ly to meet with approval from the
most fastidious housekeepers. The
cellar-way leads down from this little
vestibule, and there is also set OF
shelves reaching from the floor to the
ceiling. This set of ,cellar-way shelves
is about as useful as any other fea-
ture of the house. For some reason
1t is almost impossible to keep jellies
in the cellar without having them
mold in the glasses. If kept in the
kitchen the jellies shrink until the
glasses are not more than half full;
but shelves in cellarway built like this
seem to hit the happy medium. and the

ter time as when put up in summer.
Dry air in the house and damp cellar
air meet here, and the results are
very satisfactory.
The value Of house Is made up Of
little things. It Is the many little
things added together that make the
round, satisfactory whole. The man
or woman who wants house to suit
them must study the details before
starting to build; otherwise the house
will be unsatisfactory when finished.
The fact is. few families can find
satisfactory ready made. It is difficult
for anyone to feel really, thoroughly at
home In a rented house. There are
fifty little things you would like to
have different, but you positively re-
fuse to put time and expense on a
house that belongs to someone else.
This is one reason why so often rec
ommend young people to start out in
home Of their own. It may not be
elaborate, but If 1t f1tsthe pocketbook II
is very likely to prove the nucleus of a
happy and prosperous life.
This little six-room dwelling has
been built for $780, 1t should not cost
very much more than that today.

One great advantage of house like
this is the ease with which the house
work is carried on. There are many
pleasant features about the plan, one
of which is the combination living

practically one room nearly 81 feet

The general prosperity can only be
a reflection of the prosperity Of the
individual. and no individual is really
prosperous who is not laying aside
something for the future. The man
who makes $4,000 per year and
spends $4,000 is poorer than the man
who makes $1,000 and spends but 5000.

Tom Ware was seated alone over
his breakfast. He had left his bed
as the pale morning light crept across
the great fields that were alike his
pride and his despair-what was the
use of trying to sleep when sleep was
an impossibility! He was about to
quit the table when big Steve en-
tered the room to say there was a
white fellow at the door.
Fetch him along in here" said
Ware.
The white fellow delivered pen
ciled note from Murrell. When he
was gone. the planter ordered his
