very beautiful and effective. One color
scheme that looks very well is cement
plaster painted yellow and the exposed
timber stained dark brown. A green
slate roof goes very well with this.
Another good effect is secured by leav-
ing the cement plaster the natural
gray and staining the exposed timber
work green.
The interior trim is designed in har-
mony with the exterior. Straight lines
and square corners with holdings of
very simple design are used through
out. The first floor is finished in plain
sawed red oak, and the second floor in
red birch. The oak is stained for
golden oak" finish, and is rubbed to
a dull wax luster. The second floor
rooms are in the mahogany and white
enameled finish, birch being the best
OF all woods for it.
The cost of this house, using most
thorough construction and high grade
materials, is estimated at $4,000. This
will include hot water heat and light
ing fixtures.

CLUNG TO THEIR RELIGION
Recent Revolution in Turkey Has Re-
vealed Whole Neiehborhoods Of
Christians.

When Islam swept Asia Minor
whole Christian neighborhoods were
forced to accept the religion of Mo-
manned that they might escape the
sword. Most of these converts &C
cepted only the outward shell of
Islam. so that there are today whole
tribes outwardly Mohammedan, but
in reality more Christian than
heather. A number of tribes among
the Kurds, for instance, are the de-
scendants of Armenians thus nominal
ly converted to Islam centuries ago.
Since the new constitution of Tur-
key processes to grant religious lib
erty many of these people are at
tempting to shake off the hated yoke
of Islam and the Young Turk govern
ment finds itself face to face with the
question what attitude it should show
toward these attempts. At present
the Stayriots, as they are called, are
making great efforts to obtain their

This Wooing Didn't Win.

In a wild west exhibition at Coney

girl, although the latter did not re.

RIVERS, AS RATE REGULATORS
Possibilities in Competition Well
Known by Railway Managers,
Says Senator Clark.

Senator Clark Of Arkansas. perhaps
humorously, suggests that the nation
al government, instead of making ap-
preparations to improve the Missouri,
might spend the money to build two
railroads paralleling the river. With
out going into the probabilities of
this original idea it is enough to say
that the senator loses sight of one of
the largest considerations in the case,
and that Is the establishment of low
freight rates on stable basis. Even
in their present unimproved condition
the navlgable rivers of the Mississippi
valley are some protection against ex-
cessive railroad charges, the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat says. The rivers.
though much as nature made them,
offer possibilities in competition, and
railway managers are not unmindful
OF the point where freight rates would
arouse the river interest to action,
Senator Clark does not say what
should be done with the two railroads
when completed. They would be a
large order If used to initiate the pol
icy Of government ownership. If leased
to private Corporations, the freight
rates would be all that the traffic
would bear. with the understanding
that the improvement of the Missouri
had been abandoned and the hope of
adequate river competition extin-
guished.

rope are put aside entirely In what
these antagonistic senators have to
say on the subject? What. in Senator
Burton's judgment, is the significance
of the fact that 9OOo0,OOO tons of
freight passed through the lakes last
year? Lake channels have been deep
ened to % feet by government appro-
pr1ations and no one knows better
than Senator Burton, who has been an
enthusiast in getting public money
for the lakes, that the resulting com.
merce has increased beyond the esti-
mates of the most sanguine. Three
times as much shipping passes
through the 500 locks as through the
Suez canal. There are senators on
the committee who hold the MISSISSIPPI
pi and Missouri critically at arms
length as If the idea of deepening their
channels permanently were something
unique and peculiarly hazardous as |
financial and commercial undertaking. |
Is the trouble with such senators pref. |

WOMAN SIGNS TAFT'S NAME
President Delegates Power to Widow
Of Friend-Acquainted in
the Philippines.

