AN OLD FRENCH CASTLE"
Fort Niagara at the Mouth of the
Niagara River Has Interesting
History.

Buffalo, N. Y.-No place in America
possesses more interesting history
than old Fort Niagara at the mouth of
the Niagara river. The story of the
possession by the Indians, then the
French, British and Americans each
in succession, and then by the British
again and finally by the Americans,
is intensely interesting. Many of the
old buildings are still in an excellent
state of preservation and are in con-
slant use by the present occupants of
Fort Niagara. The building shown in
the illustration is the old French
mess" house or castle" as it is now
called. 1t was begun by the French
in 1925 and finished in 1926 1t is
said to be the oldest existing masonry
work west of Albany. Its dimensions

Has some wise person been putting
1t into your pretty head that James
Is, to your eye, as transparent as a
piece OF window glass as that you can

Have you been getting all puffed up

Even in this case, pause upon the
brink and let me tell you about it.
Because, if James amounts to row

heart throbs-and heart throbs are
about all you are calculating on.
Take it from me, Genevieve heart
throbs, taken alone, make a shaky
foundation for your knowledge of
James. There is lot more to James
than heart throbs.
That is the trouble with your mar
ried life, Genevieve. You are trying
to take James entirely on a basis of
heart throbs, Because he courted you
that way, you have an idea that this
is about adjust heart throbs. Why,
even in an ideal world, where every
James was not making an honest eff
fort to corral your James job, heart
throbs would wax tolerably wobbly
after a bit, as the sole and only foun-
dation for you and James to get along
on. But as things are arranged in
our present state of society, they are
not only bad as steady diet, but they
are absolutely annoying to James be-
cause they are calculated to interfere
with business.

Friendliness is. after all, but little
more than courtesy. Any man can be
courteous without much effort, but
apparently only few connect the
two. Friendliness is tho development
OF courtesy, which makes it warm.
Somehow it puts little heart into
the acts which are cold and inclined
to formality when one is merely cour-
teous. And yet courtesy has at it's
root word meaning heart, which in
dicates that it is supposed to spring
from the heart, leading one to desire
to be of service to another.-Cleve-
