In the winter months. when the
ground is covered with snow and the
fire burns in the stove. is the season
when the family dreams of the new
house. Nor is there any more lauda-
able ambition than to own home.
The curse of modern life is the
necessity that compels millions to
live In rented apartments or houses.
And every normal man who pays rent
hopes some time to own home Of his
own. His children, he feels have
right to live under roof of their own,
and 1t is his ambition to give them
what is their right.
to build himself a home. This man
had few notions about what he want
ed In his house when 1t was finished.
he also knew how much he wanted to
expend in the construction of it. He
had gone into all the details and had
figured out all about the interior trim
and the kind of glass he wanted In the
house. Every detail he had figured
out and he had made up his mind
about everything before he consulted
his architect
Then In the natural order Of events
he went to see his architect and laid
before him his ideas. Everything was
clear and the architect proceeded to
draw up his plans after the directions
given. Then the next step was the
asking of bids from contractors There
were six bids, and all were within a
hundred dollars of one another. The
architect felt sure that the figures
were right in each case and advised
his client to make his selection. But
the client came to the conclusion that
the work could be done for less money
and he asked for bids from other con-
tractors. The results was the offer OF
one, an unknown contractor, to do the
work for a ridiculously low Figure
The client wanted the contract let to
this man, but the architect, who had
experience. advised him to give the

work to one of the first bidders be-
cause they were men who had repu-
tations for good work. The client was
insistent and the job was let to the
man of his choice. The house was
built, but what difference from what
had been planned. Inferior and cheap
grades of materials were used in ev-
cry possible form and in every item OF
the construction. There was careless
work everywhere, and things were
changed in the details to such an ex-
tent that when the house was finished

Senator Duncan U. Fletcher of Flor
Ida sought his berth one night on a
sleeping car on the way south from
Washington. Pulling back the cur.
tains of lower nine, he saw that his
bed was already occupied.
Hi, there!" called the senator,
shaking the stranger by the shoulder.
The sleeper awoke and protested
angrily.

Sos mine," agreed the intruder.
"Ah, | see," said the senator po-
litely. There must have been a mis-
take In reserving the same berth for
two men of the same name. 'I'll go
into the next sleeping car"
The stranger, by this time, was fully
awake, and proceeded to apologize,
and to offer to give up the berth. This
the senator would not do, but went
into the car ahead, and found a place
to sleep.
An hour later the train was wreck
ed. The car in which the stranger
occupied the lower nine fell through
trestle. and that Fletcher was
killed. The senator's car was not
damaged at all.-Popular Magazine.

This is one Of the highest COM
pliments ever paid to the level-head-

who cut off about two hundred mil
lion pounds of coffee when they
found by actual experiment Tin the

drug caffeine, in coffee, worked dis
comfort and varying forms Of dis
ease.
Some people haven't the charac-
ter to stop a habit when they know
1t Is killing them, but 1t is easy
to shift from coffee to Postum, for,
when made according to directions,
it comes to table a cup of beverage,
seal brown color, which turns to
rich golden brown when cream is
added, and the taste is very like
the milder grades of Old Govt Java.
Postum is a veritable food-drink
and highly nourishing, containing
all the parts Of wheat carefully pre-
pared to which is added about ten
per cent of New Orleans molasses,
and that is absolutely all that
Postum is made of.
