Using Proner Colors.

The sallow woman should be
taught to eschew tan, and the ghost
ly person with dead black hair and
parchment complexion should be told
to boycott bright gowns.
Faded blondes who always seem to
love pale blue, should be encouraged
to introduce touches Of ros and pop
py red into their costumes.
The woman with a skin like a cam
ella and warm brown hair should he
decked in warm mauv and browns.
Some women stick s%tubbornly to
the colors they like, irrespective of
whether or not they are becoming.
One woman whose hair, eyes and
skin are three different shades of
gray always wears gray. The effect
is unearthly, but not beautiful. Ten
years ago whe her eyes were bright
er than they are today and her cheeks
we're rosy, her gray bonnet made a
charming setting for her silver hair
and darker complexion.
Today she needs purple and deer
warn reds to warm her up.-Omaha

Setting Out Trees.

Fruit and shade trees may be set
any time during the winter if the
soil is in the proper condition for
work. The condition Of the soil at
the time the trees are set has more
to do with the @uccesso failure of
the trees than does the season of
setting. If the land is in good con-
dition in the fall and the trees can
be obtained, it is better to set them
then than to wait and run the risk
Of not having ~ soil in good con-
dition later on. the land should be
in a thorough state of cultivation
and should be moist enough to work
well when the trees are set out. If
they are in good condition there is
no need Of watering them.
Trees set in the fall may be a lit
tie difficult to protect from rabbits,
but they are usually in better con-
dilion to start growth in the spring
than those that have been heeled III
all winter. There are not so many
poor trees sold in the fall as in the
spring, and for this reason fall set
ting usually gives better results
than spring setting.-Oklahoma Sta

Making the Bed.

Its just as much of an art to make
a bed properly as it is to make a good
cake. The attractiveness of a clean,
smooth, orderly made bed, is the
result of but little practice.
Strip al the bedclothing off and
shake it we'll. See that the mattress
is turned frequently, then cover with
a pad or cotton blanket. Have the
under sheet tucked all around tight,
and you will never have to lie on
wrinkles. Tuck the upper sheet gen
erously under at the foot and have it
long enough to fold over at the top.
Lay the blankets SO that the top edge
will come about eight inches from
the top of the mattress. Tuck the
sides, fold over the sheet, SO as to
protect the blankets from coming in
to contact with the body, and you
will insure cleanliness. Then cover
all with a clean washable spread.
This should not be used at night,
but should serve to protect the bed
clothing during the daytime.
Place a soft comfort, folded in q
neat roll, across the foot. Puff W
the pillows and stand them at the
head, and you will have a bed thai
will be inviting and sanitary.-Suc

HOME DEPARTMENT.
"Thc Hundred Best Books.'

THE first, duty that we owe our
selves in the matter of reading is to
be honest about 1t; to find out what
our individual preferences are, and
to acknowledge them. If. our taste
runs to fiction rather than to poetry
then by all means let us make space
for T%hackeray and Stevenson and Du-
mas, rather than for a complete set
Of the Aldine Poets. And above all
let Us o stock our shelves with I'M
interesting books that a symposium
of college professors has picked out
as the worlds masterpieces. For
practical purposes the most unsat-
isfactory library you can own is what
we may call the ready made library,
formed from the SO called Hundred
Best Books"
AS a matter of fact, there is no
such thing as a hundred boks or fifty
books, or eve ten that can be pro-
claimed to the world as absolutely
the best. The value of any book, 10
you or to me, depends less upon
what the author put into it than up
what you or l succeed in getting out
of it,-and this is something that no
third person a ever judge for us.
The-first principle uponaes~hfch t6
build up a home library is to put in
to it only such books as are going to
be read; and if Millions Paradise
Lost" is to stand on the shelf year
after year, gathering dust, Vine
Kipling's ''Barrack-Room Ballads"
are taken down and read until the
binding grows shabby, then Kipling
belongs to your own personal Hun

