anything about the buildings that mill

STICKS IN HIS CEMENT BED
Pickax Needed to Assist Sleeper to Get
Up From Soft Spot in Which
He Lay.

1t took a pickax to arouse a citizen
of this place from his bed. After the
pickax had been used there was also
some strong pulling by friends before
he could jump out, for he had slept all
night in a bed Of concrete and it had
hardened more or less during the night.
1t was late in the evening, after the
rest of the people of Bayard had re-
tired, that the hero OF this episode
stumbled toward home. A new cement
pavement had just been laid in front
of the home of Capt. w. P. Wilgus, and
workmen had been stopped by the
darkness.
Our hero did not know of the pave
ment and landed on it with both feet.
Finding that he was sinking up to his
shoe tops in the soft concrete he laid
down and bothered no more about it.
In the morning the workmen found
him fast asleep and also fast in the
concrete, which had hardened during
the night. 1t look pickaxes before he
could be pried loose. A new pavement
is being laid.-Bayard (Del.) Dispatch

nothing OF her daughters action, and she assured the officer that Mr..
Coggeshal would relieve the government of Marhns claim and buy the new

So Marians father bought here the doll and the matter ended right
there. But Marian had a perfect right to ask the government to replace
her doll, and II her motherh had permitted II, her claim probably would have

PLANTS FOR THE BORDER

In choosing plants for the border,
try to get those varieties which give
q succession OF bloom. The majority
OF ornamental shrubs come into bloom
early In the season. hut there are
many which give fine effect during
the sumner and well along into the
autumn months. While some shrubs
are a foot or less tall. others reach n
height Of ten or twelve feet, and this
should be considered in determining
location.
