Look at this letter Here's man who
says he has a horse that is twenty-one
hands high and weighs .. 700 pounds. He
incloses a newspaper advertisement which
contains a description of the animal and
adds that IL is good for exhibition pur-
poses. I'm not organizing CIRCUS.
When II is taken into consideration
that the height of the average horse is
about fourteen or fifteens hands and that
one that is sixteen and a half hands high
is considered big. II Will be seen that this
animal must indeed be a whopper.

So Now Gen. Clarence Edwards Is
Pestered to Death-He's Going
to Get Even.

Brig. Gen. Clarence r. Edwards. chief
of the bureau Of insular affairs. War De-
partment, has, had a good deal to do with
horses and. has frequently had occasion
to look over the horse market. but he is
learning something today that he didn

animals in the United States-and their

II didn't think everybody had a horse.
he remarked this morning just after look

that horses ever grew to the Size midi
Gated in some of the letters ] have been

The reason the general is receiving these
horse" letters is that wicked newspaper
man sent a story from Hot Springs. Va.
about ten days ago saying that Judge
Taft had asked Gen. Edwards to buy him
a new horse to take the place of the ami
NAL whose foot was injured short time
ago while the republican presidential cam
didate was riding over a rough mountain
road.
Clarence Is Real Sore.
Il have bought several horses for Judge
Taft remarked Gen Edwards. but he
hasn't asked me to get him one this time.

six letters every day from persons who

Taft wants-so they say. I am going to

Wanted feeling of brotherly love eX'

An American girl was presented to
an Englishwoman who has been in
this country but few weeks, and who
looked little lonely and out of it.
Have you been over here long?"
asked the American girl, just for the
sake of starting conversation.
mo, we came out only last month"
Game out is a lovely phrase"
thought the American, land English
people always use it in reference to
this country. Here we go out as mis-
sionaries to the heathern in China and
the Philippines wonder if the obvi-
Gus inference holds good?" But she
smiled, and asked the Englishwoman
how she liked America
"Oh," was the resigned reply, when
we came out we made up our minds
to be quite philosophical, don't you
know"

When choosing new furniture for
the dining room be careful to select
chairs with not too curved legs. They
may be very handsome, but if your
room is small you will find it difficult
to seat your guests close together at
a dinner or luncheon, as is sometimes
necessary. The bow in the legs Of
the chair takes up a too generous
amount of room. High-backed ones
are unnecessary and inconvenient
! when 1t comes to serving, and are
also cumbersome One is not eX-
pected to lean back when at the table,
so that for all practical purposes the
low-backed chair is best for the dining
room
1t has been found that bead fringe
on droplight is not as good as silk
as the former streaks the faces of the

table.
Another artistic dining room in a
country house was finished with a
chair ran and plate shelf, the walls
being papered in shades of old blue
the deeper tone being used below the
chair rail while the lighter shade was
above. The woodwork was a dull oak
with heavily beamed ceiling. A
handsome mantel was built Of stone,
tho fireplace being large enough to
burn huge logs. Andirons and other
fixtures were of wrought iron. The
furniture was of dull oak to match the
woodwork, and at the left of the side
board was built in a useful and at
tractive china closet with a chest of
drawers below. The cupboard above
had loaded glass doors in colonial de-
sign. The walls were devoid of all or
namentation, save for the plate shelf,
which held quaint collection of
brass and old china Simple window
curtains were of yellow silk, coming
just to the SILL A yellow and blue
English rug on the floor completed the
furnishings.
A violet luncheon was recently
given by bride, to her six brides
maids The table, laid for seven, was
unusually attractive and beautiful. A
large cut-glass bowl, filled with violets,
served for a centerpiece. Violets tied
with bows of ribbon of a lighter shade,
formed into a chain by connecting the
ends of the ribbon together, made a
border just inside the covers on the
table. When the chain was discon-
nected the punches were given as
favors. The table was lighted with
candles having violet shades The ice
cream was served in heart shaped
violet colored boxes, and place cards
were decorated with the same flower.
