Willard F. Davis.

Of the young men that were born OF
brought up in Bradford only few have
turned their attention to Architecture, and
it is with great pleasure that we give por-
trait and sketch of such an one this week
Mr.. Willard f. Davis, the subject of this
sketch, was born in Bradford and spent the
early part of his life here, where he is well
remembered for his quiet, unaSsuming man
nerS and his close attention to his books
and drawings.
When he was about sixteen years of age
he became acquainted with Mr.. Scion W.
Allls, civil engineer and an unusually fine
| draughtSman, who urged him to follow ar
chitecture or engineering. Mr.. Allis gave
the young man considerable advice and in
formation which was of great value to him
in shaping his future career. After com
pleting his course of studies at the Acade-
my at Bradford Mr.. Davis went to Lowell.
Arriving there he showed some of his draw
ingS, and easily found employment in an
architects office and began at once to at
tend the drawing school and to take private
lessons.
Determined to excel, he devoted every
spare moment to the study of his chosen
profession until the close application and
lack of proper exercise and recreation told
upon his health to such an extent that he
was obliged to take a complete rest and
change. His position awaited him on his
return, having been but temporarily filled
during his absence.
During this enforced vacation he made
many acquaintance that were of great
help to him in his future work. Mr.. Davis
has been foreman in an architects office for
several years and has been employed by
different architects and engineers in Boston |
and Lowell; he has been connected with |
the designing and experimenting of some
of the finest residences, Office buildings,
churches. school houses, tombs, hotels etc,
in all parts of the country.
He has had several promising and lucra-
tive offers to enter into partnership with
other architects, but has refused to do so,
desiring to first perfect himself in all
branches of the work and feeling that
Few years added experience would not
come amisS.
Now having many friends in a business
way, in both Lowell and Boston, Mr.. Davis
las formed a partnership with Mr. John
Chandler Fowler of Boston. They will

Mr.. Davis makes his home in Lowell

interests her own and his home a happy

Mr.. Davis was an organizer and is at pres

n Lowell, also an active member Of the
Royal Arcanum and the Highland Club, "a
thoroughly good man, upright and honora-
lie in every business transaction, he owes
whatever success he has attained to UNI

INDUCED in about prominent candi-

lieves that any of those mentioned in
this presidential year of 1892, would
be able to trot with either Harrison or
Blaine for running mate, at clip that
would distance Cleveland and Smalley

A TRIBUTE To RECIPROCITY.

No finer tribute to Secretary Blaine's
efforts in the cause OF reciprocal trade
relations could be paid than the state
ment that our exports will have in
creased fully $l00,000,000 in annual
value by the time the law has been in
force two years, says the Philadelphia
Erening Bulletin.
Since the adoption of thar law the
work OF extending our trade has been
gradual, but sure. Even the nasty
readers Of our daily papers have noted
from time to time the conclusions OF a
treaty with this nation or the report Of
progress in negotiations with that. But
neither they nor even their more
thoughtful associates had any concep-
tion oi of the scope Of the movements
thus recorded in the press as matters
OF only ordinary concern. One by one
the Latin countries to the south OF us
became parties to international agree
ments OF enormous benefit to the United
States. Then the more difficult: work OF
negotiating with European countries
begun. No hasty treaties were made
there. The majority OF those countries
were producers OF many OF the goods
which were made by manufacturers
here, and there could be no exchange of
these; but here She power to press for
the admission OF farm products was
calmly but iorcibly used, with resulls
that make four Of Tho principal nations

they never tell. The Democracy have
no Ineligible tariff scheme; nothing OF
the sort. They talk reform and mean
spoils. They got the house of represen-
tatives with their cheap-money fade,
and have already repudiated them.
They are fussing over tariff reform, and
whether it is the Morrison bill or the
Mills bill. or any bill at all, they tell no
one or they do not know. They below

man they have whose head is above the

soil is thin, and in the north the Demo-
cratic booders buy what they want in
conventions that are auctions.

Of Europe part Of our available mar
kets at this time.
There wss undoubted cause for graft
fication over this result, but another
phase Of the question must be consider
ed before the sweeping nature of the
victory is understood. Every treaty
made under the act has been made to
the advantage OF protection. Not one
OF them has interfered with the protec-
tive features OF which Mckinley labored
so faithfully and which constitute the
chief value of the law. The Dem ocrat.
ic boasts that reciprocity was only tree
trade in disguise, that it could not be
carried into operation without pulling
down the whole protective system, has
been dis proved by the actual workings
OF law which owes no part Of its sue
cess to Democracy or free trade, and
this success instead OF weakening pro-
lection has strengthened that cause and
the party which representsit.

ABOUT SPRING HOUSE CLEANING.


Dame Nature is now in the midst Of
her spring house cleaning, which she
has various ways OF doing up. Occa-
sionally she gets on the rampage and
INDUCES in such violent outbreaks as
floods, cyclones, muttering thunders
and death.dealing lightnings. But most
OF her work is accomplished through the
still, small voice OF vernal breezes and
the gentle patter of April showers that
bring forth May flowers.
The wise house wife will initiate these
quiet methods Of the universal mother.
Sound and fury simplify nothing; the
greatest and best deeds are wrought in
silence. Silently stars shine and suns
and planets move noiselessly trees grow
flowers bud and blossom, md harvests
cover the smiling earth. As rule, il
is the small material forces and the
small people that fret and foam and
rave and bluster.
These renal ks are apropos OF that All
nual revolution which is now close up
on us, and which is too apt to cause a
sudden upheaval of household forces
and bring chaos to the domestic hearth.
When one sees the eternal order OF
things all at once snbverted, when con-
fusion worse confounded reigns upstairs
down stairs and in my lady's chamber,
when hidden enormities of moths, rats
and mice are dragged forth into the
glaring light of day; when old chests
and cupboards dsgorge their contents,
when carpets are up and bedsteads
down, when brooms and scrubbing
brush are rampant and the air reeks OF
soapsuds, when the house mother fol-
lowed by her forlorn hope OF servant
maids, attacks dirt, the arch enemy in
his stronghelds, with an energy born Of
determination and despair-when the
paterfamilias goes down 10 cellar to
seek thi ings that belong in the attic
when all this happens, one is inclined
to ask why everything need to be turn
ed topsy-turvy at the same moment and
we suggest that less heroic ways would
be better.
This thought naturally occurs to that
being who at this momentous season is
such an utter nonentity, the masculine
head OF the household. II wise he will
be chary about expressing it, for the
most angelic housewife is apt, at this
trying time, to lose her seraphic temper
and may be relied on TO tell her liege
lord that his advice will be asked for
when needed; that il he really wants to
help, he will keep out OF the way and
attend to his own affairs.
But the disinterested observer will
see that there is sense in this mild re-
volt, whether silent or expressed, and
reflect upon the great advantage Of
knowing how to take things by the
smooth handle. He will also recall the
fact that in the worlds great revolution
those that have made haste slowly have
been most lasting and effective.
