larger by nursing.
A girl never truly loves man if she
admits he has faults.
The longest periods in the life of
small boy are those between meals.
There are many kinds of foolishness,
but the meanest kind is selfishness.
It's all well enough to believe in fate
providing you act as if you didn't.
It is always a trying moment for a
woman when her dress comes home
from the modiste.
When a man tells woman a joke
he usually has to follow it up with an
explanation.
Many a self-made man might be hap
pier if he could blame the job on some
body else.
A woman's idea of a congeniaI hus-
band is one who let's her have her own
way in everything.
A man who is supposed to know says
that marriage without love is like tripe
without onions.
When some men get up in the world
everybody appears small to them-and
they appear small to everybody.
There are many different occupations
in the world, but every man, woman
and child grows older at the same time
Many a man stubs his toe on the
threshold Of success.

GAGE ANNEX AT STORMONT.
Plans For Building Approved by Mrs.
Gage.

The plans and specifications for the
Gage annex to Stormont hospital have
been completed satisfactorily. Mrs Gage
has set aside from her estate the $4,000
necessary to build and equip the new
structure, and the contract for the work
will be let next week. Within the next
three months the annex will be ready
for occupation.
The new building will double the capac-
ity of the hospital and give the institution
one of the most modernly constructed and
equipped operating rooms in the west. A
male and female ward have been arrang-
ed for in the annex, and this will enable
the hospital to better handle charity
work than at preSent.
