A FINE LINEN CLOSET.
No Treasure of House More Highly
Valued-Good Economy to Buy
Good Linens.

} To be the possessor of a well-flled
every new housekeeper. In cities
where dealers make it a point not to
carry stock over from one season to
another, the special sales are the best
opportunities of replenishing the home
supply.
Sheets and pillow cases are still
called bed linen, though they are usu-
ally made of cotton. Housewives who
are too busy to do any unnecessary
sewing can buy these articles already
made. The sheets should be long
enough to tuck under the mattress
several inches at each end, and the
pillow cases loose enough to slip on
and off easily. Pillow case tubing
may be had in several widths, and is
the incest material for that purpose.
Lace edging is a pretty finish for
them. or if you have plenty of time,
the hens may be hemstitched. Have
plenty of towels of good size. The
most servioeable variety is the huck
towel, supplemented with Turkish
towels for the bathroom, and damask
for the bedrooms.
There is a wide field for the exer-
linen. AS it must be washed fire.
quently, the first requisite is durabil-
ity. Very fine threads break easily,
and are not suited TO hard wear. I'm
bleached linen is cheaper and wears
better than bleached of the same
quality, and it will bleach out beau
tifully If washed and boiled a few
times in the -suds made of some re-
liable washing powder and soft water.
Rinse well and let them dry in the sun
shine. Napkins that are plainly
hemmed or hemstitched are preferable
to fringed ones that are apt to leave lint
on black clothing when they are used.
1t is economy to buy a good article.
Cheap linen does not look as well nor
wear as long as a better grade. Save
the Rawlings when making up new linen
to use darning the old, and if neatly
done the work will show very little.
While pure white is very popular for
wives like the touch of brightness which
the embroidery done with colored silks
gives these pieces and they show the

All evergreens suffer in winter from
warm weather and drying winds
which cause their leaves to evaporate
moisture faster than it can be supplied
by the roots, which may be in frozen
ground. The yellow color of ever
greens in winter is usually sign OF
distress, and bronzing is sign of i'm
perfect hardness or of willingness &c
drop the leaves for while in order
to withstand the winter. The bes'
way to protect rare and costly ever
greens is to plant them behind q
windbreak or amid a group of other
trees. The prevailing winter wind is
usually from the northwest. All conf
fers, whether hardy or not, are glad

CHOOSING OUR OWN TROUBLES
Writer Looks at Chronic eothers in a
New Way.

We are apt TO quarrel with our
troubles under the mistaken idea that
they have been set upon us and not
realizing that we have all along un.
consciously been appropriating Them
to ourselves. Every one has a choice
of troubles, and It depends largely
upon himself as to the cres he shall
select. This being so, let us take
thought of tomorrow. that we may
suffer as we choose and blindly.
There is set of MARI d troubles,
and one for bachelors only. Which
will You have? Yours is The choice.
A baby Is great Trouble Is II
well to have him? Is it wise to take
him on, or will some other trouble
equally formidable be better for us in
the long run?
Any amount of trouble may be
caused by too much money Shall we
run the risk or not?
A kiss has often caused no end of
trouble. And it is likely to lead to
others.
Let us have patience and take time
to make our selection. The worst Of
it is that by the time we have learned
the standing Of various troubles, their
nature and ways, It is too late to
change. And we cannot begin all
over again. SO that in the end we
may be saddled with troubles that we
would Willingly exchange for others
if we had only known about them
earlier-Tom Mason in Puck.

FORFEIT SCHMIDTS BOND.
Walla Walla Periurer Pays His Fine
Into Federal Court,

A judgment for $2500, represent
ing the bond forfeited by John Adam
Schmidt. familiarly known as the
Gear of Little St. Petersburg" under
an indictment charging him with SUBJ
ornation of perjury, was entered
against the Asa Legrow estate in IA
vor of the United States government
in the federal court this morning,
says the Walla Walla Union. The
government was represented by Dis
trict Attorney Avery while the Legrow
estate was looked after by Lester S.
Wilson.
This is probably the final act in the
most sensational case that ever was
tried in the courts in Walla walla.
1t will be remembered that in 1903 a
number of Russians residing in the
little colony in the southern portion
of Walla Walla We're induced by
Schmidt to take out naturalization
papers and register in order that they
could vote at the election held in No
vember of that year.
Politics was at fever heat those
days, and office seekers were very
active in getting every voter in the
county to be ready to cast his ballot
on election day. Believing that
Schmidt was taking too much inter-
est in the campaign an investigation
was instituted, which resulted in
Schmidt being arrested and charged
with perjury, 1t being alleged he had
sworn that all of the Russians had re-
sided in the United States the re-
quired length of time to entitle them
to become citizens.
He was indicted by federal grand
jury, placed on trial and found guilty
of the charge. He was sentenced to
six years Imprisonment and pay a
fine of $1,000.
An appeal was taken to the circuit
court of appeals and pending a de-
cision Schmidt was released on a bond
of $4,000 furnished by Duncan Nc
Gillivray and George H. Barber. Af-
ter a delay of nearly year the circuit
court affirmed the decision of the
lower court, and simultaneously with
the receipt of the news of the decis-
ion Schmidt disappeared.
About six months ago the bond of
$4,000 was declared forfeited and the
bondsmen paid the money into the
court.
