the old gentleman continued. "That
is also of Importance. You will want

friend, W. M. Jones & Co. not only has
lines of the solidest and best compa-

NOW how about the plumber and
remember you said you would see
somebody for that" Jes so, jes so;
and we shan't have any botcher do the
work either. I'll talk to W. Ell. r.
Schroeder about that. We've got to
have water pipes put in, hot water
heater, some tin roofing, sporting tub,
besides some sanitary fixin's and W,

the work. He observes closely all the
hygienic laws, guarding against dan

''Lsw sakes!" suddenly exclaimed
Uncle Josh, ''all this trading round
town has caused me to forget another
ole or two of the greatest essentials to
future existence, Newly married
folks can't live on love and scenery
any more than anybody eIse-but your
table would look slim without bread;
it's the staff of life, you know. Polly
must make the acquaintance of Barney
Ball, of the Americus bakery. His
bread, pies and cakes and nick -nacks
are conceded by all to be the finest on
earth. Remember, Charley, there is
no use OF your 'ootsy tootsy' botherlng
