Had a Powerful Influence on the American People. tn His Original Home He Favored “Direct Action” a-nd in the Western World Built on Empire— What He Accomplished. New York. —In a great many affairs that go wrong today the social mind-1 ed detectives do not say, Cherchez le ; femme; they say,, Cherchez the puri-i tan ancestor. That dour figure In ■ sugar loaf hat and buff jerkin and breeches striding on his way to church with his flintlock and his Bible, is responsible for an extraordinary number of things that now afflict us. He stands in the way of a minimum wage, of Sunday baseball, of the uplifting of the stage, of the speedy solution of the white slave problem, the divorce problem, the saloon problem, the eugenics problem, the l a. m. lobster palace problem, and a good many other problems ■which, the theatrical managers on Broadway are aching to solve, but are not allowed to. The cavaliers despised the puritan ancestor because he spoke through his nose. But that was a minor fault. The real sin is that he refused to speak at all. He is the original •patentee of the conspiracy of silence to which all our ills are due,“’as contrasted with the happy nations of the continent where there Is no conspiracy of silence on all these fascinating ■topics, and consequently these problems do not exist. The puritan exalted salvation at the expense of conversation, thus failing to perceive that the latter is the indispensable condition of the former. If he had not been so afraid of calling a spade a spade, we should now have a flourishing literature and drama and art, and we should have done away with the social evil, even as conversational people like the French and the Germans have done away with it. Considering that the truth alone can be the basis of true progress and civilization it is astonishing how many things that whining, hypocritical puritan ancestor accomplished in his day. In his original home in England he had not been going many years before he cut off the head of a king, sent another king packing about his business, and in other ways pursued a policy of “direct action” that should appeal enormously to W. D. Haywood. Crossing the Atlantic, he helped to lay the foundations of an empire. For a man who hated to call a spade a spade, it is remarkable how well he could use that familiar agricultural implement. He used it to dig up the ungrateful soil of a rock bound, frost-bitten commonwealth. Later he shouldered his spade and, still speaking through his nose, but for the most part faithful to his conspiracy of silence, he dug up the more grateful soil of the Mississippi valley and the western prairies and the Pacific river valleys, with occasional deviations to the pickax when he struck the orebearing lands of Colorado and the Sierras. He did not lose the early habit of carrying his flintlock into the field. He used it in Kansas, and five years later he was carrying it over a thousand miles of battlefield. In his own hypocritical way he called It a fight for free Institutions against slavery. When the war was over he went back to farming and railroad building, persistent in his churchgoing habits and the traditional conspiracy of silence. We are forced to the conclusion that the puritan ancestor fared better than he deserved and builded bet-

When the news came to him that he was thrown over an original idea occurred to Musy. \ He decided to pa?te on the walls of

ter than he know. Else how can we i explain the surprising fact that, in spite of his aversion to discussing sex 1 phenomena and sex rights, he created I a form of society In which woman at- ] tained a prestige, a freedom of action 1 and a scope of opportunity such as ; she had not known in previous ages. Let others explain how the puritanic < ancestor, laboring under the handicap < of atrophied conversational powers, ignorarft of the works of Ellen Key I and Oliver Schreiner, succeeded in working out a theory that it is man's function to labor and provide, and woman’s function to expand and enjoy. The task is too difficult for the { present writer. Nor can he. explain i this other startling fact that, without any knowledge that this is the century of the child, without explicit recognition of the sacred duty he owed to the future of the race as embodied in the child, the puritan ancestor, wherever he went, built his schoolhouse and his church simultaneously, and after the schoolhouse he erected high schools, and after the high schools he created universities, and stinted himself order that his children might go to these universities and might have more money to spend than was good for them. LITERATURE IS FOOD FOR CAT Chicago Feline Destroys Magazines and Papers, and Defies Guns, Dog* and Poison. Chicago.—A cat —a ghostly. Incomprehensible animal that thrives on poison, dogs, bullets and walks in and out of traps unscathed —has furnished Chicago with a mystery, which borders on the uncanny. Each night during the last five months a malicious and predatory feline appears at a stationery store, sometimes alone, sometimes in company with fellow cats. Then follows the digesting of amagazines and stationery. Hundreds of dollars worth of stationery and magazines have been ruined by the weird animal. Hundreds of attempts to trap, poison or shoot it have been futile. Traps have been set —large traps, traps which might snare a bear and traps delicate enough to capture a rat. They have been found in the morning overturned and sprung but without a cat. YOUTH IS STRANGELY CAUGHT Alleged Highwayman Has Foot Ensnarled In Smoke Regulator of Chimney. New York. —After escaping three bullets sent after him by a policeman in pursuit, a youth charged with highway robbery found himself strangely trapped, hanging from a foot ensnared in the tin smoke regulator of a chimney with his head dizzily swaying 30 feet or more over a stone paved alley. He was caught in the chimney of a two-story building in Brooklyn by a policeman who had pursued h|m. The youth is George Cusach, seventeen years old. He and two other youths are accused of holding up and assaulting Dominick Berquist, a carpenter. Aged Man Does Foolish Thing. Patchogue, N.

