BULLET IN HIS BACK;
SAYS FRIENDS SHOT HIM
Victim Of Shooting ARRAY Refuses to
Give Police Full Particulars

Give Police Full Particulars
A mysterious shooting for which the
victim gives but scant explanations,
occurred at the corner of Central ave-
nue. and Fourth street last night.
Charles Downes. a young fruit peddler.
received shot in the back, but when
the officers were summoned to look
into the case he would offer scarcely
any information. He was taken to the
emergency hospital, where the bullet
was extracted and the wound. which
is a slight 'one. was dressed.
From the short story told by Downes,
II appears that he was standing on
the corner OF the streets where the
incident occurred when four men, all
of whom he knew came along the
street Downes attempted to break
into the party but was repulsed and
when he tried 1t again one OF the quar-
tet drew revolver and shot him.

HOUSEHOLD
Essentials for a Happy Home.

For the family there is no question
to which so much thought and atten-
ton should be given as to that OF the
home. Ii should be made the most
inviting place of all; its environment
so pleasant that it should eclipse that
of all other places. That this is the
desire of most home makers is be-
yound question, but just how to Gre
ate these conditions is the problem
that confronts them. There is a great
diversity of opinion as to what con-
stitute the essential elements of a
happy and comfortable home. Yet
with this problem confronting them
it should not be so great or trouble
some a question with those who live
the simple and wholesome life OF the
farm. They are the possessors OF
happy children, pets, money enough
to meet their needs, plenty to eat,
clothes enough and nice enough, and
in the farm home there abound love
and confidence the supreme essentials
of happy home.
1t is the first thought on the farm
as the season of cold draws nigh to
provide for bodily comforts during the
long winter. The fall work Is COM
feed for the stock and the places OF
feeding are provided for, so that there
need be as little exposure and incon-
venience as possible while doing the
chores the wood house and the coal
bin are filled early, so when biting
winds and severe storms come there
need be no worry about the supply
of fuel; the cellar is supplied with
apples, potatoes, canned fruits and all
sorts of fine eatables that have been
raised during the summer With these
matters attended to and numerous lit
tie details here and there, also, the
farmer and his family need have no
cause to worry.
But the preparations for the winter
should not end here. The reading
table should be attended to early. A
few books should be added to the
library and some of the best papers
and magazines for the family should
be ordered With plenty of good read
ing and the good woman of the house
having seen to the providing of few
plants and flowers for the rooms used
by the family, what cause have the
farmer and his family to feel that the
winter is a dreary season and that
life is not worth living?

oiled and Painted Floors.

If you have never had your kitchen
floor painted, do not allow another
summer to pass without trying it..
Any woman can do the work. Paints
of any color may be bought already
mixed, and are so inexpensive, while
the amount of labor saved is so great
that we often wonder why there should
be a kitchen floor in the land that
is not painted.
Scrub the floor clean and let 1t
dry, then give it two coats of paint,
allowing each coat plenty of time to
dry. A little Japan dryer added to the
paint will hasten the drying, which
the room all the time. 1t is usually
better to do the painting in the even
ing after the supper dishes are washed
and leave the doors and windows open.
If not quite dry in the morning, and
you cannot cook the breakfast in some
other room, lay boards across where
you walk the most to keep it from
benig tracked If you prefer an oiled
floor to a painted one, get a gallon
of linseed oil and heat quart of it
until almost boiling, and apply 1t with
an old paint brush, which should be
clean, of course. Two coats are usu-
ally needed.
The care of an oiled or painted floor
is important if you would keep it in
the best condition. Mop the floor
once week, using suds of good
soap; rince it with clear water and
wipe dry. 1t is never necessary to
use a scrub-brush, and the water
should not be hot.

Beauty Your Farm.

While we are all doing our little
bit in the city for the Improvement
and beauty of the town of our choice,
our country brethren should not lose
sight of the fact that little energy
and care along the same lines Will
bring forth abundant results, says
Leonard Fowler in his Wenatchee Re-
public.
Well kept lawns, clean streets and
alleys, vacant lots kept well cleared
of weeds-these things are all part
of the work of keeping a city clean,
healthful and pretty. They attract
residents and draw capitalists. But
while all these things are being cared
for in the town, why should our coun-
try neighbors neglect them utterly!
There is such a thing as ''the farm
beautiful and the results are as cor
respondingly valuable and satisfactory
as is the work of making the city
beautiful"
A drive through the adjacent farms
shows we'll kept orchards; the fields
show an abundant harvest; the cattle
are sleek and we'll fed-but the sur
roundings of the farm houses, in too
many cases, are almost everything
that they should not be. The lawn
if there is any-is i'll kept; the steps
are worn out; perhaps there are pick
cts broken and gone from the front
fence; weeds have grown up along
the roadside so as to almost shut out
a view of the premises-the whole
farm shows that there is no effort
made to make it look attractive or
more beautiful than the many places
around it which are no better than
it is.
Beauty will add to the value OF any
farm. 1t is an added asset which
costs the smallest amount of money.

Good Coffee.

The secret of making palatable, non
injurious coffee, lies in the two words;
quick Infusion In the first place, have
the coffee ground to the finest pow
der, so that it's full virtue may be
quickly extracted. Allow a desert
spoonful for each person, mix it with
just enough cold water to make a
thick paste, and let it stand until five
minutes before the time to serve. Have
fresh water boiling, pour on cupful
for each person, and two more for
the persons who are likely to wish
second cup. Put the pot oyer the fire
and let the infusion come to a boil,
settle with a dash of cold water, or
clean egg-shell, and serve Immediately.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1905-11-15

Those who would make the country
more attractive and add dollars to
the value of their properties should
pay more attention to these things.

Preparing the Thanksgiving Turkey.
You certainly will have roast tur-
key for the Thanksgiving dinner. Sc
lect a nice, plump turkey, draw and
wash thoroughly. Prepare the stuff
ing as follows: Take pint OF oys-
tiers, put in a pan and stew in their
own liquor, drain off the liquor and
cut the oysters into bits, add half
cup of butter, a shredded onion, and
a spoonful of powdered thyme. Let
all simmer together, moisten three
pints of stale bread crumbs with the
oyster liquor, add the oysters and
onions, break in three eggs, season
with salt and pepper and mix all to-
gether thoroughly. If the stuffing is
too dry add some milk; if otherwise,
add more crumbs. Stuff the turkey,
sew up the openings, take some but
ter in the hand and rub over the out
side, then dredge with salt, pepper
and flour; put in pan with pint OF
water, place in the oven and wash.
No specific time for roasting can be
given, as so much depends upon the
age, size and condition of the fowl.
A large turkey, year old, will take
as much as three and a half, four,
or even five hours of slow roasting,
while a younger and smaller one may
not require more than half that time.
Basic every ten or fifteen minutes,
and see that the fire is kept even and
steady.
