Case Of. Alexander Mckenzie Serves
as Precedent.

Washington. Jan. People mere
who are interested in the question OF
the presidents right to pardon Samuel
Gonlpers and other officers of the fed
GRAFTON Of labor have recently been
searching records of the department OF
Justice and find ample precedent for
such action.
Records show that this power was
exercised by the president in 1901 In
the case of Alexander Mckenzie of
North Dakota. who while in Alaska
was sentenced to Imprisonment for
contempt of court by Judge Arthur
Moves Of Nome. The president directed
Senator Knox. then attorney general
and soon to be secretary Of state. to
give him an opinion on the case, and
Mr.. Knox declared that he had full
power to grant pardon in the Nc
Kenzie case. Mckenzie, however, had
served part OF his sentence, and the
president RENTED the remainder Of the
sentence.
Senator McCumber was active in
McKenzie's behalf at that time, and
filed brief in support of the conten-
ton that the president had power to
pardon in contempt cases. Since then
probably a dozen persons sentenced to
Imprisonment for contempt of court
have been pardoned by the president
on authority of the Knox opinion in
the Mckenzie case.

part OF the house with the kitchen;
still it is shut OF by two doors, a
provision that seems necessary to shut
out kitchen noises and the odors Of
cooking.
English and Canadian houses, the
more pretentious ones, almost invari-
ably have direct connection between
the front door and the back part Of
the house without going through the
living rooms. This plan has not pre-.
vailed to - same extent In the
United States, but there are good
many people who like to have the
front hall and the kitchen connected.
Every woman is born with natural
desire to keep servant, and every
woman expects to do so some time
in the future, and they expect her to
answer the door bell. The fact that
80 per cent. of them never reach the
height of their ambition does not ap'
pear to lessen feminine sentiment in
this respect. However, passageway
of this kind probably is just as con-
venient and just as desirable for the
lady herself as for any help that she
may employ.
There is a splendid corner In the
front hall for a hat rack and umbrella
stand, an old-fashioned article OF fur
niture that is just about as popular as
ever. Notwithstanding the efforts that
have been frequently made by fashion
mon gers to do away with 1t.
The living room, IL by 16 feet, with
fireplace in one corner, is, Of course,
the main room in the house and this
is where good housekeeper win ex-
ert special efforts to make the room
comfortable and attractive. 1t is large
enough to offer splendid opportunities.
This plan of laying out the lower
part of a house has many things to
recommend it. It gives the best side
of the house to the living room and
dining room. They are both corner
! rooms with good windows and unob-
structed light, while the smaller kitch-
en- and front hall leave room on the
other side at the rear for splendid
pantry and a good vestibule.

A gambrel or curb roof house is
shown In this design. There is econ
omy in building roof like this be-
cause OF the extra space in the sec
ond story that may be utilized for
bedrooms 1t is common to make
the break in the roof on level with
the ceiling of the upper rooms, and
the lower pitch of the roof is steep
enough so the lath and plaster may
be put directly on the rafters, and
the wall space so treated is so nearly
perpendicular that you hardly notice
the bend in the two sides Of the
rooms.
In preparing these rooms the side
wall paper extends to the ceiling just
the same as though the walls were
built. perpendicular in the usual way,
and the side wall paper usually is a
little darker than the ceiling, which
makes contrast. and this contrast
is deepened by border that is dark
err than either the upper or lower wall
paper.
yoarc ovo rucb roofa looked very
odd and people had to learn to like
them, but 1t seems to be fact that
utility usually grows in favor. 1t has
been the case, at any rate. with gam
brel roofs until they have been adopt
ed for some of the best houses In
different parts of the country
Another advantage in roof OF this
kind is that you can get considerable
width without using long rafters, and

The Girl and the Lobster.

