Houses Of the square" type range
from % by % feet to 80 by 36 feet in
size. and they contain from six to
eight rooms-seldom less than six and
seldom more than eight They are
built either full two stories. with an
attic; or like this one. with some of
the windows elevated above the caves
to admit light to the upper rooms.
This particular house is one Of six

6 inches from front to rear. 1t is a
very economical house to build. It is
all plain, straight work. except the
dormer windows; and these are as
plain as they can be and still look

Such houses are so easily built that
a great many Of them are put up in
country places without architectural

a mistake. Good working drawings

Consolation.

Did you read that latest thing from

selves there comes, at some time of

The study fthe scientific side of
this proposition is fascinating, the
argument full of logic. The end ar
rived at is a blank wall, with no hope,
no consolation. We're simply soulless
brutes of high degree and life is but
contemplate joke on the sperma-
tozo. We go dow min Titanies and
that't the last of us sofa ras our
widows. orphans and loved friends arc
concerned. Disbelief, hopelessness,
despair!
But when a man has reached Bryans
age, he sees that all the happiness
possible in this life does not suffice
with Death and Eternity knocking at
the door; tina tall the force of reas-
on, all the deductions of logic fail
short of what thinking men must
have.
Face to face with Forever, mar
turns from the deep hole which logic
has dug downward and turns his face
upwards to catch the blessed salts
tying rays of faith from on high. The |
picture of his child's cold corpse
knockin gabout wit hthe cadavers in
te Titanic coffin, down there in the
sea, gives place to a picture Of child,
happy, safe, at peace on the breast If
