Who ever saw roses climbing up a
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 arc 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

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 pea-sized bit Of White Lead
ON q piece of charcoal or piece Of
wood. Blow the flame against 1t and
see what 1t will do. II II 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. II they
will not change wholly to lead but
leave n residue. It is clear that some
adulterant is present
lf you should have your painting
done with such materials, no matter
how cheap they might seem. Il would
be costly In the end.

Jersey Man Threatens Terrible
Possibiiities-NewP Properties
Found In Salt Water.

II Richard Taguc OF South Amboy.
N. j.. had followed the advice OF the
popular song and told his troubles to
the p'leceman. he might not have
known SO much In the long run. but
he would have been n sight happier.
There had been slight domestic
fracas because Tague had shown an
unreasonable Jealousy. according to
his wife. and so he was a.walking the
streets. pondering whether he should
drown himself or go home and thrash
his wife.
At this psychological moment sail.
or.man crossed his path and In the
subsequent maneuyerins they became
chummy. Tague told his tale OF woe:
tho Ancient Mariner prescribed a
remedy. He was salt OF the old
school. one who had followed the sea
long before tho days OF "tin'kettle
sailors" In his wanderings he had
touched many ports. met many strange
peoples. and a wealth OF mysterious
knowledge was hidden beneath his
wind.worn cap. He whispered In
Tague's starboard ear: Tague shook
his head approvingly. and the twain
shecrcd on.
That night when Mrs. Tague. "A bit
tired by a two-hour Caudle lecture.
slept heavily. her husband procured a
basin of salt water and placed her
hands In Il. After which he lis
tened. For time she lust babbled.
Then her speech clarified and began
to spout. She told all the anxious
listener wished to know Of her life.
before she met him and since. So
much. indeed. that he sirai.htway filcd

BY an Appeal.

Chicago, Feb. 10.-The Rev James
R. Kane, convicted in the United
States district court at Springfield of
counterfeiting, resumed the pastorate
of the First Congregational church of
Wheaton yesterday and conducted the
Sunday services. The minister was
convicted of counterfeiting and SEN
fenced to two years in the penitent-
iary at Fort Leavenworth, January
II. His case was taken to the United
States court of appeals, and on Fri
day he was released from the Spring
field county Jail after bonds of 81
500 had been furnished. His arrest
occurred after federal secret service
men had found dies for the coming
of money in the preachers home at
Lincoln, Ills, where he formerly was
pastor of a church. The minister
claimed the dies were used in max
ing medals for bright Sunday school
pupils, but the jury decided other
wise.

Bordeaux, Feb 10.-Senhor Franco,

wife and son, left this city by train
this morning for Marseilles. The de-
parture was made suddenly, the hotel
authorities being notified of the step
at the last moment.
1t was twenty minutes before train
time when Senior Franco unexpected
ly requested his bill from the hotel
manager. The time was so short that
the hotel porters had hard work to
get the baggage of the Franco party
to the station in time.
Senior Franco appears rested from
his stay here. He is less depressed
and he walked over to the train at a
quick step. He was accompanied by
French detectives. There were no
people at the railroad station to see
him off. ...~ :

S22,25O,ooo DUE ON TAX.
New York Corporations Lax In Pay
ing Franchise Assessments.

Albany, n. Y, Feb. 10. - Striking
showing of the failure of corporations
to pay the amounts they should pay
under the special franchise tax law Is
contained In the annual report of the
state board of tax commissioners
which will be sent to the legislature
The report says:
"A careful compilation shows that
taxes remain unpaid upon total OF
S1,4S3, 233, ,7SS of assessments made by
this board under the provisions of the
special franchise tax law. OF this
vast amount S1,443. $50, ,693 still stands
upon the assessment rolls in New York
city alone, while the taxes remain un.
paid upon total assessments of $780,.
951,095 in other parts of the state.
Special franchise tax assessments
have been made under the present law
in this state for eight years. During
those years the state board of tax
commissioners has made total assess
ments against corporations, firms or In.
dividuals amounting in the aggregate
TO $2,717,943,45 The records show
that in the eight years these corpora
tions. firms and individuals have paid
less than one-half the taxes due. 1t Is
n conservative estimate that there is
now due in taxes under this law ap-
proximately S22, ,250. 900, of which about
$21,650O00 is due in the city of New
York alone.
