Some days later Frank was reused
from his slumbers by the bugle-call OF
"boots and saddle" The regiment
mounted quickly and went at gallop
in the direction of the recent fight
Nobody knew what was the trouble,
but apparently the enemy had ap
peared in force enough to justify the
alarm of the entire post, although NO
one had seen him.
The next day Frank went to look
gone, and in its place was hole as
large as a cellar, and beside it stood
the colonel of the regiment and the
captain of the guard. Frank heard the
colonel say:
Il never heard of such extraordinary
artillery practice. You say the fire In
the woods was just here?"
"The very place" said the captain.
There was a great brush-heap here,
and some fellow set it on fire, sup
pose, while lighting his pipe"
But how could the enemy have got
the range so eXactly?" said the colonel.
''They must have used the same gun
each time, and pumped their shells
in exactly the same spot"
. "That isn't possible" said the cap
tain. Some of the explosions were
much louder than others, so there
must have been guns of different cali.

HORSE DRAINAGE STABLE.
An Arrangement Which VIII Prove
Very Satisfactory.

In it's relation to hygiene, the sub
ject of stable drainage is among the
most important, and this, too, apart
from ventilation, a subject of equal
Importance; for, without proper ven
tilation, no system of drainage will
avail much. The average architect of
the above factors out of his plans and
calculations; hence, 1t is absolutely
necessary that the breeder should un-
derstand the principles of drainage
and ventilation, in order that he may
be able to give advice, and also to
correct errors when found. For want
of this knowledge, the proper hygienic
effects cannot be produced; neither

This sign is permanently attached
to the front of the main building OF
the Lydia (E. Pinkham Medicine
Company, Lynn, Mass.
What Does This Sign Mean?
1t means that public inspection of
the Laboratory and methods of doing
business is honestly desired. Itmeans
that there is nothing about the bus
mess which is not "open and above
board"
1t means that permanent invita-
ton is extended to anyone to come
and verify any and all statements
made in the advertisements of Lydia

Is it a purely vegetable compound
made from roots and herbs = with

Do the women of America continu-
ally use as much of it as we are told?
Come and See.
Was there ever such person as
Lydia E. Pinkham, and is there any

woman are asked to write?
Come and See.
Is the vast private correspondence
with sick women conducted by
women only, and are the letters kept
strictly confidential?

This advertisement is only for
doubters. The great army of women
who know from their own personal
experience that no medicine in the
world equals Lydia E. Pinkham's

THE LIVING ROOM.
II Should at All Times Be a "Livable"
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 living
room-a livable room. 1t 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,
friends and it 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 tc
climb up interior walls and they dc
not grow from hardwood flooring
The set figures of wall paper are also
tiresome and equally disagreeable ant
repellant.
The alabastined wall is the only
correct form of tinted or solid col
ored wall Fortunately 1t is the only
clean way, and more fortunately 1t if
| 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 $50 of the light thrown upor
them. Dark colors reflect but 15To
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 colori
which reflect light. In south and
west rooms sometimes the light car
be modified by the use of darker
colors. Dark green's absorb the light;
light yellows reflect it.; browns mod
ify it, and SO on, through the scale
of colors. The color scheme of 9
room not only is dependent upon the
color of the carpetings but it is also
dependent upon the light Of the room
