These words of Maude Moore (AIrs.
Stubbs), We're uttered amid sobs today
during her cross examinations in her trial
for killing Leroy Harth here in Septem-
Der of 1919. She related in detail the
events of that fatal night how she met
him primarily for the purpose of getting
a revolver she had loaned him and of
their trip in his automobile in which, she
alleges, he attempted to subject her to an
indignity. She told Of a scuff1e that fol-
lowed during which her revolver fell from
Harths pocket, how both attempted to
seize it from the roadway and how she
beat him to it and then used it with
deadly effect despite the pain from a
blow which she said Harth had dealt
her.
She also told of her flight from Knox

The door may be of dimensions to
suit. If the outfit is to be used merely
to confine the birds, only a small door
will be necessary. bnt if it is desired
to open it and permit them to fly in.
the door should be about fourteen
inches wide by eighteen inches high.
The purpose of the small rope Is
to provide a means of opening and
closing the door easily. The strip
running across the top to which the
screw pulley is attached should ex-
tend far enough out to permit the
door to open its full capacity. Adjust
this pulley so that the rope may run
back to the building at an angle IN
order that the pull from the ground
will be nearly straight. If desired
the door may be placed near one end.
The cote is to be fastened to the
side of a building or any other place
desired, additional security being OBJ
tanned by the brace running from the

WHEN YOU GO CAMPING

mi T is always a good thing when you
b are on camping trip to know how
81 10 build a fire. Remember these
y simple rules, and you will have the
knowledge to make yourself popular
on that next camping trip. Never
build fire near any foliage or in a
place where it is likely to spread to
nearby trees or shrubs. 1t is always
a good plan to build a small pit of
stones in which you can in safety lay
your twigs for the fire. Have a space
around this pit cleared of any leaves
or twigs that might catch fire. The
first thing to have to build a camp
fire is a good sized box of matches
The second thing to have is stock
of dry paper to lay at the bottom
of your fire for a good start. On top
of the paper lay small dry twigs loose
ly together so that a draft can get in
under the twigs and then light your
fire from the bottom. If most of the

1t is divided into five sections. Lay
out the openings with compass and
cut to shape with a coping or turning
saw.
The construction of the frame will
not be difficult Only dimensions for
width and height are shown, as the
others may be adjusted to suit the
material you will have to work with.
The frame does not need to be made
from heavy material.
The bottom Is to be made from
trellis strips spaced about one-ha.f
inch apart. This will permit the birds
to walk easily and also make 1t easy
to clean the inside.
The entire frame is to be covered
with chicken wire. Where it runs
over the roof at the ends, secure it in
such a manner that a small space will
be provided for the removal of ma
terial that may collect on the roof at
these points.

AN ANECDOTE

n NE day as Tsar Peter was return
I'D ing from a hunting trip he hap
W pened to loiter behind the rest of
his party to enjoy the cool air.
As he rode thus alone he saw a boy
standing on the top bar of gate look
ing up and down the road. The Tsar
rode up 10 him and said briskly, well,
what are you looking for, my boy ~
please your honor" said the boy,
Il am looking out for the king"
oh" said the Tsar, IF you will get
up behind me 1 will show him to you"
The boy did as he was bid and as they
were riding along the Tsar said. you
will know the Emperor by seeing the
rest take off their hats to him."
Soon after they came up to the
party who were much surprised to see
their king thus attended and imme-
diately saluted him. Whereupon the
king turned his head and said: Now
do you see who is the King?"
Why" replied the boy archIy. sit is
is one of US two. but I am sure l do
not know which. for both of US have

The king was so much pleased with
the lads wit that he took him into his

and backed into an open door. It
was the door of bed room which
was on the first floor, and which Mil

found it quiet in there and SO she de-
cided to creep under the bed and rest
awhile.
Meanwhile there was a wild search
going on which was at last given up
and Bella had a long nap in piece.
The next thing she knew she was
being disturbed by talking and laugh

ready for bed. Luckily she couldn't
understand what they were saying
about pigs. N.Y. How hungry the
poor creature was.
"It smells terribly musty in here,
but, of course, it's a very old house
and the plaster is all falling down."
remarked Cert.
Just then Mildred began to scream.
