A RUMPUS IS MADE BY CLOCK.
Man Tries to Steal It But Old Time-

New York. An antique clock worth

but having n value of perhaps $50

Mood silent on tho mantelpiece of tho

7 West Twenty-sixth street. Tho old
clock had stood there many years
with Its hands nlwnys pointing at
2:2K o'clock. It stopped nt that hour
ahout 23 yenrs ago and had declined
to go over since.
About 2:15 o'clock In tho afternoon
Frank Williams aged 28 found tho
door of No. 7 West Twenty-sixth
street njar. Prompted by n curiosity
possibly ho walked In nnd tiptoed Into
tho drawing-mom. There was no one

clock on the mantel. It looked pawn-
ablo and ho gently lifted it oft tho
mantelpiece and started out with It.

and It screamed In tho musical ac-

Tho man who escaped with him wns

Iu this wny ho wns enabled to niako

Dining this tlmo Houscy never had
positive information that anybody was
after him. Ho recelvod warnings iu
soino mjstcrlous way. He says some-
thing told him Tom Helm was aftor

which he happened to bo at that tlmo.
As soon as this feeling came upon
him without questioning It Housoy
would leave. On tho day before ho
was arrested Housey said ho was sit-
ting by tho railroad track In tho yards

"Tom Helm is coming hero after you."

Just at the edge of what would havo

Begun After London's Great Fire of

first groat fire of 11.10 but not finally
completed until 1I08. The spire was
constldi'rud tho handsomest and wns
the tallest In Kurope Haiti to a height
of :.0 feet above tho pavement. On
the top was a ball supporting :i cms
nnd terminating Iu an caalo. At the
west ontl of the edifice were two inns
slvp towers ono of which contained
n lockup Tor eecleslnstleal offenders
and was known ns tho Idlnrds' tower.

the choir of which Chi 1st church Now-

garden of the denn nnd chnpter was

of tho chapter house may he detected
rising on the western side of the
south transept. There wits also n
school for the choir boys at tho east
end.
The Interior of the cathedral was
very spacious hut wns much blocked
up with monuments. Those to Sir
Philip Sydney Iu the north aisle of
the choir near to Sir Francis Wnlslng
hum. and one of enormous slso to Sir
Christopher Hntton In the south nlsle
were there In Shakespeare's time. An
older tomb was that of Sir John Henu-
champ popularly believed to bo that
of Humphrey duko of (Jlouccstor who
was however burled In St. Albnn's.
"To dlno with Duko Humphrey" meant
to wander dlnnerless In the cathedral
nave. St. Paul's was u cathedral of
what Is Known as "the old founda

was a dean assisted by canons who
were responsible for dally services
They were not monks but ordained
clergymen each of them endowed
with an estate. Most of these estates
wore in the neighborhood of London
anil the canons their owners lived on
them as country squires. Ily degrees
they nil loused awny their prebends
and tho modern canons are specially
endowed but without the estates. The
edifice wns destroyed In the great lire

Made Trouble for Jones.
A bunch of joung fellows In To-
peka have n poker club. Onco n week
they get together nnd play a little
penny game nt which nono can either
lusoiir win very much. For convenience
one of the number will be called Jones
which is not his label iu tho directory.
Joues' wife didn't want him to go hut
he finally pacified her by telling her
that ho would give her nil his win-
nlugs or that evening' play nnd
would also be homo by 11 o'clock. Ho
played four hours nnd won $1.85. Just
ns soon ns he got homo ho handed
over his winnings.
About 15 minutes later tho lest of
tho crowd wandered homo by Jones'
house. Ono of them stopped under
tho Joneses' bedroom window.
"I'll bet" ho said plenty loud
enough for Mrs. Jones to hear "I'll
just bet that old dog Jones gave his
wifo about $1.35 nnd said ho won
that and then stacked tho other $15
that ho cleaned us fellows for."
Jones Is still trying to convlnco Ills
wifo thnt ho only won $1.85 but she
Is holding out for thnt $t5. Tho thing
stands in stntu quo with tho rest of
the poker club grinning out loud.

