Considerable difficulty had been an
ticipated in securing the two hun.

days intervening before the date set

idenoe in "Hell's Half Acre"
in Philadelphia.

Katharine Haviland Taylor. the nov
elist, says she's found desert island
and peace right in the middle of Phila-
delphia. 1t happened quite accident
ally. Recently she went apartment
hunting with very little knowledge OF
the residential districts of Philadel-
phia. She found an apartment and
rented it because there were two limou-
sines out in front, and so she judged
that the street was all right. One of
those limousines belongs to broker
of rags and paper, she learned later,
and the other to an Italian peanut
vender. She had moved into the his
toric district called "Hell's Half Acre.
But I'm glad was misled," says Miss
Taylor. II am not bothered by social
obligations and have lots of time for
work We're never bored. Shooting
privileges go with every lease, and my
vocabulary is enlarging all the time. y
Miss Taylor cannot be persuaded TO

Of Frame Construction.
ATTRACTIVE IN EVERY WAY
Plans Drawn for Those Who Cannot
Afford to Put Large Sums Into
Building in Which They
Are to Live.
ATTRACTIVE IN EVERY WAY
BY WILLIAM A. RADFoRD.

Mr.. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building. for the readers of this
paper. On account OF his wide experience
as Editor Author and Manufacturer, he
liz, without doubt, the highest authority
on all these subjects. Address all Inquiries
to william A. Radford, No. 1927 Prairie
avenue, Chicago. ILL.,. and only inclose
two-cent stamp for reply.
Every man who is the head of a
family has somewhere in the back of
his mind desire to own home of
his own for himself and his family.
That this desire has not been graft
fed may be due to any number of
things, but the one that prevents most
people from owning the house In
which they live is that they never
really started to acquire u home.
For the average person, buying a
home is a considerable undertaking,
one that means the taking ON OF an
obligation that will require number
of years to pay. The investment looks
large and wills probably require some
sacrifices, but once start is made
the satisfaction more than repays the
effort.
No man. however, should undertake
to buy a home that costs more than
it is reasonably certain he will be
able to pay for. This error is the
reason THAT has caused many to lose
their homes after a start toward own
ing them has been made. Good judg-
ment in picking the site and in erect
ing a home that meets the needs of
the family and at the same time will
not require larger investment than
can be handled, are two essentials in
successfully acquiring home.

Learn to Tell Children Stories.

Stories interest children to such an
extent that they absorb the entire
attention for the time being. Mothers
should learn to tell their children
stories of kindness, unselfishness, truth
and dishonesty, so as to help them
distinguish the good and evil of their
actions. Storytelling will also go a
great way in developing the imagina-
ton, which is an essential in woman
hood and manhood. A good magma
ton helps one to remember and think
distinctively. The public library will
help many mother in procuring
books dealing with children's stories,
games and dances that will delight
any child.@Thrift Magazine.

Mendeiism, branch Of the study
Of heredity, is concerned with the
facts and theories centred upon the
discoveries made by Gregor Mendel
from his experiments in plant hybridi-
cation, and announced in 1865. Its
Importance is due to its bearing on
stock breeding, and of its possible
bearing on the development of the
human race. The essence of Mendel-
ism-of the Mendelian hypothesis
is that certain characteristics in a
plant or an animal remain by them

The design of this home is what
makes it so pleasing to the eye. The

with the long slope makes it a story

dormers in the roof at both front and

yided ON the second floor. These

ord Of further explorations until over
200 years had elapsed. In 1776 two
Franciscan friars, in their attempt to
find the shortest way to the Pacific,
went from Santa Fe to Utah Lake. The
Great Salt Lake, however, was not dis
covered until 1924 when James
Bridges, trapper, in wandering
through this region came upon this
huge, inland, salt sea.
But the real history of Utah begins
with the rise of Mormon power there.
Discouraged by the agitation IL Illinois
and Missouri, the Mormons decided to
emigrate to the great West. In large
caravans they travelled across the
plains and in 1S47 came to Salt Lake
City where they settled. Here they
flourished, increasing their numbers
and by 1852 they reached total in
this vicinity of over $4,000. Meanwhile,
in 1915, by the terms Of the treaty Of
peace with Mexico, huge western
tract, OF which Utah was a part, was
ceded to the United States. as no
definite government was arranged for,
the control of affairs locally was for
a number of years entirely in the
hands of the officers of the Mormon
church. They, accordingly, made up
a constitution and organized under
the name of the State of Deseret. This

