Because do not want to so into the
saloon business and have not been in the
business. The licenses held by two big
Omaha hotels are held by corporations and
/ do not want to go into the saloon bust
ness any more than the presidents of
these two big hotel companies, who do
not hold the license to operate their bars
IN their own names. The Krug park cor
p~oration has already been made the victim
OF the malice Of one or two cases and no
Individual wants to be liable for the re-
suits of such malice.

old wood will not take a stain well; only
new wood, and in staining the object should
he to bring out the beautiful grain of the
wood.
Many Of the stains which are sold CON
tain varrish. but a stain may be made by
taking paint Of the desired shade and
thinning it with turpentine until it will sink
into the wood almost as easily as pure
turpentine.
The following method will prove excellent
for treating a new floor: Apply one good
coat of stain, not merely specifically. but
working Il well into the wood by using d
cloth dipped in the stain. In this way
the grain takes all the color it should,
leaving none on the surface to wear away.
After the stain has dried thoroughly ap-
ply a thin coat OF shellac. This dries very
quickly and afterword a thik coat of
varnish may be applied If a varnish finish
is desired.
There are some reasons why the latter
is desirable. especially in bedrooms, as II
may be washed frequently with cold water
and kept thoroughly clean.
II a waNed floor is desired. a piece of
beeswax the size Of an egg may Nc melted
and a pint of warm turpentine added, taxi
| ing care that these ~inflammablc Ingredients
do not catch fire i'm the process. This
should be applied with an ordinary paint
brush to the floor, following the grain of
the wood.
After 1t has dried a little polish with a
brush-a horse brush is the best thing, as
/ it can be held with the hand, but there is
a heavy brush made for this purpose, which
one may use standing.
There IS nothing prefer than a waxed
floor If kept in good condition.
An old floor that has not been painted
can be stained with a walnut or cherry
stain and waxed and polished until it shines
in just this way.
The fashion of staining new woods, both
in woodwork and furniture, i'm forest green,
old blue or silver gray leads to many pretty
effects, where good taste is exercised, the
soft dull green staining being especially
pretty.
These colored stains looR better with only
the dull finish, no varnish being added to
take away from the beautiful grain of the
wood.
Always try the stain on a piece Of wood
before tinting the floor with it. as these
4 experiments will save unevenness of color.
ing.
After the stain has been rubbed in, the
lloor shouIu De gone over with very lne
%sandpaper and all Of the cracks filled with
putty, colored with lumber or other paint
until it exactly matches the floor. Some.
times a second coat of stain is advisable
before the shellac is added.
If the floor is light in color use the white
shellac, as the yellow shellac changes the
color.
Forest green stain on Georgia pine is ex.
cellent, and walnut stain on oak is equally
effective.

There is said to be a tendency again to
hang the better sort Of wall papers in
nsnels This return to former principles
~ mural decoration is mainly due to the
influence OF recent architectural achleVe-
ment. followed by an intelligent decorative
treatment of interiors in the styles or the
periods indicated by the work OF the aren't

metricaI panels. scaled and balanced In pro-
norton to- the dimensions of a room, and
40 a simple and rational method of deco
rating the wall surfaces is 10 carry out
the idea suggested by the constructive fea-
lures.
For the drawing room are used papers
Stimulating a velvet surface or showing the
design in relief Of silk flock on a back
ground or embossed silk or smooth satin.
In panelling papers of this high class
moulding of gilded wood OF moulded car
ton pierre is used, the wall spaces around

tauic treatment in glazed aluminium or gold
leaf. The use of g~alloons 70 finish the paper
inside the panel mouldings lends a textile
effect to the wall covering and enhances
the value of the decorative scheme when
portieres and window hangings Of velvet or
silk damask are used.
Dining rooms panelled in French tapestry
or Japanese leather papers may have the
hardwood mouldings suggested by the
woodwork. OF strips of mouldings in leather
effect showing metallic nail heads are
sometimes employed with excellent results,

times out ne has twirled good games
but not quite good enough to win. The
others have been going along nicely.
For George Ii has been indeed
thorny path. The team is over-anX-
ious TO win behind him and usually
makes a bunch OF errors in the early
stages which put him in so badly that
impeccable twirling in the rest OF the
game is unable to pull him out.

! pitcher right now he Is very near
il. Against the Buffalo Eastern
league leaders yesterday he
pitched a very neat game, winning
by score Of 4 to and allowing
the 6isons but five scattered hits.
The dispatches all unite in saying
that his, speed was excellent, and, IL
this is true, he will be ready TO take
his turn In the box when occasion
arises, for there is no Highlander in
the league who can command a pref
tier curve ball than the '07 star OF the

ly unique in the fact that il is more

more effective against left-handed
batsmen than the twister of the aver
age right-hander which varies but a
little from the horizontal plane.

OF the frugal manner In which

possible service out OF the men he
had Buffalo usually won the pen

Then Hughie fell heir TO the Tig-
