IRON POSTS SUPPORT WIRE
Trenches Only Little Way From
 Being impreonsbIe.

Tn the Atlantic Monthly Mir Edward Morlae describes very clever i'm provement the Germans have made in their barbed-wire defenses. The wires are usually fastened to wooden posts. of course but the Germans have found better support for them. He writes:
 After we had taken the German trench. our men set to work to remodel it, shifting the parapet to the other side, building little outpost trenches and setting barbed wire. The latter job was done in wonderfully short time. thanks to German thoroughness. For the wooden stakes to which the wire is tied they had substituted soft iron rods, three-quarters of an inch thick, twisted five times in the shape of a great corkscrew. This screw twist ed into the ground exactly like cork puller into a cork. The straight part of the rod, being twisted upon itself down and up again every ten inches, formed six or seven small loops in a height of about five feet. Into these eyes the barbed wire was laid and solidly secured with short lengths of tying wir"
 First cutting the tying wire. we lift ed the barbed wire out of the eyes, showed small stick through one, and, turning the rod with the leverage of the stick. usncrewed it out of the ground, and then, reversing the proc ess, screwed fl in again. The advan- tage of this rod is obvious. When a shell falls in the midst of this wire protection. the rods are bent and twist ed, but unless broken of short they always support the wire, and even after a severe bombardment present a serious obstacle to the assaulters. In such case wooden posts are blown to smithereens by the shells. and when broken oil they let the wire fall flat to the ground"

Reputed Holy Man" of Japan Sub sists on Laurel Leaves and Few
 Raw Potatoes Daily.

A hermit who has set up his private shrine by the wayside calls himself the incarnation of Fudosama, the god of fire. This mysterious man makes his abode in little coop near the botanical gardens. paying monthly below the paper window Is written:
 ''The worshiping place Of the wood eating hermit"
 Day and night one can see the flare of fire on the paper window and low voice can be heard, says the East and West News. Every passer feels a queer sensation as he goes by. The visitor knocked at the dismal-looking entrance. The one who came to an- swer was the mysterious man. He looked to be about fifty-iive and in his brawny and reflective features he showed a magnetic smile.
 IL seems he began his pious life by scorching his body with lighted candle to save the life of his sick child. He lasted 2l days and prac- ticed water meditation. The child re covered. His faith grew stronger. For % years past he has touched no rice or other cereal. Before the visitor he chewed some laurel leaves. Fifty of these. five raw potatoes. a little salt and water. were his daily fare. He is said to effect miraculous cures.

In the corner of the house next to the fireplace is handy bookcase built beneath fancy glas, window. A larger window is situated on the other side of the fireplace. Int dining room is entered through 6 cased opening fanked with bookcases
 A three-windOw bay is built into tho wall of the dining room and a buffet is set against the inside wall. The room Is a square, which is the best shape for a dining room, since there Is plenty of space on all sides of the table when it is placed in the center of the room. The kitchen is in the rear of the dining room and may be entered through a swinging door.
 The ability of the architect is ably Illustrated in the arrangement of the kitchen. Every convenience of Ugh, and airy kitchen. a carefully planned pantry and a breakfast porch are here combined in one room. A table in which the sink is set runs along the side wall, with a window above it One cupboard is located conveniently across the dividing wall between the kitchen and the dining room. and an. other is built into the outside corner above the space occupied by the re frigerator. Across the room Is a little breakfast-nook table with a seat built on each side. This little table will save many steps in serving breakfast and will commend itself in many o..er ways. There Is ample room for a stove against the inside wall.
 Another feature which will find ia. vor with most people is the bedroom and toilet on the first floor. These rooms are entered from a hall leading toward the rear of the house. past the stair, from the living room. This hap Is also connected with side entry by & flight of four steps.

 There are few peonle ~hn do not de- sire an air of coziness in their home that suggestion of snugness which seems a part of the little bungalow and extends an invitation 10 all who pass by to come into the little home where comforts are provided in every nook and corner. This quality seems 10 be always associated with a small home, and those who must have a larger house are often led to discard their desire in this direction and cen ter their attention on arrangement of rooms only.
 Perhaps the arrangement of rooms is of initial importance in planning 6 house, since the family will naturally derive the greatest benefits from hv- ing in 1t rather than standing on the outside where they can enjoy the out ward appearance of it. but there is more than one reason why the home builder should expect the architect to extend the nicety of his design to ex- terior details and why he should him

dreams of the home builder had pie fured 1t.
 In the illustration shown here a house is pictured which has every ap- pearance of a little bungalow, with all of the coziness and homelike atmos- phere usually associated with such a house, and with more than the usual attention paid to details of finish. Yet q glance at the floor plans will show that seven large rooms have been tucked away within, and no sugges- tion of crowding is evident. The de- sign is an exceptional one from every standpoint.
 The sides of the house are finished with alternate wide and narrow rows of beveled siding, having fancy panel work set up under the gables. The porch rail is built up from the ground line with rough brick, capped with an svsshanging ledge Of brick turned up

 broau curve. The wide expanse of roof is broken by the formers, which are very artistically designed. The ends of all rafters are exposed and a unique touch is added in the use of heavy exposed purlins, built up of three lengths of timber, under the

PLUG STEPPER THAT
IS COPING EVENTS

Some time ago a little dinner party
was in progress in the New Harper
cafe in this city. In the party among
others were Gus Rooster, j. l.. Buck
ley and George Price of Davenport and
Carl Mueller, manager Of the Harper
house.
The conversation had drifted from
politics to business and back again
to politics. Say fellows" interrupt
ed Mr.. Rooster, Il have a mighty
speedy plug horse which l took in
payment today for a a debt. How
much will you give me for it?'
Messrs. Miller, Price and Buck
ley decided to look the plug" over
and if it proved as promising as Mr..
Rooster represented, to make him an
offer. So the following day all the
gentlemen went to Davenport, took
the animal out to the mile track,
hitched it to a pneumatic sulky and
with Mr. Mueller holding the reins,
sent it around the track.
The animal simply flew around
that track 1t was with difficulty
Mr.. Mueller could keep his seat and
hold onto the lines. The intended pur
chasers next went to Mr. Rooster. Mr..
Mueller was selected as their spokes-
man Il don't think much of that
plug but we are willing to take a
chance on him to the extent of $780,"
said Mr. Mueller. Mr. Rooster ac-
cepted the terms and the bargain was
closed.
Messrs. Mueller. Price and Buckley
at once became elated over their ac-
