ing room; they should be reserved
for the privacy of the bedrooms.
Reproductions of famous paintings
are iii the. best taste for the living
room. For the dining room should
be chosen pictures of good cheer and
conyiviality, of animals and hunting
scenes.
Give the largest pictures first
choice for the most important wall
space. Never hang pictures way up
near the holding or over doors and
windows. Such position is an in
suit to a good picture and gives a
room foolish top-heavy appearance.
The larger and more important
pictures should be hung so that the
horizon line is five or five and a half
feet from the floor. Portraits may
sometimes be higher than this, but
even then they usually produce
better effect if kept on level with
your eyes when you stand upright.
Never hang a picture so that 1t
slants away from the wall at an
acute angle, for this inevitably ruins
its beauty.
When hanging pictures over the
mantel or bookshelves no part of the
picture or frame should be hidden
by vases or other ornaments. The
picture should, of course, be in pro-
portion to what is beneath it-neither
too long nor too small.
The amateur at hanging pictures
will usually find an entirely formal
arrangement of them the most sue
cessful. In such an arrangement the
largest picture is placed in the CEN
tire; on either side of the large pic
ture and slightly below its centre a
smaller ore, and above and below,
still smaller ones.

Even such a perishable thing as

every care to keep such shipments
from spelling and to facilitate de-

Johnson COrrectS Erroneous RumOrS

In statements made yesterday Thom-
as F. johnson, nominee of three tickets
for sheriff, sought to correct erroneous
rumors that have been circulated since
recent campaign meetings before the
Friday primaries.
From remarks that | made in an
swer to questions propounded to me at
Pine Grove" said Mr.. Johnson, "ru-
mors have emanated to the effect that
| cast reflections on Judge Derby as
county attorney. Such a meaning was
foreign to my mind, when stated that
| could do nothing toward bringing
guilty parties to justice unless aided by
grand juries and the district attorney.
1t must be remembered that | have
served under four different district at
torneys and three deputies during my
three years in office. Judge Derby has
only been in Office for two meetings of
court, and ! have always found him
ready to do his utmost toward the up
holding of the laws and bringing guilty
parties before the court"
