STAINED oLAss widows.
Various Stages of Its Manufacture
from the Design 20 the Conn
pletel work.

The twentieth century American
stained glass maker follows ~withoutim-
portant variation the simple methods
of the French monk of eight centuries
ago. The first requisite is the design, Is
told in The Revival of an Ancient Art;
Modern Stained Glass Work" in Book
lovers Magazine. The artist makes a
small water color sketch TO show the
general design and the color scheme,
accompanying it with detailed studies.
From this two large drawings or car
toons' are made, the exact size of the
desired window. One cartoon shows
where the Heads will be placed-the
thin strips of lead, followed on both
sides and looking in atransverse section
like.the letter Fl, which form the frame
work to bind the pieces of glass together.
Another drawing gives the size and
shape of each piece of glass. This car
toon Is cut into its component pieces by
q pair Cor triplet) of three-bladed scis-.
sors, which leave between their parallel
blades a space sufficient for the leads.
These cut-out patterns are put together
again on o large glass easel, to which
they are attached ty wax. and the spaces
between are blacked ia, to give the effect
of the leads, Tho easel is then placed
against a window where the light can
stream through it. The artist or his
substitute replaces each paper pattern
on the easel by q piece of glass of exactly |
the same size, cut from a sheet of glass
of the color called for by the color
sketch. The sketch is not followed sla-
vishly; experiment with the actual
glass will suggest improvements. To u
greater or less extent this stained glass
is supplemented by painted glass, on
which the colors are fred as in china
painting. When ell the pieces have been
cut, they are transferred tt the '1ead- /
ing" drawing; the flexible leads are
twisted into shape and soldered at the |
joints, and a special cement applied to
make the whole water-tight. The win |
dow is now complete, ready to be put |
in position, where 1t is made secure by |
copper wires fastened to the transverse
lars of iron.

IN TIE AAKD CIDER BELT.
According to This Account 1t Is Lo-
: Gated in Indiana Instead of
New England.

Despite the fact that all the story
books try to make the average western
ar believe that New England is the orig
inal and perpetual home of hard cider,
the man who jumps aboutIndiana very
much knows that it is also the universal
thirst cure over a big part of that state.
A Chicago man who has just returned
from a visit at his old home down below
indianapolis, says the Inter Ocean, has
this to say about the hard cider habit in
Indiana.
One night while l was down home en-
old farmer whom | knew when l was a
hoy, gave a ~rip-roaring country dance
in my honor. When we got to his place
he brought into the sitting room about
two dozen tin cups and a tub filled with
hard cider. Around the rim of the tub
a-number of nails were driven and upon
these the tin cups were hung. They
didn't stay there very much of the time,
but the nails were there fer that pur-
pose. After the old man had brought
in the tub of cider he brought in a large
tin bucket, which was also filled with
the brown liquid. Then he went to a
cupboard and TOOL down a big jug. The
contents Of this jug he emptied into the
tub. Then, stepping into the middle of
the room, he announced:
"Ladies and gentlemen: The cider
in the tub is for the benefit of the men.
The women will please drink from the
tin pail

| had known him for many years, and l
felt at liberty to ask him why he was
in such a hurry.
"'Well, he said. 4 don't see any use
of wasting q whole gallon Of good whis-
ky by pouring into a tub of poor cider.
| came here expecting to get some real
refreshments. ] didn't expect to be
forced to watch them commit a sin like
that NJ
81 told the host what this fellow had
said, and | got this answer:
"I had to do it. | wouldn't give a
durn for hard cider that didn't have a
spikein it. That tub Of cider is now hard
enough to turn a prohibitionist conven-
ton into a Jamboree. Fact is, instead
of having ore gallon of whisky, we
have now a tubful. don't know that
you ever noticed it, but it is a fact that
you can take the mildest and most harm
less cider in the world and pour into it a
little real fighting whisky, and you can
get a whole regiment drunk in 40 min
utes.'
Before the night was over I saw that
the old man was right, Before 10 o'clock
that party was a dandy. think nearly
every man there was pretty well fixed
Nobody got into q fighting mood,
but what that tub of spiked cider did to
make things lively could never be half
told.

a barrel of the real stuff, and I'm going
to try the spiking idea myself"

