PERHAPS A NATURAL MISTAKE.
Physician Had Reason to Think He
Had Lost His Patient.

Henry Grimm, who was formerly
one of the prominent members of the
German-American society, tells a story
about a German friend Of his who
was taken i'll.
For many days the German was
close to death, but after a time he
showed improvement in condition.
The doctor told the Germans wife
that her husband might have any
thing to eat that he liked.
The German expressed a desire for
Limburger cheese, and the wife, being
a generous woman and pleased at the
Improvement, and in order that her
husband might have nibble at any
time he had a taste for it, put some
cheese in every room in the house.
It is easy to imagine the aroma.
The next morning the doctor called
at the house, and as soon as he opened
the door he asked:
when did he die?"-Hartford Post.

ded in the thigh.
The conductor of the train was

THE LIVING ROOM.
g Should at All Times Be "Llvsbler
Room.

What to do with the living room is
a problem that confronts every house
keeper. The living room should be
in fact as we'll as in name living
room-a livable room. It is the room
In which the most of our time at
home is spent, the hours we have for
leisure, the time we have for play,
the place where we entertain our
friends and 1t is absolutely essential
that the walls and furnishings Of the
living room should be harmonious in
color, suitable in texture, and durable
in material.
The rich, soft, solid eolored walls
are the ideal walls for the living
rooms. They make a better back
ground for pictures, throw the furni-
ture out in better relief, are less dis
cordant with rugs and carpeting, and
indicate higher degree of taste and
culture than do the colored mon
strosities which we paste on when we
apply wall paper.
Who ever saw roses climbing up a
plastered wall growing out of hard
suggest to the imagination when we
paste paper covered with roses on
our walls. They are neither artistic
nor true. Roses are all very beauti-
| full, but they were never made to
climb up interior walls and they do
not grow from hardwood flooring.
The set figures of wall paper are also
tiresome and equally disagreeable and
repellant.
The alabastined wall is the only
correct form of a tinted or solid COL
ored wall. Fortunately it is the only
clean way, and more fortunately it is
the only permanent way; the only
way that does not involve the end
less labor in the future.
In lighting the walls some thought
must be given the color. Light colors
reflect $3.50 of the light thrown upon
them. Dark colors reflect but 1870.
Lighting bills can be saved by choos-
ing color which will reflect the
largest degree of light. In north
rooms use warm colors or colors
which reflect light. In south and
west rooms sometimes the light can
be modified by the use of darker
colors. Dark green's absorb the light:
light yellows reflect it; browns mod
fly it, and so on, through the scale
Of colors. The color scheme of a
room not only is dependent upon the
color of the carpetings but it is also
dependent upon the light of the room.

Authorities Getting Anxious over the
long-Continue Silence of Minis
ter Russell. The Bubonic Plague
Prevalent

Washington, April %. - Anxious
over the long-continued silence of
Minister Russell, the United States
may dispatch swift cruiser to Vene-
zuela to demand the person of its re-
preventative at Caracas. Nothing has
been heard from Minister Russell or
the consular officials for about two
weeks.
The plague is said to be raging in
Venezuela, but the cable and mails, as
mediums of communication, should
not suffer for it.
Altho no open expression of opinion
is offered, it is generally known that
this government isjnclined to believe
that strict censorship may have some
thing to do with Mr.. Russell's inability
to communicate with Washington.
The closing of the port of La Guai-
ra because of the existence of what
is believed to be bubonic plague there
has made it necessary for the state
department to have at hand some
vessel to be used as a dispatch boat
by Minister Russell in sending mes
sages to Curacao or Port of Spain,
Trinidad, and for taking cablegrams
to him from the state department.
That no plans have been matured
to govern American intercourse with
Venezuela in the future was stated
today by the state department Off
Gals. Minister Russell, it is said
here, probably will not leave Caracas
on vacation leave pending possible
action by the United States congress
on the American claims now pending
before the senate committee on for
eign relations. 1t is understood that
this committee is to deal with the
Venezuelan question tomorrow.
1t also is understood at the state de-
partment that this action may take
the form of q resolution authorizing
the president to use whatever means
he may deem necessary to bring
President Castro to realization of
the necessity of complying with the
American demand for arbitration of
the differences between the two
countries.
