missioners upon the recommended
ton of the citizens of Brookside
and also people who travel the
road, because night had been made
SO hideous there by killings, cut
tings and other depredations.
These saloon keepers were then
paying $500 per year license, but
last fall the county ommissioners
revoked the same and the thirst
parlors were closed for a time,
but it was only for a short time.
1t is claimed that ese men stood

cials who let them reopen regard
less of the orders imposed by the
commissioners.

MADE ROOM FOR BEDSTEAD.
Lover of Old Furniture HAS Her
House RemOdeIed to Accom-
modate the Big Article.

Mrs. Samuel Bennett. pf Tintonfall>.
y. j.. is fond of furniture of colonial
make. She recently had some guest
from New York. When they returned
home they sent her an antique rose
wood bedstead. The bedstead was
large and heavy and the family could
NOT get il upstairs and the second
story windows were not large enough
10 permit il 60 pass through. even II
the sash was taken out. Carpenters
were sent for. and a hole was cut
through the side of the house beside
the stairway TO admit the bed>read.
Then Mrs. Bennett found that the
head Of the hedstead was too tall TO
stand mp in the room. The hole in the
side of the house had been closed and
the bedsfead could not be taken out
again without chopping ont the side
Mrs. Bennett did not like the idea Of
doing this: she wanted the bedstead
upstairs. To solve the problem she
decided 10 have part IF The ceiling Of
the room raised. The carpenters once
more Went 10 work and the ceiling was
raised about eight inches at one end Of
the room. Then the bedStead was
set M