that children must bo taught the first

The outside Bppenrsnc of n house
Is sometimes deceptive. Here Is n
doslmi that looks larRer than Its nc-
ttml size. for. ultlmtiRh It measures HO
feet 0 inches In width by at) feet In
length und looks It In reality there are
tlneo cut Horn to come out of those
dimensions uml you don't realize it
when you look nt the houso from tho
street or from a distance.
The general plnu may bo described
as being lull two stories Iu height
with n largo nttlc uml large frostproof
cellar. Those who bullil this kind or
n house for a summer home however
sometimes do not carry the stairway
to the nttlc or pay much uttentlon to
the cellar; bin both the utile and the
collar may tecelve attention after-
wards If necessary.
A good deal depends on the climate
nd the reiiuliojiientH of the family.
An uttln is n good thing to keep u
house cool In a climate where the sun
boats down hot lu summer and it
often Is worth nil It costs Just for thnt
purpose. Then u good nttlc will help
sell a house and all know that snlu-
blllty Is n very desirable asset lu re-
gard to nny pioperty even though In-
tended to keep for n homo ns long ns
you live.
A feature of this houso that will bo
appreciated by ulinost everyone Is the
splendid back veranda which really
is an additional living room in wann
weather especially If It Is protected
by climbing vines us It should be. It
may bo still further Improved by In-
closing It with lly screens for summer
and glass sash for winter.
To get tho full benefit of n back
veranda built in this wny tho details
of construction should li carefully
planned at time of building. It is Just
ns easy to set the veranda iiosts the
right distance apart nnd to put them
up plumb with square corners so tho
sash will fit In between us It Is to put
tho framework together In tho usual

prone to -slight tfio rear end ot n
house. They seem to consider it of
very llttlo Importance when tho fact
Is a well built back veranda may bo
made the most comfortable part of tho
First Floor Plan
house and In all cases It should be a
protection to the kitchen.
A veranda like this looking to the
south It well built and the sash prop-
erly fitted should bo an early garden
in spring for such (lowers as daffodils
tulips narcissus Jonquils snowdrops
crocusos etc. us woll as nursery for
tho more practical plants for the gar-
den such as tomatoes early cabbage
and a good many other things may bo
hurried along a month ahead ot their
usual season und tho work attending
to It will bo a pleasure while Ice nnd
snow still linger on tho ground.
Too often tho back part of the houso
Is neglected. It may bo wrong to say
that too much attention Is given to the
parlor ami front hall because they be-
long to the visitors' section ot tho
houso but certain It Is that n good

STUDENTS CATCH RATTLERS.
Spent Their Vacation Collecting Snake
Venom Profits of an Outing.
For the Inst threo months two stu-
dents of the Medlco-Chlriirglcal col-
lege Philadelphia havo put In their
vacation hunting rattlesnakes and cop-
perheads in the mountains near Km-
niltsburg. Thoy captuied a numbor
of large reptiles from which they ob-
tained about $1500 worth of venom
which will bo shipped to tho Patholog-
ical Institute in Paris.
They onjoyed their outing in the
mountains. A number of times they
had exciting adventures but man-
aged to escape mishap. They carried
an antidote for rattlesnake bites but
did not have occasion to use it.
In catching tho snakes they used
two sticks of moderate thickness. One
had a Y fork end while the other had
n silk lino running through guides
nndlng In a loop Tho snake was usu-
ally found In a coll ready to strike but
beforo striking the silk loop was
dropped over its head and tightened.
Tho reptile was then lifted Into a bag.
At the end of each duy'u hunt the ven-
om was extracted.
In doing this a small pjntlnum spoon
was used. Tho operator with his
hands Incased In a protective glove re.
moved the snakes from the bag by
looping them with tho stick contain-
ing the silk thread. After grasping tho
reptile ilrmly well up to the neck the
nose was removed and tho serpent's
Jnws wero forced opon by a squeeze.
The spoon was then Inserted In Its
mouth and pressed against the fangs
lu the upper Jaw causing them to
press on tho poison duct forcing the
venom through tho hollow fang Into
tho bowl of the spoon. It was seldom
that more than two or three drops ot
venom was secured from the largea
rattler. After Its vonoin was takon
the snako was killed. Tho poison was
bottled for shipment iu small phials
and securely scaled.
