IDEAS FOR DECORATION
OF HOME. INTERIORS
Plan for Utilizing Space to Best Advantage.
Proper Colors to Be Used in
Various Rooms.

The Dutch colprs have been selected as
the most attractive for this quaint room.
At the windows are curtains OF unbieach-
ed muslin, with borders of Delft blue in
cross stitch. The tiny curtains which
are used inside the small glass doors of
the dresser are of wide cotton material
figured With a small design In Delft blue.
The side window seat is upholstered in
plain blue denim and the cushions are
blue and WHITEHALL of different designs
of linen and cotton material The only
rugs for this room are the old-fasllioned
blue and white crocheted rugs, which are
SO effective in round and oval shapes.
The woodwork is all stained in a dark
color, as is the floor. The upper part of
the wall above the wainscot is painted a
deep yellow. The furniture is of the
plinest mission designs. The ornaments
are the Delft pieces shown on the dress
er. platters. and mugs of Dutch pew
are very few pictures. and all are repro
auctions of the Dutch masters, framed in
narrow black frames.
The dining table is to fit into its place
properly. 1t must be either long oval
shape or a rectangular shape. The table
seat is of stained dark wood and is not
upholstered.
Not only the main room of this house
but the entire dwelling is devoted to the
Dutch colors The small kitchen has a
shining floor and walls of yellow paint, anG
the woodwork Is white. The shelves are
full of white and yellow pottery blue and
white enamel and glittering brass and
copper utensils.
The small bedrooms are all furnished
in Dutch colors. one hung with blue and
white chintz, and another, just to re.
lieve the color scheme is decorated with
draperies of gay tulip chintZ, showing all
the pinks and reds of the brightest tulip
bed. The furniture for these upper rooms
is all of white enamel. the woodwork ivory
in tone and the floors stained dark walnut
The walls are wainscoted in white wood
and above this covered with burlap. One
room is in blue, one in ivory and the
other, that with the tulip chintz hangings
is sage green.

Cooking Shell Fish.

To prepare sea food, especially shell
fish, for cooking and eating Is sealed
mystery to many at home cooks. They
are often prepared in a way which makes
the eaters i'll, which makes them come to
the conclusion that the fish was not fresh
In reality the trouble lay in the way the
food was cooked.
1t Is a matter OF more or less specula-
ton as to what happens to sea food Ell
route from the water to the table which
If carefully looked into, might answer
the ptomaine poisoning question. The
housekeeper should be sure to remember
the fact that there are no bargains in
fish. The reputable f1shmonger recog-
nizes but one kind, and that Is fresh
fish, He cares for it properly until pur-
chased and sent home, when 1t is the
cook lookout Oysters and clans, fresh
from ma rket, should be placed in bas-
ket and set on the sandy cellar bottom
If they are to be kept several days they
may have bit of damp seaWeed thrown
over them and should be sprinkled with
little wet cornmeal. Quantities are
kept annually in this way in seaport
towns and no one seems to be made i'll
from eating them.

Answer to Prayer.

Anderson, Aug. 5.-Thos. D.
Poore, of Westminster, whose voice
was restored to him last February
in answer to prayer, is in this city
spending some time with his daugh-
ter, Mrs. J. F. Geer. 1t will be re-
called that Poore lost his power OF
speech on April II, 1908, and that
on February 7, 1911, it was restored
to him during a revival service in
the Westminster Baptist church. Mr.
Poore requested a special prayer, and
after four persons in the congrega-
ton had offered up prayer for him,
he got up and was able to join in
singing the doxology. Since last
February Mr.. Poore has been in ex-
cellent health, a decided change from
the time previous to the restoration
He is now able to talk stronger and

Shot From Ambush.

Woodruff, Aug. Awhile on his
way to Antioch church to attend re-
Igious worship, Robert Hanna, a
well, known citizen of Kilgore, this
county, was shot from ambush by un-
known parties. He was badly wound
ed in the face and neck.
Monday afternoon Mr.. Hanna left
his home at Kilgore to attend wor-
ship at Antioch church. His route
carried him through dense patch
of woods and as he was passing
through the thickest portion a shot
was fired from the right hand side
of the path and Mr. Hanna fell from
his mule, his face and neck riddled
with bird shot.
Although badly wounded, Mr.. Han
ma succeeded in making his way to
the home of a neighbor and medi-
cal assistance was summoned, ply
sician being secured from Enoree.
About 40 shots were extracted from
Mr.. Hanna's face and neck. One
shot pierced the jawbone and could
not be extracted.
The shooting created a great deal
of excitement in the neighborhood
and many theories have been ad-
vanced as to who did it. It is said
that Mr.. Hanna has an idea who
shot him and sensational develop
ments are expected, for it is under
stood that he has implicated several
well known citizens of the Kilgore
section of the county.

LIGHTNING's QUICKER WAY.
By Strange Freak Hen is Picked
Near Newberry.

