Taking oneself too seriously is sup
posed to be an American trait. At
any rate. it is found in America. The
late Edward Everett Hale in eve. the
People" cites a remark of Thomas
Carlyle apropos of this habit.
Margaret Fuller had perhaps taken
herself the least bit too seriously. she
had said that she had determined ito

RECOMMENDS COTTONWOOD
TIMBER
y. A. Clark Says II Il Safer and More
Lasting for Stables. Hitching
Posts aud Bridges.

The fact that cottonwood lumber
is better for the following uses than
oak or any other lumber to be had.
except black walnut. is not general
" believed. l mean lumber from
large or well grown trees.
Inch-thick lumber for stalls in sta
bies. feed-boxes for horses. and man
gels. when the top of the manger and
frame work for horse stalls are 2xf
or PKG inches. Horses will not gnaw
such feed-boxes or wangers because
they can't get a silver to eat. as from
oak, pine. or spruce; and. again. hoT-
ses can't tear their hide or harness
on sliyers or sharp edges. Inch
boards are too tough to be kicked
through when used as partitions.
Cottonwood can usually be OBJ
tanned much cheaper than other lum-
bers. because so few know what il is
good for.
On large bridges. for floor planks.
cottonwood sawed full two inches. or
better three inches thick. and il two
inches. only ten inches wide. and II
three inches. not over twelve inches.
and II dried first, piled with sticks
between and under clamp, so the
planks cannot curl. or warp. then
laid on bridge sleeper. leaving one
half or three-quarters of an inch be-
tween the planks and well spiked
down: or. If spiked down green. the
edges put close, so when seasoned
there will be open cracks to allow
dirt to rattle through. so planks will
not hold moisture; such bridge plank
will be harder at the end of twenty
years than when they were put down.
while the best of oak will need to be
renewed in that time.
Two by six cottonwood rails bolt
ed onto your posts. two bolts to each
post. will beat chains or gas pipe, or
oak, for hitching rails. Chains at
tached to the end posts and passing
through holes in the intermediate
posts sag and pull in the tops OF the
posts. and sag more and allow CEN
ter posts to lean, and in few months
your hitching posts are nearly all on
the ground. Gas pipes are but little
better. Ropes slip on gas pipe and
teams approach each other and fight
