l.iNOLEUM IN THE BEDROOM
English Idea Has Become DeserVedIy
Popuiar-Saves Time ard Labor
for the Housewife.

The introduction Of the English
vogue for using linoleums as floor coy
erings in bedrooms has led to an enor
nous increase in the demand for rugs.
Housekeepers appreciate the cleanli-
ness of a floor covering that can be
washed without requiring a further
polishing with oil or wax. The pat
terms in the bedroom linoIeums are
pretty, and when ornameuted with a
few rugs look very attractive. mex
pensiVe velvet and tapestry squares
are often used for this purpose and
are to be had in old Persian patterns,
in which the dull, rich tones OF blue
and the beautiful, varying tints of soft
rose are seen to wonderful advantage.
Among the novelties for curtains
and draperies the Murillo fabric, a
dull finish silk and satin material OBJ
tainable in beautiful colorings, and
the Naples satin, which has a bright
appearance of silk satin, although 1t
is simply a mixture of cotton and
wool, hold first place. This is chiefly
due to their moderate price, combined
with their decorative effects. They are
impOrtations.

LINING FOR SILVER DRAWER
Velvet That Shows Signs of Wear
Should Be Replaced Before 1t Is
Worn Through.

Every silver drawer should have a
lining Of velvet with a short pile, and
where this pile begins to show the
marks of long usage 1t should be re-
newed to appear at Its best. To do this
it is best to peel out the velvet that
is to be replaced and measure off the
new lining to >the correct measure
ments of the old one. The paste with
which it Is made to adhere is made of
the same consistency as the sizing
that would be used in paper hanging,
or slightly dryer, and after the inside
OF the drawer is sand-papered it is ap-
piled to the wood and the velvet
pressed to it with a piece of paste
board or rubbed with plain paper.
Brush well after it Is dried and be-
fore the silver is placed in its new re-
pository.

Monkey Chastisement.

Monkeys do such an astonishing
amount of reasoning, sometimes, that
it almost frightens us into believing
that Darwin was right after all. A
short time ago a child, contrary to all
orders, put several peppermint drops
inside the wire of a monkey cage, In
a circus. One Of the monkeys sam
pied one and liked 1t immensely, but.
thinking that another treat was in
store at the end of the cage, left the
remaining peppermints unprotected
for a brief moment. No sooner was
his back turned than a mischlevous
little monkey made way with the can.

657 EMBROIDERY PATTERN.

for suits OF this kind, but cotton poplins
are used and pique is excellent while for

chambray and ginghams and the ike are

New Color Schemes.

Navy blue and violet are dominating
colors in millinery, and are mixed very
artistically with light threads Of cerise,
orange, green and gray straw. Even
the new flowers show the influence Of
these contrasting mixtures, and often
some novelties in their arrangements.
Poppies of shot t~affetas succeed the
white peoples Of velvet. Each petal
rests N another large petal Of green
crepe de chine, forming a border all
round, while the heart or center Of the
flower is in ostrich feathers, either
black or yellow. This is an amusing
novelty for the spring millinery.

vote has grown amazingly; they
will poll probably $4,000 votes in
Oklahoma ur nearly three times as
many as two years ago and about
1900 more than four years ago
when socialism was thought to have
reached It's height in Oklahoma.
Another notable thing is the
heavy vote that United States SEN
ator Robert i. Owen received. In
thirty-nine counties officially tabu-
lated he is running ABOUT 2,0U0
votes ahead of the next highest
democrat, William II. Murray just
as Murray and the other state and
congressional candidates are run
ming about $500 ahead of the demo
cratic presidential electors. In oth-
er words, approximately $500 more
votes were cast for Senator Owen
in these thirty-nine counties than
for the presidential ticket. And it
is significant in this connection that
the vote received by Judge Dick
erson, Senator owens republican op-
ponent, was near 1900 less than
that received by the republican
presidential electors. showing that
the senator cut heavily into the re-
publican vote.

of the court OF criminal appeals,
56,607; j T. Dickerson, republican
candidate against Senator Owen, un-
der the Oregon plan, received 1886.
The heavy vote for Senator Owen
did not come from any Cne partic-
ular part of the state. He leads in
every county tabulated. Atoka
county gave him 65 votes more
than for President-elect Wilson:
Mayes, q votes more; Stephens, 67
votes more; Woods, 50 more; Nc
Claim, 50 more; Roger Mills, &c
more; Adair, 80 more; Washita, 80
more, and other counties running all
the same way. In each of these
countless likewise, Judge Dickerson
is running behind the republican
ticket.
The result in the official count
on the capital question is expected
to burst the Guthrie bubble, easily
possible as long as returns were in
complete and the Guthrie papers
Sunday moning were expected to ac-
knowledge defeat and cry fraud
against Oklahoma City. They have
been assailing this city each day
since the election, saying Oklahoma
City was endeavoring to steal the
election and thereby casting reflec-
tions on the character and honesty
of every election official throughout
the state.
The returns so far tabulated BY
the state election board give Okla
homa City majority of nearly 1000
actual votes not including the
Oklahoma county vote, where TO-
900 will be added. These figures
do include the Logan county re-
turns and most of the other coun-
ties which registered in favor of
the bill by large majorities.
The bill submitted by the last
legislature and voted on at this
election, known as the school bill
and providing a levy Tor common
school purposes sufficient to main
tain an average five months school,
over Oklahoma has received a good
majority of the votes cast upon the
subject but is far behind majority
of the total vote. The figures for
the 80 counties are as follows.
Yes" 46,437; no" 2S,7O2 The to-
tai vote in the same territory is
113,329, which leaves the bill more
than 10000 short OF majority of
all. There is some question, how
ever. whether such a bill submitted
as it is, requires mere than a ma
jority cast on the question, and un-
til this legal point is passed upon,
there is some hope for the measure.
