legitimate business. They take
desperate chances and get big
pay. Their only obituary is
bad picture in the papers and a
line telling that the cross marks
the spot where the head was
found. And by the way how
about moving the Government
powder magazine, which petl-
TONERS have made plain is a
menace to life and property ?
In St. Louis one time powder
mill went up. Hall a score OF
men were hoisted, but escaped
without serious injury. The
superintendent locked them for
the time used in the air and re-
covering from the shock. He
was mean as the mule-train
freighting magnate who charged
the men for ammunition they
used in repelling an attack by
Indians.
What a grand field Formosa
IS lust now for those who have
mastered the trade OF statesman
ship. On that island there are
100000 people and a republic
is proposed for them. Perhaps
100000 have an indistinct idea
of what a republic is like. About
nineteen-twentieths of the re-
maindcr don't care and the
other twentieth is ready for
anv excitement or adventure.
But it is rich country. The
Chinese have undertaken to de-
liver it to Japan and must turn
| it over in good order. Perhaps
Japan will assist in the repairs.
Perhaps Russia and few other
countries, both interested and
disinterested will say: "a re-
public is a sacred thing and all
hands must be kept off," Then
Japan will get mad. The pros
poets for a pretty big racket OF
some sort are very good indeed.
1t is peculiar spectacle afforded
in all the heavy guns OF the
silver forty oratorical battery in
use in Colorado, Nevada and
other white metal States. Why
don't their managers send them

WINGED?
We propose to talk about
lamps this week. Coal oil lamps
of every conceivable sort anc
' description.
e We will start at the entrance
:. of your house. Does your hal
r have hanging lamp, or a lamp
of any kind to brighten 1t VI
evenings and make it agreeable
S for your guests and family? Oul
4, hall lamps are beautifully made
t the incest kind have B & H
$ burners improved. One of oul
: hanging lamps ought to suit you
even if you are very tastidious
i If your hall is large one you
=, need a chandelier with two OF
d more lights. We have some very
n unique designs and late styles
with Bradley & Hubbard tounts
They are in enameled brass anc
S hammered iron. All sorts o
pretty globes and shades go witt
the hall lamps and chandeliers.
:. When you reach the parlor o
: drawing room you must have
l. lamp there. For a large room
one of the chandeliers is needed
n and Tor one smaller a tasty ant
g neat hanging lamp. Our ban
quet and stand lamps are ais
very attractive. These stand
,r are trimmed in brass, nickle
lie plated and hammered iron, ar
in many designs of glass, ant
China, and have detachabl
~ founts and with the improve,
B & H burner. Speaking of tni
'e new burner-in lighting tn
lamp you simply push up par
OF the burner, raising chime
lie without smearing the polishe
ID glass with your moist fingers
lie and should the lamp blow ou
you are not obliged to wait unit
It is cool to prevent burnin
., your fingers. OF course if yo
a. have piano you mustshave
lamp to 60 with it. Either tn
u stand lamp we have just spoke
TO of or regular piano lamp, is tn
i'd thing. The piano lamp is {
various designs and resting on a
extension rod is very easil
&C raised and lowered. To go wit
the stand and piano lamps W
have some OF the prettiest sill
10 shades you ever saw. The color
in are pleasing; they are made
ed many shapes and dalntily trim
med with fine lace, making tn
lamps when finished with one
to these shades one of the most a
= tractive features of room.
- For the dining room we hav
a the banquet lamp and you ca
Id use some of the same designs
st for the drawing room in hangin
l. lamps and chandeliers.
