In q remote hamlet back East
lived a demure maiden and bashful
young man, who had for some years
been living with one and the same OBJ
ject. They were both hopeless vic
tins of "love microbes that were
doing most effective work under the
direction of Cupid himself. Harry
suddenly evoke up" and decided that
procrastination was the thief of time
and-bliss- and Immediately set
about to bring matters to a focus.
Hattie, may III, err I" but he
took a header over into bashfulness
Again, would you-o-oo." This time
Hattie, remembering 1t being Leap
Year, came to his rescue with a
sweet Eyes. Harry, dear, 1 er-er-I've
been trying to say yes all this time,
and mean it, too, if-er- you do" and
to this day Harry insists that he
popped the question.
In a short time there was a we'd
ding, and 1t was not much longer
before Uncle Dan Tayor, of Caldwell,
wrote effusively of what he termed
her grit and proposed that If they
would locate here, he would start
them up In life. They accepted, and
at once began to bid loved ones adieu
and were soon speeding in this d.
rection.
Afer breakfast, the enxious new
corners, at Uncle Dams request, ac-
companied him down town with a
view to getting acquainted and ar
ranging In detail all the matters in
cidental to building and furnishing
the new home, land now for a de-
sirable spot" said Uncle, "to build
on; let's go over and confer with
Hodson & Bishop, our well-informed
and wide-awake real estate agents,
where Is listed the best properties in
town and country about" The trio
were cordially received at he Office
and 1t wasn't long before Messrs Hold

Uncle Dams first gift to his newly
married niece is to be a new resi-
dence-a "Reminiscences of colonial of
colonial architecture-to cost about
$4,000 completed. 1t was designed,
and the plans drawn up by our fav-
orably known architect, T. H. Soule,
In the Little Block, whose original
and artistic taste is exemplified on
every hand in many of Caldwell's
business blocks and better class resi-
dences. 'Mr. Soule Is held in high
esteem by his clientele" remarked
Uncle to the bride as they sat in the
hotel office looking at the perspective
view from the plans that Mr.. Soule
had Just delivered to them.
Having arranged for lot and the
plans for the new house, the trio next
called on A. F. Evett, Caldwells best
informed and amply facilitated con-
tractor and builder, where Uncle Dan
awarded the contract to build the
residence, asserting that nobody ever
Questioned Mr.. Evett's integrity or
ability In executing a contract to the
letter and on time, too. Mr.. Evett can
point with a degree of satisfaction
to many OF our best buildings that
have assumed shape under his prac-
tical and careful supervision.
I'm erecting a home, one, perhaps
to be left as a tribute of family pride
to succeeding generations, it is alb
solutely important to use only Al

wise, in a decade or so the building
would topple over" But" said the
generous Uncle with an assured air,

trade
I'm the matter of plumbing" re-
marked Uncle Dan, I'VE cannot use
too much care, for both health and
comfort depends on good sanitary
conditions, and nothing contributes
to this end as does scientific plumb
ing, and when coupled with the use
Of porcelain bath tubs, wash bowls,
good sinks and pretty and appropri-
ate fixtures, it combines convenience
and comfort and as we'll a pleasing
In terror effect. Now, to avoid
