A Moral Strength Also.

The home builder is not only the foundation o.. ma
teral wealth in each community but he is the moral
bulwark of the community 1t is the homecoming clt-
zen who builds schools and churches who ustans street
railways who patronzes shops and stores who paves
streets and improves highways who beauties lawns
and plants trees who upholds law and order and sus-
tains courts and governments.
The home builder is the individual unit on which
cities are built and in the mass he is the structure upon
which Industry and general well being are founded He
is the stable element in his community that invites cap
tai to finance the industries from which he derives en-
ployment and he is the leavenng influence that med
ates between capital and labor in industrial disputes
Too many of us fail to consider these things gravely
enough in outlining lives. We, too often fail to
think what this country would be today had our fore
fathers been nomads and wandered did the Indian,
from spot to another fixing abode, never
building home, never constructing highway.
Hence having arrived at this viewpoint, does 1t not
seem incumbent on the present generation to do It's
share towards insuring the permanency of each COM
munity?

Gold Camps Typical.

In the days of the gold rush westward, mining
towns sprang into being at the behes of transient min
ing camp population. Some of them attained consider
able size stores shops and hotels Then the gold played
out the miners left for new fields and the camps dwnd
led and disappeared The fate of those places rested
insecurey because there homes back of them.
The people who populated them had not come with in
tent to remain Their sole purpose temporary resi-
dence there They uninterested in the building
of town. There was no community spirit When the
quest for gold ended, they moved on leaving behind
them deserted shacks on the mountain sde deserted
streets empty stores vacant hotels and roomng houses

Homes Are Foundation.

What is true of the beginning of most communities
true for all time Day by day, year by year. decade
after decade the cities and towns grow only in proper
ton to the homes Back of business district there
is given number of homes. Each store in the business
district represents after fashion, so many homes IN the
residential district 1t is not possible to figure them out
mathemacay but there is or less flexible figure
and varies but little in the various cities and towns OF
the land,
Floating population never builds real city, There
have been instances the history of this country where
towns have completely disappeared Transient popula-
ton put them the map transient population wiped
them off the map.

When You Look at a Great Skyscraper on

In these busy, bustng days we have little time for
retrospection. Many of do not take time to think
Contemplation is about the last thing have time for
Yet there comes time in every life when are>moved

we will make only brief survey of our country's
history will be impressed deeply with the part that
the American home has played in the upbuding of the
nation.
We can not help note that the very beginning OF
every city and town in the land, especially those that
have attained great size has been due primarily to the
home
In other words do not find stores and industries
sprngng up night prares or beside great rivers
First there is humble little home, log cabin, sod
house or some other crude dwelling. More homes are
added as the people flock in and very little COM
munity has sprung into being Then there is store
church, school and But is noticeable that the
start of these communities always is the home. Man
first creates dwelling place and then surrounds it with
other conveniences.

Era of BODYBUILDING.

Today there is not community in America that IS
thriving and growing that not building homes Dwell
ngs are being constructed faster than business build
ings and in greater proporonate numbers Permanent
improvements can follow only after permanent homes
The city that is full of unoccupied dwellings, the city
that has nothing but transient population can not al
ford to permanently improve its business district because
there is stability in such investment and capital
can not be obtained
It therefore follows that the very essence OF city
building is home building. As rapidly homes are built
and paid for permanent foundation is laid for the
building of business buildings offices stores and indus
trial plants These in demand just in proportion TO
the demand for homes and capital be obtained only

That is why home ownership is the biggest asset
any city can have The real home the real cti-
zen, the real builder The family that owns its own
home is an anchor in time of stress. 1t is permanent

and the permanence of investment.
No home building home loving people ever gave
way to radical action advocated radical legislation
No permanent population bequeathed to postery

There was plenty of room under the glass where Mir. Gooly had put Raggedy Ann, and Raggedy Ann could hear and see everything MT. Gooly did but what made Raggedy Ann feel sad was to think how MT. Gooly had fooled her with his snor- ing machine,
 Raggedy Ann could sit and watch the wheels in the snoring machine go round and could hear it "ZAAA- EEing" just like someone snoring, and she knew that in few minutes Raggedy Andy would leave Walter and come 10 Mir Gooly's house.
 And" Raggedy Ann said to her self. "Raggedy Andy will be fooled just as l was, and MT. Gooly will capture him. Then Air. Gooly will easily capture Walter and take him to Mr. Sanky's house to work. And, the poor wood duck boat is still locked in Mir Gooly's wood shed and cannot escape."
 But, it is never any use sitting end crying when we do not have everything going just as we wish, so Raggedy Ann began humming a tune so that she would not feel sad
 My goodness" MT Gooly said, after he had waited fifteen minutes and Raggedy Andy had not come, If Raggedy Andy doesn't hurry and come I shall have to take nap, l feel sleepy"
 So. after awhile, when Raggedy Andy did not come, Mir. Gooly yawned a few times and then went to sleep.
 "Ha!' Raggedy Ann thought, now is my time to escape" So she stood up and lifted the glass case to one side, then climbed softly to the floor.
 Here, Where are you going?" MT. Gooly cried just as Raggedy Ann reached 10 stop the snoring ma chine.
 "I wanted to stop the snoring ma chine So if woud not awaken you," Raggedy Ann replied.
 Well sir! Just you get back in under that glass case, Miss Rag gedy Ann" Mir. Gooly shouted as he jumped from his chair and reached for Raggedy Ann, But Raggedy Ann was too quick for Mir Gooly, she jumped 10 one side and pushed the snoring machine towards Mir. Gooly, just in time for the machinery wheels to catch his long nose.
 Wow" Mr. Gooly howled as he danced about. stop this old ma chine,"
 But RaGgedy Ann did not intend staying to stop the machine even if she had known how, so she ran for the kitchen door and as she went out, she banged it shut behind her just in time to bump Mir. Gooy back into the house.

