"A prize was offered recently by Lon
don Tit-Bits for the best answer to the
question: What is home?" Here are
d few answers which were received:
Home is the blossom OF which heaven
is the fruit.
a world of strife shut out. a world of
love shut in.
The golden setting in which the bright
est jewel is mother.
The only spot on earth where the faults
and failings of humanity are hidden I'M

The place where the great are some
times small and the small ofen great.
The fathers kingdom, the children's
paradise, the mothers world.
Where you are trented best and you
grumble most.
A little hollow scooped out of the windy
hill of the world, where we can be shield
ed from its cares and annoyances.

The Century of Fancy.

Nm Sarah Grand was asked which ceE-
tury other than the nineteenth she would
have liked to have lived in. This was
her answer:
..There is only one century that should
in the least have cared to be born in; the
century when the little children were all
happy, and the birds and beasts and fishes
talked to them wisely. and lived their own
lives in1peace. and were kind and good:
when all the ladies had long hair, and
many adventures. and all tha knights
were beauttful--eXcept the bad ones: when
virtue invariably triumphed, and the
wicked We're properly punished. without
being really hurt: when the right woman
invariably married the right man, and
lived happily ever afterward, and nobody
knew anything and everybody believed in
ghosts. That Is the only century besides
our own of Whclh have ever heard that

ing in..'

THE live merchant advertises in his home paper. If he does not he rests under the suspicion of having an old stock and is too lazy to try to get rid of it to re- place it with better one. When you want to buy goods read the home papers and buy of those who are energetic enough to work off their goods while fresh and therefore never have an old stock on hand. Such merchants never fail to call the attention of the public to their bargains. They always have bargains for they are wide awake and busy at close figures and sell for small profits. The magnitude of their sales makes their business pay.
