than scant material. 1t is full enough
for comfortable walking. The over
skirt is laid in four plaits at each
side of the front and in box plaits
across the back. 1t is boFdered at the
front with six narrow folds of silk,
and they give it very slight flare at
the bottom.
The bodice is an affair for an ex-
pert dressmaker to describe, and the
uninitiated fashion reporter can only
marvel at it. 1t is draped away from
the vest at the waistline and orna-
mented with folds of silk that extend
themselves TO the skirt. A tab of EN-
broidery lends line of bright color TO
the sedate tones of the cloth and silk
folds and repeats the design (of
which there is a glimpse) that covers
the vest. The bodice appears to be in
one piece, with the skirt at the back.
Full straight sleeves are shirred in
at the wrists and bordered with fur,
and soft muffler collar of fur pro-
tects the throat. Any of the soft wool
! fabrics might be used in a dress Of
this kind, and it is more than likely
that we shall see it made in satin.

BoAsTER NEVER GOOD Man
He Who Really Does Things Does Nex
Need to Call Others Atten-
tion TO Them.

1t is an old, familiar saying that he
who excuses himself accuses himself.
So it is with the man who would exalt
himself by boasting. He, too, accuses
himself.
To boast is to feel the need of boast
ing, remarks the Irish World. The

man is too busy planning new achieve.
ments to stop 70 plume himself on
past ones. Besides, he is not worrying
about the opinion others hold of HIM
He knows that he is doing well and
that he can continue to do well. That
is enough for him. He is quite content
to let his work speak for itself.
The boaster, on the contrary, by the
very fact of his boasting, betrays a
curious lock of self-confidence. His
boasting amounts to a confession that
he is surprised at himself for ever
having done anything worth boastinz
about The discerning recognize this
and appraise the boaster accordingly.
Also they know that even those
whom his boasting might delude would
be repelled by. the egotisIn which the
boasting indicates all too plainly. This
means that he would find it hard to
get along with others and would be
that much more handicapped for ary
| genuine achievement.
If, then, you notice in yourself any
tendencies to boastfulness, consider
their significance. Always remember
that the. more you. boast the less likely
are you to accomplish things that are
really worth WHILE.

WILL ON TORN BIT OF PAPER
Maine Hermit, Who Had Been Thought
PenniIess, Left Thousands
to Nephew.

The will of Charles Purinton. who
died in this city last July, was ad-
mitted to probate recently, according
to an Auburn, Me-, correspondent OF
the Boston Globe. 1t was written on
a torn and ragged piece of paper by
the testator.
1t was as follows:
Auburn, Me-, May 8. 1914. The Per
son who finds this give it to Ralph b
Locke. will all my estate to him, 10
pay $1O0 to all other heirs, and set q
stone for Inc in the yard. Charles
Purinton. Witnesses, ]. P. Hutchin-
son, Samuel Ashwell, I. V. McKenney."
All of the witnesses to the viii are
dead and the will was proved by prov
ing the handwriting of the witnesses.
When Mr.. Purinton died he was sup
posed to be practically pauper, but
after his death, bankbooks showing de-
posits of more than $4,000 were found
in the little old house at Marstona
Corner, in which he had lived for 80
years as a hermit, with hardly tbs
necessities of life. Mr.. Locke, to
whom he left his estate, is a nephew.
Mr.. Locke not long ago went to the
house at Marston's Corner and found
an old wallet hidden among the mat
tresses of the he'd. In the wallet he
found the will, and tied up with it a
worn and battered copy of the New
Testament

are so many different patterns thai
mistakes may occur in filling an order
so it is good plan to get all such
orders off to the factory a long time
before the machines are needed. The
difference between preparing good
seedbed in the spring or doing a hur-
ry-up job at the fag end of the seed
ing season depends more upon manage
ment in this respect than upon hard
work or extensive seeding outfits.
A good implement shed is valuable
acquisition to any farm, because it
places farmer in position to attend
to little things at the proper time to
prevent trouble later.
In building an implement shed it is
good plan to use plenty of concrete
in the foundation, and if it has con-
crete floor the full size of the build
ing, the machines may be moved about
much easier.
The object of a machinery shed is to
protect farm implements and machines
| from the weather. If machines stand
on the ground, moisture comes up from
| below sufficient at times to rust every
| iron part of a machine that is not GOV
cred with paint, oil or grease.
A floor for the purpose of preventing
! this damage should be made the way
| a sidewalk is constructed. The ground
is laid off in divisions or 5 feet ir
width by 2-by-4 that is held in place
by stakes. The top of the 2-by-4 il

ing spring. Both of them are finished
with small satin-covered buttons.
Soutache braid, which has already
had great vogue, decorates the lower
part of the blouse and the peplum with
simple scroll pattern. The braid is
sewed along one edge in the manner
introduced by Paris milliners in the
present season. 1t does not lie fiat

"Oh, how they tossed and chased

the trees and skinned along the
ground. And then they would fly up

That's Gratitude.

