IDEAS
{. FOR THE TABLE

Sci oF FLOWER HOLDERS FOR THE TABLE
Red is the Christmas color, and the
more vivid a table is the more appro-
pirate. Formerly the tone was given
by holly and red ribbon, but lately the
poinsettfa has superseded everything.
If possible have a huge mass of the
natural flowers In the middle OF the
table. These look lovely when arrang-
ed in one Of the miniature peach bas-
kets to be had at the florists, gilded IL
desired. The effect Is heightened by
having a bunch of ~poinsettia at each
plate.
Ii n cannot afford the real flowers
or but a few of them they a be
made from paper so well as to escape
detection, especially If mixed with a
few natural blossoms.
The candle shades should be paper
poinsettins, edged with red bead fringe.
The ices may be served In poinsettia
cups on standards representing stem
and leaves.
For more elaborate effects garlands
of paper polnsettia can be bought and
festooned over the windows or from
the chandelier to corners Of the room.
1t ear also be draped on tablecloth.
For q place card use q p~oinsettia
blossom, with a tiny doll head SET In the
cup of flowers. Should one not wish
to use the ~poinsettia plants as favors

A TIGER In wales.

bsHOg tU WAIVE
Some years ago II was reported that
4 tiger had escaped from a travelling
menagerie at Brecon, In Wales. Man
glod sheep were said to mark ita
course across country to Llandrindod
Wells, some farmers lost their dogu
and on market days at Builth, Brecon.
Penybopt and Llanmarrach the wild
beast was the center of rumor. Coun-
try schools were closed because par
ents feared to let heir children 60
along the roads, and bands of armed
men sought to hunt the tiger down.
This state Of terror lasted q week.
though no person was found who had
actually seen the tiger, but only people
who had heard that some one else. -
and so forth. Then the truth was
hunted down and the origin of the
whole affair discovered at the remote
hamlet of Eberedw. One night the
schooImaster there, In Diminishing the
children, playfully had warned them
not to loiter in going home lest q tiger
should get them.
The scared children accepted the
warning as real and FASTENED home
with stories Of a savage beast lurking
behind hedges or growing In ravines.
And SO the story grew. as stories do
under the culture Of imagination.

Texarkana, July 8.-To furnish ex- ercise for the horses in the fire de partment and to lay the foundation for better streets in Texarkana, Fire Chief J. s. Hussey will build two King split-loe drags to be used while exer- cising the horses.

 TO QUIT TOBACCO
After Fifty-two Years Use of Weed, Judge Malone, Pioneer Hotel Man,
 ''Swears Off, Friends
 Follow His Footsteps.

Waldron. Ark. July 6.--Judge Free Malone, who is the oldest hotel man in the United States, according to L. H. Moore, ex-president of the Arkan- sas Travellers. having conducted the Continental Hotel at Waldron since 1869, has signed an agreement with friends to stop the use of tobacco. This is how it started
 One morning recently Judge Malone was sitting on his hotel veranda with his friends, Samuel J. Record and Daniel W. Adams. Mir Record was supervisor of the Arkansas National Forest until July 1, when he resigned and was succeeded by MT. Adams.
 Each of the trio was smoking a ci- gar, when MT. Record said: Judge how long have you been smokingY'
 'Fifty-two years, replied the fla nous old boniface.
 Well, " said Record, suppose we cut it out.
 All right, replied the judge.
 The three men then went to the county court house, where they were joined by B. H. Johnston and J. T. Simpson, who also agreed to quit to- bacco. An agreement was drawn up to the satisfaction of all parties. It was signed, witnessed and sworn be- fore Circuit Clerk Duncan.
