Don't Litter Up the Han.

Many women labor under the delu-
sion that in order TO give the hall an
appearance of coziness they must hang
up curtains in it, ana fill il with knick-
knacks.
The mere suggestion of such a thing
makes an ordinary man shudder The
curtains get in his way, and he knocks
his hat against them. This is bad for
the hat. 49,.
The only curtains necessary to the
hall are those at the window, and the
cheap knickknacks should he burnt.
They deceive no one; they are
not pretty. and they get in the way.

fact that in many homes the visiting

little matter does not concern the hus-
band, but what he does look for on the
hall table is little vacant space.
He wants this TO lay his paper on

off, and the vacant space is useful in
other ways Therefore, DO not crowd
the hall table with flowers and other
rifies.-Madame.

A FATHERS LAST MESSAGE.
THE PRONOGSAPH MAN WAS
BADLY SCARED.
This Man Adopted Novel Way of Leav-
ing an After-Death Talk For His
Children So They'd Not
Forget Him.


The photograph man wiped the cold
perspiration from his brow and drew
sigh OF relief

man who just went OUT pretty nearly

and talk to a photograph, instead Of
debating to a typewriter. so you may
be sure we have interesting sessions
sometimes, but that man who just
went out had a new kink to work
When he came in l thought he
acted rather queerly; kind of preoccu-
pied and solemn. So when he drew
his chair up 10 the table, looked at the
horn with n sickly, sentimental express
sion, and said, 'Good-by, good-by, my
children" l almost had fit.
Here's a man. said / to myself
who's going TO send 4 farewell TO his
family and then committed suicide
Il didn't like the idea a little bit. but
I was anxious to hear what else he
had TO say, so / kept still and listened
He went on with some more farewell
words, and | Gained down a little bit
because / happened to think that he
might be going to Europe, or Manila,
or Jail. But l didn't stay calm very
long. As soon as he had finished his
good-byes, he started TO tell his chill
dren that they would never see him
again, but that he would be watching
them from above. and he wanted them
TO grow up to be good men and good
women, an honor to themselves and to
their dead father. Well, l never inter-
rupt a record maker, so l held my
peace till he had finished, and then
said:
What in thunder is this, anyway

Then he laughed and said he hadn't
any intention of dying Immediately,
and was just getting a record TO leave
TO his children when his time came.
II was square, too, guess, so let him
have the record and he paid me for it,
But / tell you he gave me a bad five
minutes. Wouldn't that be an up-to-
date way of committing suicide? Make
your farewell speech with a phono-
graph. and then. before the thing was
through registering, whip out a revolt

be in the record, even to your final
groan"
