4 GALLANT FIREMAN.

The personal bravery of Captain
Swenie, late Chief OF the Chicago Fire
Department, at fire might have been
called the most abandoned reckless
ness had he not been such superb
general and fighter. Great as were
the risks he took he never took one
unnecessarily, and never asked his men
TO 90 into place of danger into which
he was not glad and willing to lead
them.
While he was still boy volunteer his
first act of conspicuous eallantry was
recorded. in the archives of the depart

flames and given up for lost. Their

UNDER THE EYE OF GOD.

A good story is told in the English
papers of how the Somali Mad Mullah
worked one of those miracles" which
drew many waverers to his banner.
An English man-of-war was sent to
demonstrate off the coast, and at night
threw searchlight onto the Jungle
covered mountains. Abdullah was In
hiding there, and knowing from his
visits to Alden what 1t was that his
followers hailed as new star, told
them that the light was seeking him.
When the electric rays actually
flooded his cncampment he cried in
triumph: "Will you reny now that
am under the eyes of God"
The Somall fell on their knees, beat
the earth with their foreheads and re-
piled: "Thou art truly the Elect, the
Chosen, the Mullnh, the Master. Our
goods. our existence, our souls belong
to thee. We place ourselves entirely
at the disposition Of thy will"
A few weeks later came the news OF
the rising of some 1000 of these Somali.

The Well Dressed.

The best dressed men in New York
are the Wall streeters. There is one
young member of the Stock Exchange
who is famous for his clothes. He
has a wardrobe in his private office
and changes his suit three times a day
at 10, at noon and at o'clock. A
busy session on the floor will wreck
any suit. Most of the brokers wear
an old Office coat in the shuttle and
turmoil. and there is scarcely an active
member but has an extra pair OF
trousers to put on after the close of
business. Scores of little tailors in the
financial district make a good living
pressing trousers at so cents a pair.

DESIGN FOR DOILIES.

The mistress of pretty summer
home, whose dining room decoration is
wholly In green and white, has Just
had designed for her dining table mats
and doilles which harmonize delight
fully with the color scheme Of the
room. They are of white linen with a
pattern of English ivy sprays running
over them. The leaves are cut out Of
the linen and white Brussels net is
placed under the openings. the veinings
of the leaves being done in green silk
on the net. The borders of the pieces
consist of green embroidered scallop.

A "FLowER BEDROOM"

A delightful "1ower bedroom" whose
mistress is young girl of artistic
tastes and considerable aesthetic cul-
ture, has been modelled ON the water
lily. Could anything be more charm
ing, unless 1t be n forget-me-not or
wild rose room? The furnishings of
this water lily room are all In green
and white, with suspicion Of yellow
here and there-white wall paper, dark
green mating, curtains of white mus
lin, white enameled furniture, and bed
spread and dressing table cover Of
white - Brussels net over the palest
Nile green. The woodwork is a deli
cate green. and the ceiling and frieze a
delicate yellow.
The "hower bedroom" is just now a
fad, especially with young women and
young girls. Often the most impossible
carpets. woodwork and furniture can
be made to lend themselves TO artistic
effects, with little money and the
"know how" Apple blossoms, forget
me-nots, pink roses, yellow roses, cardI-
nal flowers, cowslips, heliotrope - all
these and hundred other floral favor
ties may be symbolized with enchant-
ing results. These "fower bedrooms"
never fail to please the originator and
her friends, because there are never
two alike, and invention is given free
rein. Ingenuity is never put to better
uses than when making the greatest
possible amount of beauty out of un-
lovely properties and meagre purse
