mind that as rule we and our concerns

than they and their concerns are to us.
Why. then, should we go over the an

hardships we have suffered in money
matters, in love. or our domestic

ART IN THE HOUSEHOLD.
How to Make the Dining Room bright
and Cheerful and Restful
to the Eye.

All authorities agree that surround
ings have much to do with digestion,
and, as much of human happiness de-
ponds upon digestion, it is certainly
our duty to bend our efforts toward
making the dining-room as bright and
pleasant as possible.
An east exposure is very good one,
as one gets the pretty morning sun
and none of the hot afternoon sun
shine. We cannot always decide these
things for ourselves, but we can usual
liz do much in overcoming disadyan-
tages by care in furnishing. If the
dining-room is a dark room which the
suns rays cannot enter. il is not q
difficult matter to make sunshine from
the inside. We know that the shades
of yellow bring suggestions OF sun
shine to our minds, 50 here we have
our first idea. Let the walls be vel
low, using several shades, but being
careful to keep clear of the lemon or
pumpkin shades. Have the woodwork
a soft creamy white enamel. green
carpet looks well in room like this,

combining these two colors. There
are beautiful carpets and rugs in the
rich shades Of yellow running into
the nut brown which have a dash OF
red in them. Such carpet would be
particularly effective in yellow din,
ing-room. Some of the ingrains have
beautiful brown effects, which would
be most pleasing as well as inexpen-
siye.
The Flemish oak finish, mahogany
or dark shades of oak are the best
woods for furniture. If you are fur
nishing anew, do not select one of the
heavy sideboards, unless you can af-
ford very handsome ore. There are
so many less clumsy little bullets and
tables which make a far better APP
pcarance for less money. For pic.
lures, avoid the print pictures which
one sees in so many dining-rooms

WOMEN AS FARMERS.
Some Who Have Taken Up western
Lands Have Made Quite Sue

From time immemorial women have
been tillers of the soil, but always as
serving men. 1t has been reserved Tor
the United States to produce the
woman farmer in independent owner
ship, toiling Of her own will and reap
ing herself the fruit of her labors.
One of the most picturesque IN
stances of the woman farmer Is fur-
nished by Miss Gates, trained nurse
of New York city, who had gone to
the west for her health shortly be-
fore the opening of the Cherokee strip
in Oklahoma. She was living in
| Guthrie, Okla, and decided that she
might as well become landed pro-
prietor. The homestead claims OF
100 acres were to be assigned to those

her vicinity to the strip to look 1t

| The opening day she crossed the line
a minute after the hour Ga minute
before would have invalidated her
rights, seated on n pillow to which
two heavy horses were attached, and
"made the rum the first on the strip.
Her clever idea was to stake the
claim by plowed furrow, beginning
on the outer edge. In this way she
inclosed the land in incontestable fash
ion. She had hired man with her,
but she drove the pillow. The next
day small cabin was built for the
hired man. She lived in Guthrie until
tiny house could be built, then took
personal possession. Five years o.
residence were required to perfect the
claim. but at the end of two years the
young woman was ready TO return
to the east, and transferred her rights
to a settler, who paid enough for the
claim to give the enterprising pre-
emptor clear profit of more thar

Their negro farm hands would not
plant a holly tree for worlds, as they
believe that if they did they would
die as soon as the tree became tall
enough to cast shadow the measure
of their graves.
Last Christmas the sisters found
the trees SO grown that they re-
quired thinning out, and the trees
that were removed were sent north
for Christmas trees and brought high
prices, as they were symmetrical and
covered with large, rich berries. They
plant the mistletoe berries under the
bark of old oak trees, in the fork or
