Sympathy.

All men as well as women like to
be understood. Sympathy is their
greatest help, and no woman who is

beautiful, having a crowd of admirers
* her feet, but she cannot bestow that
Wonderful happiness a plain little wo-
man full Of sympathy gives to her hus-
band. -Woman's Life.

Unioue Picture Frames.

In an artists country home where
the built in idea prevails even to the

unique. They are set into the walls

as often as desired. Several sizes and
shapes of frames are provided, and by
a judicious use of mats almost any
picture may be made to fit.

This House has made good record in every

citizens have been unusually tolerant. There has
been no disposition 10 crticise the House unus,ly;
in fact the general disposition is give the House
credit for all tile good work which has been done.
But principle IL involved in this gnrbage prob

this service by voting yes to the Constitution
