DAKOTA CITY, NEBRASKA,
FORGOTTEN ART OF WALKING.
Americans, fonder of going and
moving about than nny other people In
the world, do less walking. If wo can
not havo an automobllo to enrry us,
a street car will vscrvc, but under no
circumstances must wc walk more
than a block or two. Such a thing an
walking never entors our bends, un
less It bo Insisted upon iy our phy
sician. The only time wo Walk volun
jtarlly Is around tho billiard table or
n tho golf links. And yet wulklng io
Jnot only tho best exerclso In tho world,
as any physician will tell you, but It Is
jno of tho most delightful v A rnmblo
along country lanes and through
woodland shndows Is ono of tho favo$
Jto pastimes of our English cousins,
and It might bo made ono of our great
est pleasures. One can nevor see the
beauties of nnturo from n car window,
and the automobile merely unrolls tho
landscnpe In ono Indefinite) blur. Even
the more leisurely horso permits much
Ito escapo us. Tho call of tho spring
to tho open air is hero. Tho warm
sunshine, tho dry roads not yet grown
dusty, tho chatter of tho birds, all call
jus to tho great outdoors. Health, ex
hilaration and tho swcot weariness
that begets sound sleep nwnlt us there.

EW YORK. 'For nearly an hour
thp other day J. P. Morgan Jr. and
Robort I3acon, former ambassador to
France woro held prisoners on tho
thirty-first floor of tho Bankers' Trust
building.
During that tlmo half a dozen men
who had engagements with Mr. Mor
gan in his offices at Wall and Broad
streets were anxiously waiting for
him. Likewise, cmployos of J. P.
Morgan & Co. became uneasy.
It was nearly lunchoon time when
Mr. Morgan nnd Mr. Bacon fumed and
fussed In the elabornto sulto on tho
thlrty-flrst floor of tho Bankers' Trust
building which has been set aside for
J. P. Morgan Sr. for holding secret
conferences.
Thoy could hear tho roar of traffic
out in tho streets, and persons wero
only a fow floors nway from them, yet
their efforts to got assistance failed.
Mr. Morgan went up to tho thlrty
flrst floor for a conference with Mr.
Bacon. First thoy took an oxpress
elovator to tho twenty-ninth floor. An
nuxlliary runs up to tho privato sulto,
but it was broken, so tho two men
walked up.
They then turned tho knob of tho
door which leads to tho suite, slammed
It and proceeded to got down to busi
ness. Tho conference did not last
long and at its conclusion Mr. Mor
gan vent to tho door.
There was no knob on tho lnsldo.
A steal bar ran la from the outside
knob, but it was so short that it
couldn't be turnod.
When Mr. Morgan saw tho bar ho
gazed blankly at Mr. Bacon and Mr.
Bacon gazed blankly at Mr. Morgan.
"Jailed I" oxclalmed Mr. Bacon.
"Wonder how long a torm it will
be?" smiled Mr. Morgan.
"I suppose a policeman will bo
along pretty soon to tako our Ber
tlllon measurements," observed tho
former ambassador.
Mr. Morgan fished a penknife from
his pocket and tried to loosen tho
sorow which held tho steel bar. He
broke tho blndo of the knife.
"Thcro ought to bo aomo way out
of this," tho flnancior said, after ho
had worked at the bar until the
perspiration stood on his brow. Then
ho looked about and discovered an
automatic fire alarm.
Tho breaking of a glass1 cover on
tho nlarm ought to havo brought fire
men, but the alarm wan not In work
ing order, and tho glass was broken
to no purpose
After they had waited and watted,
with no signs of firemen, they set to
work at tho door again. Mr. Bacon
used his pocket knife this tlmo and,
nfter much laborious effort, managed
to loosen tho screw and shove the
steel bar out of Its groove.
Then tho handle of tho knlfo was
Inserted into the groove and it open
ed tho door. Mr. Morgan will prob
ably take a fire axe with him when
he again holds a conference in tho
private suite.

Rebel and Federal Meet After Battle
KANSAS CITY. A message telling
how Trncy Richardson, a Kansas
City boy, met tho Mexican federal
soldlec who fired tho bullet that
wounded him at tho battle of Villa
Lopez, was received the other day
from Addison Hughes, a correspon
dent with tho rebel army of General
Orozco. Tho dispatch, which Is dated
from Jlmlnez, Chihuahua, Mexico,
reads as follows:
This morning n wounded federal
was laid on an adjoining cot Tho
federal prisoner was moaning. Rich
ardson awoke, peered through tho
dim candle light and said in Spanish:
"Hello, are you badly hurt?"
"Pretty badly," answered tho man.
"Federal or rebel?" queried Rich
ardson. "Federal," replied tho other. "And
you?"
"Rebel." said Richardson. "I've a
bullet through my body from a fed
eral gun. I wish I had tho man hero
who topped me over."
"What wero you doing whon you
fell?"
"Working a machine gun."
"By the ndobo houso to tho right
of tho church?" queried tho federal.
"That was tho position. How did
you know?" Richardson nBked.
"How did I know," tho federal ask
ed. "Well, I guess I'm tho hombro
who got you. After I located you,
some ono of the rebols got me twice,
onco through the head and onco
through tho Btomach. It's all off with
mo."
mtmt& FOR,
"I'm practically well," said Richard
son. "I'm sorry, old man, I'm sorry."
He reached over and grasped tho fed
eral's hand. "Braco up and get well."
Thon he lay back and went to sleep.
When Richardson awakened tho
sun was up. Ho turned toward tho
federal and greeted him:
"Buenos dlas."
There was no reply. Tho federal
was dead.
Richardson, who, with a machine
gun, bad held a dangerous position,
single-handed, against the federals at
Villa Rose, was found after the battle,
crawling toward tho town, a bullet
holo In his chest. He has been called
the hero of Jlmlnez.
Richardson is 23 years old. His
father, the late A. R. Richardson, was
a well-fcnown contractor in Kansas
City. His mother now Is living in
Lamar, Mo.
Richardson had service In threo
campaigns. In 1910 ho went to Blue
fields, Nicaragua, and Joined tho revo
lutionists. Ho was In every fight
from Bluoflolds to Managua. Later
ho became ono of tho Honduras revo
lutionary Junta leaders. Last Decem
ber he Joined tho Mexican revolution-

