HOW AMATEUR CAN
 BUILD A RECEIVER
instructions for Setting Up the
 Antenna and for Assembling the Tuner.

In order to pick up sufficient energy with the simple radio receiving set 1t Is necessary to connect one termi- nal to an antenna consisting of one or more wires suspended in the air and insulated from all grounded material and the other terminal to ground, usually the water supply pipe. The height of an antenna used with a small receiver should not be less than 30 feet. As the received energy va ries directly as the height of an anten- na, the higher the ,antenna the louder will be the signals or voice produced. The length of an antenna for short wave reception should not be less than 90 feet nor should 1t be longer than POO feet. The minimum wave length to which a simple receiver can be adjusted for electrical resonance will be above that used by amateurs If the receiver be connected to an an tenna POO feet or more in length.
 A simple radiophone receiver cap able of picking up radiophone sta tions similar to KDKA at East Pitts burgh, can be assembled by novice

KEEP YOUNG

People with bad backs and weak kidneys are apt to feel old at sixty. Many old folks say Doan's Kidney Pills help them keep young. Here's a Canaan case:
 Mrs. P. c. Carey, Box 427, says: "An attack of the "f1u", weakened and badly disordered my kidneys. suffered continually with backache and the least little work weakened my back so that I had to sit down during the day. Sweeping, dusting or hopping came hard as every time I bent, had sharp, cutting pains in it. Specks would appear before my eyes and blur my sight. My kidneys acted too freely. Through someone's advice, began using Doan's Kidney Pills and few boxes relieved the dreadful backaches and regulated the action of my kidneys. I am getting to be an old woman now and although | am able to take care of my work about the house, I need a good kidney medicine to keep my kidneys in good condition. I depend on Doan's Kid ney Pills which I get at Dempsey's Pharmacy"

Brimstead does as we'll raising cities as he did raising grain. He was a very successful farmer"
 T knew you'd make fun O me but when you come again you'll see the towers an steeples." said Brimstead. "Put up your horses and come into the house and see the first lady Of El Dorado"
 Mrs. Brimstead had their dinner cooking before the horses were cared for. Well, what do you think of Henry's plans?" she asked.
 1T like the farm better"
 ''SSo do l." the woman declared. "But the men around here have gone crazy with dreams of sudden wealth.
 'Pve only word of advice about 1t. If those Chicago men sell any more of your land make them take the notes and you take the money. Where is Annabel?" '..-
 Teaching the school at Hopedale."
 Were going up to Chicago to see the Kelsos," said Samson.
 "Glad you are. Some rich feller up there by the name of Davis has fallen in love with Bim an he don't give her any peace. He left here last night goin' north. Owns a lot O land in Tazewell county an wears a diamond in his shirt as big as your thumb nail. Bim has been teaching school in Chicago this winterI It must be a wonderful place.

 Abe Lincoln and Harry entered with their host and the travellers sat down to a luncheon of pudding and milk and doughnuts and pie.
 "How far do you call 1t to the syca- more woods9" Lincoln asked as they rose from the table.
 About thirty mile," said Brim- stead.
 "We must be off if we are to get there before dark" the young states man declared.
 They saddled their horses and mounted and rode up to the door. Aft sr tseir acknowledgements and fare wells Brimstead came close to Sam son and said in confidence: "I enjoy bein' a millionaire for a few minutes now an then.

Tor from S4 to S15, depending upon the builders. ability to use his hands. If the builder will construct most of his apparatus he will appreciate it much more and probably will under stand more about its operation than if he buys set already made. How ever, for those who have not the abil- ity or the time to spend constructing their own apparatus the following de- scription will not only give the details as to the construction of each com ponent part of receiver but also what standard ready-made parts can be purchased and used in is stead.
 The material can be purchased at any electrical supply store.
 In erecting a simple antenna for use with the receiver shown in the diagram, the antenna proper and the lead-in are of stranded hard-drawn copper wire, strand No 9, costing about 1 cent per foot. The two insu- lators are of molded material and can be purchased for about 25 cents each. The antenna shown is supported be- tween house and pole. It may be found more convenient to support 1t between tree and house, two houses or even between two chimneys on the same house. In bringing down the lead-in care should be taken that it is kept as far away from grounded material as possible and when bring ing through the wall or under the win dow into the house 1t should be brought through some sort of an insulating tube, such as rubber or bakelite.
 Tn making the ground connection the same kind of wire can be used as, was purchased for the antenna. You can clean a section of the waterpipe thoroughly and solder the ground wire to it.

