This is ten-room house. Some
times when there are number of chill
dren in a growing family a house of
ten rooms becomes a necessity.
Ideas in regard to the size of houses
have changed very much in the last
ten years. People are not building
larger than they need, not 80 much
because the expense of building has
somewhat increased, but the principal
rason is that help cannot be secured
to do the necessary housework A
great many women have killed them
selves trying to keep a large house
looking nice enough to satisfy their
women friends, but women are learn
ing wisdom and are becoming content
with smaller houses, houses that pro-
vide just room enough for their fami-
Hes and one or two occasional guests.
Sometimes families need house with
four or five bedrooms, then plan like
this seems to fit in just right
Looking at the perspective it will be
noticed that this house tones up with
the best of them. 1t is the kind of
building that satisfies persons pride,
and every one should have pride
enough to appreciate a good home and
feel satisfied with it,
The mere fact Of having a large
house won't satisfy anybody. There
must be more to a home than the
building, but family of from six to
ten persons should be able to estab-
fish a very satisfactory home in
house like this
The building is 80 feet in width by
81 feet 6 inches in length, and the
porch is extra, size sufficient to lay
out nicely into large pleasant rooms,

A s. ewing room is one of the neces-

havef sewing going on in one of the liv-

the proper working of the whole house,
but having room like this, large and

er, that for the time being represented
home to us.
This was much the best shot I ever
made; and it is just such shot as
any one will occasionally make if he
takes good many chances and fires
often at ranges where the odds are
greatly against his hitting. l suppose
l had fred dozen times at animals
four or five hundred yards off, and
now, by the doctrine of chances, hap
pened to hit; but would have been
very foolish if l had thought for a
moment that had learned how to hit
at over four hundred yards. I have
yet to see the hunter who can hit
with any regularity at that distance,
when he has to judge it for himself:
though have seen plenty who could
make such long range hit now and
then. And I have noticed that such
q hunter, in talking over his expert
ence, was certain soon to forget the
numerous misses he made. and to say.
and even to actually think, that his oc-
oasional hits represented his average
shooting. ~
One of the, finest black-tail bucks l
ever shot was killed by lying out in a
rather unusual place. I was hunting
mountain-sheep. in stretch Of very
high and broken country, and about
midday, crept cautiously up to the
edge Of a great gorge, whose sheer
walls went straight down several hun
dred feet. Peeping over the brink of
the chasm 1 saw a buck, lying out on
q ledge so narrow as to barely hold
him, right on the face of the cliff wall
opposite, some distance below, and
about seventy yards diagonally across
from me. He lay with his legs half |
stretched out, and his head turned SO |
as to give me an exact center-shot at |
his forehead; the bullet going in be-
tween his eyes. so that his legs hardly |
so much as twitched when he received |
1t.
1t was toilsome and almost dam
gerous work climbing out to where he
lay; have never known any other
individual, even of this bold and adj
venturous species Of deer, to take it's
monday siesta in place so barren Of
all cover and so difficult of access
even to the most sure-footed climber.
This buck was as fat as prize sheep,
ever killed; while his antlers also
were, with two exceptions, the best
ever got.

Ae feature Of this house that looks
well outside and is appreciated inside
is the manner of building the extern
sion window seats. They add to the
size of the room to the extent of the
seat, but they add more to the ap-
pearRnce of the room because these
windows may be dressed up very nice
ly. The seats are usually fitted with
cushions having attractive covers Of
bright colors.
A little ingenuity will make such a
seat very comfortable and the light is
so good that they are preferred for
reading and the children like such
places for studying. 1t requires a lit
tie care to arrange them to look we'll
and at the same time have them serv-
iceable so that you do not feel nerv-

them to their own purposes, especially

JUDGE A. HEATON ROBERTSON
Democratic Candidate for Governor.
A BRIEF BIOGRAPHY.

Bot comparatively few people seem
to know Judge Robertson intimately.
This is not to his discredit, but
rather to his worth as q man coming
before the people of the state for their
suffrage for the highest office in their
gift.
Judge Robertson was born in New
Haven Sept. 25. 1850. He prepared
for college at the famous Hopkins
Grammar School and graduated from
Yale in the class of 1872, with the
degree of Bachelor of Arts, following
this with a postgraduate course of
two years at Columbia Law School,
New York. from which he graduated
in 1874. In 1894, Trinity honored
him with the degree of Master of
Arts,

training, he early took active parti.
cipation in municipal affairs and Local
politics. He was appointed aid or
the staff of Governor Charles r. In.
gerscll, serving in 1873, ia, 70 and
'76, throughout the two terms OF
Governor Ingersoll.
In 1880 the people of New Haven
elected him to the lower branch of
the General Assembly, serving thre.
years, going into the senate in 1885
and '66. there then being annual
sessions. In 1886 he was elected
Judge of Probate, continuing in office
until 1895.
Judge Robertson's ancestry is Scotch
and English On his mothers side
he is descended from James Heaton,
who came from England, and in 1888
was one of the Puritan colony that
settled in New Haven. On his
paternal side he is of Scotch ancestry.
Judge Robertson has travelled quite
extensively through Europe, number
of times visiting nearly all the eastern
and southern countries, the West
Indies, the far West and the Canadian
Provinces.
Matters so apparently personal az
those mentioned take on an interest
when they pertain to a candidate for
the highest Office within the gift of
the people of the state, for the
governor is the representative of the
states sovereignty, and by virtue. of
his office must realize that his per-
sonality, his likes and dislikes are of
daily gossip and comment. The as.
pirant for the high Office of governor,
for that reason, must needs expect
that his human qualities and these
points on which he stands out az a |
state character, will be enquired into
by the people.
