HOME DECORATION.
1t Is tho Duty of Rational Human Beings
To he Helpful.

Thrcc-quartcrs Of the advice about homo
decoration is impractical and leads tho un
wary housewife nstray, but there nrc some
improvements that it is possible to under
take and carry through successfully. For
instance, patience, care and several cans
of enamel paint will convert shabby set
OF deal bedroom furniture into something
worth having. Tho enamel may be put
on over the original paint, the furniture
being first thoroughly washed with soap

pcnsivc than that obtained at a regular
paintShop and is of u less scrviccablc
quality. Tho quick drying sort will allow
all three coats to lo applied on the same
day if necessary. If new handles are
bought for tho bureau drawers, the reju
vcnation will be still more thorough and
satisfactory.
Enamel is not suitable for the woodwork
of ~ room, but if it is desirable to have the
woodwork and furniture alike In color
quick drying paint is also sold in largo
cans ready for use. This simplifics tho
amateur decorators work very much and
is great convenience to households who
arc not within easy reach of aprofcssional
painter, especially as workmcn, even when
bindingly engaged, have universal habit
of postponing their visits from day to day,
and so Keeping their employers in suspense
and confusion.
Every woman should havc u collection OF
light tools suited to her size and strength
and know how to use them, for moments
often arise when five minutes Intelligent
employment of n saw or IL plano would
clear away some obstacle from tho homo
decorators path that without that help
must keep hoc at u standstiil until she can
secure mans assistance. 1t is the duty
@f every rational human being to bc self
helpful. and not To find ii necessary to rely
upon somebody else Whenever an cmcr-
gcncy arises. In the industrial schools of
the future it Is To be hoped that boys a.,
we'll as girls will br taught to sew and
girls nl we'll ~ boys ho taught to handle
tools and understand machinery.

IT IS evident that no member OF a
party is bound by the declarations of
the platforms presented by conventions
unless he approves them. Any citizen
has an unquestionable right to leave
his party at any time and join another,
and he has an equal right to approve
some part or parts OF q platform and
reject the rest OF it.

games, which for eight years had
not been done.
When the grand aries indicted a
person for exhibiting games, which
is punishable by imprisonm ant, L
tried and convicted them for that
offense, and did not take plea OF
guilty for simply gaming, which Is
only punishable by hne. l could
say much more in this connection,
but refrain for the present. Mr..
Taylor has been my opponent a
number of times for county attor'
ney, and has always defeated me,
and everytime l have given him my
loyal support, not only voted for
him but spoke for him
Then do you not think, Mr.. Eli

WITH that sense of magnanimity
which should always characterize a
generous victor, Mr.. Taylor and
his friends should refrain from pub
fishing or causing to be published
such editorials as the one in ques

whole support in this
race and shall have it, | am a
Democrat in defeat as well as in vic
tory, and have never scratched my
opponents name in the general cleo
ton. | have a number of friends in
this county who will not patiently
sit down and read such articles as

When the vote vas counted on the
I'd day of June, and it was as
certained that l was not
elected, l accepted the result
philosophically. | made no com.
plant, but girded up my armol

loves his party better than himself,
should not be misrepresented in
