A small story and a half house or
cottage Of five rooms is shown In this
plan. 1t is twenty-five feet six inches
wide by thirty feet in length, and may
be built with or without a cellar or
plumbing. However, at the time OF
building a cellar under a small house
like this does not cost a great deal.
and no modern house these days
should be built without water and gas
pipes and electric wiring.
Gas is being carried in pipes along
thickly settled roads in the country,
Almost every village having an enter.
prising population has a gas plant, and
many homes have private plants OF
their own. Improvements in the man
ufacture of gas have gone ahead so
rapidly of late that 1t is not necessary
for any person. no matter how remote
from large cities, to do without this
wonderful modern convenience in
housekeeping,
You can have q good satisfactory
water supply both upstairs and down
by simply putting a good force pump
in the well, or cistern, with a little
piping and with a tank sufficient for
the days supply. You can have a
more elaborate system for more mon
ely, but the point / wish to make is
that no n need do without a water
supply under pressure If they really
want it.
Such houses as this may be bulls
for very little money. IL Ia difficult tc
estimate for different localities be
cause prices vary more than half, but
] have known just such houses to be
built for $500 and finished up in Q
way entirely satisfactory to the owner
You can make it as much more elabor
ate as you want to, but generally the
object In building a small house Is tc
make a comfortable home for a small
family at a moderate cost and that Ii
what this design is intended for.

Put in Afternoon on Roads.

Huron.-A big crowd of business
men and citizens, members of the HUI
ron Commercial club, put in an after
noon at road work on Dakota avenue
north Of the city. From the Great
Northern tracks to a point eight miles
north the work was completed and
the tired and hungry crowd Of toilers
were served a picnic supper. 1t was
an enjoyable affair, and resulted in
accomplishing a vast amount Of work.
The club is getting roads leading into
the city in splendid condition, and
before the season closes there will be
no better highways in the state than
those in the vicinity of Huron.

played a part. Ray Witham, who since

Gross, Neb., and on his return an
bounced that he had been married. At
Ills time he was employed on the
farm of w. w. Hoover, who was great
ly taken with Witham, who was a
faithful and intelligent worker. When
Witham asked his employer for the
use of a team so he could go and bring
his bride to the place where he was
employed, Hoover offered no objec-
ion. In due time Witham returned in
company with a handsome maiden of
about II years, whom he claimed was
ais bride, giving particulars of their
alleged marriage. But some hours
later a stranger appeared on the scene
and announced hat the couple had not
been married as claimed. The
stranger was an officer and Witham

BALI" and the Smoky Joe" of the
North Dakota will serve a ball travel

other phase of the big game!
The training a for this con-
test is twelve months long and the
spring training grounds is at Guantan-
amo, a few miles to the eastward of
where the bones of Cervera's gallant
fleet were laid by American gunners.
Back of the training season lies the
shadowy bulk Of the Naval academy,
and further back the shades of Hull,
Decatur and Farragut. Has any other
game greater or more brilliant tradi-
ton or a better list of past perform
ances? Each yea the training sea-
son begins anew, with new rules, with
improved weapons and changed con-
ditions.
Follow n unit, one team, through
its course Of training. You will go
from the waters of the Caribbean and
its violet islands, the playground of
soft breezes and flying fish, to the
rock shores and sharp-etched sea Of
New England and feel your way into
the navy yards that range the coast
from Portsmouth to Key West. You
will steam at top speed in waters that
are dappled by sunlight, or crawl
through dripping fog that hangs over
the sea like a blanket with a gale that
combs up forty-foot seas.
Thirteen years ago this blue-ribbon
contest Of the seas, which is now fea-
tured on the southern drill grounds at
the time when sping millinery is fore
most in the minds of landsmen, bore
no more resemblance to the big game

Supposed Tramp Ground TO Death.

Sioux Faiis.-Thc remains of an I'M
identified man, cut to pieces by being
run over by trains on the Milwaukee
railroad, were found on the railroad
track near this city. It is thought the
victim was a hobo who was seen in
the Milwaukee yards in an intoxicated

stealing a ride out of town on a stock
train and fell under the wheels of the
train. Two other trains passed over
him later and completed the work OF
