A REST FOR TWO WOMEN One Carra for the Children MTalle the Other Visits. Woman's World. Two neighbors In a small city, each with a large tamiiy of children, used to go on Utile plcnlca together, taking all tha youngstcra with them. It did them aome good, but on of them. Mrs. Mar tin, felt that there waa a better plan, and she mads tha auggestloa that she should take eara of all tha cblldrea while Mra. Blake rested at home, or spent tba day with a friend. It seemed aa II this waa throwing a heavy burden on Mra. Martin, but she thought sight children were as easy to look after aa four. She got through the day very well, while Mrs. Blake had a happy visit with her mother In a neighboring town. . "It was so nice ta be taken care or and coddled all day Just as I coddle tha children." aha commented. "No hungry demanda for dinner, no queruloua-quea-tlona about where cap or ahoea or bat had gone: Juat tender queatlona aa to whether I was la a comfortable chair and what kind of pla I would like. I forgot I had any children, I felt ready tor two weeks of nolsa and torn stock ings and bruises whan I go home." Mra. Martin spent her holiday with two maldea lad lea. Her verdict waa that tha peace and order were delight ful: It waa auch a relief to aee furni ture with no scratches, without tha prints of Utile moist, dirty hande. If was a relief to sit down with no thought of a meal to get and to be refused when sha offered to wash tha dishes. It waa equally a relief to bear no childish sbouta or cries. She went home sura that sha loved her children mora than aver because she bad spent a severe day with people who had no more to do with children than they bad with chim. pansees. Mra Blake and Mra. Martin practiced this plan from May until November. Neither of the women aver neglected to take the fortnightly holiday, and they always contrived to take It away from their own boueee. They had dis covered the Important fact that change Is an essential element or rest. In the Autumn they looked fresher and felt better than they bid for years. They had no shrinking from the Autumn dressmaking and tailoring: they had no rtervoua headaches: no mornings when It seemed Impossible to fare the wear and tear of the day. Their careful ly planned occasional vacations bad brought fresh mental and aplrltua! health. FOR HOUSES OF CONCRETE Washington. D. C Architect H Success la Mold System. New Tork Evening Toot. Ediaon'a theory of building a con crete bouse by tha pouring method haa been partially realised by Milton IX Morrill, an architect of Washington. D. C. Tba system of molds hs has de vised were first need at Virginia High lands a auburb of Washington. D. C and there la now quite a colony of poured bouses, all of which were read ily aold before completion. Aa Idea of the coat of building a concrete house by the pouring method can be gained by tha results at Vir ginia Hlgblanda. Here a seven-room, two-ate ry fireproof houae. 10x10 feet, with aide porches extending sight feet at each end. front terrace, aleeplng bal con lea and roof garden, completely fin ished with hardwood floors, sells at 14000. which price la aald to leave a fair margain of profit. A six-room house, bathroom, balcony for outdoor aleeplng aad roof garden ran be built In groups for less than $200d each. These houaea repreaent almost perfect sanitation and many are built so that every room can be flushed out with a hoee. Many of the fixtures, such as bathtubs, sinks, settees, window-boxes, etc, are alao made of concrete. The equipment for erecting the consists of eight parts, all wedged to gether In such a manner that they can be erected or taken down with a ham mer. Tha nnlt plates are two feet square and are set up in form of a trough, extending entirely around the house to be built. This Is filled with concrete. The next dsy a set of forms are put on top of the first set. and these are filled In the same manner. The third day a swing strap Is at tached to ths std flanges of each plate, pne end of the awing strap to the upper and tha other, end to tha lower tier, the wedges holding ths plates at top and bottom are then knocked out and tha lower tier of plates Is swung nn and wedged on top again. Tba platea are held rigid and apart by a spacing pip through which runs a steel strap an eighth of an Inch think and an Inch wide. Thla has holes In It through which the wedges are driven against the platea and these hold the plates aa solid aa a box girder. Houeea of moat any design ran be built with an net of platea, and at the same time the walla can be made any thickness. The Lackawanna Railroad recently contracted for the erection of forty dwelllnga near Scranton. Pa., to be oc cupied by their coal mine operators, and a Chicago building firm and an other In Boston have secured the nec essary molds for the erection of poured concrete houses In the suburbs of those cities. New Torkers will have an opportun ity of Investigating the Morrill poured concrete house at the forth coming Real Estate and Ideal Homes Show, which opena at Madison Square Garden October 7. when a display of molds . materials and methods used will be made. fnlon Men Win Short Strike.

