Monsieur Pei was not a popular

their heads gloomily when they did

chatter when he went by, and 1t is re-
lated to this day, by the old inhab-
itants, that the dogs showed their
teeth and growled at the sight Of him.
His habits and appearance were all
against him. For one thing, Pei would
have no trafic with his neighbors, fur
Their than to mend their watches and
clocks. He seemed to hate all man

man had an evil face, that man was
Pei. His countenance was long and
ran down to point; his nose was
hooked, and two little red, fiery eyes
glared with changeless hostility upon
all around him. His ears were large
and stuck out from his head like sails,
and his complexion was of the waxy,
bloodless hue of corpse.
His business was matchmaking; but
his passion was chemistry, and all his
spare hours we're spent in his house,

intoxicated pigeons trying to stagger

During the week a hundred pigeons
belonging to various persons were
stolen. Two boys were found With
seven pigeons. and when arraigned be

confessed that they were members OF

James Phillip and Harry o'Leary,
were released on suspended sentences
when they promised to get the other
lads to liberate the stolen pigeons,
This was done and the air was full OF

Monsieur Pei; so strange that he was
sent to a lunatic asylum once and re-

which experience he resumed his

tho best sanitary conditions IN q dairy
stable. These features are taken care
OF in good style in the well-arranged
barn that is shown here. The win.
dows are plentiful and are large
enough so that the interior will be
bright and cheerful. They can be
made as easement windows or with
sliding sash, SO that they can be
opened in the warm weather. Dutch
doors are also included, so that the
upper part can be left open for add.
tional ventilation in the warm
weather.
The ventilating system is most COM
plete and well arranged. The air is
carried in through flues and is dis.
charged into the stable in front of the
cows and over their heads. The out
take openings are placed behind the
cows and lead to foul-air shafts run
ming up the walls and along the roof
to the ventilator placed on the peak.
The barn is so well built that It is
practically alright. and the ventilating
system must be so well arranged that
a plentiful supply Of air will be as.
sured during the cold weather.
The ceiling over the stable should
be made Of dressed and matched
flooring, 80 that none of the dust
from the haymow will sift down into
the stable. Dust has a bad effect on
cows, and this method of construc.
ton will eliminate danger.
A large storage space is available
in the upper part of the barn, as the
trussed gambrel roof leaves all the
space open so that the supply of hay
and fodder that can be kept will be
plentiful. A hay track is provided,
so that the material can be easily
got into the barn. This track ex-
tends out through the large sliding
hay doors and is protected by hood
roof projection at the peak. The door
slides on an inclined track placed
Just under the caves. The tendency
at the present time is to make the
hay doors rather large. so that a
good load of hay can be handled read
lily by the hayfork. With sliding
doors this has not made 1t necessary
to waste space in the NOW for doors,
and makes the filling of the haymow

showed that she had died of poison.
This was bad enough, but worse was

that he had treated Pels mother for

POST ON UNEMPLOYMENT

Despite these so-called good
times, when thousands of men have
jobs in munition factories, we still
have the unemployed problem" says
J4ouis F. Post, assistant secretary of
labor. He asserts that IL all the job
less men in the country were put into
the manless Jobs, there would still be
many men without work. He points
out that as long as this condition ex-
lists men will underbid each other, and
cause them to be afraid of their jobs"
This does not include only the
classes who do manual labor" says
Mr.. Post. 'It applies to all classes,
up to the highest. There is an under
supply of opportunities, not an over
supply Of men. One Of the aims of
the department of labor is to create
conditions in which men can make
their own Jobs. Along this line is

climbed up and had a good view, over
the top of the boards, of the interior

The neighbors waited at a distance,
marveling at the boldness of the young
man, and praying that he might return
alive. He did. He came back to

he expected to see. Pei was stocking

Nothing was done until morning,
and then the officers went to the

there was a heap of white ashes in
the furnace. But there was plenty of
evidence that great crime had been
committed, and that Elise Boehmer
had been destroyed. Pei was taken
to jail. where he told one lie after

OUR OLDEST SENATOR

Senator Jacob H. Gallinger. who
recently celebrated his seventy-ninth
birthday, is the dean Of the senate.
Not only is he the chairman of the
Republican conference and thus en-
titled to the designation OF minority
leader, but he Is the oldest member OF
the senate, either in respect of years
or In point of service.
The senate used to be regarded as
body Of octogenarians. but It comes
long way from that nowadays. As o

though only one year stands between
him and eighty. looks little like O man
