How They Will Look When Completed.
In the construction of good cages
for squirrels, chipmunks or white
rats, you need nothing more than h
small quantity of wire cloth, tin boxes
and wood.
Fig. 1 is a simple house to make.
Cut the baseboard 28 Inches long.
15 inches wide anfc one inch and a
quarter thick.
Ten inches from one end saw off
strips so that the end will be six
inches in width. Eleven inches from
this end erect a square partition, cov-
ered with tin, so that the animals
will be unable to gnaw the wood at
the edges or around the hole that
leads to the cylinder for exercising.
Tacks may also be driven around this
hole to protect it.
At the wide end of the board drive
a wicket made of stout wire or quar-
ter-iron wire rod. Tack the wire
cloth to the backboard and wire It to
the wicket. Along the edges of the
baseboard bore holes Into which the
wires of the netting may slip at the
bottom. A door made of wire cloth
Is hung on hinges, soldered to the
galvanized cloth.
At the small end of the baseboard
attach a wedge-shaped piece of wood,
six inches broad at the bottom and
two inches broad at the top. Nail a
connecting strip from the top of tils
wedge to the top of the backboard.
An exercising cage is made of
straight wires or wire cloth with
wooden or tin ends. It is supported
between the wedge-shaped upright
and the back of the cage.
Fig. 2 shows anotUbr form of squir-
rel cage, which boasts at one end a
shelter made from an Inverted tin
cracker box.—Philadelphia North

GOOD MESSENGERS.
How the Pigeons Saved the Carters
from the Indians.
Bess had two pet pigeons that used
to carry messages for her to all her
friends. She lived way out west,
In a time when there were no tele-
phones, and the pigeons used to be
.put to about the same use.
i The Carters moved to their new
home in the spring, and it happened
that before they settled down in the
new house some Sioux who had been
removed to the Indian Territory bo-
came dissatisfied with their location,
broke out and started toward their
old northern home, plundering and
murdering as they went.
A report of this raid reached the
Carters, but too late to enable them
to seek safety in flight.
When Andrew Patchln was severe-
ly wounded, Mr. Carter began to de-
spair, and he sadly told his wife and
Bessie that he saw no chance to es-
cape from death or capture.
"If it comes to the worst," he said,
"you two must die rather than fall
Into the hands of those fiends. There
ft no hope of help, and no one of us
could pass the Indians to take a mes-
sage to the fort, even if they had not
got our horses."
"There is one that can go, pa,"
epoke up Bessie.
"What do you mean, child? Who
can go? Not Harry?"
"Not Harry, pa, but Chip or Pos-
•um."
Mr. Carter had not thought of the
pigeons, and he eagerly seized the
Idea.
"Do you think that either of them
would fly to the fort?" he asked.
"Yes, sir. We were so long at the
fort, and the birds have not yet got
to think of this place as home. I am
aure they would do it"
"Get one of them, Bess, and I will
write a message."
Bessie had brought her pigeons into
tba bouse for safety, and it was easy
to secure Chip. The message was
fastened to him, and he was let loose,
r circling In the air for a minute
• settled upon his courae, and
flew away In the, direction of the
fort.
Another message was sent by Pos-
sum, and then they waited. They had
to fight, too, as well as wait, and Mr.
Carter and Hairy continued to make
their rifles crack in the hope of keep-
ing the Indians away from the house
as long as possible.
Capt. Morris, Mrs. Carter's cousin,
had caught sight of Chip when the
bird flew to his old quarters at th«
fort, and he at once secured him and
found the message.
In a very short time the men were
mounted and speeding away over the
prairie, and so the Carter family
were saved by Bessie's pigeon.—Phil-
adelphia Ledger.
SOME DAINTY WAYS.
Here are a few pretty ways of cut-
ting oranges and apples when you I
are ready to serve your friends with !
such refreshments.
Who Began It?
Willie bad just received a severe
whipping.
"JIamma," said he, "did your moth-
er ever whip you?"
"I was punished when I was naugh-
ty," his mother replied.
"And was she whipped by her
mother?"
"Yes, dear."
Willie reflected deeply. "Well, I'd
like to know who started it, anyway,"
he exclaimed, finally.

