to blend with this perspective became
a matter to be approached with actual
reverence.
To begin with. it was necessary to
repaper the two front rooms. These
had been. originally, a parlor and a
bedroom. By having a door cut
through to the kitchen, the bedroom
was converted into a dining room.
Plain Indian-red paper, the best, in
our opinion as background for pic
lures, was laid on these walls, and a
molding to match set in. Portiere rods
were put in the doorways, and two
doors taken from their hinges and re-
placed by the portieres. These
draperies were rich Indian-red, and
the rods. of course, were invisible.
The piano. in a reddish-brown wal
nut case, stood at the south side of
the room. On the floor we laid mat
ting. of red and gold irregular pat
tern. The single table in the front
room was of mission make, of wealth
cred oak, with reddish buckskin
cover on it. and q red lamp, with red
globe, on the cover. The ceiling had
been laid with dull gold paper, and the
borders of the room of the same color
Chairs and rockers were of mahogany,
and of corresponding tint to paper
and mating.
In little alcove in the northeast
corner of this front room my writing
desk and typewriter stood. flanked
by a stand containing the Encyclope-
dia Britannica on one side, the die
fionary on revolving stand on the
other, and with case of reference
books near at hand. This little nook
was my workshop. All around this
front room were arranged bamboo
bookcases of various sizes. filed to
Overlooking with books of all sorts and
kinds, with very few of the famous
books of the world missing.

Chaucer, Ben Jonson, Swinbrrne,

many years. For, unlike the average
type, that is so perishable, these are
more substantial-like pictures-and
are really ornamental enough to hang
on a wall or to use on a bedroom
table. They differ from the ordinary
styles in that there are comparatively
few verses or lines relating to the
day or conveying messages Of love.
In addition to these changes, there is
another marked one, that is the alb
sence Of glittering gold or silver
decorations, which save the valen-
tines from being gaudy. The colors
used are conservative, too, and alto
gether they will make desirable pres
ents for girls and young women, for
they are free from silly sentimen-
tally and are quite artistic in de-
sign.

I'm happy only where she is.
To see a beauty CLEAN of her,
Then when away to dream of her,
Makes even absence a delight,
Illumined by reflected light.
So good she is. so pure she is.

And love has opened the door to me.
So what can life give more to me?
No merit in myself 1 see,
Yet her dear hand has lifted me.

Pretty Love Tokens Of the Past.


Sir Walter Scott, in his Fair Maid
of Perth" on ST. Valentines day, has
his hero send the heroine small ruby
cut in the shape of heart transfixed
with golden arrow, the gem being
inclosed in a tiny purse made of links
Of finest steel. Around the edge Of
the purse was engraved:
Loves darts
Cleave hearts
Through mail shirts"
Surely 1t was pretty enough token
to win the affection of any maid.
These eighteenth-century valentines
were indeed labors of love. and small
wonder that on that day the bellies
heard the fall of the knocker with
eager anticipation

reception was accorded william j.

audience.
The keynote OF Mr.. Hryan's speech
was that Democratic principles are

ed the Women's s:lub and later left

To-day the Democratic Party pre-
sents a united front and is' more har-
monious than have ever known II to
be. Travelling from one state to
another hind everywhere that Demo-
arats are ready to fight for pure DEM
ocracy. Why is 1t that our party en-
tsrs into this night with the spirit that
Ii does? 1t Is because time has vim
dicated the attitude of the Democratic
Party. The Democratic Party has
foreseen our danger and pointed out the
remedy. Our opponents are always
talking about complicated questions OF
government. Thomas Jefferson, the
founder of the Democratic Party, said
the art of government was the art OF
being honest.
This government is run in the inter-
est of predatory wealth and In the in-
terest Of O few people. II we start
with the proposition that ali men are
created equally politically and with the
proposition that the object of the gov
eminent Is to secure equal rights for
all, you will find that these PROPOSE
tions have been crystalized IN the
Democratic principles of equal rights
for all and special privileges to none.
In eleven years of complete power,
the Republican Party. aided by all cir-
cumstances, has not strengthened ons
Republican policy. Every Democrats
policy is stronger now that II ever was

Mr.. Bryan said the Presidents re-
cent message indicated there was
conspiracy among men of wealth 10

The conspiracy was n consequence OF
the delivery of the country to the
highest bidder
Mr.. Bryan also said that Secretary
Taft wanted to amend the present law
against conspiracy in restraint OF trade
by inserting the word "unreasonable'
and asked why not make the same
amendment to the law against bur-
Elary or murder. so that the burglar
