RATHER SPOILED THE EFFECT

When His Opponent Related
q Little Fable.

A barrister who was possessed of
an unusually loud voice was making
an eloquent address to a jury. His
case was fairly strong, and his
trumpet tones made the rafters ring.
The jury looked thoughtful and much
impressed.
The opposing barrister had face
like Ratchet and thin, low voice.
He began: "As listened to the
thunderous appeals OF my learned op-
ponent I recalled a fable A lion and
an ass entered into a compact to slay
the beasts OF the field and share the
spells. The ass was to go into the
thicket and bray and brighten the ami.
mails out, while the lion was to lie in
wait and kill the fugitives. Well. the
ass sought the darkest part of the jun
gle, and. lifting up his awful voice.

ass was intoxicated with his own up
roar and thought he'd return to see
what the lion thought Of 1t. He found
the lion pale in the face and trem-
bling What do you think OF that for

PRIVACY OF "DsN"
important Part OF House IL That In
Which One May Be Free From
Intrusion.

No man or woman feels absolutely
satisfied with his or her home in
these days unless he or she, OF both,
have a eden" Therefore every ar
chitect who plans house provides
for at least one room to be used as
"den," and if possible he takes
care that both Mr.. and Mrs. shall
have their own private "dens."
But on the word "private" the ar
chitects do not always put sufficient
importance. The "den" should be
in every sense of the word private,
and to make it so it should be so
located in the house as to be apart
from and not easily entered from
parlor or living room or front hall,
or any other room which is in con-
slant use.
A certain suburbanite has what he
supposed was to be his "den;" but
one cannot enter the living room
from the front hall without passing
through this "den;" the result is
that there is absolutely no privacy in
the "den," and, more than this, nine
times out Of ten, when his wife has
callers in the evening, the "den"
proves more attractive to all in the
house than does the living room or
the parlor, with the result that Mr..
Suburbanite, if he desires a private
hour for reading or writing, must
hike to the kitchen or some other
part Of the house and leave the wife
and callers in undisputed possession
of what was supposed to be his own
nice little private ''den."
BY ali means have "den," and by
all means see that it is private, even
if you have to build it in the cellar
OF out back of the house.

HITCH FOR WIRE FENCE.

crete post is by encircling the post
with a wire one size less than the cor
responding wire in the fence proper
and by twisting this wire around the
strand Of the fence. This is done in
two ways. The fastening wire is placed
around the post, twisted upon itself
and then to the fence wire, or one end
Of the fastening wire is twisted around
the fence wire, and the free end is
then carried around the post and twist
ed on the other side to the same wire.
Either plan is good, but care must be
taken to draw the fastening wire tight.
or else stock trying to get through the
fence may raise or crush down the
fencing with their heads. If any trOu-
BILE is experienced the post should be
rOughened at the fastening point with
a cold chisel.
Expansion and contraction of the
fence, due to heat and cold. are cared
for by the tension curves or kinks" in
the woven wire fencing, and no fear
may be felt in drawing the fastening
wires as tight as necessary. Wooden
mailing strips should never be imbed-
ded in the posts, for moisture will
swell the wood and crack the concrete.

OAK ORCHARD.

Oak Orchard is noted for its annual
Fourth of July celebration. That is
one day when almost every Sussex
County farmer takes the day off and
goes to Oak Orchard. In the past the
crowds used to drive there, but now

their own automobiles. For those
who will not 90 by automobile or by
team the boat will run from Mills
vile after the noon train. AS usual
the celebration will mainly cOnfine
itself to one big family picnic and
there will be more politics talked ov-
er than would be found at a cOnven-
tion. Indian River and Baltimore
hundred politicians always meet that
day, and it is rumored that Lewes,
Georgetown, Milford, Bridgeville and
Laurel politicians may drop in that
way. RehOboth will not have any
celebration this year and Oak Orch
ard will probably get the crowd, as
several motor boats have
been chartered to take parties from
Lewes. Rehoboth and Ocean View to
Oak Orchard for the day. There will
be some boat racing, a baseball game
and plenty of bathing all day. There
will also be plenty of refreshments
for man and beast. Boats will run

turn, and everyone is invited to spend
the Fourth at Oak Orchard.

MATERIALS THAT LAST.
Tile, Brick and Concrete Work Well In
Combination.

Taking tile. brick and concrete all to-
gether, we have three excellent build
ing materials, ana they work well in
combination with each other. Concrete
| is a general favOrite for foundations.
piers. walks. platforms and things
built near the ground. lt'sets solid and
makes an excellent base for most any
thing. says d. S. Burch in Farm and
Fireside.
Tile and brick are used largely for
walls and work higher up. All three
materials can be REINFORCED by rods or
wires laid in the joints. And, by the
way. barbed wire and woven wire are
both good as reinforcing material. In
tile special grooves are made TO receive
reinforcement Thus. in making a tile
silo you have your hoops just the same
as for a wood silO. but they are right
in the wall, firmly embedded so they
can't slip up or down and protected
forever from rust The reason you can
conceal the hoops is because tile neither
shrinks nor swells, and there would
never be any occasion to touch the
hoops.
l would hesitate to say that any
building is fireprOof, but certainly
neither concrete, brick nor tile can
burn or be greatly harmed. even
though all the contents Of a building
burned up. Brick, for instance, is made
by heating clay to 5000 degrees r. and
can't burn any more. Tile and cement
are also the direct products of furnace
heat hot enough to melt the ordinary
metals.
Wood is an excellent building mate
rial because it is so easy to handle.
You can saw. chisel and shape it any
way you want and then fasten it to-
gether with nails, screws or bolts
Every town has at least one lumber
yard, and wood is easy to get. Cement, |
brick and tile are harder to procure in /
some localities and n little more diff
cult to work with, but when you are all |
through and you clean OFF your trowel |
you feel just a little better satisfied. |
because what you have built is perma- |
nent, fireproof and will need neither |
painting nor repairs for years to come.
You can safely cut down your insur-
ance policies, because there is less to
burn up, but the chances are you'll
never have a fire.

Hitch For Wire Fence.

There are numerous methods Of at
taching wire fencing to concrete posts.
Some makers place staples or wire
loops in the green concrete; others
make holes in the posts. The former
method is not desirable because the
fastener cannot be located exactly
where the wire of the fencing will
come when the post is set in the
ground. Then. too. the fastener will
eventually rust or break of and will
thus injure the looks Of the post. On
the other hand, holes through the posts
weaken them, and therefore this meth
cd is in general unsatisfactory.
The simplest, easiest and cheapest
way of fastening a wire fence to a con-
