like those that in other households, are
bought for small boys and girls, says
the indianapolis News.
The other day new maid came into
the house. She was tidying up the liv.

from under couch she gave shrek
of terror and ran into the yard, where
some carpenters were at work.
"There's some kind of beast In
there" she said, "and I'm scared al.
most to death.
A gallant young carpenter offered to
90 in and tackle the animal In Its lair.

| have had a chance to look up
the fence law jnst published. 1t
has been reported that the law was
80 stringent that lawful fence
could not be built, that the posts
had to be five inches, etc.
A fence with posts two rods
apart, set eighteen inches in the
ground, 3 inches in diamater where
the top wire is fastened, three
barbed wires, not less than l3 gage
and stay midway between the
posts is a lawful fence. Height
of fence is 45 inches at top wire.
1t was claimed that posts had to be
five inches. The five inch post is
for q board fence.
The reports are along the same
line as those that said the fence

quired four barbed wires.
