Prominent South Side Farmer Is
Shot and Robbed.

The deliberate murder of Will
4ller, a prominent young south
GSle farmer, and the loss of his
four horses and a wagon, were
discovered soon after seven o.
clock Thursday morning Of this
week, by his brother, Bert, VINO
had come over from their grand
mothers, Mrs. Bidelman, to as
SEst Will in doing some work on
the Dick farm, which Will had
leased. The last seen Of the
dead man alive was shortly be-
fore supper Wednesday, when he
was in the city on some business.
1t is evident that the deed was
committed along about 10 o'clock
for about that time some of the
ueighbOrs heard a shot, and about
an hour afterwards George Lud-
wig, who lives about mile south
of where Miller was living, in a
tent on the Dick farm, heard a
wagon driving south very rapidly
The indications are that Miller
was shot as he was lying on his
bed in the tent reading. The
shooting was done with a shot gur
and was fired at him from the
outside Of the tent, just where
the wall and the roof of the tent
join. 1t is evident that the man
was reading, because he was still
dressed in his working clothes,
and the lamp must have been lit
or the murderer could not have
taken the deliberate aim he evil
IDENTITY took. The bed on which
Miller was was next to the wall
of the tent, and he was lying at
tie further edge, probably five
feet from the muzzle of the gun.
From the blood that was on the
bed clothing and the pools on
the floor, it is likely that some
time elapsed after the shooting
before the body was dragged from
the tent, and placed just inside

And the archina skies are a perfect

Once in a while, mid clouds of doubt,
Faiths flirest stars come peeping

Oar paths lead down by the meadows

Where the sweetest blossoms nod
and smile,
And We lay aside our cross OF care,
Once in a while
Once in q while within our own
We feel the hand Of steadfast

Once in a while we feel the tone

The Restful Home
By Bailey Willard
For The Palisadian. "

For The PahSad1an.
Little or nothing was known in a
general way about household decora
ton and furnishing in this country
twenty-five years ago, when the Crayon
portrait hung in the fligreed and be-
tidied parlor and the pillow-sham shed
its glory over the bedroom Even to-
day not one in hundred people who
live in modern houses know much
about these important matters
Judged by the way they decorate
and furnish their rooms, the great
majority of householders have given
little study to the question of artistic
interiors. In house after house one
falls over superhuous furniture, most
of which is making faces at walls and
curtains with which it has not an
idea in common. Inharmony and in
congruity abound in drawing-room
and library, and in the dining-room
the garish effects, so horribly out of
place, jar the artistic sense at every
turn. People who have plenty Of
money" often load their floors and
walls with costly but inconsistent and
obtrusive objects of cart and utility"
that serve neither purpose and would
look far better in the scrap-heap.
What is the primary idea of home,
anyway? Is it a place where ones
eye is to be distracted by kaleido-
scopic effects, vivid contrasts, things
that stir the imagination and keep it
in state of nervous disquiet? No;
home is above all things a place to
rest. Well, then, in heavens name,
Mr.. Get-Rich-Q Quick, you who go
home from downtown tired out by
your day of buying and selling, why
don't you see to it that in your home
Palisadian. [volume] (Cliffside Park, N.J.) 1906-current, 1910-09-01
P ALIS N

you have reStful surroundings? If you
were to take four fths of the glitter
ing junk, the tawdry vases, the mir
rors, the heavy draperies, gilt chairs
and upholstered horrors that abound
in your domicile and build bonfire
of them, you would make a good be-
ginning. Will you ever know, Mr..
Get-Rich-Q Quick, that bare walls-the
barest of bare walls-are far more
restful and far more artistic than
mural superhuousness of any sort
whatsoever? All the costly GIN
crackery that you might heap into
your house till the day of doom won't
make a real home of it-only junk
shop. You need but few pleasing,
eye-resting things here and there-the
fewer the better-and always these
must be in keeping with the general
tone of your room.
I have been in the houses of rich
people where I have so shuddered and
shivered from room to room that |
had but one idea while | was there,
and that was to get as far away as
possible from the clashing colors, the
warning anachronisms and general
overdoneness of the whole interior
And then [ have been in an humble
interior, with grass-cloth rugs on the
floor, a few plain wooden chairs,
bare Mission table and a hurlap-
covered couch for furnishings and
half-dozen etchings on the sand
finished walls and have felt perfectly
at ease.
I do not say that these 1ast-named
things are the best by way of house
decoration and furnishing, but they
are incomparably better than the
costly junk-shop "home" in which
many wealthy Americans take such
absurd pride
Simplicity, harmony! Let these be
the guides of all who would have ar
tistic homes Avoid a multiplicity
and variety of objects that confuse
the eye. Don't set green vase along
Palisadian. [volume] (Cliffside Park, N.J.) 1906-current, 1910-09-01

side a blueand-purple one. Don't
have red wallpaper, covered with big
and little gilt picture frames, brackets
with blue, pink yellow and bronze
images on them and glittering cleo
troliers, held aloft by Psyches or
Dianas six feet high. Don't ransack
the decorators shops for imitation
guns, side-arms, tin shields and tin
armor to hang up in your home. A
few ornaments of that sort go a long
way If you have the least glimmer-
ing of artistic sense you will soon
grow weary of them and come to de-
spise them.
On the other hand, simplicity can
be overdone. 1t can reach to the
point of severity, and severity means
gloominess. Harmony, if it result in
the gathering together of objects that
agree in tone and color value, can be
overdone to the point of monotony.
There is pleasant mean to be strived
for, and when this is attained one has
a truly desirable home The matter
of cost need not enter very far into
the matter. A true artist, one who
has the right feeling for acceptable
household decoration, could with five
hundred dollars get far more salts
flying result than a reckless, snowy
decorator could get with a million.
There is a large cafe in New York
that used to be patronized by maya
zine writer's and illustrators. It's
mural decorations were all in quiet
tones, its pictures good, its statuary
excellent The proprietor became
very prosperous and undertook to inn
prove the place by snowy, garish eff
fects such as one sees in many popu-
lar New York cafes and restaurants
But the writers and illustrators don't
go there any more I asked of them
the reason. He stated it simply
''Why, the boss spent half million
dollars to spoil the place-and he sue
ceeded." Let us remember that rooms

A sultry day-the first OF the sea-
