Uncle Hill's finest gift to his newly- I married and appreciative niece, will be a pietentlous new residence, a lcmlnlscenceof colonial architecture, to cost about f8,0O0, completed. It was designed, and the plans were drawn up by our favorably known architects, ar-chitects, Monson & Schaub, (13 N.

Uncle Bill next called on Lohl Olson, Logan's bcstlnfotmed and amply facilitated fa-cilitated contractorand builder, asserting assert-ing that nobody ever questioned Lehi Olson's Integrity or competency In executing a contract on time, and to the letter too;.as he can point with a degree of much satisfaction to many of our best buildings that have assumed as-sumed shape under his practical supervision. super-vision. Mr. Olson was then and theie awarded the contract to build the home. "It matters not how pietentlous a residence may be In point of architecture, architect-ure, It ceases to beattiactlveor even tolciable until It has received the brush of the painter and deeoiatoi" chipped in the bride.

That's the make mama has, and foi baking or making pastries, it is lovely. Then too, we want a stove, some table cutlery and a manifold list of cooking utensils." Hettle continued. "For these we'll go to Sidney Stevens & Co, (1.1 W Center, wheie 1 got the builder's hardwaie the other nay," remarked the liberal old man. "Theieiou can fit out your culinciy dcpaitmcnt on whatever scale ion wish.

Accordingly everything every-thing needed for the kitchen was purchased pur-chased from the Sidney Stevens' Co. "I can't conceive of any one thing that bespeaks so much for the intellectual intel-lectual stamina of refined qualities of the mistress of the home than to find there the practice of music," continued contin-ued Uncle Hill, "and we are told that music is the chief pleasme of the angels. A salient requisite to this end is a reliable instrument. This is unquestionably un-questionably true," Interjected the thoughtful listener. "In my pallors 1 picfer a SchalT Bios. Piano.

It never hold out false lights to make a sale either." "Well, the next question on the docket," ventured Uncle Bill to Hettle, Het-tle, "Is to arrange about the supplies for the larder.

Uncle Bill laughed to seo the bojs handle the cleaver and saw with such dcxteiltj", but Ills countenance grew serious when he stated in unmistakable unmistak-able tcims that he wanted the choicest choic-est dellveied to his home. "Among those absolutely Indlspen-slble Indlspen-slble to the vvelfaic or eveiy community commun-ity Is the diugglst," declaicd Uncle Bill, with some emphasis. Turning to the .voting people, he said.

"There Is one moie thing yet, before be-fore I'll consider my homo completely furnished," suggested Hettle. "And what's that," demanded Uncle Bill, who thought he'd aheady au.inged foreveiythlng. "A sew Ing machine." "Yes, ves; that's a Tact-but I'll fix about that pictty soon. My friend F.

At this Juncture Hany was licuiil to say something about saw -edges. "Oh I ies, Uncle, I want you toiecommend a icliable laundry, Harry Is positively cranky about his linen."

As this sti Iking couple happened In fiont of the "Club," 117 N. Main. Uncle Hill came to a sudden halt. "Come light In and shake hands with II.. I. Do Witt, the genial owner."
