Ever Stop to Think

How much very little change may do to
make your home cheerful and beautiful; 1t
is well worth some study. Take for in
stance the old familiar pictures. How
much can be done TO beautify them by Just
changing their old faded and stained mats
By nice new ones. These can be secured
at Quimby'. Art Rooms at triting
cost and will do wonders in
Frightening up the home If you feel
disposed to do more, and make your annual
house cleaning as complete as possible why
not have fewof the old dingy dust grimmed
frames replaced with new ones! This
need not be expensive. Some very beauti-
full and dainty frames can now he made
from the many artistic mouldings that now
come IN the 10" priced grades The art of
moulding manufacture has progressed Won
derfully in recent years and among the va
rietv of late styles that may be seen at
Quimbys art roonIs-tle largest assortment
ever carried in the kennebec Valley-are
beautiful Iuouldings which can be made up
at wonderfully low prices and at the same
time make handsome and stylish frames,
Don't 20 elsewhere to have pictures framed
until YOU see his monldings and get his
prices. Perhaps you think of having new
frame for family portrait. The fiashy frame
that you bought from glb-tongued agent,
and thought was such a splendid bargain,
has begun to show its real quality. Its
joints are sprung, it looks old and warped
and dingy, and You feel that it was poor
economy ever to have invested in such
fraud. At Quimby's art rooms the
same amount of money will buy YOU
beautiful portrait frame that will not fade.
or warp, or spring at the joints or grow
dingy with wear. They are stylish and in
good taste, and if you take your portal,
out of its old frame and place it in one of
these you will adj much 10 the attractive
ness of your home and never have
cause to regret your action. Those who re-
side outside the city should hunt up these
art rooms. Don't think that because you
desire moderate priced frame You cannot
find it there. Mr.. tlumby has very wide
range of monllings at varying prices and
can give you a tasty frame at any figure You
feel able TO pay.

He Is Accused of Not Turning Over
Money Received for Tickets.
MACON, GA, Jan. 26.-Traveling Freight
Agent j. b. Sanders Of the East Tennessee
road, with headquarters in Savannah. and
recently ticket agent at Macon for the same
road. was arrested yesterday on a warrant
sworn out by G. G. Mcdonald OF the Geor-
gia Southern road. Mr.. Sanders was ar
rested, but was soon liberated on n bond of
$500. The warrant charged Mr.. Sanders
with Incorporating the money received
from the sale Of tickets furnished by the
Georgia Southern and Florida TO Mr.. San
ders, amounting to 500 50. Some weeks
ago Mr.. Mcdonald furnished Mr.. Sanders
with the tickets, and they were sold by Mr..
Sanders to the party for whom they were
intended. Mr.. Mcdonald claims that MIR.
Sanders has never turned over the money,
and hence the arrest. Mr.. Sanders denies
the charge, and says the proceeds from the
sales we're given to Mr.. Mcdonald in Atlanta
several weeks ago, and that MIR. Mcdonald
is trying to defend himself by claiming
that the money has not been turned over.
Mr.. Sanders says he will find no trouble in
convincing the court of the frailty of the
charge by proving Mr.. Mcdonald unworthy
Of belief. The case promises TO develop
some rich proceedings before it is ended.
