A Possibility and a Fact,

Why is not the Queen Anne cottage,
asks a writer, which in its best state at
home has charmed the eye of many an
American and thoroughly fulfilled his
conception of what a country home
should be; why is it not able, If trans
planted to our own soil, to meet at least
a certain class of needs? Try to live in
one and you will see. In the winter
season you will have snow where the
Englishman has rain. and will find his
picturesquely complex roof snow-trap,
not O snow-shed. You will have far
greater cold than he. and will need q
plan that does not put too many diff
culties in the way of warming from
common center Winter and summer
you will have sunshine OF strength he
knows only in his dreams, and his
house will very likely give you more
windows than you want; and in sum-
mer you will have heat of potency he
would hate to know even in his dreams,
and his house will most certainly not
give you the thing you want most OF all.
a piazza. And, again, you will very
often wish to make much more extern
sive use of wood than he ever makes in
these modern days. OF course you may
use your wood in place of his brick; you
may modify his roofs. change his plan.
alter his openings. and add your own
piazza. If, however, you do this with
the intent to copy the effect of his house
as nearly as yon can, you will utterly
spoil his creation and produce bastard
thing which will neither satisfy your
eye nor wholly meet your needs. And
this is just what has been done in very
great many cases. II, on the other
hand, you make the necessary changes
with intelligent thought and artistic
feeling rs your helpers, instead of with
initiative effort as your fetter. the result
will not be the Englishman's house at
all. but something essentially different.

Why Tod scorned the Double "a

One Of Lincoln's most esteemed
friends was old ex Governor Tod OF
Ohio. lie was a quaint old character,
and Lindoln loved hun for his honesty,
ability and shreWdness. One evening
when Tod was in town Lincoln invited
him over to the White House. They
had long chat together, when Lincoln
finally sold; look here Tod, how Is
it you speli your name with only one
'G2' lmavried Todd, hu, she spelled
her name with two 'ds.' All Of her
relatives do the same! You are the FIRST
Tod | ever met who spelled his name
with SO few letters" Old Tod looked
q, Lincoln for a moment in bis peculiar
quizzing manner and then replied: "Mr.
President, God spells his name with on
ly one ID, and what is good enough for
God is good enough for me Lincoln
used to repeat this story to some Of his
more intimate friends, and every time
he did so he would laugh until the tears
ran down over that fuTrowed but grand
face.

Bachelor Cowboys Who Hate
MOrmOnS.

The climate of Montana is not par.
ticularly healthy for Mormons, primer.
pally, | believe, because the soil contains
so many wide awake bachelor cowboys
who are badly in need of wives them
selves. The royal cowpunchers of
Montana hate Mormon male as they
do snake. Being unable to get a
single helpmeet themselves, although
being better able to support a dozen
where Mormon cannot support one, it
rlles them to have some long haired,
rascally elder come along with four,
five and possibly six wives, and settle
down with the utmost gall and cheek on
a Government claim. There are about
$4,000 more bachelors in Montana than
are women altogether. Nearly all of
these $4,000 have splendid ranches,
farms or claims Of some kind, and need
only a wife to complete their cup OF
hapPieess. 1t is no exaggerated picture
| am drawing, for the vast Territory of
Montana contains innumerable bachelor
homes, and these bachelors would make
the best of husbands if given a chance.
The little town Of Maiden, few miles
north OF here, contains not a single un-
married lady. The small village only
ten miles west Of US is simply a com.
munity Of bachelors. These thousands
Of young men, middle-aged men and
old men all have comfortable bank ac-
counts, and would marry on the slight
est provocation, so TO speak. Each one
is calculated to make some woman hap
py, and would give the damsel who
cared to risk her future with him all the
ready cash she could possibly spend in
this world No wonder our bachelors
hate the Mormon males who have more
than their share Of female blessings.

There is a restless. dissatisfied, nit

groes. at this time all over the south,
as indicated by the numerous pcti-

passage of a law appropriating $500
to each hcad-of-family who proposes

the government to send them TO Afri-
ca. and support them there for six
months. Wei, we rather think the ne
groeS ought TO be ~colonized somc'

communities OF the worthless Cement

doubt it Africa is the country to
which they should be sent; for those
who have previously gone there from
