The Star under San Francisco date says:
 A duel to the death was fought last night in Sausome street saloon be- tween Frank COchrsne, an o!d.tIme gambler, and Frank R. Bell, capital ist. Both resided at Seattle. When six shots had been exchanged Cochrane fell dead in the arms of Charles Cad lem, the bartender, after stumbling over the unconscious form of his antag- onist, which lay near the table, mortal ly pierced by th:ee bullets. The tragic battle was caused by Bells alleged at- tentions to Ella Cocbrane, the young and beautiful wife of the dead man,
 The men met at the corner of Mar ket and Sausome streets, and according to the story of Jesse Duryea, Bells chauffeur. Cochrane invited hls enemy into Harry Eichelberger's saloon to talk oyer their differences.
 Retiring to a side room, the men seated themselves at a, small table. A moment later Bell was heard to say:
 You put your hands on the table and ! will do the same.

 Still cutching his smoking revolver, Cochrane staggered over the prOstrate form of his antagonist, advanced to- ward the middle of the saloon and fell dead in the arms of the bartender. Bell lies at the Central Emergency hospital In a critical condition.
 Bell and Cochraue are from Seattle. While CochraDe, who was a faro deal CT, was in Juneau, Alaska, Bell met woman signing herself as Ella CCcb- rane. Cochrane later went to Gold field, when Mrs. Cochrsne came to this city. Upon the return of Cochrane to Seattle, he learned that his wife had been to thls city.

this is one reason why architects like
to keep dwellings as low as is con-
sistent with good results. When, for
tunately, sentiment and low roof are
both on the side of economy it is easy
to cater to a popular fashion.
This design is &c feet inches wide
and 81 feet inches long, exclusive of
the porch. A house of this size built
full two stories in height looks higher
than it really is and the effect is not
pleasing. BY carrying the roof down
a hew feet at the corners in this way
the post-like effect is removed and
we have a much better looking house
without materially increasing the cost.
The saving in lumber will about make
up for the extra work on the upper
windows. and you get splendid light

vantage which comes from lowering

the goldhnch, believes in late season
housekeeping. IL is the cedar bird
(ampelis cedrorum) the very Beau
Brummel of birds. The cedar bird
has crest which 1t wears jauntily.
It's head and under parts are of a
beautiful fawn color, while the rpper
parts are olive gray. The tail is tipped
with yellow and upon the wings are
drops of red substance like sealing
wax. The birds plumage fits it like
a glove. 1t is the one bird of the
whole tribe of birds which can sit
with its back to n bowling wind and
never rufile feather. II has the
secret of being well groomed upon all
occasions,
The cedar bird. like the goldnnch. Is
not afraid of winter weather. There
is no sight more charming and more
novel than to see n number of cedar
birds sitting on tree branch during q
gentle snowstorm, and launching out
one after another. to seize the falling
feathery flakes The birds make a
winter sport of snowflake catching
Possibly the white flakes remind then