a1mosc ns g0oC us 1ae money WIil.e they lest" said Abe Lincoln with laugh.
 At early candlelight they reached the sycamore woods very hungry. It was a beautiful grovelike forest on the shore of a stream. The crossing was a rough bridge of corduroy. A crude log tavern and a cruder store stood on the farther shore of the creek. The tavern was a dirty place with drunken proprietor. Three ragged, shiftless farmers and "a half breed Indian sat in its main room in varying stages of inebriacy. A we'll dressed, handsome young man with a diamond in his shirt-front was lead ing a horse back and forth in the stable yard. The diamond led Samson to suspect that he was the man Davis of whom Mrs. Brimstead had spoken. Our travellers, not liking the look of the place, got some oats and rode on, camping near the farther edge of the woods, where they built fire, fed and tethered their horses and sat down and ate from the store in their saddle bags.
 p Then with their knives Abe and Samson cut big armfuls of grass from the near prairie for the horses and a bed upon which the three man lay down for the, night.
 Samson had that gift of sleeping with one eye open" which the perils of the wilderness had conferred upon the pioneer. He had lain down on the side of their bed near the horses, which were tethered to trees only a few feet away. He had gone to sleep with his pistol under his right hand.

THE MAN FOR THE AGES

 "Give it a fair chance" Brimstead went pn 1.-Two cellars have been dug over there in the pasture. One is for the town hall and the other for the university which the Methodists are going to build. A railroad has been surveyed and is expected this sum- mer Every corner lot has been sold and paid for, half cash and half notes
 ''The brokers Tn Chicago got the cash and you got the notes%
 You've said it. I've got. a drawer full of notes"
 "And you've quit farmin'Y'
 Say, I'll tell ye the land has gone up so it wouldn't pay. Peasley an I carate that we're goin' to, git rich this summer sellin' lots"
 "Wake up, man. You're dreamin'," said Samson.
 Henry came close to Samson and said in confidential tone: "Say. mebbe the whole state is dreamin' an yellin' in its sleep bout canals an schools an factories an' mills an rail- roads. We're havin' good time, any way.'
 This reminded Abe Lincoln of the story:
 'There was man in Pope county who came home one evening and sat down in the middle of the barn floor and began to sing. His wife asked him:
 "'Are you drunk or crazy or a foolY". "
 "T don't know what you'd call It. but know ain't got darn bit to spare he answered, with a whoop of joy"
 aYou're all goin' to roll out O. bed and hit the floor with a bump," said Samson.
 Brimstead declared in his usual tone of confidence: { ''The worst part O bein' a fool is lonesomeness. I was the only one in Flea valley. Now shall be In the com pany of a governor an dozens O we'll known statesmen. You'll be the only lonesome man in Illinois,"

"HoId Up Your Hands," Samson
 Shouted.


 Late in the night he was awakened by an unusual movement among the horses. In the dim light of the fire he could see a man in the act of bridling Abe's horse. ..-" ts. -.
 Hold up your hands," Samson shouted as he, covered the man with his pistol. If ye stir a foot I'll bore a hole in ye"
 The man threw up his hands and stood still.
 In half moment Abe Lincoln and Harry had got up and captured the man and the loosed horse. r This is part of the entry which Samson made in his diary a week or so1later: rs
 "Harry put some wood on the fire while Abe and I led him up into the light. He was one of the dirty white men we had seen at the tavern.
 "I'H give you four hundred dollars for hoss in good Michigan money he said.
 eff ye can't steal horse you're willin' to buy one,' I says.
 "'No, sir. I only come to buy says he. s. .-s..,. - II Topped him sudden and asked him why he was putting on the bridle. He owned up then. Said a man had hired him to steal the horse. That man has got to have hoss.' he said. Hell give ye any price ye want to ask If you'll give me few dollars I'll take ye to him.
 "'You go and bring him here and I'll talk to him. I said.
 II let the feller go. I didn't SUD- pose he'd come back, but he did. Came little before sunrise with that well-dressed feller we saw at the tavern.
 "'What's your namer I says.
 "He handed me card on which read the words Lionel Davis, Real Es- tate, Loans and Insurance, IA South Water Street, Chicago, H. .=r.
 "'Theres one branch O your busi- ness that isn't mentioned on the card says.
 "'What's thatT says he. 'Horse-thief,'' says l. You sent that feller here to steal a horse and he got caught
 "'Well told him if he'd get me good horse I'd give him five hundred dollars and that I didn't care how he got him. The fact Is I'm desperate. I'll give you thousand dollars for one of your horses
 "'You couldn't buy one of 'em at any price, said. There's two reasons. I wouldn't do business with horsethief and no money would tempt me to sell ain animal to be ridden to death.'
 "The two thieves had had enough of us and they got out"
 That night our party camped on the shore of the Kankakee and next day they met the contractors. Lincoln joined the latter party and Harry and Samson went on alone. Late that af- ternoon. they crossed the nine-mile prai-
