And right there is where fate did him a bad turn. ; If Benedict Arnold's wound at Saratoga had been fatal if he had died on the field of battle he would be enshrined today s one of our greatest hemes. The name, Benedict Arnold, instead of being a symbol of treachery, would stand for all that was bravo and honorable. His descendants would glory in the name of Arnold: there would lie statues to him, and the history books would link his name with the names Of other Kovoltitioimi y celebrities. J It has often been said that Lincoln died at the right time, as far as his own reputation was concerned. He was at (lie very summit of his fame. The Civil War had licen won, and tho old antagonisms had been forgotten. Had he lived a few i'ears longer he would have lx-en plunged into the hatreds and bitternesses of the reconstruction period ; doubtless he would liavo acquired many 1 uemities and suffeivd greatly in popu larity.; His death was the nation's loss, but, in a sense, his wn gain. What a pity that fate could not have Ix-en equally kind to Arnold. Try- W. K. GILBERT CO.

Look under the cabinet, look carefully inside it, and, above all things, listen to it. When you look under -the cabinet do you find moving parts of machinery or no machinery at all? In the General Electric Refrigerator, you'll notice at once that all the models are upon-lcgs. "This means an easy job cleaning under them. And it also means that all the machinery is safely sealed away in the air-tight steel casing which you see on top of the cabinet. Look inside. Is there really ample fpod space? Vou will find in the General Electric Refrigera tor due the chilling chamber is amazingly com- ; Pact- actually takes little more space than d-e ' trays in which your ke is frozen. Then listen. This you must do. We want vou to ' judge for yourself the quietness with which ti c ' General Electric Refrigerator operates. " All these things are vitally important.
