Some sandstones have the disadyan-
tage that they are not as durable as
might be desired. In localities where
large granite powders are plentiful.
blocks of this material may be cut
from the stone. These blocks may be
used either in regular form and size
or in various irregular shapes and
sizes. Rough-faced marble is par
ticularly good material for porch and
chimney construction. Cobblestones,
used just as they are found. have
produced many attractive porches and
chimneys on frame houses. The cob

they should be matched in the walls

too prominent The color of the NOR
tar will depend upon the kind of stone
used and the effect desired. Mortar
which is widely different in color from
the stone will attract more attention
to the porch or chimney than mortar
which has been colored to match the
stone as nearly as possible. Special

Moonshine Wish.

The concentration of troops in Ha-

old comrades of Indian frontier days,

stake all on one chance if he could

and said:
"You must hold this silver dollar in
your left hand, look at the new moon
over your right shoulder. make wish,
and 1t will come true"
The thing was very quickly done,
and they rejoined the party. Later
the hostess asked if the wish had been
made, and, upon being informed that

Rich Man Knows Not What He Wants
The Woman's Home Companion has
an article in which this passage oe-
ours: "The nuisance for the man who
has acquired great financial resources
usually is that he doesn't know what
he wants. Possessing the resources
and feeling the moral necessity to
have recourse to them, he looks about
for something to want, and he selects
the most costly thing. The aequisi-
ton of this most costly thing always
involves, in practice, the separation
Of the rich man from society. Thus.
he will acquire large estate, or sew
eral large estates, and cut himself OF
from the world By gates. doors. miles
of drive, lodgekeepers, menials and
secretaries. Or he viii acquire a g.
000-ton yacht and cross the Atlantic
privately, though less quickly, less
comfortably and even less privately
than en- great liner. Or he viii keep
a private orchestra, instead of being
seen at concerts. All which, though
| magnificent, is antisocial and silly, and
is secretly felt to be so by the rich
man when he happens to wake up in
the middle Of the night and can't go
to sleep again"

Berlin, via Sayville wireless. Dec.

Central News agency says:
''The text of the answer to President
Wilson's note was transmitted in
Berlin to james w. Gerard, the
United States ambassador, and also in
Vienna, Sofia and Constantinople to

Nav buy eovernor,s Mansion.

While Governor Frank B. Willis is
not likely to recommend the purchase
of a governors mansion for Ohio, the
consummation of the project may not
be long delayed by reason of this fail
ure. 1t is stated on authority that no
obstacle will be placed in the way OF
the project by Governor-elect Jamel
M Cox, although it is not probable
that he will make a direct recommen
dation. On retiring from Office two
years ago, Governor Cox urged that a
mansion for the executive be provided
to put Ohio in line with other states
The suggestion is now made that tn,

out of interest earned on the balance
of public funds, state Office building
having been purchased out of the same
interest earnings.

of Franklin county, to his failure to
list for taxation deposits of bonds by
foreign insurance companies with the
state superintendent of insurance in
Columbus, amounting to S1,750,000, the
taxes on which amount to $28,700. At
tention of Hamilton county taxing au.
thorities was called to the fact that
domestic insurance companies there
have real estate mortgages in place OF
bonds, as we'll as bonds amounting tC
s406,S5O, which are subjct to taxation
The United States supreme court held
that such bonds we're taxable, but sub
sequently the Ohio law was amended
requiring that they should not be re
turned for taxation. Former Attorney
General Hogan, in ruling, held that
the amendment was unconstitutional
