Yet it is not an invitation to rough
it, for the wisdom of those who plan
the bungalows has seen to it that not
all comfort is sacrificed, so there are
a host of those conveniences of life
that are essential to happiness or pref
ty nearly so.
Bungalow Has First Call.
Once seekers for vacations used to
talk of shore cottages, of Italian villas
and of colonial mansions, but today,
especially in the month of June, it is
the bungalow that above all kinds of
dwellings comes into the mind of the
family with wealth enough to look for
a little relief from the rigors of the
summer months.
Bungalow is term that is Indian
in derivation. 1t was applied original
ly to the little one-story house that
was to be found in the Bengal dis
trict of India.
It had it's growth in the natural
climatic conditions of the country. 1t
was a rambling building that never
got above one story and half, and
often only one story.
The architecture was simplicity per-
sonified, but Europeans who came to
the country, found this kind of a

LURE OF THE BUNGALOW
Is WORKING ITS SPELL
Makes It's Strongest Appeal to Those Who Love Summer
Comfort.

The lure of the bungalow is now
exercising its sway.
Vacation that used to mean a long
trip across the ocean or to the noun
tains now spells to many a change of
residence from the city home to the
little one-story cottage at seashore or
mountain.
With the flowers of spring comes
the impulse to trek from the city. and
make way to the rustic surround
ings where trolley cars nor railroad
trains never come to disturb the sweet
comfort of the man who has spent
eight months of the year in the tur-
moil of the city.
The bungalow is lulling to the soul
1t is kind of residence that produces
the ideal vacation spirit, and in in
creasing numbers the wealth of the
nation is turning to little places that
once would have been thought made
quate.
The bungalow is the newest word in
rusticity it is the closest mankind
comes to getting next to the soil. It
is the call of Mother Nature to get
him away from bricks and asphalt,
from elevators and telephones.

Especially is this the case in the
South. All over in cities Of new
growth, like Dallas or Houston, Tex;
Savannah, Ga; Mobile, Ala; the
bungalow is seen in increasing num-
bers. Along the beautiful avenues
leading out to its suburbs, New Or
leans has a host of bungalows, row
after row along palm lined streets,
and the new comfort that has been
attained by the use of these homes
has had the effect of producing a
great real estate movement, for many
who were never content to live in the
city during the warm months now
find they can do so in comparative
comfort.
The lure of the bungalow is like
love, thoughts turn to it in June, only
unlike the tender passion young and
old of both sexes, in addition to young
men, find themselves under the fasci.
nation.

departure from this hard and fast sys-
tenn was impossible.
Therefore the bungalow, which
throws form to the winds, and which
does nothing more than provide a ram
bling collection of rooms of all sizes
and plans, made an instant hit with
those who like little originality even
in the plan of their residence.
Something Worth While.
For one thing the bungalow brings
the porch into it's own, and this is
something worth while, especially in
the good old summer time when only
by getting in the open can the full adj
vantage of a breeze be reaped.
In the ideal bungalow, the house is
all porch, it runs front and back, right
and left. When there is a half-story
it has a gabled roof so that all the
upper chambers have most attractive
and funny sloping and cornered CELL
ings.
Often the side porch extensions are
taken into the house and made rooms
with easement windows, the back is
made to correspond with the front,
with gabled roof and dormer windows,
and the first thing the architect knows
he has built house which is the very
last word in warm weather happiness

HANGMAN MEETS
MYSTERIOUS end
Man Who Executed Haymarke1
Rioters HOunded to Lonely
Death by Anarchists.
ODD CHAIN OF FATALITIES

Mason City, Iowa, June 19.-Hound
ed for seventeen years by the repeat
ed death threats of anarchists from
every part of the civilized world, Wis
tied at last by the same CHASTITY fatal
ty that has inflicted like mysterious
end in the same vicinity upon two OF
his fellow officers of the notorious
Haymarket riots a year ago, ID. W.
Nickerson, formerly resident of Chi
cago, the man who hanged the Hay
market rioters, was found dead near
here in his country home.
The inquest, which the son Of the
dead man demanded, revealed cir
cumstances no different from those
which attended the death of his two
fellow officers in this same county
three years ago. After making tests
for the most virulent and elusive poi
sons known to science, the coroner re-
turned for third time in this remark
able chain of condolences the verdict
of death by apoplexy
At the time of the Haymarket riots,
where Nickerson as deputy sheriff
was the executioner, S. F. Hanchett
was the sheriff, and w. H. Gleason
the chief clerk of Cook county. All
of these men had country homes in
Floyd county, Iowa, where Nickerson
died. Both of the other men were
found dead within three days of each
other, and the coroner returned the
same verdict Of apoplexy.
Nickerson left Chicago in 1892 fol
the West. He was already the object
of hundreds of threatening letters on
account of his work the year before.
He bought home in Floyd county
and struggled there TO lose his mem.
cries and evade the persecution OF
the anarchists
On the evening prior to his death
he had read his paper and at about
O'Clock retired. At $50 o'clock next
morning Charles Miles went to his
room and found him dead
Mr.. Nickerson was a genial, affable
man, and made friends of the entire
community.

