building was BEAUTIFULLY decorated, and
directly over the table at which sat
the honored guests was a tricolored

Hot Shot For Bryan.
The issues of the next campaign"
said Mr.. Taft, "are to turn on the
achievements of the Mckinley and
Roosevelt administrations, which will
remain the subject for discussion be-
tween Us and our democratic friends,
or rather between us and the gentle
man who still seems to have the power
of leading The democratic party against
its will. We are to accept not what
the democratic party (as it used TO
be- thinks of any issue, but what Mr..
Bryan thinks on every issue as the
real basis of the national campaign
TO be ended by the election in No
yember next. Mr.. Bryan still keeps
alive controversies which many dem
Ocrats are content to regard as set
tied, We have to go back and reds
cuss matters which the verdict OF his.
tory, properly interpreted, ought long
ago to have ended.
Mr.. Mckinley and the republican
administration We're forced into war
with Spain against their will. With
out premonition We We're carried into
a search for our enemy 10000 miles
away, to the far-distant Philippines
and We could not get away. Thus II
happened that when the treaty oil
peace was signed we had presented tC
us a problem the settlement of which
has greatly affected our national pol
fey.

furnished with wireless telegraph ap.
paratus to telegraph to meteorological
stations with which they may be in
communication full details concerning
the weather at sea. This new branch
of the English meteorological service
has already proved valuable, and it is

KEEPING HIM ON TIME.
Since Walters Punishment He Hasn't
Been Late Once.

Walter is not a bad boy-as boys
20. He is inclined to be careless in
iome things, particularly in regard to
getting in from play in time for the
family dinner, which is eaten at
stated hour. Repeated seedlings and
warnings had no effect, and on the
average of three nights out of the
week he Was invariably late in re-
porting for dinner His excuse was
always the same-he didn't know
what time it was"
Walters father does not believe in
corporal punishment. On the other
hand, he found that moral suasion
was ineffective in his sons case, so
he hit upon another plan. Next aft
ernoon, as Walter was about to go out
to play, the father displayed to his
astonished eyes a small alarm clock,
a stout leather belt with a staple az
tachment and a small paddock. The
clock was wound and set to ring the
alarm at a quarter of an hour before
the time for dinner. The belt was
made fast around the boys waist, the
clock being secured by the loop in the
top. Before Walter could utter a
word the paddock was snapped into
place and the boy stood like human
clock tower.
Now, my son." said the father,
grimly. "You will be sure to know
when it is time to come in. But, re-
member, if anything should happen to
the clock, the price will be deducted
from your monthly allowance"
81 won't go out with this clock fas-
tened to me-" said Walter, his eyes
filling with angry tears.
"Oh, yes you WILL" said his father
calmly. IF you don't go of your own
accord I will take you around among
your companions and explain why
you are thus decorated Furthermore,
you must not return to the house un,
til the alarm rings. l want you to
get all the fresh air possible"
Sadly and shamefacedly Walter
skunk out of the house. AS he re,
moved the hated burden that night his
father said: Whenever you are late
for dinner hereafter you will wear the
clock next day as punishment" That
was several days ago, and Walter has
not been late for dinner once.

She Was in No Hurry.

Rev. DR.. Wallace, new pastor of the
East End Baptist church, brought a
new one to Cleveland with him.
According to the story, a Boston
girl got on the street car one day car
rying one Of those muffs the size of an
ordinary hassock. She had only one
hand in the muff. A young man sit
ting next to her took advantage of the
opportunity to slip his hand into the
unoccupied end of the muff.
The Boston girl turned upon him
severely. 81 could have you arrested
for such a familiarity" said she.
"But," she added, I'm from Boston
and purpose to keep calm. Now, I'll
just give you ten minutes to let go of
my hand. ."-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Her majesty Queen Alexandra has
lately conceived great liking for
fencing, and is now taking lessons
from one of the best-known fencing
masters in the country, says Tit-Bits.
The master in question was formerly
instructor to one of the regiments OF
household cavalry, and boasts of hav
ing trained more first-class swordsmen
than any other man in Europe. He de-
scribes her majesty as being born
fencer," and as one who, had she
taken up the art earlier in life, would
have achieved great prominence in it.

From the age of three months until

Effective Eoo Shifter-

A very effective fog shifter by the
way, is good snowstorm. Last boxing
day the snow that fell on the roof OF
the Lancet Office was analyzed, and
the result compared with a similar
analysis of snow that fell in Kent The
result showed that the London snow,
which was chiefly made up of sulphur,
tar and organic ammonia, fetched
down with it large percentage of the
coal smoke that is a chief constituent
of London fog, while the Kent snow
when melted was like distilled water.

HAD TO GET STRENGTH FIRST.
Hard Worked Woman Not Ready to
Face Hired Girl Problem.

A Massachusetts, man, whose busI-
ness frequently takes him over the
line into Vermont, says that one even
ing he was a guest at farm house in
that state when he observed that the
wife Of the owner-a poor, wan little
woman-was doing every bit of the
work around the house.
AS he himself put it, she did an
amount of work that would have put
an ordinary Massachusetts horse to
shame and he really felt like a Wiz
lain sitting there watching her.
Feeling considerable compassion for
the woman, who looked as if ready to
drop from overwork, the visitor
asked:
Why don't you get help here?
Surely you are not going to try to pull
through the long winter without a
hired girl"

face of the woman. WAL, dunno"

There is a certain little southern
girl who is very fond of her negro
nanny. The nurses name is Sally,
and she is a large woman, so she is
known as Big Sally. Ethel, however,
calls her "Biggie" for short. One day
her mother took her to a museum,
where, among other things, there were
some stuffed animals. Ethel was
greatly interested, and for many days
she did not tire of talking about them.
Perhaps week later, at the supper
table, after a preoccupied silence, she
said:
Mamma, when Biggie dies I'm not
going to have her buried; I'm going to
have her stuffed"

Where there is light there is always

Where the rooms are small a small

sill make the rooms appear larger,

Here are a few suggestions. For the

ign; for the bedrooms, a lowered de-
sign. with lighter or a darker body 40
cOrding to the amount Of light adj

For the parlor a quite decorative de-

furniture; for sitting room and dining
room, aTbOr or orchard effects are ef-