Oct. . (Special.) In spite of his 7 years Lord Massy shows no disposition to look backwards. When called upon recently his talk was. all of the future and the chanres It will bring to Ireland. "Of course. I hsve seen great change In my time," he said, "but nothing to what I expect to see In the near future. The old order has van ished. The landed aristocracy of Ire land have gona beyond recall; the younger generation has hesrd only the bitter slanders of their enemies, hut they wer better creditors to owe money to than the men who have suc ceeded them. Many a poor farmer haa had bitter cause to lament tbe depar ture of the landlords." Lord Massy Is not. however, pessi mistic about the future of the country under good government. He has been a representative peer for over 30 years. Is known and respected all over Ire land as a sober and disinterested pat riot. He is not a Northerner, and never has been an active politician. Great weight, therefore, la attached to his opinion that civil war must be the Inevitable consequence of home rule. He refused to discuss In detail the terrible possibilities. He left no doubt of hla conviction not only of the certainty but of the necessity and righteousness of such a rising. The state of things which has prevailed in Ireland under a Liberal govern ment has convinced him. he says, that no Nationalist leader could, even If he desired to do so, guarantee civil and ..ll.fnnfl llhertv in Ireland under a separate Parliament.

Galveston, cor. New Orleans Times Democrat. Captain C C. Petttt, of this city, armed only with a small pocketknife, had a struggle for life against a tar pon which was six feet seven inches In length. The struggle occurred In a 12-foot skiff, which seemed all tha time In danger of capsizing. Captain Pettit, In preparation for a day's fishing trip, had rowed to a place In the bay that he had baited with shrimps, and upon making his first cast dislodged from its feeding grounds the monster fish. The first warning was an upheaval of the water like unto that which would be produced by the explosion of a submarine mine: then there flashed Into the air amid the spray a big body, glistening like silver. The fish hsd made Its Jump so that It landed In the boat with Captain Pettit, and tbe next Instant oars, fish ing tackle and all contents except fish and captain were mixed up. Drawing a shortbladed pocketknife NOTICE! Thirty of Portland's leading merchants have been working on a project for some time a proiect that will interest vast num bers of people in this city. These merchants are of the class that make it a rule to "get results" when they set to work on a specific thing. In this particular instance, as usual, they have succeeded. The project has been worked out successfully and it is about readv to launch. When it is announced it will create more or less satis faction among all classes es pecially among religious cir cles, and among the friends of those who are included in these circles. It does not re late to investments of any kind and it does not involve one cent . of cost to anyone. It is an enterprise that has for its object the trade expansion of Port land in general and the trade expansion of the thirty merchants who are "paying the freight" in particular. The story is of general interest, and will have to be "closely followed by those who reap the benefit. It is a continued story en titled "Trade Expansion in the City of Port land," and will last several days, beginning tomorrow, in this paper. Portland, Or., October 4, 1911. Which Shall It Be? Captain Pettit threw himself on the fish. It being a case of fight or ko overboard, and he chose the fight. The struggle, witnessed by several others from a considerable distance, is said to have been a grand one, the boat danc ing around on the waves, threatenins every moment tocapslze. First the captain was on top, then the fish. Strangle holds, half and whole Nelsons and some other holds invented on the spur of tbe moment were used. The fish used Its tail and powerful Jaws, Captain Pettit getting In fre quent blows with his knife.. For a half hour the battle wasred. blood. froth and spray filling the air. Final ly the fish weakened, and the captain, all but exhausted himself, managed to get in a blow that put the finishing touches to his savage opponent, when he fell exhausted in his boat. The rts'.i tipped the scsles at 175 pounds. Cap tain Pettit weighing ten pounds less than his fish. The captain is 7 years of ape and an enthusiastic amateur fisherman.

Test the ease of its pedal pressure, the accuracy and effectiveness of its expression devices. Remove the hands from the controlling levers and note the effect. Every note produced will have the same relative value a jumble of melody and harmonies. QThen try the Angelus. Test it from every conceivable point, fry the Phrasing Lever the exclusive feature, which puts your own individuality info every composition played. Fold your arms and pedal. Note the action of the Melodant every melody note accentuated just as the skilled pianist plays it, while the harmonies are subdued perfectly, and all this without skill or manipulation on your part. QThe Melodant exclusive in the Angelus is the final per fection of the player-piano idea, and places the Angelus productions in a class distinctly their own, and unattainable by any other piano-player in the world. Q Every Knabe, Emerson or Angelus Piano plays any 88-note music rolL Each contains tbe Melodant, the Phrasing ' Lever and tho Automatic Sustaining Pedal, which makes expert manipulation unnecessary and insures a perfect musical result. a The Knabe-Angelus, the Emerson-Angelus and the Angelus Piano are demonstrated and their superiority proven daily at our various stores.
