Buy your furniture gradually II you
cannot get a good quality at once. A
piece or two at a time, the best of its
kind, will insure you a well-furnished
home eventually.
But in rooms. as in dress, strive for
some suppression of your own individu-
atty There are homes that speak 20
the stranger and tell all the thoughts Of
their inmates. and thece are houses
that cry Oue their lack OF personality.
Therefore, first make UP your mind 10
what you want then lend an unstub-
born ear TO the professional decorator.
Consider the lighting Of your room be
fore choosing the decorations. A dark
room can be made light and cheerful
with the proper colorings.
Don't overcrowd; don't be too ornate
for comfort. Don't tumble colors unless
YOU want your house to resemble a May
pole.
One tone alone is monOtonous, and two
that harmonic are perfectly safe, but
many tones and units must be blended
with the utmost care.
Don't mix woods. Mahogany, golden
oak, and ebony in one room, make
combination that has only utility 10
recommend It.
See that your pictures are well hung
and suitably framed. Too many buy the
pictures for the frame. Simple, dark
wood frames for etchings or engravings,
duh gilt for water colOrs or oil paint
ings. and narrow lines Of wood har-
monizing with the darkest tone in the
photograph are a good choice.
A safe rule for bric-a-brac is useful
ness or undoubted beauty. Cheap, crude
frames, vases. clocks or small orna-
ments destroy artistic effects.
Wall paper is all-important Too
many figures rarely give as good re
suits as neutral, walls with the figures
confined to borders, ceiling or paneling-
If the paper is figured keep the drap-
cry plain, generally Of the prevailing
tone Ia the paper
Don't have the curtains and portieres
deliberately draped and OF huge figured
designs. Straight lines and neutral col
orings will never jar on artistic sensi-
tiveness.
Be careful about your lamps. The

graceful lines; shades either of paper.

THE PUGlLlSTS
THE ENCLISHMAN
 SURPRISED THEM
Gwen Moran Was There With the Wallop and Got a Draw With
 AtteIl.

Colma, Cal, Jan. 2. = Twenty five rounds of fighting that was like an ex- hibition by trained shadows ended in draw here between Abe Attell and Owen Moran. Both bo:s labored to the last of their skill and endurance for the international featherweight cham pionship, but when the final gong changed Jim Jeffries, the referAa, pro nounced that neither had shade on the other. They had ripped and slash ed and danced with dizzy agility about the ring for seventy-fiye minutes of furious fighting, but neither could pre- vail.
 The pugilists were heartily cheered when they entered by record crowd. Moran was first presented % the crowd by the announcer, Jordan, as the Eng fish crack a jack and champion" He was wildly applauded.
 Attell was introduced as the clever est boy in the world and America's featherweight champion"
 The seconds were announced as fol- lows:
 { For Attell-Battling Nelson, Kid Farmer, Monte and Caesar Attell.
 For Moran-Alf Wicks, Tiv Creling and Professor Jim Kelly.
 Both men were confident, but the betting all favored Attell, who was fa- vorite at ? to 1. There was plenty of Moran money in sight, however.

POLO
NANTUCKET HERE
 THIS EVENING We Knocked the Spots Out of New Britain Yesterday All the
 Other Results.


 Pawtucket makes her appearance here this evening and the fans should forget all about that game the other night and get out and give the local quIatette a hearty welcome for their victory of yesterday afternoon over New Britain. The boys couldn't tell themselves why they played so poor ly the other night. They simply couldn't get into. the game, try as they would. They were in it yestei- day, however, with both feet and they played the best game that has been seen in the New Britain rink this season. By winning that game they sent New Britain down another round in the ladder and placed her in third place. They will make amends tonight for that poorly played game of the other evening, and with Bob Loxson once more in form everything should run along smoothly. Pawtucket is putting up a good article of polo and all those who do turn out will be sure to see a corking good battle. Get there and back up a team that has more than its share of hard luck.

CLINToNs BEAT REGALs.

New Haven. Jan 2.-The Regal Ath- letlc club of Hartford played its first basketball game here yesterday after noon and was defeated by the team of the Clinton Athletic club, 46 to 10. The game was played in the Anderson Gym on York street and was witness cd by 200. After the game there was sunset hop. While the Regals are regarded as superior to the clintons on the gridlron. there is no doubt that they are not in. the same class with the New Haven boys in basketball. This is explained by the fact that the Re- gals have not hall fin which to prae- tice. Harry Greenberg. who played right forward for the Clintons, is the famous wrestler who won his match in the inter-elty tournament in Hart ford.

NOT AN AMERICAN, HE SAYS.
Scientist Asserts Prehistoric Man Did
 Not Exist Here.

Washington, Jan. 2.-That no human bones of prehistoric origin have yet been found in America is the conclu- sion of pamphlet soon to be issued by pr. Ales Hrdlica of the United States National museum, through the bureau of ethnology in this city, and in which the various. discoveries suppos. ed to be of geological antiquity are des clared to be of comparative modern man.
 pr. Hrdlica was formerly of the stan of the American Museum of Natural History, and since going to Washing ton has done little but study. the bones of ancient and modern man and after exhaustive examination sums up his work with a declaration that those scientists who hold that prehistoric man existed on this continent have erred.
 pr. Hrdlica's declaration in the forth. coming pamphlet places him in direct opposition to leading American an- thropologists.

THE DIAMOND
WILD BILL WOULD
 AN EDITOR BE
Former Waterbury and Hartford Pitcher Will Have Thoughts
 in Print.

Hartford, Jan 2.-Old Hartford friends of Wild Bill Donovan will be glad to know that he is looking for ward to another successful year. He weighs over 190 pounds, and that is more than he ever scaled before. When Bill pitched in Hartford he didn't weight much more than Shad- ow Gilmore used to when he hurled the horsehide. Bill has been aggra- ,vatingly light and his physical pros perity this year is regarded as ex- tremely promising. Like Umpire Evans, Ty Cobb, Addie Joss and some of the other lights of baseball. Bill has become smitten by the journals tic bug and is likely to do some news paper work of the syndicate order be- fore the winter is over. Donovans fame as a story teller is well known wherever baseball fourishes and he ought to make huge success of it. Ty Cobb edited the sporting page of a Georgia paper the other day and he was generous in boosting the other players of his acquaintance. When eDilI lunCo iilc pCil " y III hand and begins to reel off the dope, he will have some interesting stories about his Hartford experiences. Bill pitched some great ball here and he was well backed up by Worry Steel man. This battery was the idol of the fans and gold watches and floral horseshoes and oak leave crowns were given to them. But Donovan never made such hit with the newsies as old Hoss Vickery did. After winning game, Vickery would have to ducA down a back alley in order to escape the cheers of the army of small boys who would fallow him as far as they would drum major with a big shako. Donovan entertained a gathering of fans one night at the hackman's stand with what he called baseball philos- ophy. He said the pitchers were con- tinually framing up something to pre- vent batsman from connecting with the ball and the stickers were always on the lookout for means to get the wood on the sphere, Bill pondered over this thing a long time and he said it bothered him to get the ans wer t
