HUMOROUS 
On red-hot Summer days 
What comfort it would be 
To have at hand always 
An Educated Tree 
To follow us around the town, no matter 
where we strayed, 
And furnish us with shade, 
And if it were a lemon tree, with lemonade ! 
—Harper’s Weekly. 
He: “Miss Searand holds her age re¬ 
markably well, doesn’t she?” She: “In¬ 
deed she does. She has been twenty- 
nine for at least ten years.”—Illustrated 
Bits. 
Gushing Young Woman (to baronet 
at garden party) : “Oh, Sir James, I 
hear you have an acetylene plant, and 
I simply adore tropical flowers!”— 
Punch. 
Green : “Do you believe that being 
born under a certain planet has any ef¬ 
fect on a man’s life?” Brown: “Not as 
long as he is able to stay on earth.”— 
Illustrated Bits. 
The teacher was giving the juvenile 
class a lesson in punctuation. “What is 
that ?” she asked of a small pupil, point¬ 
ing to a period. “That,” answered the 
little one, “is the lid off an ‘i.’ ”—Chicago 
News. 
Little Maggie (after watching her 
small brother devouring several large 
sections of chocolate cake) : “Mamma, 
isn’t it funny how much larger Jimmy 
really is than he appears to be from the 
outside ?”—Tit-Bits. 
Infant Terrible (watching Uncle 
Jack’s fiancee dressing her hair) : “IIow 
queerly you do your hair!” “How so?” 
“Why, Aunt Jane pins hers to her lap, 
mummie holds hers in her teeth, but you 
leave yours sticking to your head.”— 
Life. 
A teacher, after patiently defining 
words in a spelling lesson, gave the word 
“gruesome” from among them, to be put 
into a sentence; with this result from 
the brightest little girl in the class: “I 
cannot wear my last Summer’s dresses, 
because I grew some.”—Life. 
Enpecic’s will was being drawn up by 
the lawyer. “I hereby bequeath all my 
property to my wife,” dictated Enpeck. 
“Got that down?” “Yes,” answered the 
attorney. “On condition,” continued En¬ 
peck, “that she marries within a year.” 
“But why that condition?” asked the 
man of law. “Because,” answered the 
meek and lowly testator, “I want some¬ 
body to be sorry that I died.”—Credit 
Lost. 
“This animal, ladies and gents,” said 
the showman, “is the chimpanzee. The 
remarkable thing about the chimpanzee, 
ladies and gents, is that it comes near¬ 
est to bein’ a human person of any 
speeshy of the monkey tribe. This here 
is the chimpanzee, ladies and gents,” he 
continued; “the one inside the cage. 
Please stand a little farther back, sir. 
You’ll get mixed.” And he glared at a 
masher who was poking the animal with 
his cane.—Tit-Bits.

Inexpensive heating 
Last Winter’s lesson was a long, 
and expensive one to those who 
relied on old-fashioned heating. 
Must it be learned all over again or 
will you now take advantage of 
this good buying time to put in 
A No. 3-22 IDEAL Boiler and 600 ft. of 38- 
in. AMERICAN Radiators, costing the 
owner $295, were used to Hot-Water heat 
this cottage, at which price the goods can 
be bought of any reputable, competent Fit¬ 
ter. This did not include cost of labor, 
pipe, valves, freight, etc., which installation 
isextra and varies according to climatic and 
other conditions.

be bought of any reputable, competent

A No. 020 IDEAL Boiler and 262 ft. of 38-in. 
AMERICAN Radiators, costing the owner

at which price the goods can be bought of 
any reputable, competent Fitter. This did 
not include cost of labor, pipe, valves,

conditions. 
They are no longer called luxuries, because 
proven an economy in all classes of build¬ 
ings, and from the largest to the very 
smallest. 
IDEAL Boilers and AMERICAN Radi¬ 
ators have raised the standard of home 
comfort. They provide uniform warmth 
in all rooms, far and near, and under per¬ 
fect control. They bring no ash-dust or 
coal-gases into the living-rooms, greatly 
reducing house-cleaning and saving much 
wear on carpets and furnishings. The fuel 
savings, health protection, and cleanliness 
soon repay their cost. 
The question most often put to us is: “What 
will it cost to heat my cottage, consisting of-- 
rooms?” Failure to answer this question prompt¬ 
ly and exactly brings criticism. The owner 
forgets that, for instance, all five-room cottages 
are not built exactly alike as to size of rooms, 
height of ceiling, amount of window or glass sur¬ 
face; nor are they all constructed of equal qual¬ 
ity of material, or weather tightness, or so 
located with respect to adjoining buildings as 
to be equally protected from the elements. This 
is likewise true of six-, seven-, eight-, and nine- 
room or larger cottages, and these factors decide 
the character and size of the heating outfit for 
each particular building, and the cost thereof. The 
only fair and correct way for your interest and ours is 
to permit a representative to call and examine Into your 
exact heating needs. Such definite information and 
prices will put you under no obligation whatsoever to 
buy.

We have made a 33^ to 50% cut in the price of Lumber. The 
Lumber Trust started the fight by attempting to ruin our great 
plrect-to-Consumer business on Millwork, amounting to a mil- 
lion dollars a year. Our answer was to secure the indictment of 
the ringleaders and to purchase outright a great wholesale lumber 
business. The Trust wanted a fight—now they’ve got a bigger 
one than they bargained for. We are meeting them on their own 
ground—with prices that are mighty close to cost.