WERE SHOT
Fatal Poolroom Raid at Mad
ison, III.
FIFTY CITIZENS USE SHOTCUES
After Grand Jury Failed to Indict
People Took the Law Into Their
own Hands In an Endeawor to
Close Ont Gamblers.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 20.-It is just re
ported that in a raid on a poolroom a
Madison, ILL.,, sixteen persons have
been shot, two fatally. Fifty or more
citizens of Madison, armed with shot
guns, left the main part of the town
a few minutes before 8 o'clock fol
the Madison poolroom.
The raid was an effort to close up q
poolroom that has for a long time OPP
Grated in the outskirts of Madison, ILL.,,
across the river from st. Louis. Three
constables, augmented by a posse OF
| citizens and bearing warrants for the
arrest Of six men connected with the
poolroom, precipitated the riot, which
resulted in the shooting of seven men.
Two may die.
Lee Harlan, druggist, and Patrick
McCambridge, policeman, were wound
ed probably MORALLY.
After the failure of the Madison
county grand jury, which recently in
vestigated the poolroom, to return in
dictments citizens took the matter in
hand, with the intention of having the
poolroom closed. Several days ago
warrants were issued for State Sena-
tor David Nelson of Missouri, charging
him with being a pool seller, and Vic
tor Schiller, charging him with con-
Quoting the poolroom and being GUS
todian of the funds. Schiller was ar
rested and gave bond ef $500 pending
a hearing.
The additional warrants were sworn
out, and three constables appeared at
the poolroom to serve them. Two po-
licemen were within and declared they
had arrested the operators of the pool
room and were guarding them. Bet
ting was going on as usual at the time.
| The constables were ordered to leave
the premises, which they did after ar
| gument. Proceeding through the neigh
borhood for the next half hour, the
constables organized a posse of armed
citizens numbering about fifty persons.
The constables and posse then return
ed to the poolroom and entered. They
| were at once ordered out, and the doors
We're ordered locked. The posse de-
INJURED, and words followed. One pos
seman, it is stated, pointed Il shotgun
at Policeman McCambridge, who fired
a revolver into the ceiling. Firing then
became general. The policeman was
shot through the body.
The crowd in the poolroom scattered
%hurriedly, many fleeing into a waiting
Illinois Central train until !; ~ aile
packed. When the fusillade Mas over,
the constables and posse had posses
sion. The bookmakers, however, as
sert that the poolroom will be open as
usual today. Although the poolroom
men are now ~constructively under ar
rest, the police say they will not per
nit the citizens to interfere.
Warrants were sworn out before JUS
tice of the Peace Isenmeyer of Granite
City, adjoining Madison, for the arrest
Of Whitfield Brooks and Eugene Wall
of Granite City and Thomas Riley,
Charles Greenfield, Thomas Manley
and Martin Johns of st. Louis, charg-
ing them with being connected with

In ourselves the suns shine dwells;

A certain eastern governor who in
his youth had been a shepherd and
whom good fortune had raised to q
high position, prepared in his palace
a room in which were displayed the
simple garments and implements
which belonged to his humble shep-
herd life. At regular intervals the
governor retired to. this room, and for
an hour contemplated the mementoes
of the low estate from which good for
tune had raised him. so that he might
not become lifted up and naughty be-
cause Of his preferment. 1t IS said that
the mental and moral discipline to
which he thus subjected himself has so
beneficial an effect upon his charac-
ter that he became greatly renowned
for the equity and justice which char
acterized his official conduct. A sa-
gacious writer has suggested that it is
a wise plan for everyone to maintain
q sort OF memory room, or perhaps
several such mental apartments, to
which he may retire at will for such
contemplation as will give him the
mental or moral discipline which he
may require.
One such room that everybody needs
is a sunshine room, into which should
be gathered the happiest and mos6
felicitous recollections. Here on the
walls OF memory may be painted rep
reservations of the most delightful ex-
periences which one has enjoyed, the
most brilliant successes which one has
achieved, the most remarkable deliver
ances from dangers or perplexities, the
most striking instances of Providential
care and leading. When the gloomy

one may retreat into his sunshine

of its memory-treasured glories, may
dissipate the clouds and bask in the
warmth and light of former days.
1t is not always easy to turn away
from the contemplation of the present
griefs and sorrows CT life, and fore
bodings in relation to those which the
morrow seems to have in store for us,
to dwell upon the memory pictures Of
the days gone by, but the power to do
this may readily be increased by prac-
tice. A resolute effort in the right di-
rection will accomplish wonders in
putting despair and disappointment
into the background and bringing to
the foreground of our consciousness
mental pictures which are radiant with
the light of joy and hope and conf
dence. II there seems little in our own
experience which affords food for
hopeful and joyful thought, we may
find help in recalling and considering
