Proper Method by which to Benutify

Here Is the way to clean mahogany
as it was cleaned in the beginning and
Is cleaned now by the dealers who
make life study of the art of pre-
serving this wood.
Don't be afraid of water.
Get bucket filed with warm, cleai
water, and take a sponge and wash
down the piece as though it were q
horse. Wipe the water off with per.
fectly dry piece Of cheesecloth. Take
a clean scrubbing brush, cheap five
cent one, and go in all the cracks OF
the carving and get out every particle
of dust. If your scrubbing brush has
been soaked in water and is soft it is
that much better. When you have
thoroughly wiped off every bit of the
water and left the wood dry get your
tin can Of turpentine and linseed oil,
two-thirds turpentine to one-third oil.
Mix it slowly and WELL Dip into II
with large, round, soft paint brush
and go over every piece of the wood
in and out of the carving as though
you were painting.
Then take a clean piece Of chamois
and rub gently, persistently and con.
tinuously.
1t is quite easy to wash and simply
paint the wood with the oil and tur.
pentine, but the art of the thing comes
in the gentle, steady, watchful polish.
ing.
One streak of the oil left in beads on
the grain of the wood catches enough
dust to produce a cloudy surface at
once.
Don't think hard, vigorous rubbing
is needed. Don't put out your strength
in violent strokes. Keep it for patient
ly administered rubbing.
When this is all finished, your ma
hogany will look like new.
If this is done once a month by your
self or well trained servant you can

A LEPAGE PICTURE.
The Work That Brought the Artist
Public Recognition.

The Work That Brought the Artist
Public Recognition.
The label on certain spring water
still in use was designated by Du
Maurier, who was probably not over
paid for it, and New York artist who
has since gained distinction eked out
the hardest part of his early struggles
by designing advertisements for
commercial house. There have been
Slany more perhaps, but the most con-
epicuous on record is Bastien Lepage,
who through this very fact was forced
Into fame. He was pursued by unmer-
ciful disaster through his youth in his
efforts to study art His mother worked
In the fields to keep a sickly boy at
school. At fifteen he went alone to
Paris, starved for seven years, painted
without success, but still--painted. He
had just finished a picture to send to
the Salon when Paris was besieged,
and he rushed with his comrades to
the trenches.
On the first day shell fell into his
studio and destroyed his picture, and
another shell burst at his feet, wound
Ing him. He was carried home and lay
III and idle for two years. Then he re-
turned to Paris and, reduced to absO-
lutte want painted cheap fans for a
living.
One day manufacturer of some pat
ent medicine ordered picture from
him to illustrate its virtues. Lepage,
who was always sincere, gave his best
work to this advertisement. He paint
ed landscape in the April sunlight.
The leaves of tender green quivered in
the breeze. y group of beautiful young
girls gathered around fountain from
bubbling stream. Lepage believed there
was real merit in it.
"Let me offer it at the Salon?" he
asked his patron.
The manufacturer was delighted.
"But first paint rainbow arching over
the fountain" he said, with the name
Of my medicine upon It,"
Lepage refused.
"Then l will not pay you sou for
the picture
The price Of this picture meant bread
FOR months, and the painter had long
needed bread. The chance of admis-
sion to the salon was small. He hest
lated. Then he silenced his hunger and
carried the canvas to the salon. 1t was
admitted.
It's great success insured Lepage
public recognition, and his later work
gained him place among the greatest
Of living artists.

TUCKER FOUND GUILTY.
Murderer of Mabel Page Collapsed
When Verdict Was Brought In.

When Verdict Was Brought In.
Cambridge, Mass, Jan. 25.-Guilty
OF murder in the first degree was the
verdict returned last night against
Charles l.. Tucker of Auburndale, who
has been on trial since Jan. for stab
bling Miss Mabel Page to death in heI
fathers home at Weston on the 31st
Of last March. Death in the electric
chair in the state prison at Charles
town is the penalty.
The announcement of the finding OF
the jury was made at 1910 o'clock
Tucker collapsed utterly when the
foreman read the verdict.
The murder of Miss Mabel Page a,
Weston, Mass, on March 81, 1904, at
tracted wide attention because of the
mystifying circumstances surrounding
the case. Miss Page, who was Al
years of age, was stabbed to death In
her home. At first it was reported
that she lad killed herself, but the
wounds failed to bear out this theory
Tucker was seen near the Page home
about the time of Miss Pages death
and was arrested and examined. He
explained lis movements and was dis.
charged, only to be re-arrested and
formally charged with the murder.

