THE LIVING ROOM.
II Should at All Times Be . "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 a living
rooni-a livable room. II Is the room
in which the most Of u time at
home is spent, the hours we have for
leisure, the time we have for play,
the place where we entertain our
friends and 1t 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 a 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 to
climb up interior walls and they do
not grow from hardwood flooring.
The set figures Of wall paper are also
tiresome and equally disagreeable and
%repellant.
The alabastined wall Is the only
correct form Of a tinted or solid col.
ored wall. Fortunately 1t Is the only
clean way, and more fortunately 1t Is
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 upon
them. Dark colors reflect but 1870.
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 colors
which reflect light. In south and
west rooms sometimes the light can
be modified by the use Of darker
colors. Dark green's absorb the light;
light yellows reflect It; browns mod.
ify 1t, and so on. through the scale
OF colors. The color scheme OF a
room not only is dependent upon the
color OF the carpetings but It Is also
dependent upon the light Of the room.

HARRISON IS SUGGESTED
 FOR VICE PRESIDENT

Washington. May 14.-(Special)-- John Sharp Williams. democratic lead CT in the House, came out today for a New York man for the vice presidency, In case the Denver convention nomi- mates western or southern man for the first place on the ticket.
 Francis Burton Harrison is Williams choice in such contingency, and he gave out statement today in which he declared that the fact that Harri- sons father was secretary to the Pres ident of the Confederacy would endear him to every southerner, while his ability was well known.
 AS member of the House com mittee," said MT. Williams, in discus sing Harrison's fitness, Harrison has shown notably the disposition to for get that he is rich and need not work, but to do the work that presents it. self to him as a member of the com mittee to which I assigned him. with all of his heart and mind and strength and will. 1t Is so rare to find a rich man who is willing to work and think that God made him to do something except fill a niche In a hall of luxury, that when one does present himself he ought, in my. opinion, to be more highly honored than the man who was forced to excel by the necessities of environment and fortune"
 Friends of Harrison recently made a poll of the democrats of the House. and declare there is an overwhelming sentiment for him as second on the Denver ticket. W. S.

THREE BANDITS
 SECURE S35,OOO Bind az, Plg Station Agent
 Especial Guard ..sX AND DOGS IN PURSUIT
Monew Was Being Transferred to Daw- son, N. M., to Pay Miners-Rob- bery at French on the
 Santa Fe Road.

El Paso, Tex. May 14.-Pursued by men and bloodhounds. three bandits, with $35,0O0 of loot in their possession, are fleeing through the rugged mountain passes north of French, little station so miles from East Las Vegas, N. M., on the Santa Fe railroad. in as effort to es- cape the clutches of the law.
 At French this afternoon they broke down the doors of the depot, bound and gagged the station agent and special guard, blew open the safe, took the money and rode away, leaving their vic- tims helpless.
 A tramp wandered into the station half an hour later, released the almost uncon- scious men and gave the alarm. The news of the daring robbery was wired to every town in the neighborhood of French. and a special train, bearing % deputies and 50 horses left East Las Vegas in half an hour hot on the trail of the fleeing bandits. A special with four men also left Dawson. message was sent to the territorial penitentiary at Santa F e for bloodhounds which were brought through as fast as a special en- zine and car could carry them.
 The stolen money was sent from AL berquerque this morning to pay miners at Dawson, N. M.
 Only a branch road leads to the mines. A special transfer of the money was necessary at French. A special guard, heavily armed, accompanied the treas urer, and upon leaving the train at French he went inside the station, placed the money in the safe and locked the doors of the station.
 Suddenly the noise of a breaking win dow attracted him and the station agent, and they looked around to face the muz- zles of two rifles. A third bandit broke the door and entered. He then held the two. men covered with a revolver while the other bandits entered the building. After tying the guard and agent the rob bers shot the safe with dynamite, took the money and fled.

Shreveport, Lap May 14.-Thirty dead and 200 injured is a conservative esti- mate of the fatalities caused by the tor nado which swept through Northwest Louisiana yesterday evening, destroying three small towns and leaving wrecked homes and ruined crops in a path a mile wide and 50 miles long. The dead at Gil- liam, which had about 200 inhabitants, number 13, while at Bolinger the known death list is six. These two towns are about 15 miles apart, and nothing has been learned of the work of the storm in the country between.
 At Elmor, a small town near Gillian, several houses were destroyed, and it is not known how many people perished. Several of the dead were brought to Shreveport on the relief train from Gill liam this morning and the hospitals and sanitariums are crowded with injured, Gillian are:

 The injured at Bolinger number about 40 persons some of whom have been brought here. Of these it is believed that not more than three or four will die.
 Only two houses were left at Gillian, where the force of the storm was great est Mrs. Gardner was killed by the falling of timbers of her home and the other members of the family were bruised under the debris, but were ev- tricated A flood of rain following the tornado made the work of rescue very difficult in the darkness.
 A relief train was sent to Gillian from Shreveport last night and returned this morning at daylight bringing several or the dead and many wounded. Another train was fitted out today and reached the stricken town this afternoon. but has not yet returned. Prompt steps have been taken to supply all who are in need.
 oil City, the first town struck, was badly wrecked but no one hurt. Its course was north, and as it passed, 1t gathered in force until it reached Gill liam, gradually spending it's strength as it neared the Arkansas line.
