ONLY A GUESS.
But It Made Good Advance Informa.
ton For the Reporter.

Neils Olsen. who was for forty years
trusted employee of the New York
Yacht club, was always courteous to
newspaper men and glad to give them
such information as he could with
propriety make public. He was sorely
beset by news gatherers while the Dun
raven trial was going ON, and often
said to the reporters, with smile, that
he regretted his Ignorance" On the
evening Of Feb. p, 1916, when the
members of the club met at the old
clubhouse in Madison avenue, there
Was much quiet excitement because it
was well known that the question of
Dunraven's expulsion would come up
An cnterprising reporter stopped Olsen
as he came through the door and asked:
do you think they'll expel his lord
ship?'
Olsen said, How do l know?" and
then added, "Did you ever read this?

ping from the Tribune which read:
For Dunraven. never tumbling. still is
grumbling still is mumbling,
IN his lordly ancient castles over on the
distant shore,
And his talks have all the seeming Of a
daft and jealous seaman,
And the x rays through him streaming
show he's unfair at the core,
And because the Yacht club knows him
knows he's unfair at the core
He will race here-nevermore.
Half an hour later the meeting was
called to order, and within twenty
minutes resolution was adopted
stripping Dunraven Of his honorary
membership privileges. When the re.
porter saw Olsen he said, "That was
good advance information" to which
lie replied, II never give information;
that Was guess" New York Tribune.

THE LIVING ROOM.
N Should at All Times Be q Lii ahls'
Room.

What to do with the living room II
q problem that confronts every house
keeper. The living room should be
In fact as well as in name a living
room-a livable room. 1t 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 liz texture, and durable
in material.
The rich. soft, solid colored 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 a hard
wood floor? Yet, that is what we
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 tinted or solid col
ored wall. Fortunately 1t 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 cClors
reflect $50 OF the light thrown upon
them. Dark colors reflect but 1870.
Lighting bills can be saved by ckoos-
ing a 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
lily 1t, and so on, through the scale
OF colors. The color scheme OF

color Of the carpetings but it Is also

Losing a Tenant.

A landlord in the Highlands Of Scot
land had "crofter" tenant, who paid
him ten shilling3 a year as rent for
the little farm. At the end of the
second year the tenant came to the
landlord and said that he was not
able to pay more than five shillings a
year, as crops had been poor. The
landlord agreed to this.
At the end Of the third year the
tenant appeared before the landlord
again and complained that things
were going so poorly with him that
he was not able to pay any rent. The
landlord agreed to let him remain
rent free. At the end of the fourth
year the tenant once more appeared
before the landlord, and said:
Colonel, If you don't build me a
barn I'll have to move"

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

Henry Grimm, who was formerly
one Of the prominent members Of tho
German-American society, tells story
about a German friend Of his who
was taken ILL.,
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 a nibble at any
time he had a taste for 1t, put some
cheese in every room in the house.
1t 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

The CALL OF THE SOIL.
DAYS OF FINANCIAL Stress
MAKE FARM LANDS LOOK
RICH.

A stan contributor II q southern
newspaper has taken up the question
of the return to the farm of many who
had forsaken u for the glitter Of the
city. He says: 1T is a well known
fact that the history of this Govern
ment shows that those men who have
been most successful in life and who
have left their impress upon it's peo-
pie and its institutions as statesmen,
soldiers. financiers-have as a rule
been those whose youth was spent on
the farm, and 1t is to such as these
that there comes with overmastering
power THE CALL OF THE SOIL.
More especially does IT come with re-
doubled responsiveness, greater pow
er and sweeter pleading to the man of
AFFAIRS when the clouds of financial
unrest begin to darken the sky; when
the cry OF panic causes people to mse
their wits and act like stampeded cat
tie; when with reason or without
reason there arises before him the
specter OF ruin, grinning in his face
and waving its gaunt arms in threat
ening gesticulation.
The pitiable state into which Anme
men were brought by the recent fran-
cial furry, which happily is now
passed, suggests these reflections.
Some were ruined and very few be-
came insane because of their loosen.
Two or three took their own lives.

turns from his desk and listens to
the CALL OF THE SOIL.

throughout the United States of those
who have money in the banks and are
looking for investment in lands. No

purposes Of their own. Others to re-
