HIS FAMILY

Eighteen years married and never

1t was his birthday, and an old-time
friend was congratulating him over
the fact. He slapped him on the shout.

the happiest man in the world.
William sighed as his friend went
on his way. The boastful smile
faded from his honest, sympathetic
face. In fact, he looked rather dole.

But no children!" he spoke to him

his existence.
1t was glory in life to realize what
wonderful wife his gentle, patient
lovely Milly was. The home, was a
neat nest of comfort and cleanliness.
Milly was intelligent and interesting,
and the evenings never palled. Neither

hundred dollars more ahead, he would
make wholesale raid on some or

with boyish laughter and girlish glee.

weeks, William" said Milly, one day.

To Save Work and Fuel,

[ always cook enough vegetables to
last two days, preparing them in some
different way the second day. It
makes things easier when you have to
do your own cooking, and it is easier
for the servants if they do it.
In winter I cook potatoes for three
days. 1t takes no longer than boiling
a smaller quantity, and when you have
a potato cooked in it's jacket you have
the foundation of most Of tie potato
dishes. l do as mush of my cooking
as possible in the morning, and pre-
pare the Sunday meals on Saturday so
that I will have nothing to do on Sum
day but to reheat them. - Woman

And, for inspiration for the angel
chorus of his new opera, "Das Vinegar

But their warbling only aggravated

SOME HINTS FOR BUILDERS
Great Care Should Be Taken In Selec-
ton of the Most Substantial
Roofing Material.

II you were without preparation on
plan, rudely placed in a wilderness,
your first thought would be Of food
supply and your next Of shelter, for
these are the two most vital necesss-
ties of mankind. It is therefore
natural that the best thought, and
study are put upon these two essen
tials.
More forward steps have been
taken in the building industry in the
past fifteen years, as regards comfort,
service and architectural beauty THAI
in the fifty years previous.
Only In recent years has the hand
ling of cement in building work been
understood properly, and progress is
still constantly being made with it.
Modern hotels and office buildings
are being equipped with sheet metal
mouldings and steel veenered doors.
Nearly every important change in
building construction Is away from
the fire hazard Of wood.
One of the most significant develop
ments of recent years is the crushed
slate surfaced asphalt single which
is, on new construction and old, rapid
ly supplanting the wooden article
There are many reasons for this. The
slate surfaced shingles add beauty to
any building-in fact, there is really
no comparison from an architectural
standpoint. Crushed slate of pleasing
tints of red or green, is employed as a
surfacing. The shingles are uniform
ly eight inches wide and are exposed
four inches to the weather. No paint
ing is necessary as the red or green
crushed slate is natural and therefore
cannot fade.
The purchaser, however, should
guard himself against buying slate
surfaced single that is not guaran-
teed by reliable and responsible
manufacturer. There are so many
kinds of roofing and shingles on the
market today each claiming to be the
best that it becomes necessary for the
buyer to get some satisfactory assur-
ance that the roofing or shingles are
represented honestly.

Another "Dream Joke"

A correspondent who has read IN
the Companion the two amusing cases
Of puns deliberately made in the
course of a dream, contributes third
example:
Some time ago dreamed one night
that met friend, who immediately
turned away, crying bitterly. said
to her:
"What are you crying about? AS the
Scotch would say, this is strange
sort of greeting"

form on the trapeze. another on the
slack wire. The smaller ones did a
horseback ride, and all four were anna
teur musicians.
The circus had gone into bankruptcy
and their manager had deserted them.
FOR over week the little quartette,
stout hearted. but hungry, had been
begging their way back to some big
city.
How the heart Of William glowed.
An, here Providence had placed in
MS charge the shadow children of his
vision: Rodney, Leila, Mary, little
William! He burst in upon them with
expansive smile and outstretched
arms.
Pack up" he shouted. st adopt
you'll"
In the hurly-burly of explanation
William Dexter was not a rational be-
ing. 1t was only when he had got
them under his comfortable home roof,
and had fed them, and insisted on re-
naming them, and had told them that
they were adopted for all time to
come, that the four little waits read
earnestness in his great honest face
and responded to it with love.
Within a week each one of the
quartette had settled down to some
simple household duty. The eldest
boy was the man about house, the
eldest girl charming, willing little
lea -,
house with prayer of fervent graft
tude in the morning and came home
with shout of delight in the eve
ming.
Then Milly came home. She was
stunned at the opulent gift kind
! them in strained joy to her breast and
then chung about the neck Of her hus-
band, crying like happy baby.
1t was unalloyed for month. Then
a great shadow lowered over the de-
voted group. The bank in which Will
liam had all his savings failed. The
loss caused him to break down. For
weeks he lay in an invalid bed. And
then he was crushed, as one morning
his wife told him that the four chn-
dred had mysteriously vanished.
They saw the lean days coming!"
moaned William! ''It's human ma
ture, butt loved them SOL"
The burden of life was harder than
ever to bear now. William got back
to health, but, like the hard-earned saw
ings, his courage was gone. Nights
he and his wife would sit, sad and ST.
lent, gazing at the vacant chairs.
One night neighbor, poorly sup
pressing an excitement that was I'M
duly intense because it masked vast
secret, invited them over to supper.
Two hours later, returning home, the
guests were startled to notice their
house all alight. The shades were
down. They entered in q wondering
maze.
Father"
"Mother!"
"Homer-and four rapturous souls
surrounded them, and Rugged them,
and laughed and crowed, and cried.
and hurrahed.
eve left to help YOU" declared the
eldest boy. 1--WE got an engagement
in the city, and we've earned over
three hundred dollars, and it's yours.
and it's our last acting, for we're go
ing to get work here, sister and l.
and work for you, and live with you,
and love you"
Milly was on her knees praying, the
tears of joy and gratitude streaming
down her cheeks. Reverently the lit
tie ones knelt by her side. And,
striving to encircle them all in his
great loving clasp, William Dexter
knew that his imaginary family had
become real!