Conrad Keller, justice of the peace,
was for so years druggist in Indian
apolis. and many years ago, Keller
says, when he was a single man, he
slept in room in the rear of his drug
store.
Late one night, after he had gone to
bed. he heard a knock at the front
door, and arose and opened it. A man
living in the neighborhood entered and
asked whether he might use the tele-
phone to call the doctor for his little
daughter, who was seriously i'll. The
request was granted.
About noon the next day the same
man again entered the store and asked
to use the telephone a second time.
Sure" said Keller. ''By the way.

door in the side to be used when pass
ing in and out and for the carrying
in of hand tools and other small farm
implements.
Farm machinery and implements
depreciate about 10 per cent year
when they are properly housed and
kept painted. The loss from leaving
tools out in the weather Is enormous.
An implement shed constructed in this
manner is great convenience in doing
repair work.
All farm machines require overhaul
ing in the winter time to put them in
a thorough working condition during
the busy time in spring. A house of
this kind makes it easy to take the
machines apart and examine every
wheel and every casting, so that the
worn parts may be replaced and the
whole machine gone over with paint or
linseed oil.
This implement house has concrete
wall extending all around the outside
Fulton County tribune. (Wauseon, Ohio) 1883-1925, 1917-01-12

and it has concrete floor to keep the
tools and machinery up from the
ground and to keep them dry to pre-
vent ruSting.
The sides and ends are built in the
usual way by using light sill and
2-by-4 studding covered with drop sid
ing or clapboards. The roof is con-
structed by 2-by-4 rafters with matched
roofing boards covered with roll roof
ing. The advantage in using matched
roofing boards is to prevent the wind
from Tapping the roll roofing. Good
roofing boards will sometimes double
the lasting qualities of the roof.
Some farmers build regular repair
shop in one end or in the center. The
shop is provided with a blacksmith kit
and all the necessary woodworking
tools to make small repairs on any
farm machine or implement; such
work as replacing lost bolts or broken
braces, or replacing worn parts with
new ones is done in the winter time,
between chore. periods.
But q farmer is helpless without
tools. 1t is not necessary to collect
an expensive outfit of blacksmiths s
machinist's or carpenters tools, but q
forge, anvil, wise, drillpress. with a
small assortment of cold chisels
punches, hammers, wrenches and tongs
will enable farmer to do good deal
of blacksmith tinkering and save many
trips to town during the busy season
when time is an object.
A few carpenters tools, such a:
saws, square, couple of good heavy
hammers, with brace and bits and {
few wrenches and half a dozen chiseli
will give q handy farmer enough tool:
to do extensive repairing.

When the Tongue Is Coated.

Time was when coated tongue was
associated only with impaired diges-
tive organs, but science has now found
that many other things beside diges-
tive troubles may produce marked
changes in the appearance of the
tongue. If the base of the skull is
fractured, the tongue will acquire a
heavy coating. This fact leads to the
belief that various disturbances of the
nerves affect the appearance of the
tongue. Therefore, if your tongue is
furred, don't jump to the conclusion
that your stomach is upset; it is just
as likely that your nerves are upset by
overwork, eye-strain. lack of sleep or
the multitude of other causes that eff
feet the nerves.

Most farmers do not care to allow
the money they spend in farm ma
,chinery to be wasted by the rapid dete-
Irioration of this machinery from ex-
posure to the elements Quite often
1t is possible to give up a portion of
one of the barns to the implement
storage space. The combined horse
barn and implement shed is a common
and useful structure. There are ad-
vantages in building an entirely sep
arate structure for housing the farm
implements. AS a rule there are
enough duties to be performed in con-
nection with the maintenance of farm
machinery to warrant the construc-
ton of separate building. A farm
workshop is a necessary thing and the
implement shed furnishes an excellent
location for it.
The type of structure will depend
to certain extent upon the farm up
on which it is located, but there are a
few things which should be included
in such structure, no matter what its
surroundings. The floor construction
and the arrangement and size of doors
should be given considerable attention
The design illustrated here suggests d
structure which is well adapted to the
purpose, and the cost of its erection
is not excessive.
