When Mr.. Olson was called to the

his giving testimony on any phaze of
the case excepting that actually relat-

by Governor Mead
Object to Testimony.
They contended that it made no diff
ference what Spencer did, if he did not
violate the actual terms of the pardon
he could not be held to answer for any
other acts. In Overruling the objection
Judge Brents gave a hint of the prob
able outcome of the case by stating
that in his opinion the governor could
attach any conditions to a pardon, and
if he saw fit to revoke the pardon it
was within his power. He said there
were numerous decisions to that eff
feet. Spencer's attorneys filed excep-
tons to the ruling and to all the testi-
mony introduced excepting that bear
ing on the actual conditions of the par
don. Mr. Olson. being allowed to con-
tinue, said that Spencer had been en-
ployed in his restaurant for about
three months: that he was a good

Renovating Furniture.

Women themselves can do much to-
ward repairing furniture that gets out
of order. 1t is easy enough to put a
screw in or fasten on with a little glue
the arm of a rocker. Unless a woman
is unusually strong and skillful In the
use of tools it Is best, however, to send
upholstered furniture to a shop to be re-
paired. But good housekeepers are now
fast discarding the heavy, stuffed, In
sanitary furniture of their grandmoth-
ers and replacing 1t with articles that
are light In weight and 80 little ex-
pensive that they can be thrown away
when worn out.
Every woman car paint her
chairs and tables. Soiled willow chairs
can be painted white. green o red and
enameled. Nothing makes a porch look
more inviting than n large chair of some
cheerful color. When a porch chair be-
comes weather beaten some coats of
paint and enameling Will make 1t and
the atmosphere thereabout bright and
attractive.

Curtains and Draperies.

Most houses contain far too much
c%urtalning and draping for either SAN
itation or true artistic effect. A house
is primarily something for use, the or
namentation being a secondary con-
sideration. For the ordinary country
home In summer dark green shades to
keep out the sun glare, with thin, i'm
maculately clean half curtains for the
living rooms and kitchen, are the most
suitable and to a right thinking mind
the prettiest as well. Fol bedrooms
and for q kitchen nothing can be more
inviting than sash curtains of Powered
muslin. There is an atmosphere par
ticularly taking about thin curtains
with pink roses and carnations print
ed over them. Such draperies would
themselves drive away the dumps, par
ticularly If everything else in the
house were shining clean and well

Los Angeles Is a beautiful city and
the country around here is the most
beautiful / ever laid my eyes upon.
Fruits of every variety and kind that
is grown upon the earth is grown here.
And to think only a very few years
ago this was a almost barren waste
with only sage bush and cactus growing
upon 1t, but through irrigation this has
been made the most fertile valley in
the world. To my many friends In
Wildwood l wish to ssy that a trip
across the United States from the At
lantic to the Pacific is certainly worth
every CEN it costs even If a person only
stays a little while. 1t opens our eyes
to a fuller realization of the v%astness of
this great country in which we live,
and in a way hat we a only appreci-
ate through the sense of seeing, as
there are no words sufficient for a true
explanation. We left Philadelphia
via the Southern Pacific Sunset Route
on Friday, Sept. 9TH, travelling through
Baltimore and Washington, then
through the cotton and rice fields of
North and South Carolina to Atlanta,
Ga, then through the swamp and
meadow-lands along the GulfofM Mexico,
through Mississippi and Louisiana to
the city of New Orleans, then across
the cane fields of Texas to the city of
San Antonio, then through the moun-
tains and plains of Texas and along
the Rio Grande river to the city of Ell
Paso, Texas, then through the noun
tains and deserts of New Mexico and
Arizona arriving in Los Angeles, Cal,