For a corner lot or an ettra wide
lot lika a aquare bouse with a four-
nlded roof. TliU stylet of roof has
been popular for cottage bouses for a
great many years. Iu fact, It used
to be known lit the east as g collage
roof because In New York, aud oilier
eastern states, square built one story
bouses were common. Bome of th«<«ti
cottage houses were so large that the
roof ueeded all the sup| ori possible,
and this pointed peak stylo was found
especially suitable.
It looked well then, and It looks
well now. but we make these roofs
much steeper and add a few roof
windows which enables us to get the
benefit of a good garret that in Ibe
old style roof wus too dark. Bome-
timcs we tuck several bedrooms awuy
in the corners of these pyramid roofs,
but when we do that we generallly
run the wall up a foot or two higher
and extend the windows down consid-
erably lower than these.

right for storage purposes and to

nothing more than collect the regular

could not treat her this way, and the

better It would be for him.
It required less than 30 minutes to
make her arrangements and order a
cab to take her to the depot. She

the white-livered spalpeen.
In building a house like this it is
better to get a lot 50 feet wide if you
can. That leaves room for a nice
lawn together with suitable outside
decorations without giving the prop-
erty a crowded built-in efTect. The
final finishing up of the grounds and
general surroundings of the house has
not received as much attention at the
hands of builders as it should. Or-
dinarily architects and builders are
satisfied to design a good house, and
gee that it is properly built, while
leaving the surrounding and final em-
bellisliments entirely with the owner.
Now the fact is houses are built,
for, the most part, by men who have
spent the early years of their lives in
business, and their attention has be4_
taken up with matters entirely differ-
ent, and they are not qualified to ar-
range the many details that properly
go with a well arranged home. They
may know what they want in a gen-
eral way, but when it comes to fitting
a house to a lot in a community in
which they would like to live a little
assistance from a man who under-
stands such things is a great help
and will be appreciated In after year3.
Many mistakes have been made by
putting unsuitable housps in certain
communities and a great many more
mistakes have been made in neglect-
ing to fit the house to the lot, or In not
buying a lot to fit the house that the
man wants to build.
One of the commonest mistakes In I
building is to place the house th9 |
wrong way. There are house plans i

thing equally urgent, before he makes

Belinda gasped and turned pale. She
was the cause of all this—she! The
letter fluttered from her nerveless
fingers to the floor. For a dazed mo-
ment, she stood clinging to the
banister rail for support while the
world went round. Then abruptly she
jerked herself together and ran down-
stairs to the telephone and rang up
her brother-in-law at his broker's. He
answered the summons himself.
"That Billy?"
"Yes—Belinda?" He cleared his
throat. "I'm afraid It's too late now
to do anything. He's staked every
dollar on the thing*and if it doesn't
take a marvelous rise, he's swamped."
"That means—?"
"Just so; steel was rushing up like
fury; W&rren got wild—he bought

every cent, he owned In the stock.

might—is there any way—"
"I'll do what I can. Goodby." He
hung up the receiver sharply and Be
linda stood pale and panting with her
hand on the back of a chair. What
if they should, as Billy hinted,' lose
everything they had! She'd have only
herself to blame, and her life would
be one long period of sacrifice and re-
pentance. Why had she not trusted
her husband's sounder judgment?
Why had she stung him to despera-
tion in this unpardonable way? She
felt all at once aa though bo ahould

Two kinds of witnesses are often
encountered in courts of justice—the
unwilling witness and the too-willing
witness. Here is one who doesn t
seem to come tinder cither category.
The prosecuting counsel thus ad-
dressed him:
"Mr. Parks, state, if you please,
whether the defendant, to your knowl-
edge, has 'ever followed any profes-
sion."
"He haB been a professor ever since
I have known him."
"Ah! a professor of what?"
"A professor of religion."
"You don't understand me, Mr.
Parks. What does he do?"
"Well, generally what he pleases."
"Mr. Parks, this kind of prevarica-
tion will not do here. Now state, sir,
how the defendant supports himself."
"I Baw him last night supporting
himself against a lamp post."
"May it please your lordship, this
witness shows an evident disposition
to trifle with the court."
"Mr. Parks," says his lordship,
"state, if you know anything about
It, what the defendant's occupation
is."
"Occupation, did you say. sir?"
"Yes, occupation," said the judge.
"Yes; what is his occupation?"
echoed the counsel.
"If I am not mistaken, he occu-
pies two rooms feomewhere in Cam-
den Town."
"That's all, Mr. Parks. Do I under-
stand you. to affirm that the defend-
ant Is a professor of religion?"
"He is."
"Does his practice correspond with
his profession?"
"I never heard of any correspond-
ence or letter of any kind."
"You said something about his pro-
pensity for drinking. Does he drink
hard?"
"No. sir. I think he drinks as easy
as any man I ever saw."
"One more question. Mr. Parks."
You have known the defendant :i long
time. What are lys habils—loose or
otherwise?"
"I think the one he has on now la
rather tight under the arms; it is cer-
tainly too short-waistcd for the fash-
Ion."
"You can take your seat, Mr.
