SORROW. next Joy. is what we ought to pray for.
As, next to peace, we profit most from pain
The best, however. is considered none
too good for free-born American citizens :;
and the pursuit of joy and peace, as the
constituent of happiness, is one of the in-
al;enabn rights claimed for all men in the
immortal Declaration of Independence.
Mr.. Henry l.. Weed of Belfast, Me-, has
had exceptional success in the pursuit Of
that without which. in general, neither en-
ioyment nor happiness is possiole.-good
health. He is a young msn who, for thir-
teen years, had been afflicted with r'ieuma-
tism. Indigestion. and a cough, which last
was so constant and troublesome, particu-
lsrly since a severe attack of La Grippe,
that he was spprehensive of con-
sumption, members OF hs
family having died of that disease.
He suffered almost constantly from rhen-
mati.m. which particularly affected his right
foot, to such an extent that he was IRE
ouently unable to work for days and even
week. At time. He had been treated by
many regular physicians and had expended
large amount of money for various poru-
lar patent medicines without receiving any
benetit from either. He says;

How much very little change may do to
make your home cheerful and beautiful: II
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 Qaimby's Art Rooms at n trifiiny
cost and will do wonders in
Frightening up the home If you feel
disposed to DO more, and make your annual
house cleaning rs complete as possible why
not have fewo the old dingy dust grimmed
frames replaced with new ones? This
need not be expensive. Some very beauti-
full and dainty frames can now be made
from the many srt site n...nhhags iha. nov
come in the low priced grades. The art of
moulding manufacture has progressed won
derfully in recent years and among the va
riety of late styles that may be seen ut
Quimby's art rooms-the largest assortment
ever carried in the kennebec Valley-sre
beautiful mouldings which can be made up
at wonderfully low prices, and at the same
time make handsome and stylish frames.
Don't go elsewhere to have pictures framed
until you see his mouldings and get his
prices. Perhaps you think Of having s new
frame for family portrait. The fiashy frame
that you bought from a glib-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 a
beautiful portrait frame thst will not fade,
or warp, or spring at the joints or grow
diugy with wear. They are stylish and in
good taste, and if you take your portrait
out of its old frame and place il in one of
these you will add much To the attractive
ness of your home and never have
cause TO regret your action. Those who re-
side outside the tity should hunt up these
art rooms. Don't think that because you
desire moderate priced frame you cannot
find it there. Mr.. Quimhy has a very wide
range of mouldings at varying prices and
can give you tasty frame at any figure you
feel able to pay.
