A VERY PLEASANT HOME.
All Because OF the Way He Solved the
Closet Space Problem.

must tell all my brothers how my
wife and have solved the problem
which so bothcrs those who dwell
where there Is but little closet room.
With one dressing ease between us.
there was not room for all our things.
As TO the closets. they were crammcd
full. and even under the bed there
were many hat boxes. SO purchased
another dressing ease.
then took all my clothes. which
had been crowding my wifc's In her
dressing case. aud arranged them in
my own. In the top drawer put my
handkcrchicfs. collars and ties and
all those other little articles OF finery
which every man loves So much. In
the second drawer | placed my shirts
and underwear and devoted the lower
drawer to my trousers. neatly folded,
and my hosiery. My wife was de-
lighted. MS II gave her her own dresser
all to herself and relieve! the closet
somewhat
But In day or so the new plan
proved to have few defects, so at my
wife's suggestion | empticd one Of the
upper drawers In my dresser. putting
its contents into the other and allowed
my wife 20 use the now vacant recep-
tacle for n few Of her jabots, scarfs.
etc. The second day 1t was decided
that my shirts and trousers could oc-
cupy the same drawer. the lowest one.
NO this was fixed. and into the second
drawer my wife moved few OF her
petticoats and such things.
Soon finding that | was still using
too much space. permitted her 10 put
my collars and such effects into the
lowest drawer with my trousers. etc.,
thus giving her both of the upper
drawers and the next and still leav'
ing me plenty OF room in the one bot
tom drawer.
Since then, however. | have found
that do not require SO much space
for my few things. 40 have taken them
out Of the bottom drawer and packed
them into a hat box, which keep
under the bed. thereby giving my
wife all the drawers In my dressing
case. find the present arrangement
very satisfactory, as all | have to do
now IS 10 empty the hat box ON the
bed when want anything in It and
then. when have made my selection.
sweep the other articles back into
place.
In this way . have solved the dress
ing case problem, and everything IL
quite pleasant in our home.-Paul West

is not that class of man who is set in

interest. Harry Furniss, the Punch

amusing stories of artistic inaccu-

eight short stories and two SER

DAWSON ASSISTS
 JOHN BRODERICK

Springfield, TIL, September 19.-Former State Senator Thomas Dawson of Chi cago arrived in Springfield this evening and will appear in the Sagamon county circuit court Tuesday morning as coun- gel for State Senator John Broderick of Chicago under indictment in this county for bribery.
 Tuesday morning specifications will be flied in support of the motion filed some time ago by the attorneys for Broderick to quash the indictment. At that time the court will rule on the specifications.
 The indictment against Frederick is an immediate result of the confessions made by Senator D. w.

In his congfession Holtslaw said he had received S2500 from Frederick for his vote for William Lorimer for United States senator and additional s7o0, presumably his share in the alleged Jackpot of the forty-sixth general as- sembly. Holtslaw was called upon 10 testify regarding the furniture dcal," this angle of the investigation resulting in the returning of indictments against Senators Holtslaw, Stanley c. Pember-