Newberry, Aug. 5.-James j
Schumpert, of Mendenhall township
was here to-day and told of a strange
freak Of lightning that occurred at
his home Thursday afternoon. Mr.
Schumpert was driving his stock
from the pasture, his son going to-
ward the lot to open the stable doors
A bolt of lightning struck large
oak in the lot, scattering the pieces
some weighing as much as zoo
pounds, to considerable distances. AT
the root of the tree was a setting
hen on a nest of eggs. She was af-
terwards found dead about 10 feet
from where the nest had been with
every feather except few pin feath-
ers on one wing stripped off as clean
as if she had been dipped. in scalding
water and picked in the usual way.
There was not a piece Of her skin
broken nor any mark of a bruise.
The eggs had completely disappear
ed. The lightning shattered As win
dow panes in Mr.. Schumpert's resi-
dence on the side next to the tree.
The same afternoon a few miles
away in the same township, lightning
killed a fine cow belonging to Levi
Watts. a negro.

Shot by Barnwen Sheriff.

Barnwell, Aug. 5.-Sheriff Frank
H. Creech shot and slightly woinded
John McLemore in the leg this after
noon at the Southern depot, the ball
also passing through the coat sleeve
of Bernie McLemore, Johns father.
The shooting occurred while the men
were riding in a buggy in company
with Frank Crubbs.
From what can be learned this
evening the three men had driven to
the depot to get a suit case belonging
to Barnie McLemore, and when a
short distance from the station on
their return to town they heard a
command to halt, and when they
turned saw the sheriff standing by a
tree with a pistol in his hand. Ac-
cording to the occupants of the buggy
and the testimony of an eyewitness,
Sheriff Creech leveled his pistol and
fired, the bullet passing through the
elder McLemore's sleeve and lodg-
ing in Johns leg a few inches above
the knee.
Mr.. Crubbs whipped his horse into
a run to prevent any further trouble
and McLemore came on to town and
received medical attention. His
wound, while not serious, was rather
painful and he will be able to be out
again in a few days. The ball passed
between the bone and the artery.
John McLemore stated this after
noon that he would swear out war
rant against Sheriff Creech, charging
assault and battery with intent to
kill. Mr.. Crubbs, the owner Of the
buggy, says that he will indict the
sheriff if possible. 1t is understood
that the sheriff was attempting to
make seizure of whiskey. It is re-
ported that he said he was firing at
the horse and not at the men.

CLOSED TO NEGROES.
Main Restaurant of Capital Will
Serve Only Whites.

Washington, Aug. 2.-Beglnnlng
with the next session of congress, ne
groes will not be permitted to eat
in the main restaurant of the house.
This is one striking result of the
change in the caterer of the house
restaurant.
Representative Roddenbery, chair
man of the subcommittee of the
committee on public buildings and
grounds, which has had charge OF
the selection of new caterer, an
nounced to-day thst renovations will
be started, involving the installation
of dairy or quick lunch and also a
separate room for negro patrons. AS
far as is known no such radical
departure is contemplated in the SEN
ate side, where the management re-
mains unchanged.
Frequently we'll known negroes
have come to Washington on bust
ness and have dined in. the house
restaurant. Many times, white peo-
pie eating there have risen from
their table leaving their meals un-
finished. While there was no un-
pleasantness nor even complaints,
the members and their clerks, es-
pecially from Southern States, have
felt the annoyance keenly.
r. M. Martyr, a Democrat of the
District of Columbia, was the success
full bidder for caterer of the house
restaurant. He will take possession
tomorrow, relieving w. J. Coffin,
who has had the privilege for four
teen years.
Under the new management the
quick lunch feature is expected to
make hit with clerks and stenog-
raphers and also to many of the
members. Speaker Clark's usual
lunch of piece Of pie and glass of
milk is famed. He is but one OF
many in this respect.

May Beat Jerry Moore.

Greenville, Aug. 4.-That Green
vile county corn club boy stands a
splendid chance of raising the cham
pion acre of corn in the State, if not
in the South, and thereby eclipsing
the record of Jerry Moore is the opin-
ion voiced to-day by Clemson college
experts and Senator B. R. Tillman.
Special Agent c. R. Hadden, of
Clemson college, Senator Ti]lman and
other parties made trip to-day into
the upper section of Greenville coun-
ty for the purpose of inspecting an
acre of corn being grown by Edgar
S. Berry, a 16-year-old lad living on
the farm of Mr.. J. r.. Childers, of
Greenville.
The experts viewed thoroughly the
acre of growing corn, made calcula-
tions as to the possible yield, took
photographs of the corn and made
arrangements for having the corn
measured, weighed and analyzed for
moisture.

Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1911-08-18

Necessary for our rapid material adj
vancement was some active mobile
force which would adapt itself to the
changing needs of growing nation.
Sometimes blazing the way; always in
the front rank the railway systems OF
the country have answered this call,
and, by. the very weight of their own
stupendous growth have come to domi-
nate, in many places, the whole politi-
cal and commercial situation. This was
inevitable, and fair analysis will COM
pei the admission that this commanding
position was thrust upon them by the
imponderable force of circumstances
rather than sought for by them in an
unfriendly spirit towards the people.
That they have wrought wisely and we'll
in almost every situation will also be
conceded by all fair-minded persons,
and such apparent deviations from this
condition as may be noted should
rather be charged to the times in which
we are living rather than to the greed
of corporations and the avarice of man.
