen Gould and Finley
J. Shepard. In a day when almost any
rich person is apt to be called a male
factor of great wealth." when the sins
of high society are denounced every
where, it is pleasing to note that this
particular wedding has been received
with satisfaction everywhere.
Whatever devious methods may have
been employed to secure the great for
tune, a portion Of which the bride Of
yesterday owns it is certain that she has
employed her share Of it in many ways
for the betterment of conditions among
the less favored. Miss Gould never
sought to shine in society, she never has
been guilty of Ostentations, has even
been criticised for the quiet life she has
led. But her heart and head seem to
have been attuned in the right direction.
If there were more wealthy persons
who used their stewardship for such
good purposes we should have been
spared a good many unpleasant things
in our history, and the social war Of re-
cent years would have been avoided.
That Miss Gould should have given
her heart and hand to a young man Of
no fortune, the son of Il poor clergyman,
that she should have filled her ideal of
true manhood is a gratifying circum-
1t remains only to express the
hope that this mating in years of ma
may still provide all the romance
Of youth. and that it may be sealed and
Endorsed by a long career of happy
welded life. -Philadelphia Inquirer.

CONTINUITY IN ADVERTISING

The merchant who places advertising
in only q few newspaper issues is some
times disappointed that large results do
not Immediately follow.
Modern life is crowded with interests,
people live in a hurried way, and public
attention is tickle. Let the advertiser
consult the new science Of craftsmanship
and business psychology. He will be
told that nothing affects the mind like
repetition. Constant dropping wears
away the stone that is not affected by
the single hard shower.
If a man Of striking appearance
passes by your place only at long in
~tervals, you would scarcely recollect his
features from time to time. If a per
son Of ordinary appearance passes
regularly for a short time. his face be
comes firmly fixed in your mind.
The merchant who Will advertise reg
ularIy even if only in a small space will
be surprised to see how the public will
look for him in his regular position and
be disappointed if he fails to appear.
The familiar name in the business
news is greeted with as much pleasure
as the familiar face hat YOU meet on
the street. Once interest is created by .
mans method Of advertising, readers
Will turn TO it as to a serial story.
