Judge Putnam So Rules During the Hearing-'Manufacturers Give Tes- timony Yesterday.

Boston, Dec. 18-The question in, voived in the government suit to dis. solve the United Shoe Machinery company is simply one of monopoly and not whether the alleged monopoly is oppressive, according to Federal Judge Putnam, who is presiding al the trial with Judges Dodge and Brown.
 The defense has endeayored to show that the tying" clauses in the contracts operated to the advantage of the shoe manufactures and that the system was beneficial rather than oppressive, as the government con. tended
 Where a party secured a monop oly he might operate it in a beneyo lent manner today and tomorrow in an oppressive manner" said Judge Putnam. There is nothing in the law which permits one person to com pei another to do what is to be other persons advantage"

For a corner lot or an extra wide
lot like square house with four
sided roof. This style OF roof has
been popular for cottage houses for a
great many years. In fact, It used to
be known in the east as cottage"
roof, because In New York and other
eastern states square-built one-story
houses were very common. Some Of
these cottage houses were so large
that the roof needed all the support
possible, and the pointed peak style
in the design here illustrated was
found especially suitable.
1t looked well then, and It looks well
now; but we make these roofs much
sleeper and add few windows, which
enables us to get the benefit Of a good
garret that in the old-style roof was
too dark. Sometimes we tuck several
bedrooms away in the corners OF these
pyramid roofs; but when we do that,
we generally run the wall up a foot
or two higher and extend the windows
down considerably lower than these.
As this house is built the attic is
all right for storage purposes and for
hanging the family washing on rainy
or snowy days; and it is worth a
great deal Of comfort, during the sum.
mer, just to keep the house cool when
the sun shines hot and the wind comes

To appreciate good attic at its full
value, you must have the window sash |
hung with strong hinges. Butts are
all right generally; but sometimes
strap hinges are better; they are sure |
ly better IL you have the sash made |
with wide enough stiles to hold the |
screws properly. You must have some |
good way of fastening the windows

MAIL CLERK UTTERS PROTEST
Wall Should Appeal to Those Who
Have Habit of PlnnIng Their
Written Sheets Together.

III people must stick pins into their
letters, l wish they would cover up
the points so that they wouldn't push
through" said a mail clerk whose
hands we're disfgured by tiny scratch
es. Il must get about a hundred digs
a day from pins that systematic folks
use to hold their correspondence to-
gether. 1 never could make out, any
how, why so many letters need to be
finished off with pin.
"Of course, understand that about
half of those written by women have
4 postscript in the shape of samples Of
dress goods or newspaper cuttings,
which perhaps require a pin or two to
hold them in place, but even that habit
cannot account for the large number
of letters that come through the post
ofice with pin sticking out of one
corner.
q have come to the conclusion that
many writer's so mail their manuscript
with malicious intent It may not be
us fellows in the postofice against
whom they hold a grudge, but we are
the ones that usually get the benefit
of those pins"

Viewed from without. necessity

the fruit into the seed, the seed into

In the great office Of Nature there

ROYALTY Handlcapned

The late Admiral Robley D. Evans,
during his visit to Japan, was received
by Mutsuhito and his empress at a
court ceremony. In speaking of the
Japanese court, he said;
Hand-kissing was not the thing. In.
stead, received a hand-shake from a
very shapely and beautiful hand. l
found the empress a woman of great
refinement and perfect ease of man
ner, so delicate in appearance and so
small in stature as to remind you of
some fine piece Of Dresden china. She
was attired in a Paris gown Of hello
trope brocade, the bad fit Of which l
accounted for Just as l accounted for
the baggy trousers of the emperor.
After / had been year in Japan I
was satisfied 1t was owing to the fact
that tailor would not permit himself
to touch the persons Of their majes-
ties, but just looked at them and
what the measurements would
be.-Youth's Companion.

of it. Such little excursions, when
taken in the middle of the night, lead
to more things than the attic; they
have been known to lead to profanity,
and that is wrong.
Being practically 80 feet wide, this
house needs a 40-foot lot if it is on
a corner; and the lot should be wider
than this If there is a house on each
side Of 1t. Sometimes there are build
ing restrictions which require all
houses on certain streets to be placed
so many feet back from the curb or
the street line; and such stipulations
usually include the position Of the
house in regard to the side line of the
lot. The intention is to present an
even frontage, for uniformity in front,
and to leave a decent lawn on the
sunny side of the house, one object
being to let the light into the next
mans windows across this open space,

Manners Can Be Acnnired.

An English critic says that the ath-
letic girl has no manners and has
other faults. But after the brilliant
showing of little Baltimore girl late
ly in rescuing several children single
handed from burning house, a res
cue made possible by her practice at
athletic exercises, the lack of polish
more or less can easily be forgiven.
Manners can always be acquired, but
it demands very quick action and abil-
ity to save lives. The mistake of such
critics is to lay the blame on athletics
when that blame is due to entirely diff
ferent causes. The old idea that gen.
tleness went with weakness and won.
with timidity is now exploded
