William Washington at one time

was also very black, and in truth had
not an honest penny TO his name. His
bank had-gone out Of business; failed
is too unkind a word to use in the case
of William Washington Just now the
dopositors were making his life rather
a burden, but over and over again he
assured them that his word was as
good as his bond. and he had premi-
um on words.
One morning a burly negro, carry
ing buggy whip in one hand opened
the door to the little Office William oc-
cupied In lieu of his presidential chair
at the bank,

said William.

With word of thanks the old man
sank into the reclining chair which the
officer pushed forward
In the course of that long talk, pune
tuated by the purr of his pipe and the
heavy breathing of the over-baked
earth, Kynaston learned much, for he
was ar apt pupil.
He learned of heavy-footed wander

trackless mountains; of nights spent
in the waterless desert, with only the

1t was the observant trumpeter who
spoke. Kynaston, obedient to the
summons, laid down his pipe and
walked down upon the fiat. He now
plainly heard the horses come quickly
up the rocky trail. Within a moment
or two they pulled up before the camp,
and he went forward to greet an Off
Ger who dismounted swiftly and intro
duced himself.
Il am Major Updyke, Mr. Kynas-

to relieve you Of part of your en-

to take a look over your camp and

preston that with an affair of this
importance happening here you should

signs for houses of more than one

The general impression received
from this home is one of rustic beau

in shakes, as shown here, or in shin

with the rest of the exterior. Other
pleasing features Of the exterior are
the white trim and the unusual lattice

sibilities that are open to the home
builder in handling the various small
details of a house so as to make his
home distinctive and artistic. This
door has three glass panels in it..
These panels are of different lengths,
the one on the left being the shortest

The hinges are made with broad

Voluntary efforts on the part Of in

the New York State Industrial Com
mission says that safety OF factories

are all indications OF progress, and
that 1t is a sign of the times that the
latter-day manufacturers do not have
to be driven into these humanitarian
efforts by force of law, but are putting
them into vogue Of their own free will,
as a matter of sound business econom-

Machinery ana cheap labor.

In Farm and Fireside we read
that in the Mazatlan district of Mexico
farm labor can be hired for from Is to
80 cents a day, and the men board
themselves. Two of the large farms
down there, according to United States
Vice Consul A. Gordon Brown, use
American tractors to advantage.
This seems to show two things:
First, tractor can be used profitably
even where labor is cheap; and, Sec
ond, 1t makes the best of inefficient
labor" writes the vice consul. Put a
tractor in the hands of a languid Mex
lean, and as long as he keeps going he
will do as much work as the most
ardent advocate of the strenuous life.
Power machinery thus offsets the cli
matte lassitude affecting men and ami
mails, and gives opportunity for tillage

SOME FACTS ABOUT RADIUM
Found Only In the Most Minute ouan
tities--Minerais That Garry It
Easy to Determine.

Radium is a metal and is described
as having white metallic luster. It
has been isolated only once or twice
and few people have seen it. Radium
is ordinarily obtained from its ores in
the form Of hydrous sulphate, chloride
or bromide, and it is in the form of
these salts that it is usually sold and
used. These are all white or nearly
white substances, whose appearance
is no more remarkable than common
salt or baking powder. Radium Is
found in nature in such exceedingly
small quantities that it is never visible
even when the material is examined
with microscope. Ordinarily radium
ore carries only small fraction Of a
