This is a ten room house. Some
times when there are number of chill
dren in a growing family house Of
ten rooms becomes necessity.
Ideas in regard to the size Of houses
have changed very much in the last
ten years People are not now build
ing larger than they need, not so much
because the expense Of building has
somewhat increased, but the principal
reason Is that help cannot be secured
to do the necessary homework. A
great many women have killed them
selves trying to keep large house
looking nice enough to satisfy their
women friends, but women are learn
ing wisdom and are becoming content
with smaller houses, houses that pro-
vide Just room enough for their fam
lies and one or two occasional guests.
Sometimes families need house with
four or FIVE bedrooms, then plan
like this seems to fit In just right.
Looking at the perspective it will
be noticed that this house tones up
with the best of them. 1t is the kind
of building that satisfies a persons
pride and every one should have
pride enough to appreciate good
home and feel satisfied with It,
The mere fact of having a large
house won't satisfy anybody. There
must be more to home than the
building, but family of from six to
ten persons should be able to estab.
lish a very satisfactory home in a
house like this.
The building is thirty feet in width
by thirty-seven feet six inches in
length and the porch is extra, a size
sufficient to lay out nicely into large
pleasant rooms, with convenient hall
ways, stairways, etc. 1t is impossible
to get nine or ten good and sufficient
rooms in a house much-smaller. II
you try it you will surely spoil some
thing.
For great many years architects
have been trying to arrange salts

the travelling man found hair in the

fifteen miles and promised to take

WILSON DESCRIBES BRYAN

and, quoting from speech of the lat

and excellent intentions. Take Mr.

'Iovable" personally, but foolish
and dangerous in his theoretical be-
liefs," is one of the most accurate de-
scriptions of William Jennings Bryar
ever penned. Candor compes tho

curate description of Candidate Wilso"

have heard him, yet disapprove of his

to testify AS George Fred Williams is
devoted to Bryan, We wonder that he
has not also a certain amount of at

in the way pointed out, the same sort
of man.

There are songs enough for the hero,
Who dwells on the heights of fame !:
sing for the disappointed
For those who missed their aim.

For one who stands in the dark,
And knows that his last best arrow
Has bounded from the mark.
sing for the breathless runner,
The eager, anxious soul,
Who falls with his strength eXhausto
Almost in sight of the goal.
For the hearts that break in silence
With a sorrow all unknown;
For those who need companions
Yet walk their way alone
THcre are songs enough for the lovers
Who share loves tender pain
sing for the one whose passion
Is given all in vain.
For those whose spirit-comrades
Fave missed them on their way

This minor strain today.

Must somewhere keep in space

Who barely lost his race.

BELOW THE CUR OR THE BUZZARD

The man who writes an anonymou:
letter. either TO single individual, OF
scattered broadcast. as recently tbs
ease in Albany, is too low TO be called
cur That would be a reflection on
the dog which, despite its humble origiE
nd lowly traits, may yet be possessed
If some fine qualities. The an
onynlous letter writer is beneath the
| log. He is something of a combina-
ion of the hSeua and the buzzard in
instinct, and possessed of about as
much personal courage as the rabbit
S generally credited with.
Every now and then some good
nan or some good woman is
injured by anonymous letters. No
natter how untruthful these letters
nay be they carry poison with them
| hat finds lodgment in the minds nj
hose receiving them. Even when dis
proved the sting remains, ranking n
he breast of the wounded person.
ONE one has said that the meanest
Weapon ever conceived in hell was
he anonymous letter. 1t is hard ID
believe the devil would stoop to such
thing
The Albany Herald says the an
nymous letter writer is an assassin
That is true, and an assassin coming
from behind, in the dark, with face
concealed, dealing the thrust from the
rear and fleeing as quickly as the
blow is given. AS the Herald says:
"The anonymous letter is an at
tempt to deliver blow which the
writer lacks the courage to strike IN
he clear light of day He doesn't sign
lis name. He DISCUSSES his missive,
and leaves no identifying mark that
care and ingenuity can avoid His
tracks are carefully covered.
Perhaps the anonymous letter
oes no serious damage Maybe l.
reaches one whose nature is not sen.
sitive-who is so constituted as to b.,
proof against the attack of an enem
who has not the courage to show his
face
But often the case is different. 4
man who has walked uprightly before
the world, who has had nothing t.
hide from his fellow men, whose lif,
has been clean and whose conduct
always honorable-such a man mac
be mortally wounded by even the most
baseless and unjustifable attack. A
shaft from he knows not where has
struck deep into his soul. He broods
over the wrong done him. and SUI
fers an anguish which not even those
with whom he is most intimate car
understand. 1t may be he conquers
the melancholy which Overwhelms
him. He fights it with all his powers,
and he wins-or he loses!
THE man who writes an an
onymous letter, or sets in motion an
anonymous Islander, is like the man
who set fire to the tails of foxes and
turned them lose in the ripe harvest
fields. He cannot forsee the extent o.
the devastation which will result from
his act but once the mischief begins, +,
is beyond recall.
When the writer of an anonymous
Letter stands in the dark and views the
wreck and ruin which oftentimes fol-
lows his work, one wonders what man
ner of hideous specters rise up to scar
his conscience as with a red-hot iron.

Heavy Loss by Fire

Houston, Texas. in the wake
of the most destructive fire in
the history Of Houston, smould-
ering wreckage tonight covers
an area of about seven blocks
wide and a mile long in the cas-
tern portion of the city.
More than a dozen of the most
important enterprises in the city
are in ruins; 200 or more dwell
ings and stores are in ashes and
approximately 1000 persons are
homeless.
An accurate statement of the
monetary loss is not yet possible
but the most conservative esti-
mates are that the amount will
reach 100000. The insurance
will not exceed 40 per cent. Ex-
cept for a few who suffered mi
nor burns and bruises, no casu-
alties attended the fire.
