towed to and fro by an over head

Delicate, Instruments register the
0*act "pull," the displacement, the

altered again and again, pieces be

The fJual results are carefully tab

inside the central shed, 250 yds
long (ind 160 feet In height, the
ahip'H berth has meantime been pre
pared. Thousands of wooden piles,
about 30 feet Ip length, have been
driven by pile drivers deep Into the
ground. On these are laid huge
beam**, and the floor completed with
?tout planks. Then, In tfae center,
tbe keel blocks, surmounted by oak
caps, in groups Of five, are assem
bled on u falling gradient to the
river of about half an Inch to the
fobt.
All is now ireadjf for the recep
tion of tbe ponderous kieel. This ?
the backbone ?' the ship ?la of Iiuh
strength, .measuring four feet acrose,
and Is thfee and a quarter Inches
thick. Parallel with the keel, but
above It, and attached by angle
bars, Is the central girder, five feet
high, the space between forming the
double Uoiuuu. On each aide. M
regular distances, running length'
wise, are seven other girders, the
outer oue called the "margin plate."
The water tight chamber* are
formed by vertical partitions of the
plates, extending abovto and beneath
tfie floors up to the murgln plate
on each side.
After the great cast steel stern
frame and the stembar for the bows
have been attached, the plating be*
gins. The steel strips of varying
sizes, but averaglug 34 feet In its
length, and about three 19ns lu
weight each, which form the skin
of the ship, are lafQ on In st rakes,
like the bricks In a wall. Kitting
these strakps to the shape of a ship
Is a critical business. A tliln wood
en pattern, or template, Is first pre
pared for each plate, and clamped
In position on the ship's side. With
minute care, every detail is mark
ed on it? the size and shupe, the
overlap, and the rivet holes.
It is then transfered to its proto
type, the steel plate, which is cut,
pimched and bent by wonderful ma
chinery that slices steel strips,
punohes rivet holes aud beuds steel
plate as easily aud cleanly as tho*
the material were paper. Nimble
traveling cranes on gantries under
the roof pick up the huge plates
When ready, and convey them to
their appointed place, Where the hy
draulic riveter ? a mechanical mar
vel ? with Irresistible force and ra
pidity, drives each rivet home, in
the buildings of a model liner over
4,000/000 rivets are used. Each
Joint is finally rendered water tight
by caulking.
The outer shell finished, and the
inside work far advanced, the build
ers turn their attention to the pro
blem of the launch, the weight of
the vessel at this point on the keel
blocks being something like 15,000
tons. The launching ways, sloping
gently to the water, are prepared,
and cradles, fore and aft, to guide
What a difference a pretty belt pin
and shirt waist set makes to a nice
waist !
They not only show off the waist but add richness and
elegance to your entire outfit. They make all the differ
ence between a floppy waist and^k trim and neat figure.

Tola of Trivial Incident After /Twen
ty-Five Yeare.
Judge Laudls, of the northern dife
tr et court of Illiqota, i8 ,011d of
telling this anecdoto of Lincoln:
In 18 3 when Lincoln was a can
d date for the legislature,, he called
on a certain farmer to for his
support. He found him In the ha,
, ' ttnd was urging his cau'Be
wnen the dinner hell sounded, the
farmer invited him to dinner, /but
he declined politely, and added.:
b pvt h' yoA wm lett me^have the
scythe while you are gone I will
mow around the ?,eld a couple of
times."
When the farmer returned he
o?Bd three rows neatly mowed.
The scythe lay against the gate post
but Lincoln had disappeared.
Nearly thirty years afterward,
the farmer and his wife, npw grown
old were at a White House recep
Jon, and stood waiting in line to
shake hand* with the president.
When they got near him in the
e''' says Judge Landis, "Lincoln
saw them, and," caiHng an uide, told
to take th#m to one of , the
small parlors, where he wouJd see
them as soon as he got through
the handshaking. Much surprised,
the old couple were led away. Pre
sently Mr. Lincoln came In, aftd,
greeting them with an outstretched
hand and a warm smile, called them
by name.
"Do you mean to say," exclaimed
the farmer, "that you remember me
after all these years?"
? ** certainly do,* said the pres
ident, and he went on to recall
the day he had mowed round the
farmer's timothy field.
"Yes, that's so,' said the old
man, still In astonishment. *1 found
the field mowed and the scythe lean
ng up against the gate post. But
I have always wanted to ask you
one thjgig.' . j
'What is that,' asked Mr. Lin
coln.
'I always wanted to ask you,
Mr. President, what you did with
the whetstone V
"Lincoln smoothed hjs hair back;
fr?1*1 bis brows moment, in deep
thought; then his face lighted up.
'Yes, I remember now/ he said,
'I put the wfhetstone on top of thel
high gate post. \
A?d when he got back to Illi
nois again the farmer found the|
whetstone on top of the gate post,
where it had lain for more than
twenty-five years. ?Youth's Com-,

Joe Malloy was found guilty of |
the murder of Prentiss Moore Sat
urday night at Bennettesville. The!
<?ase was given to the Jury at 4:45
and the verdict returned at 9:00
O'clock. Judge Spain sentenced
Malloy to be electrocuted August 9.
The defendant made motions in ar
*?et of judgment and for nelfcr trial.
The main point raised Is that the
act of 1912 providing for electrocu
tion and abolishing death by hang
ing ,1s ex poet facto as to crime
committed In 1910. Judge Spain
overruled the motions, saying thatl
In the absence of a case in this stat
on the specified point the question
Jja8 doubtful, and he would follow
the rule and construe the act In fa
vor of its constitutionality and al
low the higher court to settle it
The case will be taken to th? su
preme court of the ?tate, and If the
judgment is sustained It will doubt
less be taken to the United States
supreme court, v. ' - > , ?

IN THE PRODUCTION OF THE KIMBALL PIANO
an active progressiveness is joined with over fifty
years of experience concentrated on the effort to pro
duce piano quality of the highest type. Piano custom
ers WHO KNOW appreciate this fact, which ex
plains why so many of them say that the Kimball
piano is the best.
WHEN in the market for piano or organ, see the Kimball

Yearly, there are thousands of dollars

way to the waste basket merely because
they are not np to the standard in work

your watch to a blacksmith to be repair

his business; you'd want the best watch
