She knew men. She looked at him

idea for Storing.

A clever idea for storing away hats,
furs, blouses, etc, was evolved by a
woman who lived in tiny apartment.
She had a wide shelf erected across
one end of her bedroom. about foot
and half below the ceiling Then she
bought six or seven hat boxes and
covered them with wall paper in a
rose design that harmonized with the
rose color of her room. These formed
a kind OF frieze across one wall, and
without detracting from the general
appearance made a little storeroom

EXCELLENT USE
FOR FRESH BONES
Best Plan Is to Run Them Through
Cutter for the Poultry or
Sell Them to the
Local Dealer.

For fresh bones the best use is to
run them through a bone cutter for
the poultry or sell them to the local
dealer for the same purpose. Some
times there appears no market or use
for old bones, and with these the fol-
lowing plans may be tried. The result
will still be rather coarse, but good
for vines and trees. Bones and fresh
wood ashes are placed in alternate
layers, making the first and last layer
of ashes, until the barrel is full. The
whole is kept slightly moist. After
three or four months the mass may be
turned over once a month for three
months, when it will be ready for USE
Another method is to mix them with

fodder may constitute the greater por-
ton of the bulky ration, together with
grain ration of corn, oats, bran,
and small percentage of linseed oil
meal or cotton seed meal.
1t is best to mix these grains to-
gether, but if any are to be fed alone
let it be oats.
Corn alone will prove unsatisfac-
tory, as it has a tendency to weaken
the lambs and lessen the flow Of
milk.
Be sure to have sufficient feeding
room, as the danger from crowding
and pushing when ewes are heavy
with lamb is very great and likely to
cause some cases of abortion.
In conclusion it may be said that
every dead lamb or eve means loss
of about five dollars to the owner, and
it behooves him to give the best at
tention to his flock during the lamb
ing season.

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 taffetas succeed the
white peoples of velvet. Each petal
rests on 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.

Lefty Lane Runs Away.

He had not got upstairs to his
rooms at the Carlton before note
was handed him from the actress, bid
ding him to return at once to the Sa'
voy, and Ruggles, his heart hammer
ing like a trip hammer, rushed up to
his rooms, made an evening toilet, FOR
it was then half-past seven. threw his
cravats and collars all around the
place, cursed like a miner as he got
into his clothes. and red almost to
apoplexy, nervous and full of emo
ton, he returned to the rooms he had
left not three hours before.
The three hours had been busy ones

To Wash Khaki Suits.

When washing tan colored clothes
or stockings or the khaki colored suits
put little brown dye in the rinsing
water and in the starch. One 10 cent
package of dye, dissolved in boiling
water and then bottled, will last a
whole season. Add only little to
the water. Using the dye prevents

A third method is to place the bones
in the barrel with layer of soil at
the bottom, and drench them with a
hot solution of lye, mixed in the pro-
portion of one pound of potash lye to
four pounds bones. This should be
covered with soil and stirred occasion

Absent-minded persons sorely try
the patience of girls in the New

ago a woman confessed herself sub

quested the day operator on her ex-

to call me for at 9 o'clock?"
Il don't know" said the girl. You
didn't tell me. You just asked me to

Too Bad" said the woman. Il

to do every morning at 9 o'clock, but

it was"
The 9 o'clock calls continued, how
ever, and several days later the wom-
an took central into her confidence
again.

be called" she said. A friend had
given nae a canary and I wanted to

POLL TAX MUST Be PAID
TO VOTE ON AMENDMENTS
SPECIAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION
COMING IN NEW YEAR, RE-
QulRES POLL TAX FOR 1912
TO BE PAID.

To vote at the special municipal
election called for January Z at which
time several charter amendments will
be submitted to the people for ratifi-
cation or rejection, it will be neces-
kary to pay poll tax for 1912 on or
before the second Saturday of this
month, which comes on Dec. IA.
The law provides that person
must have paid poll taxes for two
years proceeding any election and
must pay them on or before the
second Saturday in the month pre-
ceding such election. Those who
voted in elections this year were re-
quired to have poll tax receipts for
1910 and 1911, but the fac that the
special election comes in the year
1913 makes it necessary to have a
receipt for the year 1912 as well as
1911.
Most people do not pay their poll
tax until they pay their real and
personal taxes and as a result there
will be few poll taxes paid unless the
voters wake up to the situation.
Persons who are opposed to the
amendments are busy campaigning
against the measures and advising ad
herent to the opposition to qualify.
