Dear Children: am showing you how
to make a dressing table for your set Of
cardboard furniture.
Cut where there are solid lines and fold
on the dotted ones. When you fold lap
the four outside sections marked each
with a cross. under the front and back
edges, and paste them together. This
will give you four straight legs, as seen
in the small drawing.
Now. If you want to make the legs
stronger, you can fold instead of cut
their outside edges and stick the top of
the cross-marked pieces to the ends Of
the dressing table where the ends turn
down. 1 wonder whether you will all
have ingenuity enough to do this. It
makes the cut come at the top instead Of
at the side of each cross-marked sec-
ton.
think 1t is nice for you to think things
out for yourselves. and I am giving you
a chance to do so.

in Mississippi.

Jackson, Miss, July 23.-Thirty-fve
negro convicts sleeping on the second
floor of a wooden cage were burned
to death at the Oakley convict farm.
The charred bodies were buried in
the prison graveyard
The fire started on the first floor at
the stairway landing, cutting off the
only avenue of escape. The structure
was of wood, built 10 years ago with
lumber taken from the old peniten-
tiary building in Jackson, and burned
with astonishing rapidity. The con-
vict farm is not equipped with any
form of fire protection.
The screams of suffering prisoners
could be heard great distance and
farmers hurried to the scene, but were
unable to give assistance. The lower
floor of the cage was used as 40 store
building, a quantity of hay, corn and
molasses being in storage. The hay
undoubtedly caused the fire to spread
The Oakley farm is in charge of
Sergt. S. 7. Byrd. The prison is also
at that place, but the convicts who
lost their lives were not members of
