wanted and his willingness to pay.
they both cheerfully accompanied him.
As they stood with their backs to the
range in the kitchen and hungrily eyed
the remains of dinner he took their
temperature and pronounced it normal
and then escorted them to the back
yard. There We're snow banks against

took his stand at a window. He had
scarcely begun his observations when

coughed and crammed his mouth full
of snow.

WHEN PAPERING A HOUSE.

1t is generally mistake to choose red
paper for living room, as it is sure to
get on the nerves. as the English say,
after while, being much too stimulat-
ing. 1t is admirable, however, in din
ing room that is used only at meal time,
giving an air of cheerfulness and lending
buoyancy to the mental tone. When a
room is large and badly lighted, silyery
gray, pale blue or cream is desirable
When the sitting or drawing room is
large enough, it is always a good idea to
arrange the furniture in coy little
groups. Where there is a fireplace, de-
lightful effect is produced by placing
settee at one side, at a right angle, and
a large chair opposite, with a small table,
perhaps, beside it, for reading lamp and
books Near the window may be another
group of chairs and little table.
Lounging chairs are out of place in q
room where visitors are formally re-
ceived but the chairs should be large and
comfortable to sit on.
Bedrooms should have light and cheer
full furnishings, in order that the mind
may catch the CHEEKY spirit before get
ting into bed. All the gloom of daily
life should be dropped when bedtime
comes, and few realize how materially
CHEEKY surroundings in the champer aid
in the effort.

Cured The latter at once summoned a
policeman, who recognized the sleeper as
the man wanted" for the crime in ques-
ton. At the trial which followed he was
found guilty and sentenced to death AS
for the sailor, he came in for a consider
able reward.
Perhaps the entire history of crime con-
tains no more dramatic episode than that
which occurred some years ago in Il
Prussian township. The husband of 4
certain attractive young woman had
vanished in a mysterious manner from
his home, and all attempts to trace his
whereabouts failed completely. Mean
time neighbor called Schmidt, who had
been devoted to the young wife before
her marriage, reappeared on the scene and
paid her assiduous attentions. So sue
cessfuily did he press his suit that with
in a year of his rivals disappearance
they were united at the parish church.
Now comes the sequel. On the second
night following the wedding the newly
made bride lay awake, unable to SUM
Der. Presently there came a gurging
cry from the sleeping form beside her.
and moment later the man leaped from
that he had killed the missing husband
and had buried the body in a neighbor-
ing wood. This statement the sleeper
reiterated several times, naming the ex-
act spot where the corpse lay inferred.
The wife drank in the confession, and
next morning carried the remarkable
story to the police bureau. The place
named by the sleeper was searched and,
sure enough, the body of the vanished
man was discovered there.
Somwhat similar in several details was
the case of an Austrian peasant VINO
murdered his friend in order that he
might WOO the latter's sweetheart, girl
of unusual beauty. All attempts to trace
the missing man had failed and doubt
less the affair would have remained
mystery to the end of time had not the
criminal signed his own death warrant
by confessing the crime while doing by
the fire in a friends cottage. Bit by
bit he described the incidents of the ter
rible affair, stating that he had Destroy
ed his victims body by fire.
The man was then arrested and his
cottage searched. Some garments and
watch belonging to the deceased being
found there, his guilt was considered half
proved, and when placed in the dock he
made full confession. repeating. in

CRIMES CONFESSED IN SLEEP.

Criminologists say that the greatest
terror that aff1icts that fraction of hui
mainly suffering from an uneasy con-
science is not dread of the police. by any
means, nor awe of any other acknowl-
edged enemy of law-defiers.
What the criminal breads is sleep.
Sleep is, it appears, the friend of the
righteous only. To men with the knowl-
edge of dark deeds stored within them
sleep is the most treacherous of foes
The countless poems that have been
written in praise of it very naturally ap-
pear as so much cold-blooded mockery to
such as are in hourly dread of betraying
themselves under its influence.
An untold number of crimes have been
confessed by their perpetrators during
sleep Is it any wonder that those con-
scious of Irregularities of conudct prefer
to remain awake?

THE FAD OF THE DUCHESS.

From dogs to carnations, the choice of
fads of the Duchess of Newcastle has
been transferred. Instead of giving up
her time to her canine pets and superin-
tending the conduct of her kennels, the
duchess is engaged In establishing at
Clumber the finest collection of carna-
tons in England.
Already she has gone far toward attain
ing her ambition. So devoted has she
become to her beloved flowers Fat it is
stated that she will forego her anticipated
visit to America this winter so that her
collection may not suffer by her absence.
Since the memorable row over prizes
which resulted In her ladyship's resigna-
ton from the ladies' branch of the Ken
mel club, the duchess interest in dogs has
been waning. Now she has given them
up entirely.
The carnations at Clumber are credited
with being finer than any in the country
The former gardener of Lord Burton has
been placed in charge of the collection.
The duchess inclination for flowers is
inherited from her father, Maj Candy,
who introduced the smilax into England.
