 Now the taste for que furniture is bringing the coffera |ain into favor. Two seen recently wa made for the state rooms of yachts. They are both carved and tinted.
 One chest Is built of weathered oak. deeply carved and then stained In green and red. The design represents mer- maids sporting in the midst of an ocean forest. Seaweeds and shells are the most conspicuous features In the picture.
 The other coffer Is of oak. having a gray finish. It Is decorated with burnt design Green and mauve stains arc used to touch up the figures The sub- feet of these decorations is . scene at the court of King Neptune.
 Bedroom cOffers are usually adorned with flowers. birds. butterflies or some allegorical or mythological scene One small boudoir chest has representations of Penelope among her maidens upon its panels Through open windows tho sprays of the climbing roses are blown into the room and the flowers with the garments of the women are brilliantly colOred.
 Scriptural subjects were painted on some of the antique chests, and these have been well initiated by modern workmen. The painted panel Is set deep in the wood and framed by a wide band of holding. Carved figures. supporting the corners, and elaborately designed lids arc features of the painted chests.
 The most ancient designs are tho heavily carved ones. Those who arc versed in tho history of furniture can tell to nicety the age of chest by tho style of carving and quality of the wood. The earlier Renaissance specimens are almost priceless. and even copies of them are expensive. In appearance they are not unlike a coffin. There Is usually richly carved base, the long shallow body above 1t being slightly curved Tho lid projects over the body. and Is less deeply cut than the sides.
 A more modern Renaissance chest. and style which Is more frequently copied. is embellished with small panels, on which appear conventionalized foli- age designs in line work. The shading is burnt into the wood
 Gilded and enameled coffers are also to be seen. but they are eighteenth cen- tury work and represent the period of decadence.
 The modern household coffer is usual- ly lined with silk or an art fabric Plenty of tiny pockets are scattered over tho lining, and in these are placed sachets for pertaining the contents of the box. The chests are convenient receptacles for linen. bedclothes. draperies or gar- ments not in use.
 Those who can afford a cedar chest 1sed have no fear of moths Although these ornamental boxes cost more than trunks. they will last a lifetime. They are distinctly decorative, and may be made to fit any vacant niche in a small room. The price varies with the style Of decoration and wood. Some are conn., parativeiy inexpensive, while others. good limitations of the carved antique chest or the gilded and enameled eight eenth century masterpieces. are valued A are most works of art

$500 FOR LETTERS
 ABOUTTHE SOUTHWEST.

The Western Trail magazine offers six prizes aggregating in value $500 in railroad transporta- tion for letters from residents of Arkansas, East Colorado, Mis- souri, Kansas, Indian Territory, Oklahoma, Texas and New Mex leo.
 It wants letters that will in- duce energetic and ambitious men and women to settle in the great and growing Southwest and there engage in farming, cattle raising, dairying, fruit growing and similar pursuits.
 To accomplish the purpose which it has in view, the Vest ern Trail offers the following prizes in railroad transportation for the six letters which, in the opinion of a competent judge, shall be deemed best suited to it's requirements:
 First prize, $100 in railroad transportation.
 Second prize, $75 in railroad transportation.
 Third prize, $50 in railroad transportation.
 Fourth prize, 1925 in railroad transportation.
 Fifth prize, $25 in railroad transportation.
 Sixth prize, 1925 in railroad transportation.
 THE CONDITIONS ARE EASY.
 Letters should deal with tn writer's experiences since he set- tied in the Southwest. They should tell how much money he had when he rived, what he did when he first came. what measure of success has since crowned his efforts and what he thinks of that portion of country in which he is located.
 Letters should not be less than 300 nor more than 1,500 words in length, and will be used for the purpose of advertising the South west. Letters are desired not only from farmers and farmers wives, but also from merchants, school teachers, clergymen; from everyone who has story to tell and who knows how to tell it. Poetical contributions are not wanted.
 All cannot win prizes, but by their contributions they can as- sist the Western Trail in it's ef- forts to colonize and upbuild the Southwest.
 Contest closes June 30, 1905. Prizes will be awarded as soon thereafter as results can be de- termined. Address the Western Trail, 736-744 Van Buren street, Chicago, III.

In course of time Loomis came to
Washington and became Secretary
Hays right hand man; then Secre
tary Hay became ill, and all business
pertaining to Venezuela had to be
transacted by Secretary Looms. The
latter and Bowen were on excellent
terms, and both had an old-time
grudge against Castro. Whereupon
things began to happen.
This is one of the sidelights Of the
case, and is part of an explanation
which has made President Roosevelt
feel little more conservative on
the subject.
1t is learned in addition. that the
reply which Castro has forwarded to
Washington sets forth his claim that
he is living up to the terms of The
Hague award In all good faith. In
regard to the so-called seizures of the
Italian mines and the French cable
property, he says that Bowen has
misrepresented. Instead of seizure,
he says that he has merely begun
action in the courts of his country,
having issued a writ of attachment,

MAKES RAIN

RIVERSIDE, Cal, April 1o.-A
slender, unassuming young man,
with cabinet of mystery, has caused
the people of southern California to
doubt within the last three months
the Creators control over the ele-
ments. The young man is Charles NJ.
Hatfield. He promised IS inches Of
rainfall for the season.
The seasons rainfall in Los Ange-
les has not been IS inches for 10
years. 1t has amounted to that only
three times in 20 years, and the
average for so years has been only
about half that amount.
With desperate outlook for an
other drought subscription was
taken up and Hatfield was promised
$1,000 if he delivered the IS inches
on schedule time.
Hatfield erected "rainmaking sta
ton at Esperanze, on the slope of
Mount Wilson, and set to work. Since
that time hardly a week has passed
without a heavy rain. Repeatedly
Hatfield has called the exact time
when storm would arrive
The heaviest precipitation has been
at or near the place where he has
erected his cabinet, and today he
needs only IA of an inch to make
up the IS inches.

To guard American interests, war
ships would then be ordered to the

other means for settling American

The Orinoco Improvement company
is the final American claimant. 1t is
alleged by Castro that the company
never has expended $1,000 in improve
ments in Venezuela, and has neither
lived up to it's undertakings nor suf-
fered any bona fide loss, but it comes
forward now with a claim for $685.

President Roosevelt does not give
unqualified credit to all that Castro
says, but he believes there is enough
truth in the other side of the case
to warrant more cautious action than
Bowen or Loomis would approve. In
this he is backed up by Acting Secre-
tary of State Taft.
1t is known that the president
would welcome a simple eXpedient for
eliminating Bowen, but he is unwill-
ing to transfer him when such action
might be construed as a weakening
by this government. But If relations
become further strained, the removal
of Bowen will have to come, If not
by this government, then by receiv-
ing his passports from Castro.

Castro-Bowen Feud.
1t is learned that Bowen and Castro
are no longer on speaking terms, and
Castro has sent word to the state
department that he would be glad to
have Bowen withdrawn. The quarrel
between Bowen and Castro involves a
charge that Bowen was paid a fee
at the time of the trial of the Vene-
zuelan claims before The Hague
court. But the difficulty dates back
to the time when the present assist
ant secretary of state, Loomis. was
minister to Venezuela and had quar-
rel with Castro. This trouble result
ed in Loomis being handed his pass
ports, and he was transferred by the
state department to another station.

Germs the customs receipts of La

per cent of these are pledged to the
foreign claims, and any effort at col

President Castro is not so defiant,
or so anxious for trouble, by any
means, as he has been represented
to be. He has his private agent in
ashington, and he also has a diplo-
matte representative here, and has
made use of these channels to make
representations to President Roose-
Welt and the officials of the state de-
