HOME, SWEET HOME.
Ko sweeter words than theso were eyer song.
They strike a enmmen cord In every human
heart, In every land. The millionaire In bis
.Elided palace, dreamt of his boyhood's home
nestled among the hills, and as In fancy he In
halet the perfume of the honeysuckle that
climbed his window beneath tho thatched root,
he would almost giro his whole horde ts be a boy
again. Tho fanlllar light In the old tcottnge
window It the weary sailor's guiding star on
every sea. Without a home, man Is an abject,
aimless wanderer In tho desert of life. How de
sirable then to surround this one sacred Jiot In
the world's dreary waste, with every appliance
to make It attractive and lighten the burdens of
our loved ones. Allow us to send you, as a mis
sionary, '(The New High Arm Davis Sewing
Machine." It will lift tho burden of thankless
toll from the wife and mother making what has
hitherto been her most disagreeable labor, a
pleasure. It will glvo your children tasteful and
neatly trimmed garments, for plain, unsightly
ones. It Is handsome In appearance and perfect
tn workmanship, faultless In action, and will
last a lifetime. Buy a "Davis" and add the
rowntng attraction to your pleasant home.
