THE HOME BEAUTIFUL.

There is every reason why the
farmer and his wife of today should
take exactly as much pride in making
their homes beautiful and attractive
as the family living in the city. A
beautiful home is a refining influence
in home life, and the appearances of
the homes of prosperous farmers are
pretty good indications of their own
ers' characters and dispositions. Every
farmer and his wife should make it
a point to keep the interiors of their
homes looking as neat and attractive
as though they were living in the city
where they might be called upon to
entertain their friends oftener. 1t will
make their existence more pleasant
and will serve to give them hobby
which will make many pleasant hour
for them during the times of leisure.
Besides, it should be a matter of pride
with them. Home is home, whether
in the country or the city, and the
happier and pleaSanter we make that
home, the more we are getting out
of life.
There is nothing which adds so
much to the interior appearance of a
nice farm home as we'll selected wall
paper. 1t gives each room tone
which nothing else can lend to it, and
will change the effect of the plainest
house into that of a pretty and at
tractive one. We believe that the
average farm wife appreciates this
fact, and for that reason will be inter-
ested in the booklet which is to be
issued by the Federal Paint & Wall
Paper Co., of Seattle. This book will
he ful1 of clever and bright suggestions
as to the combinations of colorings
which lend the greatest comfort and
attractiveness to each different room
in the house. 1t will be full of many
other suggestions which the farm wife
will be interested in, and we believe
that every woman who prides herself
in her own home should send for a
copy of it.
The Federal Paint & Wall Paper
Co. is the best known wall paper con-
Germ in Seattle and one of the largest
on the coast. The company is COM
posed of practical wall paper men who

They have recently occupied new
quarters at 1914 First avenue, where
they have one of the finest stocks of
wall paper in the west. The company
has always been known for fair deal
ing and intelligent business methods,

BITES OFFICER WHO SEEKS TO
DEFEND 1T
Constable with Warrant for Shooters
Arrest Learns Something of
the Stern Realities of
Life

That John Waterstreet, who was ar
rested early yesterday morning by
Deputy Constable Philip Avila, will not
be prosecuted on the charge of having
killed little yellow --g belonging to
Mary File, is most robable since yes
terday following the arrest it was
learned that the dog was not dead. And,
incidentally, Officer Avila will be wit
ness in Watersheds behalf if the case
comes to trial.
To have to arrest man for killing a
dog when the dog was alive was hard
enough upon the officer, but it was add
ing insult to injury when the little
yellow purp came up and gave a severe
bite to the basement of the arresting
officers garments.
Avila is deputy under Constable
Cohn and yesterday morning he started
for Florence road Tearing a warrant
for the arrest of Waterstreet, who is a
carpenter. When he reached the home
of Mary File, the owner of the dog, he
learned that either the dog or his ghost
had been seen in the neighborhood a

FINE FlREMEN BUT
EXEMPT CIVILIANS

Fire commissioners yesterday fined
several members of the department for
gambling, as predicted last week, and
Commissioner Schwamm made an ef-
fort to cause police prosecution of Ter
rell and Worrell, civilians, who held
cards in the game ALSO. Mr.. Schwamm
felt that all concerned were guilty and
he wanted all punished.
All of the firemen implicated made
manly statements of the eircum-
stances and were let off lightly with
mere fines.
Hearing of the charges against Lieut..
L. H. Davis of Engine company No. 1
of gambling in company quarters, con-
tinued from last week, was first taken
up. Then Engineer Walter Jean,
Hosemen Ed c. Becker, w. b. Barr and
Fred julius appeared and pleaded
guilty. The following fines We're inn
posed: Lieut.. Davis, S25; Engineer
Jean. $40; Hosemen Becker, Bar and
julius, $40 each. Commissioner Kolff
was the only member voting no. 1t
was explained that Becker escaped
severer punishment because OF pre-
vious good service.

WOMEN PLEAD
WITH HARPER
ASK MAYOR TO SIGN LIQUOR
ZONE ORDINANCE
Promises Christian Temperance Union
That Third Street Tunnel WhoIe-
sale Store Cannot Do
Business

Delegations of members of the Wom-
ems Christian Temperance union and of
the Friends church who called upon
Mayor Harper yesterday received his
assurance that the Botiller wholesale
liquor store on West Third street, Just
beyond the tunnel entrance, could not
do business during his administration.
In order to undo the work of the po-
lice board in granting this license the
city council took action which legis-
lated all wholesale liquor stores into
the breastworks.
Through clever work in connection
with the Botiller application the papers
in the case received no advance pub
licity, the papers being withheld from
the press, and there was no one on
hand to protest.
Mayor Harper has, however needed
the cry of Crown hills and the property
owners and squelched the work before
it has gone too far.
One delegation of women who came
to ask that the liquor zone ordinance
be signed yesterday presented the fol-
lowing resolution to the chief executives:
ITO the Mayor of Los Angeles City:
THE Los Angeles Woman'S Christian
Temperance union, representing 1000
members highly appreciate your posi-
tion as mayor of this great and growing
city, pledge to you our hearty support.
and we hereby commend the action of
the city council in the passage of the
ordinance limiting the area of the
wholesale liquor houses, and respect
fully ask that you sign the same.

