room are of large size and open to-

The kitchen is well away from the
rest of the house. being separated
from the dining room by the pantry,

to be very satisfactory. There are
two good sized bedrooms very well
placed. The bathroom is convenient

The attic space in this cottage is
valuable for storage purposes and

keep the first story cool during the hot
summer weather. The exterior is sid

struction. Altogether this is an ex-

Peter Battinell, thirteen years old
of Stamford, Conn, owns a dog, OF
which he is very fond. Peters par.
ents neglected to license the animal
and it fell in the hands Of the dog
warden. who impounded it. When
Peter learned that his dog was in

tearfully begged that The dog be not
killed.
I'll earn the money to pay for the

The dog warden told the boy to GO
ahead and earn the money, and a few
days later he appeared with the 81
and received a license. He took the
dog away with him. He had earned
the money by doing errands and
moving lawns.

But the want of money is secondary.
The matter of primary Importance is
that people should have right ideas as
to what constitutes good architecture
and sound building, and should insist
whenever they cause buildings to be
put up upon having only those which
are both well designed and well built.
Good building, the first essential,
and here, no doubt, is a point of dan
ger. The popularizing of architec-
ture is a good thing so long as the de-
mand is for good architecture. A great
uninstructed public demanding
quaint" houses and picturesque"
bungalows would get what it wants,
but the result is not likely to make
for real progress in architecture, or
for healthy conditions in the building
trade.

Mexico, in fear of insurrectos, forbade

1t is not strange that San Pedro
should harbor so much game, for it
is the only really wooded mountain
on the peninsula, and the timber here
is very fine. Deer and bighorn are
not the only game; other animals
there are, not so harmless. and that
may even play the roll of hunter in

Raging Torrents.
On the eastern side there are
streams that start bravely from the
mountain, but they are Immediately
sucked up by the sands of the desert.
Canyon Diablo is an excellent example
OF this; in the time of rains the water
rushes from the mouth of the ex.
tremely narrow, rocky canyon, which
is a mere slit in the mountain wall,
in a tumultuous flood. 1t entirely fills
the narrow opening so that the can
yon cannot be assembled beyond it's
mouth, and it cannot be crossed, such
a raging torrent is 1t. Yet in less
than a mile it has disappeared, and
not only is there no stream, but the
rounded arroyo sides are of smooth
sand as though years had passed since
water flowed between them. Many
streams of abundant flow start out in
this way, but all promptly disappear.
And as the mountain acts as a barrier
to check the rains that come In from
the Pacific, the strip of land between
San Pedro and the Gulf of California
remains absolute desert.
On the western slope, however, the
streams flow with greater assurance.
One Of them is turned from it's chan

of the mountain for twenty miles to
wash the gold from the soil of Socor-

San Antonio creek is a fairly typical

Judge r J. Marshall: Would it paw

breeders Of pure bred poultry to or

Answer: Immediate returns in the
shape Of receipt from the showroom
could not be counted upon, although
Il is not entirely out Of the question
Old breeders and those who have had
experience in the showroom matters
feel that they have been quite sue
Cessful in holding a local show as
above indicated If they can pay small
premiums, pay hall rent, pay the
Judge and come out without being in
debt. In fact. many go as far as to
agree to give $40 each to meet any
deficiency that might arise, and feel
that they have made a good invest
ment if it does not cost them more
than that amount. The question very
naturally arises: Where does the
profit come in? The breeders of ex-
perienCe have found that there is no
better way to advertise and reach the
buyer direct than by these local
shows. He also makes a record that
he can place in his advertisement in
the papers (where the wise breeders
keep one at all times) that will insure
confidence in prospective buyers suf-
fiCient to pay for all the trouble and
expense incurred by the venture. l
say by all means get your fanCiers
together and hold the best show you
can. Let every one know about il
for miles around. Charge but a small
admission and get everybody posi-
BILE to see the exhibit Appoint a re-
Ception committee to show the Wis
itors around and explain the different
kinds Of fowls to them, the good
points of each and why pure bred
poultry will pay them so much better
than "dunghills." The chances are
that the next year you will have a
much larger exhibit at less expense
in proportion. Six or eight good work
ing, wide-awake breeders can hold
a show better than rs careless ones
each of whom expects TO have some
one else to do the work The poul-
try business is in such a healthy
state in this country that there is but
little risk in attempting any sort of
practical enterprise connected with
the business. Hold good local shows,
advertise judiciously and success is
sure to come.

Of Pure Poultry to Have

Judge MARSHALL would be
pleased to have you give some infor-

Reply.-The Blue A7dalusian Is a
hrSt-class chicken in many ways. In
Characteristic shape, pose and kind of
comb, wattles and ear lobes il is very
much like the Leghorns II is a lit
tie larger and is subject to a weight

standard weight Is: Cocks, 8 pounds:

and pullets, 4 pounds. This breed has
the distinction Of wearing the nation

lobes are white and plumage blue. II
Is one Of the old fashioned breeds and
was known in England as early as
the eighteenth century, but is of more
recent Importation into this country.
The flesh Is white, as Is the case with
most fowls Of English origin. They

in size, color and shape 1t is a fowl

upon the head with FIVE points even

a comb Of the same shape, but much
smaller and firmer in texture, turn

standing up slightly at the front. The
ear lobes should be pure white and
free from wrinkles. Any red appear

the value Of the specimen for show

amount Of red. More than half red

tail. The tail OF the female is large
and well spread, carried at about As

EMILIO MADERO SLAIN;
THIRD OF BROTHERS
KILLED WITHIN
WEEK.

Latest Member of Family to Die is Shot
Near Monterey, According to Re-
ports at Mexico City.
Mexico City, Mexico, Feb. -25.
Emilio Mad r., brother of the for
mer President Madero, slain Satur-
day night, has been shot and killed,
north of Monterey, according to reli-
able information received here.
With the death of Emilio, three
brothers of the Madero family have
been slain within the last week. Gus
tavo, former Minister of Finance,
was shot last Wednesday morning
under the Fugitive law" Francis
co was killed in an attempt to rescue
him and former Vice President
Suarez Saturday midnight.
With an escort of thirty-five men
Madero, it is said, was attempting Ito
join the rebels holding Laredo, when
he was overtaken by troops sent by
Gen. Trevino. The reports do not
indicate whether Madero was killed
in action or was executed.
Planned Counter Revolution.
The shooting of Madero took place
between Villadama and Bastamente.
As the rebel leader in the Laredo
district, Geronimo Villareal, is par
tisan of Gen. Trevino, the Govern
ment expects that the trouble in that
vicinity will soon be adjusted.
Emilio Madero, in conjunction with
his brother, Raoul, few days ago,
began a counter revolution at San
Pedro, in the state of Coahuila, in
the expectation of uniting the rebels
about Satillo, with those in the La
redo district.
Hope for immediate peace in Mex
leo is slight. Rebel activity in the
north has increased and the Govern
ment's efforts to enter into arrange
nents with the Zapatistas appear to :
nave failed.