MOUNTAIMS VANISH OFF MAP Brown and Hookor Peaks, on Old Canadian Profiles, Cannot Ba Found. Winnipeg.—That Mount Brown and Mount Hooker, traditional monarchs of the Canadian rockies, which were supposed to guard Yellow Head Pass, and which were first mentioned 60 years ago by Douglass, a botanist, do not exist has just been proved by Alfred Mumm and Geoffrey Howard, English Alpinists, who have been investigating mountain regions in the neighborhood of Mount Robson and the pass. In exploration work spread over several weeks these mountain climbers have discovered no trace of the mythical mountains. The mountains were reputed to be between 10,000 and 17,000 feet in height. While these mountains do not appear to exist, Messrs. Mumm and Howard, accompanied by Morits Inderbinen, the former Swiss guide, explored peaks each in the neighborhood of 11,000 feet high in the vicinity of Robson, and which together form one of the most magnificent groups of mountain peaks which these experienced mountain climbers have ever seen. Photographs have been taken by Mr. Mumm of an old blaze on the bark of a pine tree in the heart of the Rockies which he thinks may possibly be a relic of an early pioneer tragedy. During the dispute between trappers of the Northern Fur company and the Hudson Bay company trappers pushed their way through the mountains from British Columbia, follow-, ing the route of Wood river, and even-> tually arriving in an amphitheater of mountains known as the “Committee’s Punchbowl.” The men had suffered frightful hardships and a consul- ; tation was held as to whether theyl I would return or go forward. Seeing they had arrived at the wa- ' tershed, it was thought their journey j was only half over, and some decidedi to go back. The most of these perished, while those who went forward soom struck the easy path through Yellow Tead and were out of the mountains in a week. The blaze discovered by Messrs. Mumm and Howard is thought to have been carved by four of the ill-fated party. Above the date, October 20, ' 1853, are carved the following initalsr J. M.» W. C.. H. A. T. and H. S.

BOARDED THE WRONG SHIP As a Result Young Lady of California Is Bound for Antipodes Against Her Will. . Victoria, B. C. —Steaming across the far reaches of the broad Pacific on board the steamship Marama is a lone passenger who up to the time of the big liner’s departure had not the slightest intention of making the long passage to the Antipodes. Just prior to the sailing of the Marama a fashionably attired young lady boarded the vessel, whlth she imagined was the Pacific coast steamer Umatilla, bound for San Francisco. The unwilling passenger was Miss Nellie Stone of Oakland, Cal., who had been visiting at the home of John Evans at Somenos, near Duncans, B. C. The first news of Miss Stone’s predicament was conveyed to Victoria in a wireless message from Captain Rolls to the C. P. R. officials here.

