Cheer Up.

The weather for the past few days
has certainly been most delightful
just of the sort that should cheer ur
and gladden. the hearts of all man.
kind. There may be hindrances to
the full enjoyment of the charming
weather. Stocks may not be in
creasing in value as rapidly as you
had hoped for; progress in the mat
ter of constructing the East Fifth
Sewer may seem unnecessarily slow,
and trade may be discouraging, but
cheer up and look pleasant. What's S
the use to worry? Think of it. A
few short years shall pass and you'll
be sleeping under where the green
grass is waving and the gentle
zephyrs will blow above you, and
the little birds will trill their notes
down by the brooklet's side, and
the old world will move on Just the
same. Cheer up.

brought by A. d. Bosger, mer-

secured five hits off of McCloud, who
pitched for Bloom but he gave eight
passes to first base which together
with nine errors in the field, netted
Milton twelve runs.

Chicago Talks of a Corn Carnival

But 1t Is not merely the fact that busin ess

DECORATIONS FOR THE
CHRISTMAS FESTIVAL

Some halls with their quaint f1replaces in
which that deligitfui part of Christmas,
the YnIe log. burns and crackles. tightening
up and Frightening the scene. are things OF
beauty In themselves, but the average hall
of moderate size Is another and very DIFF
ferent proposition and has to be dealt with
accordingly.
Suppose you try bringing a little holiday
spirit into the entrance hall OF your home
this year. The effect will be so pleasing
that am sure you will not begrldge the
small amount OF time expended In its
"flxin'. The space over the beam facing
the hall door may be charmingly treated
in the following manner: Cut a strip of
cardboard the size Of the space you want
to fill and then cut out letters in red cloth
to form the word Welcome" Paste the
letters on the cardboard very carefully,
covering the rest of the cardboard with
cotton batting sprfnkled plentifuliy with
diamond dust. Edge the cardboard with
a narrow garland of holly berries and their
leaves. finishing the corners with bows OF
satin ribbon. On the hall-s<ahle place a
slender vase lightly filled with Christmas
roses and ferns, with a bow of scarlet RIB
bon tied half way up the stem. Should the
staircase windows possess wide lodges they
may be banked with moss edged with
sprays of. holly, with here and there pot
of red tulips placed in the moss.
