ping of 1t of with furniture and the furnishing of it with hangings and bric-d-brac. making 1t the nome beauti- ful as well as the house livable-is the culmination of the general scheme of house decoration.
 One of the primary questions is that of suitability, and 1t is not a difficult thing to determine whether a piece of furniture IS suitable-whether 1t will be harmonious-whether 1t will be durable
 First of all, furniture IS broadly des- ignated as living room furniture, bed room furniture, dining-room furniture, den furniture or odd pieces, and some thought and study must be given to its purpose and position.

 Breakfast can be digeSted much easier and better If 1t IS taken at table rather than in bed, if the staying in bed is matter of incidence merely.

ELLSWORTH GETS EXCITED.
Dispatch Says the Fans Don't Like
the Rules.
IRON Thursday. s pailyl

This dispatch appears in the Salina
Journal:
ellsworth, Kansas, July S0.-The
people Of this city are highly indig-
nant over the termination Of the base
ball game between the Ellsworth
team and the Abilene boys which
was played at Abilene yesterday aft
ernoon. A large delegation from here
went down to Abilene this morning
to see what can be done about the
matter, for the conclusion OF the
game was certainly an injustice to
our boys, when the umpire called the
game in the sixth inning when the
Abilene team had the long end of the
score, 1t being 2 to 4. The report
comes to Ellsworth that the umpire
called the game in the sixth on ac-
count Of darkness when the sun was
still shining at 6:45. In this inning
when the game was called there were
no outs, Ellsworth had two men on
bases, and there we're two or three
balls on the man at the bat, when at
this time the umpire stepped in and
held a few seconds consultation, then
called the game, when Ellsworth had
every chance in the world to win out,
1t was absolutely unfair to the Els
worth team land lie town does not
intend to stand for it," t
The Ellsworth bunch and Umpire
Siegler went to Enterprise to lay
their case before President Hoff-
man. After hearing the kick Mr.
Hoffman asked seigler why he called
the game. Because" said he, ut
was SO dark could not tea balls
from strikes" That settled It, as the
umpire is the sole Judge Of weacner
conditions and the national rules de-
fine his rights. The protest was not
allowed.
-Four o'clock games will probably
be the rule hereafter.

Il seems to have lot Of country
village ways. For instance Charles
Case and Frank Parent were in at

fun cheering the Abilenes and ioshing
the salina players. Manager Quigley
sent Leonard and Hendrix, two of his
players, to the grand stand with in
structions to throw the two Abilene
men out. OF course they failed, then
returned to the diamond. Then g.
H. Myers, one Of the salina teams
owners, went to the stand and talk
ed back" to the Abileneites for about
20 minutes. All of which are marks
Of jay town. 1t is but fair TO say
that the other two managers OF the
salina team and several businessmen
apologlzed for the incident About
100 AbiIeneites attended the game
and all were surprised to see Salina
stoop to such tactics because visitors
stood up Tor their home players. II
siegler we're on his Job as umpire
he would have benched Quigley and
the two players who interfered.
Not many went to salina today for
the ball game, though a big crowd
had intended to attend. The Jay
treatment Abilene visitors receive on
the salina ball grounds has lessened
the enthusiasm Of the fans for going
there.
