Head Was Taken for Hat Trimming

worth sat next her but further back
in the box Miss Hagner, at Mrs.
Roosevelt's request, was in the middle
front seat and Mr.. Longworth was
just behind the private secretary.
Miss Hagner wore a large black hat,
with broad, fiat brim and dark trim
ming.
During the performance woman
sitting in the balcony happened to
glance toward the Roosevelt box, and
as she idly watched the occupants it
suddenly occurred to her that Miss
Hagner's hat was adorned with a bit
of trimming she had not noticed in her
earlier inspection
Why" she said to her companion,
look at that immense pink rose on
Miss Hagner's hatt 1 didn't notice
that before, did your
Her companion peered at the hat in
question.
NO., she said. Isn't it huge?"
Perfectly immense. Seems to be
out in the. brim of the hat, doesn't it 90
And just then-the rose moved,
1t was Mr.. Longworth's bald head.
The relative positions of head and
hat made it seem from the balcony
that the crown of the former was on
the brim of the latter.
OF course an ordinary head would
have shown for what it was, but a fine,
pink bald head made one of the most
startling pink roses even in this year

Mr.: William A. Radford will answer

subject Of building for the readers of this
paper On account Of his wide expe-
turer. he is. without doubt, the highest
authority on all these subjects. Address

One carpenter called this plan the
house with twin gables, and it certain
~ is distinguishing name 1t is an
old-fashioned house, having a width of
271s feet and length of 231s feet, ex-
elusive of porcheS; a case where the
width is greater than the length, be-
cause you always associate the length
of house as leading back away from
the street or road in front.
Architects are required to build
houses to fit the lots. Where land is
high priced it is usually cut up into
narrow lots, but ia a good many vii
lagos and country places the lots are
big enough to accommodate almost
any width of house, and this plan is
designed especially for such locations.
With this design you get wide front
age and consequently a fine outlook
to the front as well as on both sides,
and this is just what some lots need.
The veranda across the front of this
house is especially suited to a large,
wide lot The very looks of it sug-
gest summer afternoon comfort 1t is
a solid, well-built veranda too with a
good floor made of one and one-eighth
by three-inch clear white pine strips
carefully jointed, and the tongue and
groove is to be thoroughly we'll painted
with pure white lead, mixed rather
thick, before the strips are driven up,
thus making a floor that if kept well
r7'rface rainted will last a life time
The veranda columns are large and
are covered with siding with miterd
corners, and the balustrades are
framed in paneled sections, which
gives the appearance of close atten-
ton to detail, that looks well from the
street. There are also lattice panels
underneath Attempts have been made
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1908-01-25

at different times to do away with
these lattice panels, but no one has
been able to invent a suitable substi-
tute- Attempts at leaving them out
without anything to take their place
has never met with approval, be-
cause it leaves a bare, unfinished front
which no cobble-stone pavement ON
the ground will supersede. Such fads
are short lived, and sensible builders
usually avoid them.
There also is a comfortable rear
porch that may be easily screened
against flies and mosquitoes in sum-
mer time and paneled in for protection
against the cold winds and SHOWS in
winter.
A house shaped like this lends itself
easily TO a sensible arrangement of
rooms. They can be made all with

Prohibition at the national capital is
a dead issue, at least during the pres
ent congress, and, notwithstanding the
vigorous campaign the temperance
advocates will wage this winter, there
will be no legislation which will make
Washington a dry city.
In appointing the committee ON the
District of Columbia, which formu-
lates legislation for Washington,
Speaker Cannon selected a large ma
jority of members who live in the
large cities so as to secure men with
liberal ideas, and whose experience in
the government of municipalities will
be beneficial to this city.

the corner of a room you have every
advantage that you can get from an

TINS should have crate and every
crate should be in use all the time

Oil from Rabhits, Skim.

A new industry has been started in
Australia in connection with rabbits.
Nearly half a gallon of oil possessing
valuable lubricating qualities has been
obtained by a rabbiter at Gilgandra,
New South Wales, from 70 pounds of
skins, without lessening the CONNER
cial value of the latter.

A Eiohtina "Super."

The following little gem was one of the experiences of MT. Benson, tho Shakespearean actor:
 l Hr. Benson made professional visit to Dublin, and the rehearsals included the due training of a body of stage assistants to represent the hurried fly retracting supporters of Richard "Crook back" when that monarch sue cumbed to the onslaught of Richmond on the field of Bosworth. On the night of the first performance of the tragedy the army that was to fly stubbornly refused to leave the field or to ac, knowledge being vanquished, but turn ing upon the forces of Richmond gave them a severe drubbing. Nothing could be found to tame them to proper submission till one of the frank and flle'' said:

Silence and Science.

Before 1t was determined scientific ally that smoke is waste, smoke was fixed as the final indication and proof of prosperity. Today smokeless chimney means nothing less than thrift and good management. Similar, fly we now hear that noise Is proof of urban life, progress and activity. We may answer that noise is loss as surely as smoke is waste. Decreased comfort is loss and noise decreases comfort Disturbed minds are loss through a re. duction of mental force. But these and similar consequences are indirect loss. There is direct loss also. A rat. tling car means worn bearings and a short lived vehicle. Otherwise rail roads would not spend so much on their roadbcds, and they would run trains at higher speed.-Detroit Free Press.

WILL OPEN The BOXES.
Votes in the New York Mayoralty
Election to Be Recounted.

New York, May 27.-The boxes con-
tanning the ballots cast in the McCleI-
lan-Hearst mayoralty contest, nearly
three years ago, are to be opened This
was decided by Justice Lambert. in
the supreme court today, when he
overruled objections made by counsel
for Mayor Mcclellan. The Justice also
denied a motion to set aside two
subpoenas served upon President
Dooling of the board of elections,
which ordered him to produce the ball
lot boxes.
The subpoenas directing William
R. Hearst to appear before the court
which is hearing the recount case were
issued at the request of counsel for
Mayor Mcclellan. The attorney said
the action was taken in view of Mr..
Hearst's announcement that he intends
to sail for Europe. There is no i'm
mediate need for Mr.. Hearst's pres
ence in court, the attorney said, but
he may wish to call him AT any time
and desires him within reach.
