money In the larger house, will give
the owner more satisfaction than he
could obtain from the slightly larger
rooms and the more bulky appearance.
Another thing which home builders
should think about is the expense of
finishing and furnishing the new
house. 1t Is largely through the effect
of these items that the house is trans
formed into the home, although 1t Is
necessary. of course, to incorporate the
fundamental homellke qualities into
the house itself. At any rate, a lib
eral allowance should be set aside for
the purchase of articles Of furniture,
hangings and other decorative or utlli-
tartan objects; the amount of this al
lowance is variable, depending some
what upon the characteristics of the
owner and somewhat upon the charac-
teristics of the house.

items Of expense which do not enter
into the original estimate. 1t seems
unavoidable that the cost Of a house
will be more than the estimate indi-
Gates. The man who has had expert
ence in building and finishing houses
usually figures small percentage of
the estimated investment as a reserve
to make up for items of this sort.
The advice of the experienced to the
inexperienced builder of homes would
probably be: "Plan house which is
just the size you think you need and
then build it one-third smaller" The
chances are that the increased quality

before the house Is entered. The bun
galow idea is evident in the broad, low
lines Of the roof and several unique
features have expressed themselves in
the exterior design. The heavy ex-
posed timbers arranged in pairs under
the roof given an air of distinction to
the house. The gable of the porch
roof materially sets off the front of the
house and the entire porch design is
very effective. The rail is low and is
carried out to extend the porch be-
yond the columns in line with the side
of the house. Two posts are set at the
outside corners of this extended pOr-
ton Of the porch. Flower baskets set
upon these posts would produce a very
artistic effect. The sides Of the house
are finished with beveled siding and
the window trim is little out of the
ordinary, in keeping with other fea-
lures of exterior design.
A small vestibule is entered from the
porch, and this leads into the hall
from which the various rooms of the
| first floor and the stairs to the second
floor are reached. The large living
room has fireplace set into one cor
| ner. Four windows are built into the
side wall of the house in this room, and
one large window is placed at the
| front. The living room Is always q
pleasure room in which the fireplace is
set into one corner, but it Is seldom
that this is possible without interfer.
ing with the arrangement of some 9th.
er part of the house.
The dining room is in the rear of the
living room. The buffet is built against
the rear wall with a wide window
above it. Four windows occupy the
side wall in this room, similar to the
arrangement in the living room. A
hall leads past the pantry to the kitch

The Accused Bell of Vera Cruz

out, and that it be banished to Mexico.
The manned bell was carried to the
coast amid the insults and curses of
the people, and when the great silver
tiota sailed to the Spanish Main that
year, one of the galleOns took the bell
and carried it to Vera Cruz, where it
lay for many years, properly feared
and loathed by all.
Again years passed, and again men
forgot the tale. After a century, a
new vicerOy asked why so beautiful a
bell was not used, and directed that it
be set in the clock tower of the palace.
AS it had no tongue, the workmen,
luckily for the peace of Vera Cruz,
put it solidly into place and adjusted
hammer that struck the bell from
the outside. This hammer, being
made from perfectly honest Mexican
metal, had no curse on it and as nat
ural consequence the bell remained per-
fectly sedate and never alarmed Vera
Cruz by striking anything but the
hours.
1t would, no doubt, be there yet, had
the French soldiers not arrived. They
took it down and melted it, intending
to cast 1t into cannon.
Then the curse made itself manifest
again, for the last time so far as any,
body knows. The iron refused to run.
1t turned sour" as is testified by
veracious chroniclers who saw it. And
1t chilled suddenly into a monStrous
shape that was so assuredly not of this
earth that even the fearless soldados
of Napoleon were frightened. Hurried
ly they took the gruesome thing away
and cast it out, beyond the city.
There it lies to this day and every
good man must pray that it never shall
be found again.

BURY OLD GRUDCE
Hughie Jennings and Connie
Mack Friends Again.
They "FeH Out" Over the
World Series of 1911.
by JACK VEIOCK

New York, Aug. 10.-A ghost of the
1911 world series was dus up recently
during the second visit of the Detroit
Tigers to Philadelphia.
Hughie Jennings, the fiery manager
of the Bengsls, was seen to converse
with Conrie Mack in a friendly man
ner, a thing which he has not done
since he had a falling out with Mack
six years ago. So someone asked Jen-
nings if the feud was at an end, and
he said:
Yes, Connie and I have buried the
Ratchet. We did it on the last west
ern trip of the Athletics and I'm glad
of it, for 1 always liked Mack.
Perhaps the memory of Jennings's
trouble with Connie Mack is a bit
rusty with some of the fans, but to
refresh it here is the story;
When the Tigers were preparing to
battle the Pirates in the worlds Sc
ries of 1909 Jennings went to John
McGraw for some information regard
ing the Pittsburgh club ard McGraw,
a friend of Jennings for years, told
him what he knew about the strong
and weak points of the Pittsburgh
club.
Jennings Returned Favor.
Two years later McGrav piloted the
Giants to the National League cham
pionship, and when he was getting
ready to steer the team into the
worlds series with the Athletics he
called on Jennings to return the favor
he had done him when Detroit met
the Pirates.
Jennings gladly told McGraw all he
knew about Connie Mack's pitchers
and about the club in general and
when Mack heard of it he got good
and sore on Jennings TO- what he
thought was an unjust act, consider
ing Jennings was an American Leag-
uer. Mack was so peeVed that he
broke off all relations with Jennings
and the two didn't speak until July
of this year. But the hatchet's buried
now, for time heals all wounds, and
Mack and Hughie are friends once
more,

CBy Review Leased Wire }

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. S.-Promi-
nent German officials regularly at
tended meetings of the Italian revolu-
tionary society in Berlin when ways
and means were considered for over
throwing British rule in India. This
and other accusations which linked
alleged German consular Hindu plot
activities in San Francisco with cimi-
lar activities in Manila, Berlin, Genoa,
Shanghai and other places were in
corporated in a document filed in the
district court here today.
The charges are contained in a copy
of testimony given by John Sinkh,
accused of having conspired to for
ment military uprising against Brit
ish rule in India, and who recently
pleaded guilty in preference to testi-
flying as a government witness against
his 81 fellow defendants on trail here.
Jodh Singh has petitioned the court
for permission to change his plea. He
said he was not aware of the nature
of his plea at the time it was enter
ed. The United tSates attorney de-
clares this to be untrue, and in an
affidavit filed today, appends a copy
of Jodh's testimony given before a
British military court in Singapore in
1915, when Jodh was arrested in sup
port of his contention that the witness
was thoroughly aware of mis- status
and rights in the case.
Jodh was considered one of the
prosecutions star witnesses. II was
expected that his testimony would
prove OF the most salient facts brought
forth by the government.