 hippo for their, group. When they neared the proposed hunting ground. Colonel Roosevelt decided to embark In the frail row-boat, accompanied only by two native porters to row him, and try for hippo 'unaided. The launch was to stand by, ready to come to his aid and later to carry him back to camp.
 He had rewed across the lake for a couple of miles, when he suddenly found himself amongst school of fifteen or more hippopotami, They immediately surrounded his boat and charged 1t repeatedly, pumping the bottom with their broad backs as they dived beneath it. The two ! natives were terrified and dropped their oars. There was ample cause for their terror, for 1t is no light thing to be attacked by even one single hippo when only in a frail row-boat-let alone some fifteen or twenty.
 Colonel Roosevelt, however, was in his elepent and was undismayed. Ne calmly selected the biggest bull from amongst the school, and killed it with a beautiful shot through the head. Re next picked out another exceptionally fine specimen, which later turned out to be big COW, and also killed it with his first shot. As he only wanted these two speci- ment for the completion of the groups for the museum, he there after contented himself with mere ly protecting himself against the re- mainder of the hippo.
 When, finally, they had disap- peared, he sat down in the boat and waited patiently for his two victims to rise to the surface. It takes from two to three hours for a dead hippo to rise after being killed in deep water such as these had been
 The occupants of the launch had heard the firing, and now steamed up to Colonel Roosevelt's assistance. There was nothing to do but pos pess their souls in patience and wait for the. two hippo to float to the surface. Cunninghame and the Attenboroughs heaped congratula- tions on Roosevelt, for he had in- deed achieved 8 remarkable per- formance
 Eventually, to the complete sur prise of Colonel Roosevelt, who be- lieved that he had only killed two hippo, five dead bodies of the mon- sters came to the surface. It took some considerable time to get ropes round them and prepare them so that the launch could tow its burden of about fifteen tons dead weight back to the camp.
 Owing to the great weight of the animals, they were by no means an easy subject for towing, and the progress of the launch across the lake was, of necessity, labored and slow. To add to their discomfort, night presently cast its inky pail

 Did She Get Away"
 The girl was restless and distrait all through the evening, and went to bed early, pleading drowsiness. But Katherine sat in the hall os- tensibly .reading, with her back to Mollie's door, while from a crack in darkened door opposite to the girls I watched steadily.
 Upon three separate occasions I saw Mollie's door stealthlly open and her face peer out only to be withdrawn again at the sight of Katherine's seated figure. Then there was a long silence, broken at last by the creaking of window being raised. I hastily stole down the hall to Katherine, but she al- ready had moved swiftly toward me.

 I padded stealthily after her, lodging from tree to tree, that she might not see me, and when I reached the gate she was running down the road.
 Katherine slipped her hand into mine as I reached the gate. She was breathing hard as she whis- pered frantically:
 Did she get away"
 I shook my head in negatton and pointed doVn the road, down which Mollie Fawcett's slender figure was running. She took away her hand promptly and stepped behind me.

over the lake and it began to rain heavily. It was bitterly cold, and they had no coats or blankets with them. Neither had they had any food since breakfast shortly after dawn, and they had brought none with them in the launch as they had not expected to be so long away from the camp.
 They reached the camp on the shores of Saigai-Sai farm at 30 o'clock in the morning-alI very cold, wet and hungry-but delighted with their luck. The success of that days sport on the lake was ample compensation and no one was really sorry to have had such an ex- pcrience-least of all Theodore Roosevelt.
 On another occasion, they had shot two otters in the lake. At first they rad thought them to be some huge water-snake. It was not until they approached quite close that they discovered that they were otters.
 Kermit had had good luck with the hippo, too; and he had also killed a sing-sing near the camp. This was new specimen of water buck, in so far as the Roosevelt ex- petition was concerned, and proved a very welcome addition te their large collection of tronhies for the Natural History Museum in Wash ington.
 The day after I had reached Nail vasha, l received a letter from Theo- dore Roosevelt, which had been sent in to me by Nasal warrior. This letter was in answer to one, that l had written him fin regard to a cable from America addressed to me in which it was stated that con- siderable agitation was proceeding in the American press over the large quantities of wild game that the RooseveltN expedition had beeH re- ported to haze shot.
