by this stable arrangement the

Straw Is kept bright by housing IL
overhead at threshing time and II is
made useful at eedins time by per-
mitting the cows to pick II over in

straw is then passed back to the stalls

works farther back II absorbs liquid

spreader and hauled at once 10 the

this kind of round barn TO save labor
and utilize feed and bedding to the
best possible advantage.
The farm stable should be consId-
efld in the light of a manufacturing
establishment, Manufacturers in cit.
les arrange their factories to admit
raw material at one end and to ship
the finished product from the other
end, 5ea y 49,
Good practice requires that the dif.
ferent processes OF manufacture shall
follow each other in systematic or
der. Once started, a charge OF raw
material advances at every step; It
is never permitted to go backward.
When farmers arrange their business
so that each step counts. instead OF
turning back and walking around in
circles, then farmers become business
men in the best sense of the term.
Another advantage Of building COW
stalls I'm a circle is the fact that cat
tie, and especially dairy cows. are
wedge shaped
The most convenient stalls are
wider behind than they are in front,
and they fit the cows better. The
work among dairy cows is done at the
rear of the stalls. In using milking
machines considerable room is needed.
The use of milking machines is one
reason for placing the windows in the
rear OF the cows, so that the light is
admitted where it is most needed.
No other shape of barn offers so
many advantages for the same amount
of square foot area. There is a quick,
easy means of feeding I'm the center

Charles, who is old enough to be
the father of his girl-wife, made
many promises if given another
chance, but he had fooled the court
for the last time. He was sentenced
to the Bridewel to take the liquor
cure and work in the clay hole.
Then Judge SABBATH gave the girl
wife his personal check for SIS and
arranged that she and her 2 chill

able to get work.

SING SING WARDEN INDICTED.
CHARGES CONSPIRACY
White Plains, N. Y, Dec. %
Thomas Mott Osborne, golden rule
warden of Sing Sing prison, was in
dicted on six courts by the West
Chester county grand jury which has
been investigating prison conditions.
Five of the counts charge malfeas-
ance in Office. The sixth alleges per-
sonal immortality. The accusations,
according to Osborne's friends, grew
out of a systematic campaign to
force his removal from Office.
Osborne is probably the best
known prison warden in the U. S. on
account of the radical reforms he has
instituted Though a millionaire, he
accepted the post as warden of Sing
Sing prison because he desired to
put to a test his theories regarding
prison reform. When he went to
Sing Sing he organized the Mutual
Welfare Prison league, encouraged
sports within the walls and establish
ed other reforms. Only recently he
was banqueted in New York by
number of ex-convicts who had been
discharged from Sing Sing during
his administration.
Osborne first became interested in
prison reform when he was deputy
attorney general of New York state.
He conducted a grand jury investiga-
ton of Sing Sing and became so
aroused at what he discovered that
he announced he would devote his
time and money to prison reform.
Osborne is specifically charged
with absence from duty on an aver
age of three days a week. 1t is alleg-
ed that because of his inefficient

GRANDDAUGHTER OF
ABRAHAM LINCOLN
IS MARRIED AGAIN
FORMER WIFE OF WARREN
BECK WITH, IOWA ATHLETE,
WEBS GEOGRAPHER.

Keokuk, Iowa, July 7.--Of much in
terest locally will be the following
story which was sent the Chicago
Tribune from Manchester. There is
hardly anyone in Keokuk or vicinity
who does not remember Warren Beck
with, baseball player, and enthusiast
sports. His wife was the granddaught-
er of President Lincoln. They became
lestranged several years ago and a d.
vorce followed. Mrs. Beckwith has
married again, as the following from
Manchester, w., tells:
"Mrs. Jessie Lincoln Beckwith,
daughter of Robert Todd Lincoln of
Chicago and the only living grandchild
of the late Abraham Lincoln, was
married at the summer home of her
parents here today to Frank Edward
Johnson of Norwich, Conn.
Only the immediate members of the
family witnessed the ceremony, which
was performed by Rev. Sidney King
man Perkins. Mr.. Johnson is we'll
known geographer and is connected
with the National Geographic Society
of Washington"
Mrs. Johnson's new union is much
different from the one formed by her
against the wishes of her parents in
1897. In those days Miss Jessie
Lincoln, a society belle, was visiting
at the home of her grandfather,
Justice Harlan, when she met Warren
w. Beckwith, who was playing right
halfback on the Iowa Wesleyan foot
ball team.
Miss Lincoln watched him, fell
under the spell of hero worship at COL
lege games, and love developed, and
a speedy courtship was carried on, de-
spite the efforts of the Lincoln rela-
tives to prevent it. An elopement fol-
lowed, and the brides father tried to
place Beckwith in a responsible posi-
ton with the Pullman company of
Chicago.
The young husband, however, soon
returned to the home of his father,
Capt. w. Beckwith, at Mount Pleas
ant, and later became professional
baseball player in minor leagues.
Then he entered the Spanish-Ameri-
can war as a volunteer A daughter
was born to the couple, the only great
granddaughter of Lincoln.
BY this time the love cooled and
separation followed, divorce not be-
ing obtained, however, until 1900 on
uncontested charges of desertion made
by the husband.

Farmers Improving Their Places.

Just now in driving thru the coun-
try, you will find many farmers build
ing good, strong, durable wire fences.
There is nothing that will enhance the
value of your farm more than good
fence. After the crops are taken off
in the fall, the stock can be turned in
and every bit of the grain cleaned up.
A good wire fence does not really cost
so much. We have an immense lot of
the reliable fencing, all kinds of it,
and will be pleased to make you a
quotation.
This is barn building time. Don't
wait until the wintry blasts blow. Why
wait when you are in need of a good,
roomy, warm barn.
Of course you are going to put
screens on your house if you have not
already done so. Don't let the flies

WHERE HER THOTS WERE.

The husband was reading a news
paper account to his wife Now and
then he paused and asked a question.
The nature of her replies made him
doubt that she was listening closely.
He accused her of having thots else
where and she Indignantly retorted
that she had heard every word.
He continued reading for few min
utes and then glanced at her. From
the PARKWAY look in her eyes he knew
her thots were not upon the item he
was reading. So, turning the sheet
for an excuse for the pause, he con-
tinued as follows, apparently reading:
Last night, at about two o'clock in
the afternoon, just few minutes be-
fore breakfast, hungry boy about
60 years old bot a doughnut for nine
pins and threw it thru concrete
wall 20 feet thick. With cry of des-
pair he jumped into dry mill-pond
broke his arm at the knee joint and
was drowned. 1t was only ten years
later, on the same day and at the
same hour that a goat gave birth to
six elephants. A high wind then came
up and killed three dead horses and a

denly.
