HE GETS HIS JUST REVENGE
Indiana Farmer Catches a Nelshbor
Playing Poker and Has Him
Arrested.

Hartford City, Ind.-When Henry
Palladium, a well-known farmer near
here, was arrested a few days ago
charged with cruelty to animals on a
warrant sworn out by his neighbor,
Noah Slentz, Philabaum vowed he
would have revenge. He was fined
on the charge, it being proved that he
tied a tin can to the tail Of a horse
which invaded his garden.
Philabaum found his opportunity for
revenge. He saw Slentz, with several
other farmers, enter an icehouse to
while away a few hours during the
heat of the day. Palladium acted as
sleuth and found that a game of poker
was in progress. AS soon as he saw
Slentz ledge" a nickel, Palladium
swore u affidavits against the party.
Including Slentz there were six men,
each of whom paid a fine of SIC after
pleading guilty.

New School Architecture.

A one-story schoolhouse, built in the
form of a square around a courtyard,
and so constructed that, by raising a
series of sashes, it can be converted;
into what will be practically an open
air school, is the type of structure.
that marks a new departure in mod
ern school architecture. 1t provides
healthful surroundings for the chill
dren, keeps them near the ground, so
that the danger of fire and panic is re-
duced to a minimum, and at the same,
time affords exercise.
The open-air sashes face on an in
ner corridor, which will! eventually
form a sort of cloister around the
courtyard. AS the needs of the COM
munity require, other wings will be
added on the three remaining sides
Of the central square. 1t is intended
eventually to have a gymnasium and
swimming pool in a basement undeF-
the courtyard.

gle. Their enlightenment, such as
there is of it. is only initiative. For
instance, an election is but the old
tribal war cry, attended by scene of
violence. Negroes fell heir to magnifi-
cent plantations after the expulsion of
their French masters. But they show
a poor accounting for their steward
ship. They have s~quandered their
subsistence in civil war and the lux
ury of sluggish ease. A family here
and there camps in the wilderness, liv-
ing on coffee that grows wild, picking
the fruits on every side, and perhaps
growing a few yams. Should a man
aspire to what he could call a farm, he
would have to leave it for military
service, or perhaps see it ruined by
~ravaging hordes of armed politicians.
Consequently, the vast natural re-
sources of the country are not ex-
plotted. The island has been called
the richest of all the West Indies.
Anything that is planted will grow
and yield crop after crop the same
year. The hills are covered with for
ests of fine wood, practically un-
touched. Cotton might one day mean
great wealth for Haiti, but its an
nual export now does not exceed a
few thousand tons.
White Mans Influence Resented.
But should a foreigner attempt any
thing for the development or uplifting
of Haiti, he is fretted by obstacles at
every turn. The negroes have wanted
nothing of the white man. They are
absurdly jealous, absurdly suspicious.
The cost of the white mans absence
is misery, but Haiti chooses to pay it.
A fair-sized transport, c%ircling the
coast, could take away every foreign
er in the country. They number scarce
ly 500, mostly Germans. The negroes
number about a million and a half.
At every turn, the traveller is re-
minded of primeval savagery. Ore

au Prince, pounce upon the bones that
are thrown down to them by sailors
They are naked to the waist. and

Then you'll find that It's contagious;

are evidences of suspicion and hatred.
The island is a land of decay.
The boards of the houses are cracked

rags everywhere, lazily shutting
about, doing nothing. What is pic
turesque is of dirt. There is no Ia

At any rate Arras presents an ex-
traordinary instance of GOODNESS and
love of tho native soil. The inhabi-
tants evidently prefer to be buried be-
meath the ruins of their birthplace to
giving way to the brutal and senseless
terrorism of the futile bombardment.
I have given these details of the life
in Arras because 1t is perhaps the
nearest to the German trenches. but
as far as the danger goes and the per
%sistency of the bombardment there is
nothing to choose between the condi'
tons of life there and in the other
towns already mentioned.

CONCRETE IN THE BASEMENT
Four-lneh Slab Is Recommended by
Expert as Giving Best Possible
Results.

