SOME NOTES ON THE
BOWLING TOURNAMENT

just for starter, how would it do to
have match game between Ike He'll
bronner of the Thornton alleys and L.
X. Cook Of the Phster?
The Lodge was the last team to prepare
for the tournament, but they may be an
important factor in the fight
That the Thornton alleys are good was
attested by the All-American bowling trio,
Wolf, Peterson and VOORHEES,. The best
series Of their trip was rolled on those al
leys. The total was 3,o95, which is the
worlds record for foreign alleys.

All these questions can be answered only
by the fighters themselves in the ring to-
night.
True, Clifford says he will stand up and
make it a slugging match if Herrera is
willing, and Bishop says Clifford needn't
fear on that score, but fighters are apt
to change their tactics on an instants no
tice to suit the exigencies of the case.
So we will wait patiently for the tap of
the gong.

There is perhaps more interest in to-
nights fight at Sutton's Broadway theater
than there has been in any other sporting
event in years in this neck of the woods.
Whenever you see money being placed
on the result of an event OF this nature
you can gamble on it there's something
doing.
Up to noon today Clifford was a slight
favorite in the betting. Several wagers
were placed on the Butte boxer at odds
of 10 to 8, but it is expected that even
money will be the order at the rngside
tonight.
So much has been written about the

There is nothing in the rumor that all

the prices advertised and the managers
have given orders that not more than IS
seats be sold to any one person.
Jim Murphy, matchmaker for the club

Pipestone Springs today and said he would

 In our own day we could build just as good furniture as Chippendale ever made if the competition of trade was not so great. We use wood regardless of the fact that it has not been sea- soned long enough. and in thorough sea- soning lay the strength of the old art iSts.

Colonial Furniture Tn the American Hom,

WO be or not to be antique in
 our furnishings is a question
 that is apt to perplex the wo-
 man who is about to select be- Iongings for her home. The present fad, as we all know, Is for old furni- ture and for the real antique if one Is fortunate enough to be able to compass its possession. If the real is beyond one's possibilities, some of the very good reproductions are satisfactory substitutes.
 To be able to intelligently select the modern antique, if may use the term, a knowledge of the different kinds of furniture which have been period mak- ing in the history of cabinet art is of the greatest advantage. One is then prepared, so to speak, to select the sheep from the goats, the good from the bad in the new.
 Unfortunately the really serious mat. ter of choosing our material surround ings, the things which make so much flor our best development, is left to chance. How often this selection is more a matter of going sheep fashion with the popular fancy than of bring ing ones individual fancies and con- victions into the purchase of furniture!
 There is nothing more fascinating than the furnishing of house and the making of a home in the very best sense of the word, in which thought and taste have been expended in every detail, home where everything is ad- justed to the attainment of the end of pleasing, of making people feel happy and at their best within it's walls.
 Of course mere articles of furniture in themselves cannot bring about this atmosphere, but they can very mate rially help We have all felt the influ- ence of house whose furnishings were harmonious, and it goes without saying that they were appropriate.
 It is just in this word appropriate" that the keynote of all successful fur nishirIg lies The misapplication of objects really beautiful in themselves defeats the artistic purpose and often produces a ridiculous appearance.
 When the antique is the motif of a household scheme, it is well not to go too far down the ages for an inspira- tion. I am speaking about the average house where one really lives, not of the show house where one is not supposed to be in sympathy with surroundings
 It seems to me that for the American home nothing is more in keeping than "coloniaP' furniture from the fact that not only were colonial events part of our history, but the cabinet making of that time was derived from the best period of English art.
 It was the era of the Chippendales, the Sheratons and Adamses, those art ists in form who with their strong beautiful lines and general utility and grace of design effected reform in in-

thing of rarity. Such universal in- terest is taken in the collection of these curiosities and such store is set upon those which the possessor is fortunate enough to inherit that the ingenuity of cabinet makers has been taxed to the utmost in supplying receptacles for these treasures. The happiest speci- mems of the curio table are to be met in the old French examples.
 Chippendale made china showcases" but they were more in the nature of or dinary cabinets and intended purely for the use their name implies. They were made of mahogany, tall and slim with glass panels and shelves. The French cabinets were of walnut, the inside being lined with pale blue velvet, and had raised and sunk compartments possibly made to fit some particular treasure.
 This is only one of the styles, but the French variety was almost infinite.

All Japanese sit with their feet on the seat of the carriage, and not as Americans do.

A mutton pie may be made equally well from cooked meat, but will not have to cook more than thirty to forty five minutes so as to bake the pastry. Take couple of steaks off leg of mutton and cut the meat into square pieces, removing all skin. Have on a plate heaped tablespoonful of flour, a teaspoonful of chopped onion, the same quantity of chopped parsley, with pep per and salt to taste. Dip each piece of meat in the flour and pack it lightly in a pie dish. scattering over all the remains of flour, etc. Fill up the dish with stock, water or gravy. Cover with good crust and bake steadily for one and half to two hours. Let the oven become cooler after the pastry is done

To Clean a Sewing Machine.

Place it near the fire to get warm. that the congealed oil about it may melt, and then oil it thoroughly with paraffin. Work it quickly for few minutes, then wipe off all the paraffin and dirt and treat it to little more clean paraffin. Wipe it again, and aft CT the application of a very little of the ordinary lubricating oil it will be ready for use. People often shirk the trouble of thoroughly cleaning their machines like this, but a clogged and heavy machine under this treatment will be- come like new, and its easy working will be an ample reward for any trou- ble incurred.
