H DINING o
It 10 Generally the Neglected Apart
ment of the House.

h dining room generally is the ne
elected oom so far as furnishings are
considered. AS a place to go into at
meal times 1t is provided with a table
and chairs, a %sideboard and china
closet. The windows are %curtained,
the floor is laid with a rug or carpet,
the wall is papered, and pictures are
hung, then the room is thought to be
finished. What are the possibilities
for making this part Of the house
interesting? If we begin when the
plans of the different rooms are drawn
up by the architect we should put in
a plea for placing the dining room in
a position where it will get the best
morning light, the full sunshine Of
day hours, and the lingering CLEANS
of sunset. This mean an exposure Of
east, south and west; but If this happy
combination is impossible to reach,
h one of the three may be the SUBJ
stitute. If only a north light, how
ever, is available for the dining room
especial care must be given to the
coloring to make up for its cold out
look.
One point that should be thought
of in making a new dining room is its
shape. Long, straight lines or those
exactly square are almost sure to
create an uninteresting interior unless
helped OF by built in furniture or
artistic woodwork. Color effect makes
the quickest appeal to our interest In
any room, and particularly in the
dining room. When furniture is to
he bought for the dining room the
plain oak-called massive-styles in
The various light or dark stains Will
be found to give character than
the ordinary golden or antique oak,
and tables without carved work, rush
seated chairs, and china closets with
latticed panes will make a more
artistic room than the ornate patterns
and snowy effects hat cost the same
amount of money.
The lighting of the dining room can
be made a pleasing feature. or, on the
contrary, a most distressing one. The
rival of a famous beauty, so the story
goes, in her endeavor to show the
latter at a disadvantage, invited her
to a magnificent dinner party, and
then placed her near some bright
green candle shades. To sit facing a
glare of sunlight will spoil the most
enjoyable meal, and a table poorly
lighted will bring equal discomfort.
Just the right amount of light can be
arranged after a little experimenting
with curtains, gas. or electric shades,
and all windows should have practical
means for shifting the curtains dur
ing the day, according to the need for
more or less light.

THE WALL OF LUCAS.

About every other week the editor
Of the Buffalo Bulletin relieves himself
of a couple OF columns relating to he
University OF Wyoming. His particu-
lar hobby is hat the educational in
stitution known as the University Of
Wyoming should not spend moneys ap'
propriated by the United States for ag
ricultural college purposes without
warrant of law. From all his long-wind-
ed editorials this appears to be his con
clusion, and he keeps pounding away.
not seeming to realize that nobody is
giving him any particular attention. 1t
has probably escaped his notice that
the expenditure of the funds is annu'
ally passed upon by auditing officers OF
the United States government and that
not one cent has been misappropriated
during the past five years. At one
time some ten years ago. there was a
misconception of the law in a certain
particular and a small amount of
money was expended for a purpose
which the government officers believed
the state liable and the state made
it good.
From all The Republican has ever
been able to learn of Mr.. Lucas griey'
ance, 1t appears that he at n time
was engaged in n college fight down In
Iowa. In that row he picked up con
siderable information as to how he
might make another fight and he is
airing that information over in John
son county. 1t is not at all probable
that a half dozen people know or care
what he is talking about-indeed, there
is some doubt IL he does himself-but
the stuff is not tightly bottled and
will doubtless keep on sizzling till the
old man passes hence.
The Rawlins Republican is of the
opinion that it would do the Bulletin
editor some good to get in touch with
the other people of the state, and gives
him the following choice bit of advice:
The Buffalo Bulletin Is having a
strenuous time all by itself over the
university matter. Evidently 1t mag
ines it is driving some telling blows at
the management, the investigating
committee and everything connected
with the institution. The poor cuss
ought to get out and mingle with the
world a little. Go over to Cody or
Sheridan, any place, just so his ideas
have a chance to expand a little and
find out that he has not come within a
mile Of the mark yet"

When all the critics have been heard
the fact remains that President Roose'
welt stands forth, like a giant peak in
the horizon, the nos potent force for

 On Wednesday. October g. at 3 O. clock D. m., Oscar NJ. Spellman and Miss Sallie Elizabeth Williams were made Two hearts that beat as one in the little church around the cor ner" at Swan Lake, Ark The church was one mass of evergreens, holly and magnolias gathered by the brides host of friends from the yard of her birthplace and used as the decora- tiOns. Just before the bridal party entered the church Mrs. Jesse R. Core sang in her sweet and wonderful way My Dear,' which was followed by
 Mendelsohn.s wedding march, ren- dered by Mrs. Floyd A. Jarvis. The first to enter the church was Miss Alice Murdaugh of Little Rock, Ark. ;, cousin of the bride, followed by Miss Maude Williams of Memphis, Tenn, another cousin of the bride. Next came the maid of honor, Miss Emma Spellman, cousin of the groom, fol- lowed by the bride on the arm of her father Robert Henry Williams. The best man was Wright Boswell, who came in with the groom from the chancel door and met the bride at the altar, where she was given away by her father. Carl Spellman and Hugh Wilbourn were the groomsmen The ring ceremony was said by Reverend Ramsey of the First Methodist church of Pine Bluff, who, at the close of the ceremony, in pronouncing them man and wife instead simply said to the groom, Now, sir, she belongs to you Messrs. Virginius Murdaugh, Dick Jackman and Dr. Thorne were the ushers.
 After the weddins all the guests were invited to join the bridal party in a reception and dance, rendered the bride and groom by Mir. and Mrs. Oscar M. Spellman and Miss Spell man. The house was beautifully dec orated in green and white, the color scheme of the wedding. When the guests arrived they were received by the bridal party, standing in the hall. \ string band furnished music for the dancing, which was continued til 1 a. m At 12::30 a magnificent eight course luncheon was served the guests. such as only the Spellmans can serve. Cut glass of every kind was in evidence among the many handsome presents received by the bride and groom.
