LEFT THE COLONEL THINKING
Probably After This He Made Some
Inquiries Before He Gave Up
His Money.

A certain old colonel was noted for
his great generosity. He had lost an
arm during one of the engagements
in which he had seer service. and
this made him very sympathetic to-
ward all who had experienced similar
losses.
While walking on his estate one
day he met an old o~ne-legged man.
evidently In AFFECT poverty.
All. you have met with a great
misfortune. like myself, l see," re-
marked the colonel.
All" replied the old man, "and
like yersel', colonel. l have spent q
great part O. my life in governments
service, and seen a lot O hard
work"
my poor mani" exclaimed tn,
kind hearted colonel, as he pushed
half dollar into the old mans hand
Il fear you h:.ve received but a poo,
reward for your services"
I'VE may we'll say that, colonel.
replied the veteran as he hobble'
away.
But" added the colonel, "yor
didn't tell me where you served"
We'll. II it comes to that" the oil
r%eprobate answered, with a 81
chuckle. Il served my time in j-jai

Mr.. william 4 Radford VIII answer
questions and give advice FIRE. OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject Of building. for the readers Of this
paper. On account of his wide experience

The accompanying illustrations
show a house design especially adapt
ed to the needs of suburban or coun-
try building. The requirements for
q dwelling house for such a location
are different In a good many respects
from those In a city. More attention
should be paid to the matter of max
Ing the house as nearly ~fireproof as
possible; for in the country, as well
as in u smaller towns and suburbs,
there is little or no fire protection.
Accordingly. If a building once takes
lire, nothing, as a usual thing, can
be done except to watch it burn. OF
course, the fire risk from adjoining
buildings is much greater in thickly
settled communities; but the fire
hghting apparatus which is quickly
available more than makes up for this
extra hazard.
The only wise and logical thing for
a man to do when he plans to invest
a large amount Of money in a subur-
ban or country home, is to build it
fi%reproof. With the modern building
materials now available, it is very
easy to do this; and the cost, although
considerably more than for frame, is
certainly O excessive when the fire
protection, the enduring character of
the house, ETC., are taken into consid-
GRAFTON.
For the accompanying design, a
thoroughly fireproof construction is
employed. The beauty and home-like
atmosphere Of this house make any
expenditure, however large, seem
worth while that will make it abso-
Iutely safe and enduring, no matter
where it is built.
The walls Of this house are formed
