Men who cultivate the society and
cooperation of their wives often find
great help and encouragement in their
work. Prominent professional work
ers have testified again and again that
they owe not a lite of their inspiration
and success to the sympathetic assist
ance of their wives.
Fennimore Cooper became novelist
through his wife's challenge. One
evening, while reading novel, he
threw IL down. saying. 81 believe /

"Let me see you do IT," said his wife,
with smile. In few days he had
written several chapters of "Precau-
tion," which, when finished, he pub
llshed at his own expense. The novel
attracted little attention, but 1t gave
Cooper an inkling of his capacity for
story writing, and the 'Spy" his next
novel. appealed so strongly TO the pa
triotic sympathies of his countrymen
that IL became great success.

Although Hanscom is his own COM

"Oh," she said gleefully, I'll just set

will Immediately prepare plans Of the pro-
posed editice. This will cover the entire lot
and give about nearly double the seating
capacity of the old church. 1t is decided to
make it on a most modern plan, the interior
being a single story with a gallery extending
nearly around. A basement will also be
bull in which the church parlors will be
located. A handsome and stately tower will
add to the symmetry of the structure. The
Old church will be torn down and the mater
ial used in the new building. The cost Is
estimated to be between SIS, 900 and $50, 1000.
While the new church is in process of
erection it is probable that a tent, having
capacity to accommodate 1000 persons, will
be used for Sunday service except when the
the weather is bad, when the Masonic temple
will be used,