Mr. 'William A. Itndford will answer
questions and Klvo advice FREE OF
COBT on all subjects pertaining t6 tho
uljMt -of building, for tho readers of this
paper. On account of his wldo experience
as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, ho
is, without doubt, tho highest authority
on all these subjectn. Address all Inquiries
to William A. Kadford, No. 178 "West
Jackson boulevard, Chicago, 111., and only
enclose two-cent stamp for reply.
A houso built at right angles to it
self is shown in tho accompanying
plan. For some reasons this stylo ot
building has moro to rocommond it
than almost any other design, it was
tho first way invented to mako a
houso larger with'out making it too
long.
In tho early history' of building opcr
ations, bouses woro mado narrow be
causo window lights wero small and
it was difficult to light a wldo room.
U was also more difficult to build a
wido houso at that time, bocauso they
hadn't sawed Joists, and they lacked
tho mechanical 'contrivances thnt wo
now havo for putting buildings to
gether. A floor with hewed timber
beams moro than 16 feet long was al
together too shaky; in fact, floors
usod to go down Into tho cellar occa
sionally when parties of young folks
got too boisterous.
Although this way of building a
houso is several hundred years old,
It is still as popular as over, and the
reason is that houses built In this way
make very comrortablo homes. They
hove a home-llko appearance as you
stand and look at them, and when you
go inside they nre so light and cheer
ful that you fool at homo In time
The only objection is that every
room In tho house has two or threo
outside walls, and for this reason it
is a little more difficult to heat Buch
houses in cold weather; but we have
learned how to protect ourselves
against low temperature by using
building paper and other non-conduc-
flttlug It with screens and sasb, tho
time may bo extended to include al
most tho round year In somo loca
tions. Tho fashion of screening porctt'
os in tho summer tlmo to fcoop out
flies and mosquitoes is a good ono, and
it is oasy to lift out the screens In tho
fall and put sash in their places.
There aro different ways of man
aging. Somo people like to do things
differently from tho ordinary; and 1
notice that such folks generally get
moro out of life. Some families live
In thoir houses; whlto others mako
tho houso a placo to stay in when
act sary, and get away from it an
much and as often as possible A

City. Several Bhots from revolvers

ever, had been tnkon from tho car
whllo they wore uptown celebrating.
As tho men made a dash to get out of
ytho car they vere met at the doors
with threats and a liberal, dlsplny of
revolvers.
"Wo nro not looking for money. We
aro looking for bachelors," tho two
women explained.
That disclosed the Joko and tho Af
teen men tried to smile It wns a
weak attempt Tho attempted train
robbery was too real for thoir liking.
Only Inst night they wero told by ono
of tho trainmen a robbery was feared

Dr. L. A. Corwin of Goffs, Kan., and
A. L. Swearlngen of Kansas City, Kan.,
tho only two bachelors on tho car,
pleaded. "Save us, men. It's leap year
nnd we nre in Utah, too."
"Como with us," the two train rob
bers demanded. Tho two bachelors
wero led to tho observation car,
where several of the unmarried young
women were assembled. Dr. J. F.
Hereford, the official nuctloneer,
mounted a box. He placed his bands
on Doctor Corwin'a shoulder.
"This is to be a bnrgnln day In

you consider that during tho ordinary
winter, even in the northern states,
wo havo only a Tew days of extreme
cold against SO weoks ot moderato or
warm weather, this objection fades
into Insignificance. Tho fact Is most
of our winter weather hovers around
the freezing point, thawing a Ilttlo in
tho daytime and freezing at night It
is easy to keep even a largo houso
comfortable all through with such
temperatures, and you can keep part
of it warm the coldest days if the
houso is well built
Wo valuo light and fresh air moro
than our grandfathers did, bocauso wo
know moro about the Importance ot
such things in regard to health. We
understand that people who live in
tho open air and sunshine usually
havo very littlo uso for tho doctor.
Wo have figured It out scientifically;
so we know tho reason why.
It is easy to lay out a house ot this
kind into good comfortablo rooms
ranging. Tho study of a home meam
much more than tho plan and manner
of building tho houso.
This plan may bo carried out at a
cost of from ?2,000 to J2.500.
