THE ARTISTIC WALL.
One of Solid Color Will Always Give
Best Effect.

The dearest, daintiest, most artistic
wall is solid colored wall 1t fur
nishes a perfect background for all
kinds of pictures, it throws them out
in their correct proportions, and does
not detract from their artistic value
The solid colored wall is also much
better as a background for furniture,
and harmonizes much more artistical-
ly with carpets and rugs than any
other method of wall treatment The
less breaking up of color on wall
the more artistic it is.
The most successful form of the
solid colored wall is an alabastined
wall. There is as much difference be-
tween tinted walls, as there is be-
tween shoddy and Atwood gowns. The
shoddy gown holds its color for few
days, while the Atwood keeps its color
to the very last thread, so also in solid
colored walls, there are shoddy walls
and permanently colored walls which
retain their color down to the very

off and is always ready for a fresh
coat. If there is wallpaper on the
wall, soak it off with warm water,
then go over the plaster after you
have removed the paper with warm
water to remove every trace of paste.
Have the wall thoroughly clean for a
clean wall cannot be built on an I'M
clean foundation. If there are any
particles of foreign matter adhering
to the wall scrape them off with
putty knife. Then if there are any
discolorations on the wall, size it with
a material made from cheap varnish,
thinned down with benzine and japan
added for a drier, then cover your
wall with your tinting material
Be sure your man uses a tinting ma
terial mixed with cold water If he
comes to you and asks for warm wa.
ter, you can make up your mind that
there is glue in the material which he
proposes to put on your wall, and you
can be certain that you are going to
have a shoddy wall, for glue means
shoddy. Glue means that it will hold
its color long enough for the man to
collect his bill and not much longer
Insist on your tinting material being
mixed with clear, cold water Be sure
that your wall is made from pure ma
terials, then you will have a perma-
nent, artistic. sanitary wall. A wall
that will be thing of beauty and a
joy forever"

envy is near to the city, and your High
ness might fall into their hands"
'You have heard what | have said!"
Joan tapped the oaken floor with her
foot.
But, madam, let me beseech
you"
Joan turned from her chief captain
impatiently and walked toward the
door of her private apartments. Wer-
ner followed his mistress, with his
hands little outstretched and look
of eager entreaty on his face.

Werner Won Orseln drew himself up
and saluted. Then he wheeled about
and clanked out without adding word
more.
For a moment after the door closed
upon the men, Joan and Margaret
stood in silence regarding each other.
Suddenly Margaret ran impulsively
to Joan, clasping her about the neck
81 know" she said, looking up into
her face.
With a great leap the blood flew to
Joan's neck and brow, then as slowly
faded away, leaving her paler than be-
fore.
"What do you know" she faltered,
and she feared, yet desired to hear.
"That you love Conrad" said Mar
garet, very low. Joan, 1 am so glad
so glad!"
Margaret, am shamed for ever

arms about her friend.
"Joan, you will yet be happy"
The Duchess shook her head
'It were best for us both that |
should die-that is what l pray for"
May heaven avert this thing-you
know not what you say"
And the two women went into the
attiring room with arms still locked
about each others waists. And as
often as their eyes encountered they
fingered a little. as if tasting the new
knowledge which they had in common.
Then those of Joan of the Sword Hand
were averted, and she blushed.
It was night in the city of CORTLAND,
and a time of great fear. Ever and |
anon from the east, where were the
camps of the opposed forces, there |
came a sound, heavy and sonorous, !
like distant thunder Whereat the |
frighted wives of the burghers of |
CORTLAND said, Il wonder what moth

At the western or Brandenburg gate
there was yet greater fear. For the
news had spread athwart the city that

parley by the guard on duty, till the
Lady Joan, Governor of the city, should
be made aware.

The lantern flashed out, and there,
Immediately below her, Joan beheld
Boris and Jorian saluting as of old,
with the simultaneous gesture which
had grown so familiar to her during
the days of Isle Rugen. She was
moved to smile in spite of the sober
ness of the circumstances.
What news bring you, good en-
voys?"

the Palace Guard with us-five hun

THREE BEM|OJI YOUTHS
FIRE THE R0SBY DEPOT
Charles Clark, Edward and John Ber-
rigan Will Be Tried on Serious
Charge.

Edward and John Berrigan and
Charles Clark, three youths of this
city whose ages range from Is to Is
years, were this morning taken to
Park Rapids in the custody ol
Special Agent Britt, of the Great
Northern railway, to be arraigned
before a justice of the peace at that
place on the charge of having com.
mitted a felony-settih fire to the
Great Northern depot at Rosby.
Young Clark and the two Berrigan
boys went to Rosby Tuesday night
and, after getting off the train at
that place, entered the depot, which
is never locked, and staid in the
building all night. Wednesday
morning the boys broke all the win
dows in the depot building and after
hunting about for more mischief to
do, the oldest l}errigan boy, at the
suggestion of Clark, placed some
paper in hole in the wall of the
building, throwing a live coal from
the stove into the papers.
After the boys had seen that the
papers became ignited from the coal,
and that the flames would undoubt-
edly get such headway that they
would destroy the building, they
started up the track on their return
to Bemidji.
Several people at Rosby noticed
the flames coming out of the depot
and by concerted efforts the build
ing was saved from entire destruc-
ton, but not before a considerable
portion of the interior was badly
damaged.
Word was sent to Cass Lake and
Bemidji concerning the fire, ard

through the whole ceremony and
gave evidence, from the first re-
quirement, that he will make a
strong member of the order, although
he baked at one stage of the game.
The other members of the class
passed through the ordeal nicely.
In fact, DR.. Stewart is enthusiastic
over the reception given him; and
this morning the doctor handed in
the following communication con-
cering his first interview with the
male member OF the goat family
that officiates at the Elk meetings:
This degenerate of the sheep
tribe is at once useful and obstinate.
1t is the worst thing you can say
of a person, when you describe him
as being as obstinate as goat,
because there is nothing upon the
earth half SO contrary or mean.
There is nothing more exasperating
to human kind. My friends
invited me to ride a goat last night,

Such was the answer given by
Adjutant General Bert Wood, at St.

a possibility that 1Bemidji could
secure one of the new companies
that will be mustered into the
service.
Continuing, Major Wood said
We want to be certain that
company once stationed in your city
will be permanently sustained. It
costs about $4,000 to equip, arm and

be censured for insisting that this
valuable paraphernalia is properly
taken care of and sufficient interest
manifested to insure the permancy
of the organization.

INJURY
Russell Oldham Opens Fire On
Unknown Man Who InSuIted
His Wife, All Shots Went
AStray,

The shooting IN South Second street
late Wednesday night. which resulted
In a call for the police, prove to have
been a somewhat more serious affair
than was at first supposed, although
no one was injured.
When Mrs. Russell Oldham stepped
onto the front porch of her home at
1101 South second street. about half
past 10 o'clock she was startled by a
mar who ran up the steps and grab
bed her by the arm. Mrs. Oldham
says the man made a motion as
though to pull her from The porch.
she screamed and ran back into the
house. Her husband. who is a carpen-
ter, employed by Contractor Wallace
H~esselden. heard the scream, and.
catching up his revolver, ran to the
front door. Seeing the nan standing
at the steps. he raised the weapon,
and as the man started to run fired
three times. none of the shots taking
effect. although IL is said that he cried
out as he ran AS If one of the bullets
might have gone home. If he was in
1ured h wound could not have been
serious. as up TO last night the police
had found no trace Of an injured man.
Mrs. Oldham, who is a bride of but a
few months. was badly frightened by
the experience. She says she did not
see the man very clearly. and doubts If
she could identify him.
