To the people who believe with
Shakespeare that 'all the Worla's

merely players" there Is nothing or
greater fascination than an old house.
Here have been enacted the most
charming comedies and the most pit
iful tragedies, and ofttimes, as in the
case of real actors, breaking hearts
have been covered by smiles and mirth
while bright, laughing eyes have ached
with unshed tears.
One of the most interesting of the
try is the brave old Jumel house which
stands on Washington Heights, in New
York, and is known as one Of the few
remaining vestiges Of the old-time
architectural splendor of that city. 1t

Frank Steunenberg, Ex-Governor OF

manner at his home in Boise. AS he
was entering the gate at his home,
which is in a section not thickly set
fled. there was a terrific explosion and
a fash Of light and the Ex-Governor
was hurled thirty feet through the air.
He died when picked up. The perpe-
traitors, who had attached the deadly
dynamite bomb to the gate in such
manner that there would be an explo-
sion when the gate was opened, must
have watched the house closely and
followed the movements OF the ex-
Governor carefully, to avoid a mis-
take in the identity Of the victim. 1t
is suspected that persons connected
with the Cour de'Alene riots, which
Steunenberg suppressed, are response
BILE for the outrage.
Ex-Governor Steunenberg was one
of the most picturesque figures OF his
State. A native Of Iowa, he was new
ertheless typical of the far West, a
rough, hearty man Of the plains and
the hills. He was never east of the

DIET OF VEGETABLES.
knowledge of Food Values Neces-

For the cook who wishes to substi-
tute vegetables for meat, a knowledge
of food values is imperative, says Har-
per's Bazaar. Some vegetables are per-
feet substitutes for meat. You might
grow strong and vigorous on them,
while If you made wrong choice
your family would slowly starye to
death. All the grains, such as whole
wheat, rice, barley, oats, corn, are per
feet substitutes for meat. They have
the same nutritive value without the
wastes of animal flesh. Nuts, cheese,
peas, beans, lentils, raisins, figs, ba-
nanas, are meat foods. Tomatoes,
onions, celery, asparagus, carrots,
beets, spinach, apples, are valuable
and important articles OF diet, but If
you attempted to make them the basis
of your dietary your family would
either starve or strike. Many vege-
tables have medicinal value which, if
more widely understood, would dimin-
ish the need for drugs and the DOCTOR
Raisins, grapes, asparagus, spinach,
lentils, carrots, contain considerable

nervous people. They may be served
in a variety Of ways, together or sep

foods. With the addition of milk and
butter they become nutritious. Car

celery or onions and beets. Eggs take
the place of meat always. Two eggs
