"There!" pronounced Ellice Dunbar
in an intense tone of satisfaction, as
she carried a heaping yellow dish of
prime smoking doughnuts into the cool
open shed just beyond the kitchen,
and set it on clean board loaded with
other tempting viands to cool.
She made pretty picture, this tall,
graceful girl of eighteen with her neat
apron, dainty cap, flushed cheeks and
sparkling eyes.
"Cookie jar full and the cake box
loaded" she chirped gieefully, and
with pride. 81 hope Mrs. Barton will
be pleased. There's the full compile

the dismay OF gloom clouded the fair

Ellice had never forgotten him. The
memory was a sad one-and a sorrow
full look passed over the face of the
young girl whenever 1t required to her,
which was often.
Ellice was an orphan. She had been
adopted by distant relative of her
mother, Mrs. Barton, widow, and her

1t has been said that one way to
Judge the character of a man is to eX-
anime the house he lives in. AL
though liberal discount must be al
lowed in the application of such a
principle, there is undoubtedly some
truth in the statement, especially when
it is applied to a man who lives in a
house built from plans of his own Sc
lection. The least that may be said
in this respect is that the foresight of
the man is indicated by the manner
in which the house meets the needs
of his family. Comfort and conve-
nience are the qualities which are
most appreciated, but there are vast
number of considerations which af,
feet these qualities and which must
be accounted for in the selection of the
house design.
One of the most common errors
made by the man who is undertaking
the task of selecting a design for his
home is that of overestimating the
size of the house which he requires
In the first place, the larger the house
the harder it is to make it seem cozy
and homelike. The man of moderate
income who must ask his wife to keep

Although he had spoken long ant
strongly at Green Bay in the after
noon. Mr.. Hughes was in fine fettlC
here last night and held the crowd By
the power of his voice and personal

He replied to the Democratic claims
to have accomplished much for the

ever salvation the nation has had In
the past four years has been due
almost entirely to .'the far-sightedness

Shipping Bill Scored
THE shipping bill which the Con.

Another blow which the admins.
tration has aimed at the real business
interests of the country, and one OF
which the Democrats appear to be In
ordinately proud, is the Underwood
Tariff Law. That measure strikes at
the foundations of the prosperity c!
these states, prosperity which the
Republican party has built up through
many years of patient effort.

1T is certain to my mind that the
Underwood tariff must go If the ma
ton as whole is to be placed upon
sure basis of prosperity in the fll-
ture. AS long as 1t is effective Ameri-
can business Is in danger.
Leaving the question of the tariff,
Mr.. Hughes spoke of the antitrust
law as interpreted by the administra-
ton.
"The Interpretation given to this
law by the Wilson officials has done
much to. make its working still more
and. perplexing than be-
fore" said the speaker.
"The Democratic, party has taken
up the problem of child labor legis-

done have the Democrats failed more
completely. Their child labor laws
have utterly failed to protect the hun
