ONION SCORES BIG VICTORY
County Attorney Refuses Warrant for
Man on Woman's Complaint
Against Vegetable

lola, Kan.-The onion won a legal
skirmish here when County Attorney
Forrest refused to issue warrant for
Willis Thompson, charged by Miss
Lucretia Campbell, a neighbor, with
permitting the cooking of onions in
his home, the odors from which filed
her rooms, causing her great discom-
fort. Miss Campbell declared that
the odor If onions was poisonous to
her, and upon that contention she
based her demand that Thompson be
arrested.
The state of Kansas will not lend
it's aid to Danish the onion from the
home" said the county attorney.
Mss Campbell's remedy is an lnjunc-
ton issued in the district court, il

Mr. Forrest paid high tribute to
the healthful properties of the onion.

and that some live to tell the :als is
due, in most cases, entirely to the
generous aid which guides and expert
enced mountaineers are ever ready to
give those in difficulties. and who
seem anxious to throw away their
lives.
Here is case in point: Two friends
started on one of the most difficult
climbs in the Alps, and were very
much annoyed to find, on leaving the
hut at midnight. that they were FOL-
lowed by a solitary climber. This man
kept close behind them, and for few
hours managed quite we'll, but when
they were halfway up the peak in a
very dangerous part he shouted out
to them in German that he was very
tired. They came down to him, and
as he was so obviously incapable of
going on alone, they we're reluctantly
obliged to tie him on to their rope.
His fatigue, however, was SO great
that they had to turn back an hour
from the summit, and on two occa-
sions he very nearly pulled them
out of place by slipping down the
slope. Fortunately they are first-class
climbers, and were able to hold him
by the rope, or the three Of them

THOUGHT MAKES THE HOME
Most Liberal Expenditures, Without
Tastes, Can Not BE Made to Produce
the Charm Desired.

It is not necessarily the large and
wealthy house that is the prettiest:
the cottage may far exceed it in
beauty and present the most perfect
picture of home, whereas the mansion
may be cold and formal Most Of us
visit the house that never appears to
be lived in, where there Is no charm,
no taste, no warmth; yet the furni-
ture is good, there Is no lack of money
to keep up a good appearance, and
there are servants to do the neces-
sary work.
The woman who insists on her
rooms always looking pretty win
spend little money each week on
flowers or pot ferns. Small laurels
in pots look we'll and last we'll; they
also make economical window plants.
OF course window box should find
place on the ground floor sill if not
above, and be filled with evergreens in
winter and flowers in summer. Blue
tiles or green tiles look we'll in how-
er boxes
P1ctrue frames are often allowed
to hang on the walls in disgraceful
condition - especially white-painted
frames, and those can so easily be
freshened up with a coat of enamel
paint, which should not be stinted
when required.
Then, again, the material of uphol-
stored furniture is sometimes as much
sofled as the picture frames, and it's
unfit condition is a great offense to
the eye. It may not be convenient to
re-upholster, blu at any rate chintz or
cretonne loose covers could be pro.
vided.
Let all draperies used in the house
be clean, otherwise there will be a
lack of freshness about the house.
Send chair and soft covers and cur.
tains to the wash before their soil

bear the same rule in mind with re.
gard to cushion covers.
The pretty home is the one that is

Historic London House

A fine old Soho mansion, No. IS
Dean street, next door to the Royal
theater, which is being offered for
sale, has great historic interest. It
was formerly the town residence of
Sir James Thornhill, one of the IA;
theirs of British painting. From this
paternal abode Hogarth eloped with
Thornhill's only daughter, Jane, who
made him an admirable wife. The
house still possesses beautiful paint
ed staircase, the joint work Of Ho-
garth and his father-in-law. 1t was
at his Dean street residence that
Queen Anne sat to Thornhill for her
portrait. She came in a sedan chair,

side of the street, THE Crown and

URING the summer season Just

That, too, was dangerous predica-

rescued. The man, unaccompanied,
had scaled mountain, and whilst cut

returning, slipped and fell into a Gre
vase, alighting on ledge some sixty
feet below. There he was utterly
powerless without aid to escape from

A Confederate force under Generals
Wheele~ and Morgan was worsted by
a National force under COL A. S. Hall,
of the One Hundred and Fifth Ohio, in

A fight occurred at Cottage Grove,
Tenn, between a force of Union
troops stationed in that place and a
body of Confederate irregulars, said
to have numbered nearly two thousand
men. The fight, which hung in the
balance for more than two hours, was
finally determined by the arrival of
Union re-enforceme1ts, who compelled
the Cohfederates to retreat, with
severe loss. They were pursued for
several miles.
A large force of Union troops, under
the command of Generals Stuart and
Sherman, in conjunction with the fleet
of gunboats under Admiral Porter,
returned to the Yazoo, after sue

Steele's Bayou, Black Bayou, Muddy
Bayou and Deer Creek, Miss. In Deer
