A Hatchet-and-SaW Boat-Builder

taking a squirt, with one eye closed,
along boat under way, he knows just
what curve to give the next board to be
applied to the hull. And Jack never
makes miscalculation. He says he car
ries all his measurements and plans in his
head.
Whats the use of plan," queries
Happy, "if you know what you want
to build?'
And the remarkable thing about this
happy Hungaran-for such is Jacks ma
tivity-is that no modern, extensively
equipped bodybuilding plant can turn
out a more graceful, serviceable craft
than this toolless marvel. Strange to say,
too, all his boats have attained a maxi
mum speed with the minimum horse
power engine. In short, measurements
and displacement considered, no boat can
outrun ship from Happy Jacks little
yard.
Happy builds boats at hardtimes
prices. A boat unequipped with an en-
CINE, which would cost elsewhere from
eight hundred to a thousand dollars,
Jack builds for four or five hundred.
He installs the engine at cost. Happy's
biggest requirement from customer is
time. He doesn't like to be hurried; in fact,
he Won't be. That's why he works cheaply.

"HE little seaside town of Coupeville,
on Puget Sound in Washington,
boasts one-man boat works the like
of which, it is doubted, exists anywhere
else in the country. The capacity of the
plant is one boat year.
The owner and proprietor-who is like
wise the shred help" office-boy, and
general utility man-is locally known as
"Happy Jack" Of course, Happy Jack
has a name, but no one seems to know
what it is, or where the owner came from.
Happy gets his name from squint that
makes him appear to be eternally smiling.
He came in one time, many years ago,
with the tide. When he is not building
boat to sell, he is making miniature sail
ing-ships for his boy friends-and Happy
has lots OF them-or fishing for catch
that the grocer will take in exchange for a

Tears actually suffused the steel
bright eyes of the old German-tears of
shame and grief that made them seem
more baby-blue than ever. To think that
he, Otto Salzberger, friend of street
waits, donor of the annual Salzberger
Thanksgiving feast for newsboys, should
have been thus disgraced by his en-
ployees!
"Kleeman is no good!" he Numbered.

think of him and his dirty trick on Kris

He sat back in his swivel-chair, breath
ing heavily. After the manner of fat men,
he perspired vigorously when excited,
and, as he mopped his shiny head and
glistening face, he furtively wiped away
the drops from his eyes.
I'm ashamed" he said. "What will
that German woman think of Otto
Salzberger? l will never see her; will
never speak to her; but l will always
think of the poor woman from my own

ESCAPE FROM BURNING HOME

Claremont-The Ivan Nietert
farm three miles east of here
was the scene of thrilling en-
periences yesterday morning,
all due to the hired man, Reggie
Gerrett, attempting to start the
fire in the kitchen range with
gasoline which he mistooll for
kerosene.
The explosion which followed
scattered the flames all through
the building, and in few mo-
ments the entire house was a
mass of seething flames. Mr..
and Mrs. Neitert escaped in
only their night gowns. Gerrett
was so badly burned that he
could not hitch the horses to the
buggy, and Mr.. Neitert, without
shoes or stockings, waded
through the snow to the barn,
hitched up the team and took his
wife and baby and the hired man
to neighbor's mile away.
Neither Mr.. or Mrs. Nietert
were clothed beyond their night
robes, and in the cold drive, Mr..
Nietert' S feet were badly frozen.
Gerrett was taken to St. Lukes
hospital at Aberdeen where he
is receiving the best of medical
attention.

Stole For Love Of Fatherland.

over-F d Niden, a
young German farm hand, is un-
der arrest, charged with stealing
two horses from Roy Chapin's
barn at Andover. When Chaplin
visited the barn in the morning
he found the horses which had
been tied, moving about in the
barn, and two of them were
missing. The sheriff was notiti-
ed, and he in turn notified his
deputy at Wau bay, and the lat
ter caught Niden, driving a horse
and buggy and leading the two
stolen horses behind, a few miles
south of Waubay. Niden had
worked for a number of farmers
in the vicinity and bore a good
reputation for industry. He was
soon to have been married to an
estimable young woman near
Andover. 1t is stated that he
was anxious to return to Ger.
many to fight for the Father
land, and it is believed his love
for his native country overca me
his regard for honesty, and he
stole the horses in order to Sc.
cure funds with which to return
home to fight for the kaiser.
