went into the house, but consciousness

room 1t was four hours later when
she was discovered by the family. She
was still unconscious, and was a CORY
object to behold. The only clear spot
on her face was that surrounding the
wound, which the dog had licked until
the flow Of blood was staunched. He
was at his post of duty when the doctor
arrived, and it was then discovered
that his attention to his mistress for
more than three hours had saved her
life. His paws and part of his body
were blood stained and he had made
no effort to clean himself.

Buying Homes on Easy Terms

The contract between the company
and its clients stipulates a monthly
payment during ten, fifteen, or twenty
years. at the choice of the pure h aser.
This sum includes an installment on
account of principal, six per cent. in
terest on deferred payments, and the
life insurance premium. Taxes and
repairs are paid by the purchaser. eli.
ents are advised to obligate themsely es
for twenty year period rather than
ten or fifteen, because in 80 doing they
are the better able to provide against
contingencies arising from non.em.
ploy ment, sickness or other unexpected
events. That is, man need not mort
gage his income beyond safe point.
The company gives him the privilege
OF paying sooner If he wishes. Either
the whole or par of his indebtedn mesa
is receivable at any time, and his in
terest account properly adjusted. This
plan permits man to provide for
"lean" years. There is also the en-.
couragement to save, and thus get the
home moro quickly. Both are import.
ant considerations, because habits of
thrift thus engendered are likely to be.
come fixed. Payments made in advance
are most effective guaranty against
dispossession. The life insurance policy
has also loan value in any year after

homes under this scheme are in every

When vessel sinks in the channel

The value Of the vessels delayed by a

$4,000 900. At one time seventy lake
steam vessels were anchored on the east
side Of the blockade and sixty on the

Costly Displays of Fireworks.

The cost of finely managed display
OF fireworks is no small consideration.
AT the Presidential inauguration at
Washington March 4, 1885. $4,000 was
paid to one company for fireworks, and
Twas shown one check for $1,000,
which was given for similar but more
extensive display at the Centennial of
Washingtons Inauguration, April 80,
1889. Paris and London have always
been exceeding lavish in this regard.
As early as 1897, $50, 900 were spent in
London on fireworks to celebrate the
peace Of Ryswick. In 1914 an even
larger amount was spent to celebrate
in st. James Park the Tooth anniyer-

This Because Young Woman Was Detained

There were only four persons in tht

Cousin EN-, boarded the train at c.,

retreated to the center of the car and
proceeded to relate to the passengers
how she had only come aboard ito
help Cousin Effie on with the baby and
things, because Cousin David is no
