Stella's tears fell unheeded on the

of the awful drive grew out of his
fevered babblings. Towards morning

soon prevailed. She awoke late in
the morning, depressed by a dread her
rest had not banished. Her first
thought was of Uncle Billy; her next
was OF Phineas; and from him her
mind flew to the strange dispatch.

All this was poured out im~petuously

~scantily comprehending the import of

told her that the complexion of the
roads would make forever unnecessary
such drives as Uncle Billy's latest

WILDCAT IN FREIGHT CAR.
Now it's Loose Near South Amboy;
 Natives Go Armed.

South Amboy, N. J.-Many resi- dents of this town have armed them selves in anticipation of a sudden at tack by supposed wild cat, which es, capped from Pennsylvania freight car. The car contained lumber con. signed to the South Amboy Lumber and Supply company. It came to the company's yards from North Caro- lima, and was on the way nearly Q week.
 As the lumber handlers started to open the car they heard a scratching noise inside, and when they opened the door they saw in the shadow two gleaming eyes. None of the men wanted to enter. Finally Edward Let's hit upon the happy expedient oi going to the other side of the car and banging it with crowbar. The others drew away from the door to give the animal a chance to come out. It did.
 It proved to be a wild cat, or south ern lynx, and the lumber handlers say it was about four feet long, though its rapid exit from the lumber yard may have caused an optical delusion in this respect.
 It was seen later in the day drink. ing from a spring near the railroad The lumber company has offered a reward for its capture dead or alive

THE LIVING ROOM.
1t Should at All Times Be a "LivahIe"
 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 a 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 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 a 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 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 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 859o of the light thrown upon them. Dark colors reflect but 159o. Lighting bills can be saved by choos- 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 greens absorb the light; light yellows reflect it; browns mod ify it, and so on, through the scale of colors. The color scheme of room not only is dependent upon the color of the carpetings but it is also dependent upon the light of the room.

THE PAINTING SEASON.

Good results in painting at the least cost depend largely upon the material chosen. Paint is a simple compound and the ingredients can be easily. test ed. The solid part or pigment should be White Lead. The liquid part should be Linseed Oil. Those best in formed on painting always buy these ingredients separately and have their painter mix them fresh for each job. Before the mixing the test is made.
 Place a pea-sized bit of White Lead on a piece of charcoal or piece of wood. Blow the flame against it and see what it will do. If it is pure White Lead, little drops of bright, pure metallic lead will appear, and with pa tience the White Lead can be com pletely reduced to one globule of metal lie lead. This is because pure White Lead is made from metallic lead.
 You may test dozens of other so- called White Leads and not be able to reduce one of them to lead. If they will not change wholly to lead but leave a residue, it is clear that some adulterant is present.
 If you should have your painting done with such materials, no matter how cheap they might seem, it would be costly in the end
 National Lead Company, Wood bridge Building, New York City, are sending on request a blowpipe free to any one about to have painting done, so that the White Lead may be test ed. With it will be sent handsomely printed booklet having as it's frontis- piece the Dutch Boy Painter" re- produced from the original painting. This little painter has become noted as the guaranty of pure White Lead.

The bride. groom, however, had gone on to Hoxie, and when Miss Drickly reached there she found her father and Smith await ing her. The father had hurried cross. country on horseback. He exacted a promise of Smith to return home for a formal marriage ceremony, and all returned here, when the knot was tied.

A Boy on CIerqymen.

Bishop Potter, at an ecclesiastical dinner in New York, read a Coopers town schoolboy's essay on Clergy. men," The essay, which created much amusement, was as follows:
 There are kinds of clergymen bishups, recters and curates. The bish- ups tell the recters to work and the curats have to do it, curate is thin married man, but when he is a recter he gets fuller and can preach longer sermons and becums a good man."

seemed to be in the hall. It was ike the hiss of escaping steam or the swish of bushes.
 MT. Lane investigated His daugh- ter had heard the same noises and they appeared in the hall from their rooms simultaneously. They were greeted with an unusual sight. Lum- bering toward them was a huge white object. Suddenly there was a crash and the sound of breaking glass. The strange object, which looked as ghosts are pictured, had collided with piece of furniture and broken a mirror.
 Mr Lanes daughter ran toward her father. Before she reached him the ghost-like object met her. Together they rolled downstairs.
 By this time Mr Lane had collected his thoughts and realized that a big hog which he kept in the stable had become loose and in some way had gotten into the house and upstairs, and that the hog was now making off with the daughter of the family riding on it's back. He started in pursuit of the animal After following about quarter of a mile he found the young woman lying beside the road in a badly frightened condition. He took her home in his arms, and in a short time quiet was restored to the house hold, though the women folks slept little for the remainder of the night.
 The pig was later found at a neigh bor's, none the worse from its expert ence of the night before, quietly root ing in the mud of the stable yard.

 Mir Lane was first awakened by strange sounds. He decided the wind was whistling about the house corner, and went to sleep again. Soon after the noises were heard again, and this time more distinct. In fact, they
