Name GOSSIP
Il Takes 4 Man.

1t takes a man to stand alone,
A man whose heart is strong,
To do what he believes is right
And single handed make his fight
When thousands call him wrong.
1t takes a man to turn aside
The popular applause,
To stand against the moving tide
Or multitudes when they deride
AMI not forsake his cause.
It takes a man content to be
Unpopular. uncheered,
To battle conscientiously
For right his fellows may not see
When hatred's head is reared.
Great deeds are seldom born of praise.
With smiles right is not won.
Unpopular are oft the ways
OF him who seeks the truth to raise
Until his work is done.

The scheme has no prototype and lS
merely a screen Of columns open 10 the
sky, iRclosing a homegrown circle.
The material used for the memorial
Is Bethel white granite, the lnscr1p-
tion In the frieze and upon the top OF
the pylons being Of white bronze set
deep into the stone work. The detail,
which on account OF the size OF the
reproduction is only indicated, In en-
tfrely floral In form and free In treat
ment, the wild rose and the morning
glory being used as the main motives.
It is interesting intellectually to note
that, while 1t is extremely free In treat
ment and not at all conventional, 1t Is
generally very classic In feeling. The
extreme width Of the memorial is about
fifty feet, and the colonnade Is eighteen
feet In diameter. The columns them
selves are fifteen feet in height and are
similar i'm general character to those i'm
the Clepsydra Of Andronicus Of Cyr-
rhus. The large pylons were exhibit
ed at the American Institute OF Archi,
lecture in New York a short time ago
and experts pronounced them the finest
pieces of carved granite ever executed.
The architect is EgertOn SwartwOut
of New York City, who designed the
new George Washington memorial, the
new Missouri state capitol and the new
Federal building in Denver.

The beautiful memorial to Mary
Baker Eddy. the Discoyerer and
Founder Of Christian Science, has been
turned over to The Christian Science
Board OF Directors by Gilbert q. Bar
low Of New York City, who held the
Contract for It's CONSTRUCTION.
The memorial, which is at Mt. Au-
burn cemetery, Cambridge. Mass, has
required over a year and a half to
complete. The fund for its construction,
amounting TO over $4,000, was first
announced by the directors in June, 1911
and was some time ago fully subscribed.
These contributions have been made as
expressions of sentiment by Christian
Scientists throughout the world.
The site on which the memorial Is
located is not only one of great nat
ural beauty. but on account OF Its
grade has rendered possible a more
picturesque and interesting treatment
architecturally than would lie possible
on a perfect level lot. The plot. which
is approximately eighty feet square,
slopes gradually from the level of

Dynamite, the Giant Farmer.

In the current issue OF Farm ana
Fireside a writer points out some OF
the various uses Of dynamite on the
farm as follows:
"On my farm we have found that
there are many jobs which come
along in the course Of year which
the stored-up power in a stick OF
dynamite will do quicker and cheaper
than we could do ourselves. We have
used many tons of it, and with few eX-
ceptions the results obtained have
been excellent There is little danger
in the using of dynamite-in fact, alb
solutely no danger whatsoever, pro-
vided one first realizes that he is
handling an explosive and then uses
good, sound common sense.
when | came on the place | found
a plot of about two acres off to the
south from the house and barn. The
soil was a rich loan. and it was get
ting all the drainage from my cow
yard and stables.
II believed that it would make a fine
truck garden, but there were about
200 stumpS on the lot. With the help
of one man | started in to clean the
lot with the use of dynamite. 1t took

us three days, and the cost OF the
dynamite, we used was in the neigh
borhood of $50.
We followed the rule, A pound Of
dynamite for every foot in the dia-
meter Of the stump and in most
cases the stump was removed with a
single charge. On three or four
stnmps we used a double charge. The
DlOsive was in each case placed as
near directly under the stump as
possible.

apple trees and used powder for

have had to remove fruit from these
trees ever; year to prevent their
coming into bearing.
"A similar experience with grape
vines has convinced me that trees and
shrubs will do much better where the
explosive is used either to make the
holes for the original planting or, in
case they are already planted, to
break up the soil about the growing
trees"
