Has stranaest soudoir,

New York Press: Princess Abame-
lek-Laxarew, of Florence, who belongs
to the Russian house of Demidoff, has
the strangest boudoir in the world,
and has chosen the most unusual sort
of establishment for her private re-
treat. This tiny room is in the re-
nous villa of Pratolini, outside Flor
ence, nea Fiesole, and all the pic
lures, furniture, lights and ornaments
represent the osculatory art. In the
backs of chairs are cherubs in the
act of kissing each other; in the
chandeliers are pairs of doves with
their beaks touching. Even the cleo
trio bell on the table near the prin-
cess couch is made of two little peas
ant figures, and the sound comes
only when their lips touch. There ars
dainty pictures of all the great love
scenes in history and romance, the
leave taking OF Romeo, the farewell of
Mary Stewart and David Rizzio, the
Huguenot lovers, Launcelot and GUM
evere and their unhappy followers,
Francesca da Rimini and Paola. The
cushions of fine embroidered silk OF
tapestry show rustic love scenes in
vigorous fashion. The princess has
passed years in gathering her cupid
trophies, and her room in that won
! derful villa is filled with the treas
ures of the Medici.

parts of Oklahoma, while over the

opinion of observers, based upon
weather conditions experienced since

however, that in the past a condition

of the Missouri river the condition Is
low and a large winter killed acreage

suit of a long continued ice sheet,
covering low areas, and December
freezing and thawing when the late
sown wheat was small and imperfectly
rooted. West of the Missouri river

The Loan Shark.

Chicago Tribune: Among the many
good laws with which Massachusetts
keeps well up in the front rank of
truly progressive states, one of the
best has just been upheld by the fed
eraI supreme court. The law provides
that no man may assign his wages
without the assent of his wife.
Here is a death blow to the loan
shark. The next assembly must not
adjourn without delivering that blow
In Illinois. The highest court in the
land has put the stamp of its con
elusive approval upon it,. The blood
sucking usurer is a shocking ana
chronism in this century. There is
no shadow of excuse for these YAM
pires who prey upon the weak, the
sick, the ignorant, waiting to fatten
themselves when accident or mistake
trips for an instant those who are
travelling close to the .dge of mis-
fortune.

Of weapons against him. Illinois must

Chairman D. II. Macarthur of the

to Fargo Saturday after an extended

democratic success in that territory
is excellent and that the national

says Mr. Macarthur. "The farmers are
posted right up TO the dot on national
and state issues and a majority of
them have already made up their
minds to vote for Wilson and He'll
strom.
''They are pleased with Hellstrom
because Of his p%rogressf veness and
executive ability. They realize that
he KNOWS his business and political
conditions that have existed in North
Dakota for the past q years like a
book. and they are satisfied that big
business and crooked politicians can't
get by him with any shady deals II
he is in the governors chair. AS Re.
form Warden of the North Dakota
p%enitentiary he has gained an inter
national reputation. and it is in this
office that they have taken his meas.
sure as an executive and as a man.
They appreciate that Mr.. Hellstrom
has already stood between their In.
terests and big business in the matter
Of Irvine. and feel sure that he would
continue that policy in the governors
office.
1T impartial judges were to pick
the three men who have done the
most since the state was organized to
put North Dakota on the map. the an.
swer would surely be. John Burke,

views on the probable outcome Of the

statement that he felt safe in placing

atty over the other two candidates at
