When Things Go Wrong
When things go wrong about the house
The bread forgets to rise
And little Minnie tears her dress
And all the babies cry
Oh dont sit down and mope and sigh
And fret and worry so
But dress the kidlets and yourself
And see The Electric Picture Show
When all the World looks blue to you
And you begin to fag
Your head to ache your heart to break
And appetite to flag
Just lock the door and leave your cares
Behind you as you go
And spend an hour of solid joy

IS DEAN OF ALL INDIAN
Sitting Elk Mighty Warrior Who
Never Killed White Man Is Old
est Redman
Oldest of all Indians in the United
States Sitting Elk former chief of the
Ogallalla Sioux is visiting in Denver
the guest of the white man against
jwhoni he always refused to make
war
For almost a century he has been a
jleader among his people but wiser
than other chiefs he early realized
that the red man was doomed and at
every opportunity he counseled peace
iwith the palefaces
He could w c7I afford to do so for his
jpeople knew he was no coward
I have never killed a white man
he proudly boasts but I have fought
many battles and I have done many
jbrave deeds in my long life of ninety
icix years I was but seventeen when
I waylaid and killed my first eiTemy
That was a very brave deed Since
then I have killed many many ene
mies
Sitting Elk is a total abstainer He
smokes cigarettes but insists he has
none of the other bad habits of the
white man He is childless the last ot
his line but he expects to live for
many years more to be hale andj
hearty long after he has passed the
century mark
Sitting Elk moves tall and stately
among his kinsmen and puffs his pipe
with a complacency unruffled by
thoughts of any immediate journey tol
the happy hunting grounds
Bright of eye keen of mind the oldj
warrior dons paint and feathers fori
his appearance with the younger
members of his tribe in the headlong
dashPs tcrcss the amphitheater at thq
stock yards and rides with an aban
don which defies the spectator to sim
gle him from the reckless redskins
who have but one fourth his years to
their credit
HOUSE WITH NO STAIR9
Pittsburg Man Plans New Residence
Embodying Some Very Unique
Features
The new residence which is being
built on the Clearview plan at Mount
Lebanon Pittsburg for A G Smith
of Pittsburgh has some features which
are unique and probably not embodied
in any other residence in this section
The house is without stairways or
steps the slope idea having been subi
stituted The grade of this slope is
about ten per cent Entering from the
veranda to the large reception halL
ones attention is directly drawn to
the unique method employed of reach
ing the upper floor In the living
room which is probably 20x35 feet a
large concrete fireplace and mantel
is the principal feature with a wide
bay window There are no corners to
the house as each of the four ends of
the residence are of the bay type
The only wood used in the construc
tion of the building is to be found in
the door sills windows and floors the
latter of which will be hardwood The
walls of the building are of cement
finished with white cement trimmings
Even the two bathrooms are fitted
with cement tubs In all there are
ten rooms The roof is of concrete
surrounded with a parapet the porch
roofs are of the same type thus af
fording second story porches in the
front and rear both of which are fit
ted up with concrete flower troughs in
which blooming flowers are now to be
seen even in the unfinished condition
of the house On the front second
story porch a fountain is arranged
Engineering Record
Durability of Steel
It has been shown that nearly all
the failures of steel occur very early
in its history If a plate or bar of
mild steel lasts for a year in service
it may be trusted to last for many
years The most injurious thing is
continued bending backward and for
ward as in what is called the pant
ing of a boiler end As one authority
puts it steel has a somewhat tumul
tuous Touth but in middle age it
is trustworthy and in old age beyond
reproach In regard to corrosion
there is a difference of opinion some
holding that steel corrodes more read
ily than iron Harpers Weekly
Gathering Fruit
When gathering fruit peaches or
pears a clever woman Invented a
simple device that insured the pluck
ing of fruit without danger of bruising
it
The top was taken off a tin tomato
can and the can attached to the end
of a broomhandle so that it formed
a cuplike arrangement
The can is put up underneath the
fruit and a slight shake given to de
tach it from the tree letting it fall
into the can which is lowered and
emptied quickly Put a can on the
end of a clothes prop if the fruit hangs
high
George Sand
It was from Leonard Jules Sandeau
the celebrated French novelist and
jdramatist born at Aubusson a century
ago that another and far greater
Iwriter derived her nom de guerre
When a young student in Paris San
Jdeau made the acquaintance of Mme
Dudevant and during a short lived
jfriendship they collaborated in a
novel Rose et Blanche which was
jpublished in 1831 Then they parted
but Mme Dudevant while relinquish
ling Sandeaus friendship took to hei
self a portion of his name and elected

Merely an Error of Judgment
Robinson Crusoe with infinite pa
tience and industry had hollowed out
the big log and made a huge canoe
Then he discovered to his chagrin
that he couldnt launch it It was too
heavy for him to move All his labor
had been wasted
Still he reflected it was only an
oversight It isnt half as bad as Uncle
Sam neglecting for twelve years to
raise the battleship Maine
Scorning to ask for congressional aid
In this difficulty he went to work im
mediately to make a smaller canoe
Sufficiently Permanent
Mrs Cameron was seventy two
years old but she was so well-preserved
that there seemed no reason to
think that her days might not be
lengthened to reach the family stand
ard over eighty five
When her trusty maid of all work
fell ill Mrs Cameron saying that she
should pension the faithful Nancy set
about to obtain another She adver
tised for a girl who wished a perma
nent place and offered high wages
The first applicant was a grim Scotch
woman who looked Mrs Cameron
over and then spoke her mind
Youre well favored maam she
said but youre fair old for a that
an Im lookin for a pairmanency
You stay here till after my fu
neral said Mrs Cameron with an
appreciative twinkle in her eye and
see if it hasnt been pretty perma
nent
Aweel Ill try it said the woman
after another survey of her future
mistress and she held her pairma
nency for fifteen years at the end of
which time she attended the funeral
of her mistress and after it learned
that a goodly sum had been left to
my cautious Tina on the receipt of
which she retired from active service
Youths Companion
Ivy at a Funeral
Standing beside a coffin containing
the body of her husband Mrs Charles
Buhland of Indianapolis carried out
his last requests Dressed in white
she sang two hymns read his re
quests and delivered a brief eulogy
Buhland did not want any crepe at
the door and he insisted that no black
should be worn in mourning for him
He wanted his wife to dress in white
He desired that in the place of som
ber decorations there should be flow
ers and other symbols of joy at tho
funeral
Buhland was 52 years old and waai
ill -a year before he died

He had sung several times during
the evening and his friends had mur

You see he explained I dont