BIRTHDAYS IN JAPAN.
All the Girls Celebrate In February,
All the Boys In May

All the Girls Celebrate In February,
All the Boys In May.
The Japanese have queer way of
celebrating birthdays. Instead of q
party in June for little Tama and q
party in September for little O'Tatsu
and party in December for little
Ume there's a party in February in
honor of all the little girls and one In
May for all little boys. In February
every little girl receives from all her
grownup relatives and friends gifts of
dolls, and besides these dolls hei" moth
er takes out of the closet many of the
dolls she had when she was child
and some even older dolls that the lit
tie girls grandmother had when she
was q little tot, and l dare say there
are dolls that belonged to the little
girls great-grandmother and even her
great-great-g grandmother, quaint dolls
in faded clothes of a hundred years
and more ago, carefully handed down
from mother to daughter ever since. I
saw one old doll, about six inches TALL
dressed as daimio, or great lord of
bygone times, in gorgeous brocade
robes, covered with steel armor- of lit
tie overlapping plates, just as beauti-
fully made as If for q real warrior. He
wore q tiny helmet and carried two
tiny swords not as large as matches.
You could draw the swords out of their
scabbards just like real ones, and they
were as sharp as they could be. Well,
for about q week all Japan is one
grand dolls tea party. And then the
festival Is over, and all the best dolls,
even the presents to the little girl, are
put carefully away, never to be even
looked at for a whole year. 1 don't see
how the little Japanese girls can bear
that part of it.
Then at the list of May comes the
boys festival-the fish festival, it is
called. Every family that's lucky
enough to have a boy puts up flag
pole in the dooryard, or perhaps sew
eral families combine to use the same
pole and have it bigger, handsomer
one than one family could afford. On
the. top of the pole is a gilt ball or else
q basket with something bright and
tinselly in it. And flying from the pole
in the brisk spring winds is a whole
string of carp made of oiled paper or
cloth, painted in bright colors and any
where from five to fifteen feet long.
Each fish belongs to some particular
boy, and the carp is chosen because 1t
is a big. strong fish and not only can
swim against the most rapid currents,
but in its eagerness to get upstream
will leap straight up waterfalls. The
gold ball means treasure, which the
carp lcaping and struggling, buffeted
by the wind, is forever trying to reach.
And the whole thing means that the
boy when he's man will have to bat
tie his way as the sturdy carp strug-
giles up the river. The fishes look so
very pretty and gay, flying over his
house, and the boy gets so many treats
at fish festival time that don't think
he minds even If the carp is nice lit
tie jolly lecture on ambition.-St. Mich

EImerc Hardy Shot Down Wife as She
Greeted Him With Smile.
TERRIBLE TRAGEDY, IN MARION
Sequel of Marriage of Dancing Master
to Daughter of Prominent Business
Man-Life Did Not Run Smooth and
They Had Parted.

Marion, Mich. Jan. 24.-With a
smile on her face and their two young
children clinging playfully to her
skirts, Mrs. Mary Hardy was fatally
shot by her husband, Elmer Z. Hardy
in the home of her father Monday at
ternoon.
Hardy emptied the contents of 32-
caliber revolver at his wife, but only
two shots took effect. One of these
struck her just above the heart and
the other penetrated her right lung.
Her death is momentarily expected.
The tragedy is the sequel of the ro'
mantle marriage of Hardy, we'll
known dancing master, to Miss Mary
Hall, the daughter of William M. Hall,
a leading business man of this place.
which took place six years ago.
Returns to Her Father.
After living here a short time the
pair moved to Washington state.
where Hardy secured a railroad posi-
however, and after the birth of two
children Mrs. Hardy found her way
last summer back to the home of her
father.
Hardy appeared on the scene last
week, but made no effort to see his
wife until Monday noon, when he
knocked at the door of the home of mis-
wife's father. He was admitted and
stepping into the sitting room asked
to see his wife.
Fires Five Times.
Mrs. Hardy came into the room with
her two little children clinging to her
skirts. With smile she stepped up
to greet her husband.
AS she did so Hardy pulled his re-
volver from his pocket and fired point
blank five times at the woman. She
did not fall until the last shot had
been fired, when she sank unconscious
to the floor.
The two children ran screaming
from the room and Hardy coolly pu:
the revolver back in his pocket and
walked out Of the house. Physicians
who were summoned pronounced Mrs.
Hardy's case hopeless. Hardy was
placed under arrest as soon as he ar
rived downtown and is now confined in
the county Jail.