The excavation from the line of
the Panama Canal last month aggre-
gated 1,83S,486 cubic yards, and
would have covered ten city blocks
to a depth of forty feet. No such
work has ever been done before as
Colonel Goethals has been doing on
the isthmus, according to statistics
presented in the official record just
received. For instance it is shown
that every fifty working days the
commission is moving an amount of
material equal to the pyramid Of She
ops which consumed the labor Of
100000 men for twenty years in
building, and the services of the same
number of men for ten years in con-
structing a. road connecting the
work with the quarry. The COM
mission could build the Suez Canal
at the present rate of progress in
3.S years, though it took ten years
for De Lesseps to complete his work.
The famous Manchester ship canal
could be excavaed by the American
canal workers in just twenty-five
months and even Emperor Williams
magnificent Keil canal would be dug
by the Americans in just five years.
According to the latest health report
from Panama, the isthmus has been
free from yellow fever for more than
eighteen months and there has been
steady and continued improvement
in health conditions. Comparing the
death rate Of the year up to De-
cember list, with that for the cor
responding period in 1906, there has
been fifty per cent decrease, figures
being for this year 20.66 per thous-
and against 1861 last year. The
sick rate also showed marked i'm.
provement being 20.49 for November
against $3.50 for October 1907.

suit against Thomas McTurk. execu-
tor of the estate of VIM. McTurl, de-
ceased, Ann McTurk, Thomas McTurk.
Margaret Lewis, John McTurk, James
to set aside the decedent's will, which
was admitted to probate on the 9Th
day of May, 1907. The plaintiff alleges
in his petition that he is the son OF
VIM. McTurk; that he never received
any notice of any kind from any source
of the date or time for the probating
of the will, and that had he received
such notice, he would have taken the
necessary steps to have contested said
will to prevent the same from being
admitted to probate. The petition also
alleges that the instrument admitted
to probate was not the last will and
testament of the said VIM. McTurk for
the reason that the execution Of said
alleged or pretended will by the de-
ceased, was procured by undue and inn
proper influence and that he was in
duced to make said pretended will
against his own will and judgment;
that at the time OF the execution of
said will by deceased. he was Of UNI
sound mind and wholly incapacitated
to knowingly and Understandings
make his last WILL and that on the day
of the execution Of said pretended will,
the deceased was under the influence
of liquor given him by the defendant,
Thomas McTurk and in such an
amount as to affect the mind Of the
testator and to cause him to become
wholly incapacitated for making a val
id will.
The McTurk estate is large one
to between $4,000 and
$50 900. All the rest of the heirs with
exception Of Gilbert, were left real es-
tate in their own name, and the lat
ter's was bequeathed to him during
his natural life only. unless he should
marry and leave children, in which
case 1t would descend to them.
The prayer Of the petition prays
and held for naught and that said es-
tate may be settled as tho the said
decedent had died intestate. Judgment
against the defendants for the costs is
also demanded. Ths, case will be tried
at the October term Of the district
court.

RACE WAR At scANDlA.
Serious ouarreIs Take Place at Sunday
Gall Games.

Special to Times Republican.
Woodward, May 15.-A large mining
camp east of Woodward is having
much trouble on account of ball play
ing on Sunday. For the past month
at Scandal, ball playing has been the
business of the day. Perry, Woodward,
Madrid and many other ball teams
have played there, and so far, Scandal
Is filling up with colored miners from
nearly every camp in the state, still, so
far the colored people have come from
Buxton, much to the dislike Of the
white miners. Last Sunday at the
ball game, there was almost a class
fight, and many carried away black
eyes and sore heads. Guns, razors and
knives were drawn. but no one went
so far as to use them. Up to the
preso date. the colored people have
a majority at that point, and have been
gaining fast for the past month.
Should the ball games continue, there
is no telling what will happen. The
quarreling last Sunday was caused by
drunks.
The mine is said to favor the col
ored miner.