Mr. William A. Radford will answer I juestlons and give advice FREE OF I 7QST on all subjects pertaining to the . tubject of building, for the readers of this ! japer. On account of his wide experience ; as Editor. Author and Manufacturer, he I s, without doubt, the highest authority >n all these subjects. Address all inquiries | to William A. Radford. No. 178 West . Jackson boulevard, Chicago, 111., and only I inclose two-cent stamp for reply. In some locations a house of one j itory and a halt looks better than a | higher one. Some folks like to build low houses and to make them wider. | There are all kinds of houses and all sorts of people, so that everyone, should be satisfied. There is a com- • sortable look about the little cottage here Illustrated that 1 like. It has a roomy, comfortable, cool appearance tor summer; and it looks as though a good furnace in the cellar would make it warm and cozy in the winter, too. It is 30x45 feet long on the ground, with the addition of two comfortable porches. This house should face the north Not every house plan is suitable for a ! lot with a northern exposure. G“n---i erally speaking, a southern frontage is ; preferred; but sometimes a northern ' outlook Is desirable. It is not possible to face every house to the south, because there are not sites enough of this kind to go around. There are advantages in a northern exposure, with a house built like this, which offset some of the disadvantages. The parlor, library and downstairs bedroom could get the east sun in the morning. The kitchen would be bright and cheerful while the work Is going !on In the forenoon, and the dining room would be pleasant in winter time from ten or eleven o’clock in the morning until night. The hallways, both upstairs and down, could be spared for the northern exposure, because hallways are not occupied except as passageways. There Is an opportunity In this house to put in two grates, one in the library and one in the parlor. A great deal of attention is now being paid to grates and mantels. Some new California grates are raised above the floor of the room, set upon a sort of step or pedestal. The idea is that raising the fire slightly gets ft up where it may be seen to better advantage. and it is said to be a little

«

cleaner. Sometime? the fire step i reaches out in front like a hearth, and extends on one side to the outer edge of the chimney. Architects and builders are giving more attention to grates and mantels, and the result Is that some extraordinary effects are being introduced into expensive houses. It is all right to make an interesting feature of a grate and mantel; but it is all wrong to make any one thing in a house prominent above

One reason why open fires are not more popular Is because the draft of the chimney has so often been left out of the contract. It is easy to specify the size and height, and to stipuuate the amount of brick to be incorporated in the chimney; but it is not so easy to specify the amount of air that shall pass up the flue in a given length of time. The draft, however, is more important than any other part of the chimney. Without a good draft it Is impossible to have a satisfactory fire. Builders of chimneys seldom agree about the proper way to insure a “draw.” If the fire will not draw, it Is an intolerable nuisance. It drives everybody out of the room with tearstained eyes and unprintable expressions. It also leaves a trail of smoke 1 on the walls, and other things very much to the annoyance of the housekeeper. Some masons insist that a chimney must have a big throat in order to make it draw; others are very particu-

Some chimneys i with a big throat fail to draw, and I I others with comparatively small open- ; i ings work very satisfactorily. Some of the best looking chimneys i are the poorest In this respect. Somej times an outside chimney will not ' draw well because it is too cold When I air gets heated, it naturally goes up- ! wards; but until the chimney gets i warm the current of air is not Inclined ' to follow up through the flue. For this reason some builders refuse to put a ■\ 0 Is \ ri iK I ae-o I I ero u T x . j / 2VMHI X J I I——IPWpwIBMWp ■“3“’ JC 7 J /' <xo^ET a o’ / C4Q3L J—E/ : 'I Second Floor Plan. ■ chimney on an outside wall; but the fact remains that some outside chimneys work firstrate. A miner in the foothills will build a chimney for his • cabin out of stone or mud. and it will work well; while a high-priced mason i will spend considerable money in con- • structing a fine house chimney that : will not accept a consignment of air > at any price.

