A REMARKABLE EXHIBIT.
Otto Kuehne's Booth at Midwintel
Has Many Admirers.

The rarest gem is invariably found
occupying the central position in jew
eled setting and this rule has been fol-
lowed in the very artistic arrangement
of booths at the 11idwinter exposition, of
which that of Mr.. Otto Kuehne of To-
peka is far and away the most beauti-
full, costly and elaborate.
Mr.. Kuehne's name has long since be-
come a household word in thousands OF
homes in the great west, where he is
recognized as the manufacturer of the
finest line OF table condiments in the
wOrld-the famous Silver Leaf brands.
So indisputable are his claims in this
respect that the real connOisSeur. the
discriminating chef and the daintiest
epicure find no table complete unless its
spread" is rounded out with some of
the choice and delicious products of the
Topeka Preserving works
The magnificent display at the Mid
winter exposition IS, therefore, no more
than fair exponent of the results that
have crowned Mr.. kuehne's wonderful
work in building up a trade that each
year has seen expanded until it has
passed the boundaries not only of Kan
sas but of the transmissouri country,
and has become of national importance
and value.
Designed and constructed at an ex-
pense of over $500 to fill a conspicuous
niche at the Chicago Worlds fair, this
booth became, even amidst the displays
of competing nations, the admiration
and pride of visitors from this state,
ard the object of fiattering comment
from distinguished people of two hem
ispheres. It now appears exactly as it
stood at that renowned exposition, and
by its brilliant illumination fairly daz-
zles the eye of the visitor upon first
entrance to the hall The myriad cleo
trio lamps but serve to display advan-
tageOusly the marvellous variety and
excellence of the contents of the booth,
however, which offer a practical and
forcible object lesson of the possibilities
within the reach OF a man of energy,
enterprise, perseverance and capacity
to grasp public wants and crafty pub
lie tastes.

ers have simply done it to death.
The possibilities of colored linens are
fast being appreciated. and a handsome
centerpiece can be evolved from a large
round of tan linen embroidered in poin-
settia blossoms, the red flowers har-
monizing perfectly on the ecru back
ground. Possibly every woman who
entertains does not know that she can
seat as many guests as she pleases If

pine covers of different sizes which will
fit over her usual dining table. These
