About the House.

\ measure of order, simplicity and
fitness must be obtained in the ar
rangement of furnishings, or they will
lose their original beauty and give the
effect of medley of furniture, draper
les and pictures.
A room that lacks the element of
comfort is never inviting, however ex-
pensive its appointments may be.
In furnishing bedroom we are
dealing with the lungs ofthe house, and
whatever else we do we must not OBJ

ALMOST WENT TO CUBA.
fell a Small New York Mes
senRer Boy.

There was certain small boy in New
York who did not enlist, but who came
very near going to Cuba with the sol
diers. lie was a district messenger boy,
and was sent with a telegram to one of
the transports bound for Cuba.
As he did not know how much it
would cost to send reply he ran to the
office to ask. When he came back all
was hurry and confusion on board the
transport. If he had been little bet
ter acquainted with the ways of boats,
he would have known that the trans
port was about to sail, but he did not
know, and he ran unsuspiciously up the
plank and began searching for the
sender of that telegram
He was still searching when he felt
a strange movemt mt of the boat that
sent him hurrying on deck to see what
was the matter. big stretch of water
lay between himself and the dock. and
he realized that he had started for Cuba.
Visions of Cuba and glory mingled with
thoughts of home and the company
waiting for his services. He wanted to
80 to Cuba, but it was imperative that
he should get ashore with that tele-
gram, He caught sight of the officer
who had sent the message.

ashore" said the l'ttle fellow. braveIy.
But how to do ii was not quite clear.
The officer looked puzzled for a mo-
ment, and then hurried away, and the
hoy waited and wondered how he was
going to get back to the office. Then
lie heard voices calling and answering.
and big boat came alongside. The Of
ficer gave him the money and instruc-
tions how TO get over the side of the
boat, and in due time the boy was at
the dock and Cuba and glory had
faded.
Two hours behind time he found him
self at the office, and met scolding
from the superintendent. which
changed. however, to something like
admiration as that officer heard the
lads story. A boy who could get out
o. such difficulty, and was sufficiently
in earnest in his work to resist visions
OF glory and adventure, would make
a good messenger boy. So he was
started on another errand, in which it
is to be presumed be had no such un-
usual temptation to Youths

Their Golden Wedding Day.

Hadyou searched the whole coun-
try over you could not have found
happier group Of children and
grandchildren than those that were
assembled at the John Turner home,
down in the vicinity of Lorah, on
Thursday, November 16, 1899, for on
that day our good friend John and
wife had trudged along, life's high
way for fifty years together, and
were quietly sitting i'll their home
wondering if any of the absent
children were aware that this was
their golden wedding day, and wish
ing they were with them, and hap
pening to glance out of the window
they beheld their eldest daughter,
Mrs. Charlie Parrot, and her hus-
band, who live up near Extra, drive
up to the door and alight. Next
came their son, Nathan, and family
whose home is up in Greeley town
ship; then Mrs. Alice Crawford and
husband, whose home it at Mas
sena, Cass county, dropped in; and
then Tom Turner and family, from
Old Grove City, near Atlantic, came;
and then Mrs. Nerna Beckett, of
Cumberland, and her family ar. w.
ed at the parental home; and these,
with the two children, at home, Miss
Belle and Will Turner made the
family party complete. All of these
invaders brought we'll filled baskets
OF good things to eat with them and
after bidding their astonished but
happy parents be seated they pro-
ceeded to arrange the long table
and pile 1T full of goodies until it
could hold no more, when all gath
cred about, and such a feast as it
was, spiced With jollity and wit
which was kept up until the low
setting sun warned them that they
must take their departure, which
they reluctantly did, but not before
they had piled father and mothers
lap full of presents and left them
sitting, with the slanting rays of the
setting sun streaming through the
western windows, seated in two
handsome new rockers, their hearts
too full for words but strong pres
sure of the right hand and a tear
eye and then coursed it's way adown
their cheeks, they silently babe
them goodbye, then turned them
selves about and went INTO the
house. two of the happiest people in
all that fair domain. Mr.. and Mrs

their lives may be spared for many
