Fern said great many wise things
in her whimsical way, and, among
others, this: "Wives, you need a
good stock of love to start with it

who love, find it necessarily to
draw upon their reserve capital,
what will you do who only respect
the man you marry? He may be
thoroughly good, }" but good men
can be irritable and penurious and
fault-fnding. Will respect shut

Marrying for a home is the hard

there is another side to the question.

Little Story, With a Sequel, of Sharp
Dealing with a Neighbour.

Little Story, with Sequel, of Sharp
Dealing with a Neighbour.
There is at least one man in New York
who is convinced that it does not pay to be
too smart. He is the owner of ono of two
brick houses standing side by side in II
street west Of Central park Not many
months ago there were two vacant lots
where the houses now stand. The owner
of one of the lots decided to build. When
the walls of the new house were about
completed, the owner of the adjoining lot
decided to follow his example. He employ
cd a surveyor to stake out the house The
surveyor discovered that the walls of the
house in course of erection ON the other lot
extended just one inch over the property
line. He informed his employer of the
fact who Immediately communicated with
the owner of the property, demanding an
eXorbitant sum for the property acciden-
tally appropriated.
The owner of lot No. did not prove a
complacent victim to the eXtortion. He at
once gave orders to have the offending wall
torn down and rebuilt The other man,
rather disappointed at being q victim of
his own avarice, proceeded with the cree
ton of the second house, building his wall
close against that of the first house erected.
When the second house was all completed,
the owner moved in. A few days afterward
he was dumfounded to receive a notice
similar to the one he had sent out himself,
demanding the same amount as he had
named, the reason being stated, 1.-THE walls
of the house you have just completed and
are now occupying extend one inch over
the property line on my property" He
employed "a surveyor again and found that
the statement was only too true. What
had happened was this; The owner of the
first offending WALL when he had had il
torn down, had, with elaboration and
malice aforethought, caused the wall to be
rebuilt one inch on his own side of the line,
realizing that the second house would prob
ably be built close against the first There
was a choice of Two things for the owner
of lot No. to do-cither to move out OF

home be as much like paradise as
possible-a blessed oasis in memory.
For small children, toys, simple ones
or homemade, or those they are
helped to make for themselves, are
best let boys have some kind of
work shop, and girls a work basket
and round-end scissors, and plenty
of material for invention or expert

taste, pencils, drawing paper and
paints, If they like art. Let them go
fishing or picnicing when cOnven-

games, add much to the keeping of
children peaceably at home. Puz-
zles, checkers, chess, dominoes; the
games of authors, jack straws, ETC.,
all help to give children pleasant
amusements on rainy days; chill

self-sacrifice, courtesy, ingenuity and
quickness of thought.
Now, that the long winter even

ELECTRIC RITTERs.

Electric Bitters is medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gen.
orally needed when the languid, ex-
hausted feeling prevails, when the
liver is torpid and sluggish and the
need Of tonic and Alternative is felt. A
prompt use of this medicine has often
averted long and perhaps fatal bilious
fevers. No medicine will act more
surely in counteracting and freeing the
system from the malarial poison. Head

ness yield to Electric Bitters. SOC and