president Taft has delegated the au.
thority TO afT1x his official signature
! to a woman, the widow of a former
eomrade in the government service
, in the Philippines. There Is In the
post the element of great trust and
the novelty of the delegation of an
unusual authority. But back of it
there is more. There is an insight
into the intimate side of the character
Of the chief executive, a side that is
large in its remembrance of old
friends and its loyalty to them.
The woman is Mrs. James A. LIE
Roy. The duty assigned to her is that
Of afixing the signature of the presi-
dent to the patents issued by the land
office.
When Mr.. Taft first went to the
Philippines there crossed over on the
same boat James A. Leroy and his
young wife. Mr.. Taft came to know
them well. Later Mr.. Leroy was sec
rotary to Dean Worcester, one of the
Philippine commissioners. But be-
fore leaving the States, Mr. Leroy had

this 1t devolved upon him to hand out
the news of the administration of the
islands. For some years he was
known as the Associated Press of the
Philippines"
Later Mr.. LeRoy's health failed, and
he returned to the States, going to
New Mexico to recuperate. From this
point he was appointed to place in
the consular service and served the
nation in Mexico for few years, and
there he finally died of tubercL .osis.
Mrs. Leroy and her three little chill
dren returned to their home in Pom
tiac, Mich. Yet the chief executive
never lost sight of them. For some
time he had been quietly on the look
out for cosy post in which he might
install the widow of his former asso-
ciate.

1t was all owing to the inheritance.

1t was all owing to the Inheritance
Miss Angelina Dobbins, spinster,
would have been resigned to a placid
nfe-existence in Hubbletown-cork-
screw curls. sallow complexion, silly
shipper and all-had not Fortune
tipped her brimming horn and given
unto the maiden lady both money and
thrifty little half-frightened wish to
be revenged upon a certain person.
Miss Angelina was 40 years of age
when crusty Reuben Doderfield, uncle
on the maternal side, passed on, leav-
Ing to his sole relative an accumula-
ton OF long somnolent dollars.
The obsequies over, the heiress
placed good man on the farm and
went back to her home town to
Wrestle with girlish ideas of ven
geance she had long thought hidden
away In the crypt of forgotten things.
And so it was that the natives of
Hubbletown awoke one clustering
morning to find the angular Miss Dob
bins a memory of yesterday. Nor had
the departed left one clue behind to
tell Of her whereabouts.
Hubbletown sat up and took notice.
1t was nine days wonder a startling
epoch in the staid history of the town.
For brief period there was talk of
abduction, elopement-here rumor
again touched upon the one romance

dressmakers and the wonderful de-
partment stores were accomplishing
| miracles.
From corkscrew curls and a severe
rope of hair capped with shell comb,
Miss Angelina's chestnut tresses were
transformed to modish waves, and the
sallowness was steamed from the we'll
shaped forehead and face. The lady's
blue eyes took on a vivacious sparkle
under the stimulus of the change, and
she walked with the elastic step and
springy stride of the woman of Dur.

Know, then. that Miss Angelina had
a purpose
Years ago, when the heiress was a
diffident damsel, man had come into
her life, a wonderful man, Angelina
had thought in the innocence of her
youthful heart, and she had listened to
his words Of love.
Bogart was a summer sojourner. a
youth from the city, sent by his ia.
Their to Hubbletown to be kept there
until he could forget an affection for
a woman that did not appeal to the
elder Bogart. 1t had been an easy mat
ter to forget, and the susceptible
heart of Tommy had laid it's message
before the shrine of this new love.
All OF which proves the limitations
of the sincerefor-the-moment youth
who asked Miss Angelina to marry
him, and went confidently home to ar
range matters with the pater.
You will wait for me, dearest?"
asked T. Bogart gently, preliminary
to starting for the home-bound train.
Forever, if necessary" the girl had
answered, and with a chaste kiss on
her brow the tickle Thomas had hied
away-and out of the life of the
maiden
But if Bogart was inconstant, Miss
Angelina was not. Letterless months
made 1t appear that she was to remain
true for all time to her promise.
