deep green and covered with yellow and white cushions stood across one end. while a little folding toilet stand of the same wood occupied the other end of the small room.
 This stand looked like table with drawers when closed. Its top disap- peared (holding the toilet articles) just on the same principle as the new table sewing machines. These stands are quite inexpensive. One comforta ble chair completed the furnishing of this tiny room. which gave the appearance of small cheerful sitting room instead of what 1t really was originaliy--a dingy bedroom.
 It is wonderful how far a little taste goes when it Is possessed by the mis- tress of the house. tt

"EBnN ft Just perJectP Siuc"ohs anu sweet noisy elevated trains and muddy streets! How I love you! I'll never. never leave you again so long as live! Oh, Isn't 1t just perfect to look Into shop window once more and see nice woolly hats and furs? And look at the electric signs outside the theatres! And just see the crowds of people! The smell of paint is fin the air. and it means ambitious and fresh new things and general lease of life, and tothink that a week ago I was yawning my head off in that miserable hole of a hotel, and 1t was raining outside, and I nearly died from the dampness. and there wasn't a single man in the place. Why, four called on me today! I'm going to the theater tonight, and I've ordered two new gowns and a set of furs. Oh, just look at that love of a hat in the window. I must run in and see how much it Is! Thank you. no more country for mine!

An Interesting Case,

In the chancery court today, Chan cellor Benners heard the arguments of counsel in the case of the Birmingham Machine and Foundry Company against Charles Murray ct al. The cause is a motion to dissolve temporary in- junction which prohibits the respon- dent no other than the local machinists' union, from in any manner having communication with employees of the complainant. Chancellor Benners him self refused some time ago to even grant a temporary injunction. Then the complainant appeared before the supreme court of the state. and an or der was secured directing the local register in chancery, J. w. Altman, to issue injunction papers.
 The case is being watched closely by the interested parties, together with corporation interests and the laboring interests. The cause is unique inas- much as the Chancellor who refused to allow an injunction is sitting in the case when the motion to dissolve is being argued. It is thought that he will take the cause under advisement.

The Yorua ne Rn.s

And speaking of pink. This is going to be giddy season. You know that at Newport this past summer the most vivid rose tones were all the rage-even for morning wear. We'll, this fad will continue this winter. All the rose shades will be seen in cloth gowns and in millinery, as we'll as in the love- Hest velvets we have ever had imported for midwinter wear.
 Red is passe-instead we have deep tones of rose, which are practical and ever 50 much more becoming than the loud scarlet shades we have been accus- toned to associate in our minds with cold weather.
 So can assure you that you are making no mistake in choosing rose or old rose cloth for your best gown.

 A runaway horse which took to the sidewalk on the east side of Broad street shortly after 12 o'clock today caused a great deal of excitement TOT a short while and the remarkable run that the horse made was the cause or comment. The horse WAS finally caught in front or Jud Brisiin on water street, where he ran into Mir. Brislin's buggy, which was hitcneo in front of his store.
 The horse was one of the blooded animals of J. B. Ellis ana with its har- ness on ran away in West Selma Coming down Dallas street it took to the east side of Broad and in front or the Hotel Albert got on the sidewalk and continued down the sidewalk for five blocks, until Water street was reached, when the horse turned down that street and ran into the buggy Of Jud Brislin.
 Broad street from the Hotel Albert to Water street is the heart of the re- tail district of the city and at that hour of the day the sidewalk was crowded with pedestrians, many of them women and children. The horse coming at full speed caused a general scattering of these pedestrians, who made q break for the most convenient store so that they could get out of the way. With a singletree dangling at its feet the horse made the run from the Hotel Albert to Water street with out touching any of the many displays that were out in front of the stores.
 As the people on the sidewalk saw the horse coming they got out Of the way with one exception, and that ex- ceptfon was a little negro boy about 8 years old, who was standing near the Dixie restaurant, between Selma and Alabama streets. The boy was not used to being in town and was looking in the opposite direction from which the horse was coming and paid no att tenton to calls for him to get out ot the way.
 As the horse was about to pass him he got in front of it and was knocked down and run over by the frightened animal. The boy was pIcked up and carried to the office of Dr. Keenan, where his injuries were dressed. The most painful wound that he received was on the forehead. just over the eve. but while the wound is painful 1t will not prove serious. The boy, whose name is Jim Moseley, also received sev" eral additional scratches.
 Another negro boy, whose name could not be learned, is said to have been knocked down at the same time by the horse, but as soon as he got up he ran or and probably was not hurt, The horse, after snagging his breast upon the shafts of Mir. Brislln's buggy, was easily caught and taken to the stable. where a veterinary surgeon dressed it's wound. The horse is very valuable one and in it's wild race down the sidewalk through the crowded re- tail district it s a wonder that several people were not injured.

To Paint Mall Roxen.

The rural mall carriers out of the city have received notice from the Postoffice Department at Washington to the effect that all rural mall boxes must be given a coat of paint within the next few weeks. This will give them the opportunity of making some extra money by taking the contract to paint the boxes on their routes. The regular carrier will be allowed to put substitute on his route when he starts forth on his mission to paint the boxes in which he delivers the rural mall, or if he sees fit he may stop on his way at a box or two each day and paint 1t, and so on until all of them have been painted.
 The order from the department states that all of the boxes must be painted a bright green. They must be painted this color whether the ones who bought and erected them want that color or not.

 The flames are thought to have origi- mated in the kitchen flue, but luckily they were discovered before they were under good headway or the house might have been burned to the ground. The loss will be very light.
