THE Law MUST HAVE ITS COURSE.

"Holdl holdw cried the two cats; "gve
each OF us his share of the rest, and we
will be content"
al you are content" says the monkey,
"justice s not. The law, my friends, must
have its course"
SO he nibbled first one piece and then
the other. The poor cats, seeing their
cheese in a fair way to be all eaten, most
humbly begged the judge to give himself
no further trouble. .....
mot so fast, | beseech you, my friends, u
says the Judge; I'VE owe justice to our
selves rs we'll "a to you. What is left Is
due to me in right of my office"
So saying, he crammed the whole into his

court. .

SECOND STORY,

This house is planned TO be built In
brick. The trimmings are OF rough stone.
However, It could as well be built in wood,
though In this cNse ths room which Is now
oircular would either have to be made oc-
tagonal In form, or II feft circular would
have to be covered with shingles. In either
event ii would present very attractive
appearance. While IT is true that weather
boarding can be worked out TO 20 on CIR
cular wall, its preparation therefore is
attended with some considerable expense.
1t may be well to remark that this plan
Is arranged for locality where cellars are
not used In case one were desired. and
extra space for cellar stairway was
thought to be out Of the question, we could
start the stairs from the front side of the
hall, run partition across TO the pantry
wall and open door from the pantry into
a stairway which would lead down under
the front stairway In the cellar could be
provided laundry, fuel room, etc.
This house would cost about $500 built
in brick, and $1,000 well built In wood.
