Here's False Econonnv

An important point In a roof is the
use Of a proper nail. Many builders
nowadays lay a shingle roof with Or
binary steel wire nails, instead of
3h or 4d galvanized cut iron
nails, writes Arthur Newton Pack in
the American Forestry Magazine of
Washington. The steel wire nails are
much easier for the carpenter to hold
In his mouth, as well as somewhat
cheaper, and more readily obtained,
but they rust very quickly under the
influence Of the wood acids. As time
passes these nails thus permit the
single to buckle and warp, and in
event Of fire the loosened pieces read
lily fly off and become a menace to
neighboring property. Why use %
year single with a f1ve-year nail7

Too Many Commandments.

Lord Leverhulme some time ago
bought an island off the coast of Scot
land, with view to improving the lot
of its 10000 inhabitants, mostly small
farmers, farm workers and fisher-folk.
Lord Leverhulme's lawyer drew up a
very elaborate contract TO be signed
by each tenant. 1t contained no fewer
than 20 clauses or stipulations.
Zone old fellow" relates Lord Ls7-
erhulme with great gusto, returned
the contract unsigned and sent with
it this note: 4 havena been able to
keep the ten commandments for the
sake of a mansion in heaven, and I'll

"Dark Continent" Through All Earth's
Ages, Has Flung Out Its Chal-
Ienqe to the Bold.

To imaginative youth Africa stands
for mystery, endless deserts, jungles
and dark forests, towering snOw-clad
peaks, the lost Mountains of the Moon.
cataractS beside which Niagara is a
small affair, multitudes of black slaves,
elephants, lions, camels and other
strange deniZens of the zoo. 1t means
ruins of ancient cities, great gold
camps, diamond mines, strange tribes,
and stranger customs, cannibals and
pyramids. 1t is the land of adventure,
writes John Hays Hammond.
To the student Africa means de-
strOyed nations, vast tOmbs and the
thoughts of men long dead, given to
US to read on miles of stone carvings.
1t is still the land of adventure.
70 the hard-headed, unrOmantiC bust
ness man, who cares nothing for the
past and little for the future, ii is the
land of greatest risks and quickest re-
turns. 1t means miles of mills grind
ing out gold day and night, without
ceaSing, grinding it out literally by the
tOn-the greatest gold camp on earth,
a vast black army of Katlirs digging
forever in endless underground gal
lerieS. 1t means diamond fields, sup
plying the whole world with those
sparkling stones; copper, too, and zinc,
lead, tin, iron, coal, rubber, ivory, palm
oil and spices. 1t is still the land of
adventure.
To the statesman and philosopher
Africa beckOns with q seductive finger.
During thousands and thousands of
years every great race of mankind has
marched into that Mysterious CONT
nent. They have built cities and found
ed countless colonies, but a fatal
blight has ended all; the very black
the death that turks within her. The
tracks of a hundred nations all point
inland, but none return.
Thick walls were built by VascO da
Cana along Africa's shores, and the
continent was laid at the feet of his
sOvereign-in vain. Napoleon touched
it for a moment, fought a romantic
battle, and wisely withdrew. The fierce
Turk held a corner of it for time, and
his power has crumbled to dust. Lat
est to appear on the scene are the ma
tons of modern Europe, whose strug-
giles for possession of it's vast areas
and incalculable wealth have been like
those of pack of wolves. 1t is still
the land of adventure.
But today a nation has been newly
founded in Africa-the only one prop
erly to be so called, since Egypt, the
land Of the dead, persisted as a power.
Its boundaries reach from the Congo
to the Cape. In itself 1t constitutes a
mighty empire, and it owes its crea-
ton mainly to the genius of Cecil John
Rhodes,

Roof of Mount Xernon.

The wood shingle roof on George
Washington's home at Mount Vernon
was repaired by him in 1875 and was
not again repaired until 1904 life Of
20 years, says the American Forestry
Magazine of Washington There have
been many instances found where
shingle roofs have lasted satisfactor-
lily for fifty years. 1t is not at all
unreasonable to attribute such a life
time to cedar when we consider that
the old sarcophagi in which some Of
the Egyptian kings were buried three
thousand years ago are still found in
fairly sound condition.

And missed a double play.
He threw into the bleachers twice,
He let pop fly fall;
Oh, we were all ashamed of him,
When father played baseball.
He tried to run, but tripped and fell,
He tried to take a throw;
1t put three fingers out of joint,
And father let it go.
He stopped a grounder with his face;
Was spiked. nor was that all;
1t looked to us like suicide,
When father played baseball.
At last he limped away. and now
He suffers in disgrace:
His arms are bathed in liniment;
Court plaster hides his face.
He says his back is breaking, and
His legs won't move at all;
1t made wreck of father when
He tried to play baseball.
The smell of arnica abounds;
He hobbies with cane:
A row of bIisters mar his hands;
He is in constant pain.
But lame and weak as father IS,
He swears he'll lick us all
If we dare even speak about
The day he played baseball.

When Father PLAYED Baseball

The smell of arnfca is strong,
And mothers time is spent
In rubbing fathers arms and. back
With burning Iinimcnt.
The house is like druggists shop:
Strong cdors fill the hall.
And day and night we hear him rroal
Since father played baseball.
He's past forty. but he declared
That he was young as ever:
And in his youth. he said. he was
\ baseball player clever
So when the business men arranged
A game. they came to call
On dad and ask him ii he tLought
That he could play baseball

says:
The first locomotive to run on
the Richmond branch road from
Stanford, and also the first to run
into Mt. Vernon, was "Od No.
A." 1t was used in delivering
rails and ties to both of these di-
visions of the Louisville & Nash
vile railroad during track laying,
which was going on at the same
time, from August to November,
1868. That locomotive is still
hauling light passenger trains
over various divisions. 1t makes
the run between Lexington and
Paris at times. While it still
uses the old number, there cannot
be much of its original machinery
in its makeup today. 1t was
