There just many good fish in the sea
As ever were caught in net
And anglers all the world will agree
The best is swimming yet
So do not repine
If the end of your line
Shows no sign that there's anything tugging;
Just stick to your work
Don't weaken or shrk-
For nothing will come without plugging.
Though effort and struggle should fail to coerce
The end that you aim to achieve,
And matters from bad grow steadily worse,
Just cheer up and roll up your sleeve.
For Success always fits
From the fellow who quits
While she welcomes the man who's a fighter.
Though at first she be shy.
She will yield by and by
To the wooer whose merits invite her.

This Question Is Important In Painting
House or Other Building.

A proper color scheme is extremely
important in painting a house. 1t
makes all the difference between a
really attractive home and one at

in the price the property will bring on
the market.
As to the exterior, a good deal de-

Of the house, and upon its surround.

must consider the size of the rooms,
the light, etc.
You can avoid disappointment by
studying the books Of color schemes
for both exterior and interior painting,
which can be had free by writing Ma

Sultan and installed on the throne.
What disposition has been made Of
the fallen ruler is not known, but 1t II
believed that he has been conveyed to

This coup de etat Of the Constitu.
tionalists was unexpected. as the gen.
erals commanding the victorious
forces have been giving out interviews
all day. stating that the fate Of the sui
tan rested with parliament
It Is understood that at a sec 1t
meeting Of the committee of notable
men the decision was reached to re-
move the Sultan at once, before ne
could have time to gather strength in
the provinces among the fanatical
tribesmen.
EoA . N4hlc luiS appeared
that the fighting for the possession of
the capital was not ended. When
Enver Bey demanded the submission
Of the artillery In the Scutari barracks
the commander replied:
I'VE have 100 guns here and 1000
men. II we are attacked we will bonn
bard the city into pile OF dust"
To this the reply was sent: I'VE
will make you 80 busy In taking care
Of US that you will have no time to
think OF the city. Besides, you have
only 100 rounds apiece for those guns"
Chefket Pasha then ordered sixty
big guns and several batteries of ma
chine guns to positions which COM
manded the barracks. and the cruiser
Medijieh steamed out Of range Of tho

There was terrible fighting In tho
capture of Constantinople yestersry.
The number Of casualties probably AL

Into the thousands.