Over the entire floor area Of the
basement a four.inch slab of concrete
should be laid after the earth has been
firmly tamped down. This slab of con.
crete should be insisted upon, wether
the finished floor is to be of cement,
brick, tile, or wood; and it is well to
REINFORCE it against shrinkage,
stresses, and to bridge any soft places
In the ground, by imbedding in the
concrete some form of coarse wire
mesh or expanded metal, says Ernest
I. Freese in the House Beautiful.
Where cement finish is desired, this
should be not less than ~three-quarters
Of an inch in thickness, and it should
be applied before the concrete has be-
come "set"-otherwise the cement
finish will not properly unite with the
concrete base.
In rooms having a cement floor, the
cement can be carried up on the walls
to a height of six or eight inches above
the floor, thus forming a waterproof
and sanitary base. Then, if the floor
is slightly graded to a stump connect
ed with the underground drainage sys~
TEN, the floor can easily be kept clean
by turning the hose on it occasionally.
ALI cement floor finish should be
jointed at regular intervals, not ex-
ceeding three feet, so as to concen"
trate at these %jointings any probable
shrinkage cracks. Here again, a sim
pie, inexpensive wire mesh imbedded
in the cement finish will react against
the s%hrinkage strains and lessen the
liability of cracking. For this re-en-
forcement, common c~hicken-wire mesh
answers admirably.

Paris.-There are several towns in
France where the inhabitants have
grown so accustomed to being bonn
barded that they eat, drink, sleep, and
go about their daily tasks under a con-
tinual roar of cannon and bursting
shells. There are Reims, Pont-a-Mous-
son and Arras, for example, whose
populations have had but few days
respite for months past. To take the
latter town as a very typical instance
of what the French have to bear at
the present time, a correspondent Of
the Journal gives ar account of the
~sufferings of the people, which excites
establishment and admiration; and
from stories | have personally heard,
it is not in any whit exaggerated.
The last time | passed Arras in the
train on the journey to Boulogne,"
says the correspondent, shells could
be seer and heard bursting close by,
and though this was some time ago
the German interest in this unfortu-
nate town does not seem to have abat-
ed a jot. To understand the whole at
mosphere of danger and sudden death
that hangs over Arras, it has to be
realized that the German lines are
just half a mile away. And for eight
months they have eve been further
off, and have showered shells of every
caliber upon the town, until whole
quarters have been reduced to piles OF
ruins.
Scarcely a House Intact.
The massively built cathedral is
hardly recognizable, and the railway
station is a pile of nondescript ma.
terials. There is scarcely a house in
tact in the place. t was on October
8 Of last year that the Germans began
a bombardment that continued for
three days, and was taken up again
towards the end of the month. After
that it became intermittent and fanci,

MISSING YOUTH FOUND IN JAIL
Countrywide Search for Young Man
In Settlement Of Estate Is
Ended.

Denver, Colo.-After a country
wide search. Lyon e. Allen, a Denver
youth wanted by the county court to
s~traighten out an estate matter, has
been located in the county Jail in this
city. He is a federal prisoner, serving
u a sentence for violation of the drug
act.
Some time ago young Allen inherited
$500 from a relative in the East. His
father, Edward H. Allen. was appoint
ed guardian for him, collected the
money and then filed a claim for it,
asserting that the young nan owed
him more than $500 on account of
money advanced. In order that the
father might collect the money it was
necessary that the young man be
found.

"ereat Man" Of ENGLAND.

The great, fat man of England,
Daniel Lambert, was born in st. Mar
garet, Leicester. on March Is, ITO,
and died in Stamford. on June 81.
1909. He was 5 feet IL inches in
height. and at the age of twenty-three
weighed 44s pounds. He constantly
increased in flesh until the time of his
last illness, when he weighed 739
pounds. Around the thigh he meas
ured 81 inches, and 3 feet 4 inches
around the body. His coffin was q
feet A inches in length, with the ex.
traordinary width of 4 feet 4 inches,
and 2 feet 4 inches in depth. A win
dow and part of the wall of the house
had to be taken out to allow its exit.
A gradual slope was made in the
earth leading to the grave, so that
the coffin could be permitted to de.
scend on rollers to its final resting
place.
