THE PRESIDENTS RESPONSE
Mrs. Higbee responded in charac-
teristic vein. She referred to the
pleasure the women had in visiting
Sank Centre, to the warmth of greet
ing and the genuineness of the well
come, and especially to the fact that
the Federation now views the fruit
of its labors in the Minnesota Home
School for Girls.
Following Mrs. Higbee's response,
Miss Margaret j. Evans, first presi-
dent of the Federation, appeared with
cordial greeting Miss Evans re-
viewed the work Of the Federation in
a,a earnest manner. She told of the
establishment h a t was expressed
when it was announced that woman
proposed to organize for the discus
sion Of topics pertaining to social and
other problems. The club woman,
she believed need not neglect her
children and starve her domestic life
by Joining WomanS club: on the
contrary, she believed that club life
of the proper kind helped her the bet
ter to perform her duties to her hus-
band, her home and her children.
Miss Evans emphasized the import
ance of sacrifice and the beneficial re-
suits that came therefrom. Her tif-
teen minutes talk was replete with
valuable suggestions for the women,
and was cordially received.

special committees to serve during
the convention. Following are the

Mr. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF

no building owner wants a cheap job
on his house. If cheap work is ac-
cepted by the owner, IL is usually be-
cause he is incompetent to Judge. In
ferior workmanship and materials a
little under the best grades look all
right to him, and a poorly built job
goes through; but inferiority is bound
to show up later on.
Most architects are Loyalty and ener-
getically trying to get good work on
every building they design, whether a
$4,000 house or a 100000 office
building. Most contractors take pride
in building up reputation for hon
esty and integrity, since their earn
est, conscientious methods of doing
business are as much in the interests
of architecture as in their own.
There is no excuse for cheap work.
Every inferior job is occupying space
which would be better utilized by a
building of enduring construction. It
endangers surrounding buildings, de-
preciates the entire architectural pro-
fession and contracting trade by con-
veying false ideas of cost to building
owners, and hurts regulations Of
architects, builders and owners.
Even in real estate work, houses
built to sell bring no profit in the long
run to owners through whose hands
they pass, unless they are honestly
built. On the other hand, most reput-
able real estate operators have proved
time and time again that well-built
attractively designed houses yield
larger profit although the first cost
may be much greater than for houses
flimsily built.

cradle saving on the cost Of the in
dividual mantel by making up each
pattern in considerable quantities.
Were it possible nowadays to obtain
only those clumsy and ugly patterns
which were found in the best cata-
logues a dozen years or so ago, there
might be some necessity for having
specially designed mantels in your
house; but the same evidence of the
progress of good faith is TO be found
in the present-day factory mantels
that will be found in up-to-date furni-
ture. Nobody thinks nowadays of go
ing to a cabinet maker and having
him make our tables chairs, bedsteads,
or chiffoniers to order. Instead, we
visit the furniture store, where we
find in stock, or will be shown photo
graphs of them in the catalogues, ar
tistic and well-made furniture of every
period style, as well as in the mod
ern so-called new art" or crafts
man" type.
The design shown herewith has
been selected as worthy example
of some of these points already
brought out Although of compare
lively small size, the plans and speci-
fications for this design call for an eX-
ceptionally well-built structure. The
design provides for a compact resi-
dence. and permits OF nothing snowy
or deliberately ornate to become d.
lapidated or to get out of style
The interior of the house is ar
ranged most extensively, with a good
sized reception hall, large connecting

the kitchen and pantry on the first
floor The central decorative feature
of the interior is a large open fire

wall of the dining room. Altogether
the effect OF the downstairs is light

ON the second floor are two large
bedrooms with clothes closets. The
bathroom is also on this floor, being
directly over the kitchen.
This house has been built complete
for $4,000, using thorough construction
and good grade OF building materials.

from their own special designs and
expressing their own individuality;
but this will cost more than mantel

built substantially of the best struc-
tural material obtainable.
1t is also important for houses to
be finished well inside, If they are to
prove a desirable investment. For
instance, hardwood doors and trim

A DELAYED Execution.

An eighteenth century execution on
Remington common was stopped for
a time owing to strange cause. On
Aug. 10, 1863, two days before the
date of the execution. a heavy fog
came over London. accompanied by
thunder and lightning and torrents Of
rain. These conditions lasted for near
ly forty-eight hours. and many people
believed that the last day had arrived.
When the time fixed for the execution
arrived the assembled crowd cried
shame on the sheriff for hanging a
man when the world was coming to an
end. AS he persisted in his prepare
tons they burst through the barriers
and stopped the proceedings, shout
ing that the culprit might as well wait
a few minutes. when the grand sum-
mons would come to all. The sheriff
had to obtain the assistance Of force
Of soldiers before the execution could
be carried out.

VIII "Stick."
New York.-After consultation with
his Tammany supporters, William F.
Sheehan issued statement in which
he accused Governor Dix of yielding
to those who have been obstructing
the election of the regularly chosen
candidate of the party for United
States Senator" and says he will not
withdraw as the Democratic caucus
nominee.
Charles F. Murphy, the Tammany
leader, said Mr.. Sheehan's statement
spoke for itself. He would not add
to 1t. The belief of Tammany lead
ers is that Sheehan will hold Is votes
when the full effect of Governor Dix
letter has made itself felt.
The governors attitude toward
Sheehan has been no secret to Tam
many for some time, and there was
NO expectation that it would produce
any immediate result.
