A cottage house "a feet wide by 46
feet long is shown in this plan. 1t is
q little house for small family, and
may be built for $1,000, if the owner
does not insist on too many fancy fin
ishings. There are a great many
similar houses in the smaller towns
all over the country. There is 2 de-
mand for more houses of this charac-
ter where lots are not too expensive.
It is not customary to see cottage
houses on high-priced lots in any
community. The value is not in har-
mony with the land. According to
real estate men a low cost house is
simply an incumbrance to an expen-
sive lot. 1t very often happens that
a vacant lot will sell for as much as
a similar lot with house on it, if
the house is small or old. Fashion
has a good deal to do with the value
of houses and real estate. Fashion
doesn't prescribe the shape Of the lot
or the lay of the land, but to be
high priced it must be in fashion
able neighborhood, and the lot must
be decorated with an expensive struc-
ture. Fashion will smile pleasantly
on an ugly house, providing only that
1t is expensive. If the house is cheap,
no matter how pretty it may be, the
ironclad fashionable conditions are
not fulfilled and the lot is not as
valuable as it would be if topped out
with an expensive pile of stones
heaped up in some sort of a grotesque
shape to meet the fancy of ignorant
snobs. This is the general condi-
ton Of things. There are many hap

Frank, open American confidence 1.
humanity is seldom misplaced. We
may occasionally waste good sub
stance on scalawags, but in the ma
jority of cases we are encouraging
genuine hospitality and good will
among men. We are continuing the
precedent established by our fore
fathers when the country was new
and acquaintances were necessarily
fewer than they are now, but the
principle is good one, and it should
be fostered. 1t may require more tact,
but there are ways of entertaining
our friends besides placing at their
disposal a lot of air space inclosed
with expensive walls and fancy
drapery. There are many arguments
in favor of building smaller houses.
1t is not necessary to tie up great
deal of money in house and home
unless a person has the fashion
craze, and in that case it is better
to take treatment and try to overcome
the disease.
A great deal of comfort way be
taken in a little cottage like this. It
is better to display good taste in
making it just as attractive as pos
sible than to spread ones energy over
a large structure and worry about
the interest coming due on the mort
gage.

STANDARD OIL Case
CLOSES SUDDENLY
JUDGE BANKER RULES OUT TES.
TIMONY OFFERED BY THE
PROSECUTION.
Lack of Ability to Prove Connection Of
Agent Who Allowed Rebates to Re-
tail Dealer, With Big Corporation
Turning Point In Trial.

Findlay, O., Oct. 16.-The end Of
the trial of the Standard Oil com,
pany of Ohio, for alleged conspiracy
against trade, came suddenly in sight
at the conclusion of the session Of
the court Monday.
The state was precluded by the rul.
ing of Judge Banker from offering a
line of evidence intended to show
that the Standard Oil company gave
secret rebates to retail dealers in
Oil.
Mr.. Phelps for the prosecution ad-
mitted that the state had no means
of showing that the Standard Oil COM
pany authorized its agents to offer or
give rebates. The court said that 1t
was a fundamental rule of evidence
that the authority of the agent must
be established.
A few witnesses for the defense
will be called, but it is stated that
the testimony will be all in on both
sides before the court adjourns Tues
day; that the argument of counsel to
the jury can be completed Wednes-
day, perhaps in time for Judge Bank
er to make his charge to the jury and
place the case in its hands.
Postpones Rockefeller Case.
An agreement was reached between
Prosecutor David and the attorneys
for the Standard Oil company where
by the case against John D. Rockefel-
Ter will not be set for trial until after
the present case has been finally dis
posed of, whether this is in the pro-
bate court, now conducting the trial,
or before the supreme court of the
state after all appeals have been ia.
ken. Until this agreement the Rookie
teller case had simply been post
poned until after the present trial Of
the company in the probate court.
Immunity Bath for Two.
John O'Brien, superintendent of
the Buckeye Pipe Line company, and
e. R. Curtain, superintendent Of the
Manhattan Oil company, both took
the immunity bath" before testify
ing in the case Monday.
With the exception of the last wit
ness, the evidence put in by the state
was from officers of the alleged con-
stituent companies of the Standard,
including the Buckeye Pipe Line, the
Manhattan Oil company, the Ohio
Oil company and the Solar Refining
company. 1t was testified to by off,
GERS of the Buckeye Pipe Line and
Oil company that the Standard Oil
company of New Jersey owned prac-
tically all of the stock of these COM
panies.

but even after she began to sell her
pictures she continued to be an en-
thusiastic student.
She went to France and Italy, where
she studied art in the best schools.
She was successful there, and event
ually went to South Africa and Asia
for landscapes.
Still heartfree and winning her own
way in the world, she settled down in
Florence, where the air is the very
breath of art, and where the sky is as
tender as the eyes of love.
Here in the course of her work she
met young painter named Burr Mich
OILS. He, too, was fine artist, and
their mutual tastes drew them much
together.
1t is strange that the very traits
and characteristics and the mutual
likes which give birth to love should
in the end be the means of its death
and funeral. The young artists did
not dream of the truth of these things.
How could the art from which love
sprang be it's murderer? Neither did
they reck of the future when they
became engaged. Was there not the
magic of love in their brushes? Were
they not bohemians enough to face
the future with light hearts? Could
they not paint the fearful eyes away
from the face of sorrow, and put the
cap and bells on the picture of pow
erty? On these fundamental beliefs
they were married.
Nichols, like his wife, was a fine
painter They lived an ideal life in
their studio. They painted together,
talked together, planned together, liV-
ing and dreaming for each other.
All, what a little fraud love is after
all! He had fired the last arrow in his
culver when he shot them through the
hearts, and then he left them, deeming
his duty done.
The Nichols artist family was in
creased by two lovely children as
time passed, and their happiness in
creased accordingly.
DECIDE AMERICA
is BETTER FIELD.
While they were prosperous and
contented In Florence they at last de-
cided that they could better them
selves in this country.
They came accordingly and settled
down in the studio quarter in New
York. They continued their successful
career, disposing of their pictures as
fast as they could paint them. They
were happier than most married peo-
pie. They made friendly criticisms of
each others work, adopted each 9TH
er's suggestions, were forbearing and
forgiving, as men and wives should be.
In 1897 Mr. Nichols began a picture
which, as it developed and the inspira-
ton took wings within him, he re-
solved to send to the Paris Salon. AS
the idea grew his work became more
painstaking. Should he succeed, the
added incentive as we'll as the pres
tige it would give him would be of

fatal blow, and under that blow love
withered. There was no more peace,
no more happiness in the household.
Seeing this, the children were silent
and miserable.
But the last straw came when Mrs.
Nichols picture, her famous Scarlet
Letter." received encomiums on both
sides of the Atlantic. The husband
had never done anything like it.
After a year of trouble the couple
separated, the husband going away
and the wife remaining to work out
her own career.
Thereafter her existence was peace
full, if lonely. There was but one easel
now, and one painter. There was but
one ambition, and that was the sup

for loves sake was farce.
