The barns as wef. as the dwellThe ings should be thus supplied cost is small and the convenience great. Many a farmer is carrying water year after year not only for his stock but for the use of the family when the water should be always at hand The chief reason for this is the lifelong habit of the fanner, which he does not see the advantage of changing. Recently a case came to the attention of the writer that shows how a man will hang to an old condition when he has no reason for doing so. A young man from one of the farms went to college and got some new He studied farm mechanics, ideas. and got a little taste for mechanical When he returned to engineering. the farm he saw many things that might be done to increase the comfort of the family and make the work easier. One of the drawbacks of the farm wa the necessity for carrying water some hundreds of feet to the house aia.'he barn, and this water had tc be carried in pails. Moreover, during most of the year the boy's mother had to carry the water that was used The father was opin the kitchen. posed to any improvements and refused to let the boy exercise his ability in making Improvements. On the hill a little way from the house was a perpetual spring sufficiently high above the house so that if a pipe were laid the water would The of itself flow into the kitchen. temptation for the boy to utilize this supjly was so great that he could not resist it. So the first time he went to' town he laid in a supply of pipe and the materials for making joints and connections, with taps and faucets. Then he began his work clandestinely. When his father would be away for half a day or so the young man would dig a trench, lay what pipe he could and, cover it up again before his father got home. He continued this till he had laid the pipe from the spring to the house, had made all at tachments and had the water running into the sink, where his mother could use it at will and without effort. At this stage he was no longer able to Jtep the secret from the head of the house. As it had gone so far the father accepted the fact as accomplished, but he refused permission to the boy to carry the pipe just a little further to the barns. It is a strange thing that people will become so "set in their ways" as not to avail themselves of natural laws, which were created to serve them. WAGON FOR HAULING LOGS.

On the axles, "a, a," can be put pieces of gas pipe for the sake of greater strength. The plate "p" is made of iron and bolted to the hounds, so that the reach will slide easily. There is also a hole to let a pin in to hold the reach. When these pieces are put together the back gear is complete with the exception of the snatch blocks, "b, b." which are bolted on the top to hold the logs in place. These blocks are fastened on by means of a flat piece of iron bolted at either side. The front gear is made like the back, with the exception of the turntable, the sides of which are made of wood and the cross pieces of iron. The sides in the of the turntable are placed notches where the hounds were in the back gear, and the notches are made straight instead of slanting. The tongue is fastened on by two Iron rods flat where they fasten on to the tongue. The other ends of the rods form hooks which fasten into two bolts, "d, d," having rings on one end. The wheels, says Mail and Breeze, are made of flat pieces sawed off the ends of logs, through the center of When using which a hole is bored. the wagon the snatch blocks may be turned so that the logs can be rolled over the end.

A year and a half ago young Cathcart met Miss Von Haake in Phila delphia. He was then a student in the University of Pennsylvania. He took a small part in athletics, too, but ha is by no means the striking figure Pritchard is. Cathcart is a reticent, reserved young man. He was then about 23 years old. Pretty Miss Von Haake and Cathcart were married last June in on the Hudson, the bridegroom's Within a month the couple home quarreled, but peace was made. In Cathcart and his bride September visited Philadelphia. The husband left the bride at the railway station while he went to look after baggage. When he returned she was gone. ath-letl- c ELOPEMENT IN HIGH LIFE STUNS CAPITAL SOCiETY WASHINGTON.

The beginning of the romance dates back about three years. Alma Marie von Haake was then 18 years of age and one of the most popular girls in the younger army set in Washington. She lived with her parents in the Hammond Court, a fashionable apartment house. She was, and still is, a dainty, vivacious girl, with a striking mass of chestnut hair. New-burg- ADMIRAL DEWEY AND WIFE VACATE "GIFT" MANSION and have moved. The house on Khode Island avenue which was to the presented admiral the by American people not long after the Manila bay victory finally has been vacated. Everybody what remembers ADMIRAL Mrs. Dewey resentment there was when the admiral made the peo ple's gift over to his wife, and then in the face of the storm another transfer was made and the residence became the property of the admiral's son, or matters were so arranged that It would become his property eventually. It Is not wide of the mark, probably, to say that the Deweys stayed in the Rhode Island home for a much longer time than they wanted to stay. Time dulls the edge of criticism and makes people forget, and so the Deweys, not long ago, quietly left the house on tho avenue to take up a residence in the great dwelling at Sixteenth and K streets, where Mrs. Dewey resided when she was Mrs. Hazen, and from which Admiral Dewey took her to church to make her his wife. Admiral Dewey is the ranking officer of the navy and as a full admiral he has a right which belongs to nc other man of either service, the right to remain on the active list until he sees fit to retire. From his rank it l expected, and therefore practically necessary, that when the admiral gives an entertainment it shall be a large one. It Is only fair to say that the Rhode Island avenue house which was given him by the people was altogether too small for large gather ings. The old Hazen residence into which the admiral and his wife have moved affords space enough for most elaborate entertainments.
