So great is the rage for Jacobean de-
signs in fruit and flowers that one finds
them everywhere, not only in handsome
wallpapers and tapestries, but in mex
pensive cret0nnes and linens.
One Of the most delightful pieces OF
furniture OF the Jacobean age is the chest
OF drawers on a stand. 1t is much more
convenient than the ordinary chest or
the "tall boy" and is taking the place
of the latter.
With the tall boy the top drawers
are too high up to be convenient In the
ordinary chest the lowest drawers are
uncomfortable near the ground. The
stand of the Jacobean chest Is Of just the
right height to make all the drawers
come at an easy an convenient level.

Mr. Sims appealed from this decision,

resolution at the proper time he with
drew the appeal.
After the names of the four members

arose to offer his resolution then and
there. But Representative Johnson of
Kentucky was ahead of him with a mo-

LIBERIA SORE bESET
Only Hope of Survival Is in Aid
From United States.
REPORT OF COMMISSION
Autonomy Threatened by Encroach-
ments of France and
England.
REPORT OF COMMISSION

+ Pressed upon one side by France and be-
set by Great Britain upon the other,
Liberia. the little negro republic of At
RIGA. is between two milstones. which
threaten to grind it OF the map. unless
the nation has the support of some power
commensurate in strength with Great
Britain and France.
That is one of the principal conclusions
expressed in the report of the American
commission to Liberia. which was trans
mitted to Congress today by President
Taft, with a special message.
Recommendations for Aid.
After reviewing the internal dangers
which threaten Liberia as well as those
which crowd upon her from the outside,
the commission has made the following
recommendations:
!. That the United States extend its
aid to Liberia in the prompt settlement Of
her boundary disputes.
.. That the United States enable Lii
IBERIA to refund its debt by assuming. as
a guarantee for the payment of obliga-
tons under such an arrangement, the
control and collection of Lioerian Gus
toms.
3. That the United States lend its as
sistance to the reform Of the internal
finances.
4. That this nation aid in organizing
and drilling a competent consta bulary, or
frontier police.
5. That the United States establish and
maintain a research station there.
6. That the United States reopen the
question of esta blishing a naval coaling
station at Liberia.
Praise for Government.
For what it has been able to accom-
plisk the government of the little re-
public and those responsible for ii are
commended highly by the commission.
The I4iberians have advanced in their
civiliza ton, and the native element has
not had a retrograde influence. On the
other hand, the civilization Of the ma
ton has done much toward advancing
the tribes, the commission says.
Attention is called TO the fact that the
Liberians never have resorted to reNolu-
ton and the nation is not, as has been
sa i'd bankrupt. Liberia, while attempt
ing to solve her internal problems, has
become involved in external ones which
are threatening to its Integrity.
British Plan Condemned.
The reform program adopted upon the
advice of Great Britain is condemned oy
the commission. The causes are described
in the report as THE DunSilhs oI bfi'ish
officials in 1893, which resulted IN
frontier police Differed largely by Brit
ish. That feature the commission de-
cIares impossible for the good or Liberia.
In summarizing the conditions tnere,
the commission says that help from the
United States is demanded. as Great Brit
ain and France are not In position TO
give dfsnterested assistance Sugges-
tons have also been made to the Ii
1xrf hao m
,rhe whole situation is summed up as
homeless for the little nation. however,
unless the United States steps in and
helps out.

NEW FARM HORSE.

G. w. Elliott was up from Brook
ings for a few days this week looking
the cropping of his farm near
town. Mr.. Elliott has for some time
been engaged in building a motor
wagon intended for use on the farm
for blowing and breaking and for gen
eral trucking about the farm and on
the road. The outfit weighs about
5000 pounds, yet it will haul four a.
inch plows and do the work of more
expensive and heavy traction engines.
Besides it will travel eight miles an
hour on the highway, and can be
used for hauling grain to- market and
purposes. Mr.. Elliott believes
he has the real thing, and has ap-
piled for patents on a number of the
features that are new. He contem-
plates putting in a factory at some
local point and manufacturing the

BJORNSON'S EARLIER CAREER

To consider what Bjorson trid to
do and actually did during the fifties
and sixties is like looking into a fairy
world, unaffected by ordinary human
limitations. There was not a move
ment afoot in which he did not take
part for or against. There was not a
public question raise that he did not
have to discuss in speech and writing.
He was newspaper editor and contri-
butor, theatrical director and play
wright, political agitator and leader,
poet and novelist,-al at the same
time and in bewildering alienation.
A mere youth, he did more than most
to build that radical party of the left,
which has now shaped the destinies
of Norway for more than a quarter
century. Through his patriotic poems
he stirred the national spirit as it
had never been stirred before, and
n of those pOems.-"Yes, We Love
the Land that Bore Us,'-took such
hold of the people that, in a very few
years, it became the national hymn.
From ''BjornSon, the pOet-reformer."

Review of Reviews for April.