MUSIC AND DRAMA
"camiIIe" ExceIIentIy Done

Despite an auto smashup which
cracked Dick Ferris ribs and shocked
Florence Stone the Ferris company
gave in the Auditorium yesterday aft
ernoon a matinee performance of "Ca-
mile" which by general consent was
deemed the best yet seen here. And it
was done with pickup cast and
without single rehearsal. Consider
ing all the drawbacks it was little
short of wonderful. An immense au-
dience saw it and wept copiously.
Miss Stone of course was the fair
but frail lady of the camelias, and she
has not done SO fine a piece of acting
since she came here, though not once
has she been aught but good. Her
Interpretation of the Dumas heroine
was superb, especially the pathetic
scenes, which she played with Won
derfully moving and soul-satisfying
skill. Her costuming of the part was
splendid and her every portrayal of
emotion was all that could be desired.
Miss Stone has given some wonderful
depictions here, but her Camille will
be remembered when all the rest are
forgotten.
Dick Ferris as Armand was fine; he
suffered tortures all afternoon and at
times was somewhat uncertain in his
lines, but he found great favor with
his audience, which stopped the play
for fully three minutes tumultuous ap-
plause when he first appeared, and
lavished curtain calls till he had to
make speech after the fourth act.
Harry Won Meter was delightful as
CASTOR, handling the part in his ac-
customed artistic fashion. Avis Lob
dell was especially clever as Nanine,
and Louise Royce as Prudence, Elean-
or Browning as Oylmpe and Virginia
Berry as Nichette gave good interpre-
tations. Richardson Cotton was ex-
cellent as De Varville. George Webb
was good as Gustave and c. H. Elder
was fine as Duval, except that he
played it in the old-fashioned way
instead of according to modern ideas,
as did all the rest. This rather put
him out of touch with the others, and
while he was correct in his portrayal,
according to the traditions, it would
have been better had he, too, brought
the part up to date. IT was costumed
and set in the present and not in the
period written.
AS stated, the audience took huge if
lachrymose delight in the weepy drama
and it's stilted sentences and artificial
grief filled the hearers with anguish.
Few of the hundreds of women were
dry-eyed and many of the few men
sniffled and snorted audibly. The mat
inee will be repeated Friday next.
The Ferris company has now brought
Fedora" up to a high standard and
Miss Stone especially is giving in the
name part one of her very best inter-
pretations since she came here. The
others i'm the cast. especially Andrew
Robson, have acquired confidence and
familiarity since the opening night and
their work is far better and more sat-
isfactory in every way. thus making
Fedora" now finished performance.

NICE LITTLE DOG REPORTED DEAD
PROVES FALSITY OF ASSERTION

few minutes before. The girl, IA years
of age, had sworn positively that she
had seen Watersteet shoot her little
yellow dog and the officer proceeded to
Watersheds home and arrested him.
The carpenter said that a few days
before the yellow dog had been annoy
ing him and he had fired a shot at it
whereupon the dog had disappeared.
The neighbors gave the dog a bad repu-
tation for truth, honesty and integrity
in the community in which 1t lived and
1T was with many qualms of conscience
that Avila took his captive owed to the
File farmhouse to have him identified
as the slayer of the yellow dog.
There were quite a number of the viii
layers about as Mary Lille stepped for
ward and identified Waterstreet and
there were a few more villagers there
when little Mary indulged herself in
beautiful description of the gentleness
and goodness of her late little dog.
So interested were all present that
they did not notice the figure of the re-
turning dog sneak through the crowd
The dog connected with the basement
of the officers garments and the officer
let out yell.
From the heavy toe of the officers
boot the dog bounded off, hit the road
way with a yelp, took to the timbers
and the prisoner grinned.
The dog, frightened by the shot, had
been staying away from home. Since
the warrant had been sworn out there
was no alternative for the officer but to
arrest his man and won with a strange
feeling that all is not we'll with him
the officer is willing to be character
witness regarding that dog if the case
comes to trial

TELLS OF BONDAGE
OF INDIAN WOMEN
Lawrence Holmes Depicts Horrors of
Child Wife System at a Benefit
Given for Women's Res
toration League

With thrilling intensity Lawrence
Holmes portrayed the unspeakable hor-
ror and degradation of child marriage
to large crowd at the benefit concert
of the Indo-American Women's Resto-
ration league, given in Elks' hall last
night. His words were not always
mice" but they caused horror to show
in the faces of his hearers, and they
depicted to many conditions existing
in India, such as many never before
knew.
The occasion was a benefit concert
given by the league to raise funds fol
the furtherance of the associa tions
work-to free from their bondage the
child-wives and child-widows of the
Mother of Civilization" darkest India
The Elks' hall was we'll filled with peo-
pie to whom the cause appealed, and
the benefit was a greater success than
its promoters had expected. A varied
program of vocal and instrumental mu-
sic, together with an address and q
reading by Mr. Holmes, evoked no little
applause and expressions of apprecia-
ton from the audience. Several of the
performers also received beautiful
floral gifts.
The Program
Prof. julius Albert Jahns headed the
program with a trio of delightful piano
numbers. Schumanns dainty Novel
ette," the dreamy Grieg "Nocturne, /"
and Chopin's "Bolero" comprised his
contribution to the success of the eV-
ening.
Roland Paul, the popular tenor sing
er OF Temple Baptist church. contrib
uted two tenor solos, the first an aria
from "I'Elisir n mora" " and DOnize+-
tfs Una Fortiva Lagrlma."
Messrs. Selling and Leishner scored
decided hit with Wieniawski's second
concerto, opus %.
Henry Harrison Balfour's deep basso
added materially to the pleasure of the
evening. He sang Itch Grolle Nicht,"
by Schumann.
The talented Miss Ward sang Foote's
The Rose and the Gardener" and
"Bisesa's Song" In the latter number
her beautiful 'velvet" contralto showed
to good advantage.
A selection by Mr.. Holmes completed
a program of more than ordinary merit
