Mr. T. J. Slater, the popular Rock
Island engineer, was visited last week
by his vito aud family from Washing
ton, Ind. Willie here they were en-
tertained with several trips to the salt
bath house which they patronized
greatly. The most delightful affair
was the basket picnic given at that
popular resort last Saturday. Dinner
and supper were served in the good
old picnic fashion. Among the pas
times were ggames, kodaking and a
swim in the pool. Mr.. White, man
ager Of the bath house, did not forget
the big swing, which was enjoyed by
the young folks. After an enjoyable
supper, the return trip home was
made, with the wagon gaily decorat-
ed with palmettoes. Those enjoying
this outing were Mr.. and Mrs. Slater,
Mesdames VanDyke, Sanders of Ell
Dorado, Rugg and mother; Misses
Flossie and Lizzie Slater, Katherine
and Carrie VanDyke and Rugg, Ben
and Tom s.Rugg, Ed Bobbett, David

Burglar Entered Stores.

Wednesday night about o'clock
a burglar entered the jewelry store
of w. A, Mashaw and took away
from the safe the box containing the
money, about, $40. The theft entered
from a rear door of the store, while
Mr.. Mashaw was out in front of the
building talking to some one. He
heard noise and rushed in grabbed
his pistol which was in his desk near
the front door, but before he could
reach the back room the burglar had
made good his escape. The theft
threw down three or four checks on
the bottom of the safe. evidently
knowing they would do him no good,
but detect him. In another drawer
there was about $3.50 belonging to a
milliner who shares portion of the
store, but the robber in his haste
overlooked this amount.
The store of S. J, Harper, next to
Mr.. Mashaw, was also entered about
the same hour evidently by the same
person or persons, but nothing was
taken therefrom, as Mr.. Harper had
returned to the store from supper to
check up his books. The theft sue
ceeded in effecting his entrance
through transom in the rear of the
store. Before they could get their
booty Mr.. Harper entered the front,
frightening them away. The back
door was found open through which
the burglar made his exit. Mr.. Har'
per found a plank put up to the tran.
som, where he entered the store.
Mr.. Harper said he did not see him
but heard him go out. 5
The robbery at the Mashaw store
was bold one at such an hour, wher
several of the business houses remain
ed yet open end people still out or
the streets. No clue to the thief has
been discovered, and it seems likely
they will escape detection.

 found convenient for use in rounded spaces; sloyd knives may be purchased at most paint shops. There are several mediums that may be employed for sten- cling on fabrics, and different crafts men have their preferences. Some very effective designs on white silk have been done with water color, but one could hardly expect this to be very permanent, and would not do at all on articles that may require laundering or cleansing. Experienced artists, who have tried the stencils, have used oil co1ors, the medi- um with which they are most familiar, and find them in many respects satisfac- tory. The tube colors are thinned with turpentine to the proper fluid" consis- tency, and these colors, after they have dried, may be laundered by putting them through a warm, and not very strong studs, made with pure soap. Rinse and press immediately. When ready to begin the stenciling mix enough color for the whole work, as it IS hard to get the same shade twice, and try to do the entire piece of stenciling at one setting, as the colors will change if left stand ing.
 A third medium, and one that is sim plest to use and gives the most satis- factory results, Is the prepared dyes

der to adapt 1t to the width of the run ner" If the thistle were selected for the scheme" of the room, the design ar ranged in the same manner would form a capital frieze for the walls, which might be tinted in the delicate soft gray suggested by the crash. Having laid out the dimensions, whether high or broad, draw the design without think ing of 1t as stencil, but see that 1t has good spacing and graceful lines, then break 1t up into stencil form by drawing in the "ties" that are to hold 1t together. Be sure that the "ties" are we'll connected, and that each important position of the design is surrounded by the background; unless the ties are drawn in properly the stencil will not hold together.
 The first illustration shows the cut stencil for the thistle design. The veining of the leaves suggests the posi- ton of the ''ties." The manner of "ty- ing" the full round 'ca1yx of the thistle blossom is suggested by the pointed out line at the top and, carrying out this plan, 1t is crossed by narrow ''ties" that cut 1t into diamonds.
 Regular stencil-board Is somewhat difficult to procure, except in large cities, but very satisfactory substitute may be made at home by using heavy manila or drawing paper, and treating it with coat of shellac. Any heavy paper or lightweight cardboard, that has enough body to lie flat and not tear too readily, will answer the purpose, and besides the shellac there are several homemade methods of rendering it waterproof Linseed oil, rubbed on until it penetrates the paper, is one method, another is to melt lump of parafi1 or a paraffin candle in pan, and draw the paper through it; the paraffin may also be applied by first rubbing it on a warm iron, then ironing the paper, re- beating until it is thoroughly coated on both sides After the design is traced on the stencil paper, the cutting will be made easier if it is placed on a marble or glass slab. A sloyd knife or a very sharp penlcnife must be used, and the hard, smooth surface under the paper permits clean, sharp cutting line. Small curved, pointed scissors will be

assuring the same tint until the work is completed. In making large pieces, like sets of portieres, this fact will be appreciated, as the stenciling may be done at ones leisure, with the certain ty that the color will be the same throughout, avoiding the greatest draw back in the use of oil colors. 1t Is only fair to the manufacturers of the dyes, as we'll as to oneself, to follow the di- rections that accompany the dyes. Ii cotton cloth is used, get the dyes for cotton, in order that the result may be satisfactory. The stiff bristle brushes ot various sizes are the kind to use, and have a different. brush for, each color also have separate sat1cers into which the colors are to be poured
 Stretch and pin the material securely to a table or large board, and, unless it is heavy goods, it will be best to have plotting paper under it, in order to ab- sorb any extra moisture and prevent il from spreading beyond the outlines of the stencil design. Secure the stencil by driving pins in, tack-fashion, at the corners, and be certain 1t is straight and in correct position Drive pins at any other points of either the "ties' or the outline, where it seems necessary, in order to make it lie flat and close to the cloth. Have a piece of muslin, on which to try the brushes to see that they are charged with the right amount of dye They must be rubbed almost dry before putting them on the design. Hold the brush upright and brush back and forth with a firm, steady stroke. In the thistle design the leaves and the long central stem are done in green, the calyx of the thistle in light brown and the tops in pale purple.
 In the pair of sash curtains shown the stencil is conventionalized design of violets, done on china silk, and the effect is very dainty.