Mormon, and signifies, Industry" APP
plication was made for admission to
the Union, but this was refused and
the federal government instead organ
lied the Territory of Utah in 1850. The
first governor was Brigham Young, the
successor of Joseph Smith and presi-
dent of the Mormon church.
The attempt to do away with polyg-
amy met with little success until in
1890 the Mormon church finally agreed
not to countenance it. Meanwhile,
growing antagonism between the Nor
mons and non-Mormons verged nearly
on civil war. Finally a general am
nesty was declared and after many re-
quests Utah was accepted as the for
ty-fifth state of the Union in 1896.

THE STORY OF

WYOMING

~ - ated the Territory of
Wyoming from parts of Dakota, Utah
and Idaho, a constitution was adopted
which gave women the right TO vote
This was considered very revolutions
airy at the time. but in Wyoming the
women have continued to have suf
frage from that time and We're thus
the pioneers in this movement, which
has now eliminated in the acceptance
of the nineteenth amendment to our
Constitution.
There We're rumors of early Spanish
explorations in Wyoming but they
seem unfounded by fact. Probably the
first white men to visit this part of
the country were Sieur de la Veren-
deze, and his sons who passed through
this region in 1743 In search of l0ca-
tons for trading posts. In 1904 the
Yellowstone was first visited by hunt
beauty was not given much credence
until 1870 and it was set aside as
federal reserve in 1872.
The first permanent fort in Wyo-
ming was erected in 1884 where the
Laramie river flows into the Platte.
Later when the stream of immigrants
passed through this region on their
way to the California gold fields a
string of forts was erected along the
Oregon Trail to protect the travellers
from attacks by the hostile Sioux In
dams.
Through Wyoming went not only the
Oregon Trail, which was opened up
by Lieutenant Fremont and his guide,
Kit Carson in 1912, but also the
Salt Lake trail Along these
routes many travellers crossed Wyo-
ming, but few stopped and settled
there as the country was the most
arid of all our states The discovery
Of gold in 1867 led to the founding OF
South Pass City and in the same year
Cheyenne was laid out by the Union
Pacific Railroad company.
Wyoming became the forty-fourth
state of the Union in 1890 and Is
eighth in size with an area of 1914
square miles. Its population gives 1t
an allotment Of three presidential
voters. As to its name, this comes
from that of Wyoming valley in Penn

HER LIFE AN INSPIRATION
Difficulties Overcome by Helen Keller
Should Shame Any One From
piscouraQement

Mark Twain once said, "The two
most interesting characters of the
Nineteenth century are Napoleon and
Helen Keller" Helen Keller, the De-
troit News recalls, was normal child
until 10 months old. At that time a
serious illness left her blind, deaf
and dumb. Even during these early
years in the dark she learned many
things through the sense Of touch. Her
chief playmates were little colored
girl and an old setter dog.
She was nearly seven years old
when a teacher was found to under
take what seemed an impossible task.
This teacher, Miss Anne Sullivan, be-
gan at once to talk into her little
pupils hand with her fingers. The
first word Miss Sullivan spelled into
her hand was "dOll"; the next word
was cake" The words were quickly
spelled back, even before the little girl
knew what they meant. Very soon.
however, the spelled words with the
hand language were connected with
real doll and real cake. Within a
month she knew thirty words and
could talk them hack with her fingers.
As soon as she grasped' the thought
that sll objects have names she