He walks from his bathroom across
couple of feet of hail, and he is at
the table.
Then he wants to sit down and read
his paper, and once more the whole
operation is made possible merely by
a transit of the same floor out on to
the porch which surrounds all parts
of the house, and where at all times
some shady spot is possible, for there
never was yet sun so malignant that
it could be on all sides of bungalow
at the same time.
Many of those who though possess
ed of modest means still have the
bungalow habit go away for the sum-
mer months to their bungalow without
taking help.
For these the construction of the
house is an unalloyed joy.
stair Climbing Cut Out.
From all the stair climbing that is
, imperative at home they are exempted
here.
Mother doesn't have to run up and
down stairs to get the baby, to make
the beds, to perform thousand and
one household duties that consume
her attention while at home. The
same plan, the one floor idea, is her
comfort and consolation for being
without maid
Many a woman who has spent the
summer months in a bungalow comes
back to a normally constructed resi-
dence in such a frame of mind that
she is never happy until her abiding
place the year around has been put
through on bungalow lines.
This is one of the reasons why ali
over the country the bungalow idea
is making it's way even for city homes.

+ OVER THE NORTHWEST !
FIVE MEN IRISH IN BARN FIRE
LARGE LIVERY BARN IN HEART
OF DULUTH BURNS.
Conflagration Set by Brazier's Torch
Loss Is Near $4,000.

Duluth, Mimi, June 21.-The Board
of Trade livery barn on West First
street, near the government building,
was Quilted by fire Saturday after
noon about 4:30, and five men per
ished and about $4,000 worth of
property was destroyed.
There were 165 horses in the barn
1T the time of the fire, and nearly 100
were burned to death.
The fire originated from a brazier's
torch, in the rear on the First street
floor The blacksmith was engaged
at brazing wheel on hack, and the
fire was communicated to the floor.
The fire was confined to a small space
and Captain James Sullivan, the pro-
prietor of the livery, and one or two
others, started to put the fire out, but
it spread with marvellous rapidity.
The battle of the five men to save
the dumb beasts in their keeping,
many of them fine horses, and their
subsequent fight to save themselves
when they realized, too, late, that they
must save themselves, can only be
guessed. That they at last were driv-
en- forward by the smoke is evident,
for they were ell found near the foot
of the schultz. 1t appears they tried
to get up that way instead of into the
alley.
The building was owned by Barrett
& Zimmerman, of st. Paul, and they
and Captain Sullivan owned the
horses and vehicles. The building
cost 100000 and was insured for prac-
tically it's whole value. The horses
and rigs were owned by Captain Sui
Ivan and Barrett & Zimmerman, and
the insurance on them was $4,000.

An Ideal Modern Bungalow.

The bungalow is not always the
modest little affair that the fiction of
the real estate man represents it to
be. Up in New England they have q
habit Of saying that bungalow which
costs more than $500 is extravaganza,
and there are undoubtedly many
which have been built within that
figure.
But by way of contrast there are
bungalows which have eight rooms
and cost as much as $4,000.
In the mind of the man with a
is a bungalow beside river, prefera-
bly, with a den that looks out over
the waves, affording constantly beauti-
full pictures, whether the waters are
dimpling in the summer sun or are
dark and mysterious in the rays of
the moonlight.
Artistic and Poetic.
The bungalow by the river suggests
something artistic and poetic. The
imaginative can think of Stevenson in
such a home, or Shelley or Byron
writing great prose or poetry. Elm
mating all the snobbery and the pose
that often mars ones admiration for
those who live in bungalows, and
scorn those who do not, there is an
