TX |ERE you never

display of window shades
along the street,
Take your own block,
for example. It's a brick
row and yet at one house
are green shades, at anoth-

and so on till the effect of
it all is simply horrible.
If all the houses would
adopt some one neutral
tint that would harmonic

ance would be improved
much. AS it is, however,
an entire neighborhood is
made to look common by
the window shades at one
or two houses.
May be it isn't the prov
ince of a window curtain
store to offer arbitrary sug-
gestions, especially a store
that keeps all kinds and is
as glad to sell one color as
another, but it is well
enough to remember that
the selection of even so
commonplace a thing as a
window shade is worthy of
some thought, some appre-
citation of the fitness of
things and some consider
alton for the neighbors.
For SO cents we are sell
ing a spring roller shade
II inches long by sc inches
wide with nickel ring pull,
complete with fixtures,

for the fitting out of the

From a Fellow Bonrder.

Hickman RiGnoy Jailed For Theft
From n Fellow Boarder.
James H. Rigney was before the
police court this morning charged with
the theft of money from Henry Dono-
van. AS reported in the DEMOCRAT
Rigney was fined yesterday for breach
of the peace committed at Mrs Kate
Doolan's boarding house. After court
he wrote a note reading as follows,
directed to Mrs Kate Doolan "Send me
$12 by bearer. II you have not got it
there is $40 in Donovan's pocket. Send
it over Immediately" After the mes
sage had been sent Rigney's fine was
paid by friend. In the meantime the
officer who had been dispatched with
the note, visited Mrs Doolan and asked
her for the money. She said she did
not have IL. On the note being handed
to her she made a search and
the money was found as described
in the note. The officer then went to
the station without disturbing the
money. Later Rigney met Mrs Doolan
and proposed to accompany her to the
house. Mrs Doolan refused to be seen
with him and went into j. ID. Bolans
hardware store TO call for a policeman.
While she was there Rigney entered the
house through q window, took the
money, made his exit through the back
door and over the fence in the rear. He
was arrested by Officer Kennaugh and
the money found in his possession. This
morning he said he was drunk and did
not remember stealing the money. He
was fined 81 and costs with 30 days IN
iail