Some 1

[ grates are too small tor any practical use, while others are so large that they entail a great waste of fuel Some of the closed-in stoves, those that have revolving grates, may be a little cleaner and easier to take care of; but they lack the charm of the free, open grate. The fire never looks the same in one of these expensive affairs. It lacks interest It is a sort of cross between the fireplace and a stove; it is neither one thing nor the other. Building a fireplace In any house ia a mistake unless it is intended for use. A sham ornament of this kind is a mere mockery, and it is a disappointment. Shams are never satisfactory. A fireplace that is never used is a sham, it does not look well, and should never find a place in a dwelling house. It is estimated that a house like the one here shown can be built completes with fireplace, flues and registers, for from about SI,BOO to $2,000; and this estimate is probably correct for most localities. Os course, wages and cost of material are very much higher in some places than others, and this must be taken into consideration in studying house plans and estimates. Metal Soles for Farm Shoes. Shoes with aluminum soles are now made for farmers and laborers who are required to work in water or on damp floors. The top of the shoe is of leather and the sole is a continuous piece of aluminum which covers the etire bottom and folds up along the sides. Between the foot and the metal is a heavy felt Insole, and tbe heel has a core of wood to decrease its weight Lack of flexibility in the sole is made up for by a bar under the ball of the foot, which gives a buoyant roll to the step and prevents flat-footed walking. Aluminum is used in preference to any other metal because it combines lightness with great durability, the soles wearing longer than rubber and being more impervious to water. The shoes are made in three heights and are comparativeInexpesive. —Popular Mechancis.

NEW IDEA OF MOTHER-IN-LAW Possibly This Is One of the Arrangements That Would Do Away With Old Problem. “John Blank has just been telling me of his trouble at home,” said th* lean man, as he settled back in. the car seat beside an acquaintance. “I guess he tells pretty near everybody, so I’m not lotting the cat out of the bag by speaking of it.” “Oh. yes," murmured the friend, “his mother and his wife don’t get along together, and Blank is between the devil and the deep sea. Say— ! when do you think this weather will let up?” “Dunno,” replied the lean man. I “But say—l don’t see why there’s got i to be so much mother-in-law trouble, i I Now you take my family. Mother is I dependent on me and she lives with ■ us. According to most people, that i would spell sure trouble. But in our I case it hasn’t worked out that way.” “Your mother and your wife are ! both fine women.” commented the friend. “I guess that’s it.” agreed the lean man. “You see, I didn’t marry till middle age, and mother and I lived together alone up to that time. “Then I met Florence. She was a successful business woman. It takes ‘ a lot of good hard sense to be that, and she had it. Well, we married, and she came right into my home, with mother welcoming her as a daughter. “Now, what did my mother do? Did she sit back and sulk, or did she get up and assert her. supremacy “She did not. She held a business | my wife, made a statement of assets and liabilities, as you might say, turned the business over to my wife, declared she was willing to be a consulting partner if neees- i sary, but that it was her intention and earnest desire to be relieved of responsibilities and take a rest. “It’s working out beautifully. My wife is the manager of the household. I believe that she and mother have a sort of directors' meeting once in awhile, but mother has refrained from giving any advice that wasn’t asket.. and has never insisted upon the carrying out of the advice she has given. She is a pleasant and honored niern- | ber of our family.

Great Violinist’s Kind Act An impressive example of kindness is given by Paganini, the great musi- ■ cian. One cold X?hristmas day he was going along the streets of London when he saw a poor blind man playing on a violin trying to earn a mite with which to buy food to satisfy his hunger. But his tunes lacked power to I move the hearts of people and he received no response. The poor blind man stood hungry in the cold. As Paganini approached him, he kindly patted him on the back and said, "Won’t the people give you any money?” “No,’ was the reply; “they won’t open their window; it is too cold.” “Well, lend me your violin,” said the great musician, “and I will see if they will open tnem for me.” Paganini played as never before. The windows opened as if by magic. The people listened, and money was thrown plentifully to the beggar. The sweet violinist picked it up, gave it to the blind man, and told him to go home out of the cold. Club of Mutes in Paris. A deaf and dumb club has been organized at Paris, France. Two hundred men and women of the French i Deaf and Dumb union walked across the great stone-paved square in front of the Palace of Versailles on a recent Sunday without a sound except the sound make by their footsteps. In dead silence they walked across the Place St Louis to the statue of the Abbe de ’Epee. In dead silence their leaders, who headed the procession, laid a wreath at the foot of the statue, and in dead silence speeches were made and applauded. The silent procession honored the memory, as they honor it every year, of the man who did for his afflicted countrymen what Braile did for the deaf and dumb in England.

I am now able to work all day at the office and study at night, without the nervous exhaustion that was usual before I tried Grape-Nuts. “It leaves me strengthened, refreshed, satisfied; nerves quieted and toned up, body and brain waste restored.
