Then [ led Miss Goodwin through
the kitchen, in spite Of her protests
of proprfety, through the fragrance
Of new flooring, into the big south
room, where Hard had nearly COM
pleted his main work and was get
ting in the new door frames while
his assistants were patching up the
floor. She sat down on the new
settle, while l climbed on a box and
hung the pictures, one over each man.
tel. Instantly the room assumed to
my imagination something Of it's COM
ing charm. Those two spots Of color
against the dingy wood panels
dressed up the desolation wonder
fully. I hastily kicked some shavings
and chips into the fireplaces and ap-
piled a match
'The first fires on the twin
hearthsv' I cried I'm your honorw
The girl smiled into my face, and
did not joke '"That is very nice"
she said. Then she rose and put out
her hand. LET me wish Twin Fires
always plenty Of wood and the hap
piness which goes with it,
We shook hands, while the fire
cracked and already the spot seemed
to me like home. Then she looked
up at the prints. "Now," she cried,
chow is honorable Hiroshige going to
advise you? Here is a blue canal and
a lavender sky in the west, and
bright scarlet temple doors-and all
the rest snow. Lavender and bright
scarlet is rather a daring color
scheme, isn't it?"
''Not if it's the right scarlet" I
replied. "But it's not the color I'm
going to copy. Neither is it the moon
bridges in this other temple garden
It's the simplicity. Out here south
of this room is my lawn and garden.
Now I want it to be a real garden
but I don't want it to dwarf the land
scape. I don't want it to look as if
I'd bought a half acre of Italy and
deposited it in the middle of Massachu-
sets, either. I've never seen a pic
ture of a real Japanese garden yet
that didn't look as much like a natu-
raj japanese landscape as a garden.
I want my garden to be an extension
y of my south room which will some
how frame the real landscape be-
yond."
We went through the glass door,
and I showed her where the grape ar
Dor was to be, at the western side Of
the lawn, and how a lane of holly
hooks would lead to it from the per-
COLA end, screening the kitchen win
dows and the yet-to-be-built hotbeds.
"Now," said I, I'm going to build
a rambler rose trellis along the south {;
there's your red against the lavender
of the far hills at sunset! But how
shall the trellis be designed, and
where shall the sundial be, and where
the flower beds?"
The girl clapped her hands. "Oh
the fun Of planning it all out from
the beginning!' she cried. "My, but
I envy YOU
please don't envy; advise" said 1.
ooh, I can't. I don't know any
thing about gardens"

WHAT ONE BIG MAN
THINKS OF ANOTHER.

President w. H. P. Faunce of
Brown university is pretty live
wire who keeps abreast of the
times, has keen powers of obser-
walton and knows good man
when he sees him. Here is what
he has to say about the Repub-
Iican candidate for the presi-
dency:
~ have known Justice Hughes
intimately since we were stu
dents together at Brown and
have seen him a thousand times
at work and at play. No man of
our generation has a finer COM
bination of character and intel
lect. Absolutely fearless, unseIf-
ish, loyal to American ideals, he
is worthy of nations trust.
"AII his friends know that be-
hind the dignity Of bearing is
rich fund of humor and good fell
Iowship. Whether he is climbing
mountain, reading novels, play
ing with his children, resisting a
political lobby or delivering the
opinion of the supreme court, he
is ever the same rugged, demo-
cratic, fair minded American.
His varied experience has given
him wide horizon and sympa-
thy with every aspect of Ameri-
can life.
"He possesses two qualities
rarely found together-the judi
ciaI temper and the capacity for
swift and resolute action. I'm
der his administration the fog
which now besets many public
questions would be cleared away.
"His penetrating mind goes to
the heart of any subject he Sc
Iects and strips off the irrelevant
at once. Such mind is pecul-
iarIy needed amid the intricate
problems that now confront
America.
"We need more than good in
tentions. We need clear vision,
sound Judgment, strong will, un-
hesitating decision. Inyshort, we
need Charles e. Hughes"

REV. J. B. sLocuM, D. D,
 ON NOMINATIONS COMMITTEE
Represented Connecticut on important Committee at Northern Baptist Convention.


 At the Northern Baptist convention in session at Minneapolis, Minn., Rev. Joel B. Slocum, D. D., delegate from the Central Baptist church of this city of which he Is pastor, was appointed to represent Connecticut on the nom nations committee, one of the most important committees connected with the conference.
 Writing to a friend in Norwich, Rev. Dr. Slocum says:
 We had most delightful journey out here. marred only by a washout in Indiana, which compelled us to make a detour and delayed us about six hours. We are having a great convention, characterized by a most harmonious spirit The attendance is large, the weather is cool, the pro- vision for our comfort is ample and, Minneapolis is most attractive city.''
 The Connecticut delegation numbers about a dozen in all, three of whom, Mrs. Charles W. Gale, Miss Olive Dean and Rev. Dr. Slocum, are from the Central Baptist church, this city,
 The special New England train will return through Canada, touching at Niagara Falls, Toronto. Montreal, and reaching Boston, Sunday, May 18th.
 Rev. Peter C. Wright of Philadel- phia, formerly of this city, is one of the secretaries of the Northern Bap- COuY6AI1Ou.
 The report of the board of educa- ton is of interest to Norwich Bap- lists.
 The educational program of the convention is part of the five-year general program, consideration of which is one of the main features of the convention. One item looks to 900 Baptist students in theological seminaries."
 'ewe have discovered" the report states, in this regard, that there are 545 Baptist students from our North ern churches in all the theological seminaries of all denominations. This means about 1S0 going into the min istry from these schools each year. Is it possible that we can supply the demand of 10,e0o churches on this number of recruits? We have set 2 standard of 5000 missionaries in the ffve-year program. This means a per- manent addition of 1900. Perhaps g third of them will be women mission aries and missionaries wives. If therefore. all our graduates became missionaries. we could not reach the 5000 And this would make no pro- vision for any supply for our minis try at home"