Dorando Pietri, at one of the many
Italian banquets given in his honor
in New York, talked about profession
al athletics.
"Amateurism is, no doubt more ro-
mantle than professionalism" he said,
'sbut we live in an unromantic age.
"Only the other night, at one of
our gayest restaurants, I over-zfifff

heard dialog that illustrated forci-

ut was late. At the table next to
mine a rich young Italian contractor
was supping with beautiful young
girl AS the young girl played with
the stem of her wine glass, heard her
murmur:
"It is true, isn't it, that you love
me, and me only?'
Eyes said the young man. tho this
lobster is certainly mighty good"

Mason City. Jan. Eighteen years
as a Sunday school missionary in one
ing ten counties; Sunday schools or
ganized, 274 total membership, 49,
8S6; Sunday schools aided, 1928; Bibles
distributed, 1915; sermons delivered,
1854; conversions, 3.191; Sunday
school conventions, 237; homes visited,
1924: miles Travelled, S5.724; is brief
resume Of the record of Rev. r. r.
Stivers, Of this city.
Mr.. Stivers represents the American
Sunday School union, and has under
his charge ten counties in this section
of Iowa. A glance at the resume OF
his work might lead some misin-
formed person to believe that Rev. Mr..
Stivers had concluded he had done
enough, but such Is not the case, for
he is still in the harness, makes many
visits over his large parish and will
soon enter series of evangelistic
meetings northwest OF here to be con-
Quoted by himself.
The work which he is engaged in
is by all odds the most effective way
of pioneering in religious fields in
vogue today. He has seen whatever
growth there has been in religious and
Christian sentiment turnout the
country His work has been for the
sake of others with little regard OF
self. How many Of the over $4,000
homes he has visited were frightened
and helped by him all the eternal rec
ords will only disclose but there have
been thousands. To talk with him
for an hour of his work. to have him
tell of the triumphs Of the gospel in
the hearts Of men and women who
have come under the direction and
teaching, would convert any one to the
missionary spirit.
One would think that with dis
tribution OF nearly 5000 Bibles over
ten counties of this great state of
the cream of intelligence and civili-
zation would supply one for at least
every home. But such is not the case.
He still finds homes and some of
them within FIVE miles of Mason
City where the Bible cannot be
found and where even the courtesies
of civilization are wanting.
This one missionary has done as
much as the millions Of money put
into factories and business enter
prises in the ten counties he has for
a parish to lift men to a better
knowledge of life. Think OF the
thousands he has come in contact
with as a direct representative of the
gospel. If he met only the average
five members in each of the $4,000
homes visited he would have been in
personal touch with $4,000 people
and 1t is the custom to hold a short
religious service in each home. That
number has been the size of the con-
gregation which he has taught within
each little circle to say nothing of
the multitude he has come in touch
with in meetings and in other ways.
He has travelled far enough In his
missionary journeys to go around the
world thrice He has given away
thousands OF Bibles and from his or
ganized schools have grown a large
number Of thriving churches.

just as we'll have both. If you have
any serious objections to gambrel
roof, by all means select something
else. There are roofs enough to please
everybody, but before discarding a
roof of this kind look into the roof
problem thoroughly and find out
whether your prejudice is well found
ed or not. Study the gable PROPOSE
ton. Every architect and builder has
wrestled with the problem Of how to
make the end of a gable attractive.
The higher you push it up the more
conspicuous it is and the more diff
cult to dress 1t up in a presentable
manner.
The size and shape of this house
works nicely into six rooms: three
rooms with a good hall down stairs
and three bedrooms with a bathroom
upstairs, and the rooms are all good

New York, Jan. 1.-The intention Of
James Stillman to resign as president

culated yesterday, and confirmed in
reliable quarters, and soon after the
annual meeting on Jan. -, Frank A..

absence for the last three years, will
be chosen to succeed him. Mr.. Still
man is now abroad.
Mr.. vanderlip did not care to COM
ment on the report. Mr.. Stillman's re-
tirement has been anticipated, for with
the exception Of the panic period, he
has not latterly been as active as
formerly in financial affairs. He re-
signed from many boards. including
those of the Hartman lines, and in
every case he has been succeeded by

the roof is extra strong because it
supports and braces Itself from the
different angles.
On windy days you have often felt
a wooden house tremble; that is gen
orally the fault of the roof. A roof
should not be a burden to house.
The roof should be SO constructed that
it helps to brace the house from every
direction. In building house the
foundation is the first and most impor-
tant consideration, but the roof is a
very close second You can't have a
good house very long without good
roof over it

looks for utility; it is not necessary.
