Fac-Simile OF autograph signature Of the
assassin, John Wilkes Booth, on the reg
lister Of the National hotel, Washington,
under date of Saturday, April 8, 1866.
Booth was assigned to room No. 22S by
the room clerk, G. w. Bunker, who tes-
titled to these facts at the trial of the
conspirators on June 2, 1865. This is with
out doubt Booths last signature, except
ing the one on the card sent to Vice Pres
ident Johnson's room on the day Of the
assassination.

Aside from the several advantages
which the house with two floors offers
in the arrangement of the various
rooms 1t is possible to obtain "a very at
tractive exterior by a suitable selec-
ton of building material and color de-
sign. In the entirely wooden struc-
ture there is the possibility of especial
ly attractive woodwork, distinctive
architectural design, and novel paint
ing effects. Modern masonry offers
some pleasing effects. carried out in
the use Of great variety of fancy
stone, brick, terra Gotta and other nat
ural and manufactured building mate
rials. BY the use of colOring mate
rial the stucco house may be made to
assume an extremely desirable appear
ance. Finally, by a combination of
several of these, a still more extensive
range Of eXteriors may be produced. 1t
would be Il radical taste which could
not find satisfaction in one of the pos
sibilities Of house-eXterior design.
The perspective shown here Illus
trates a very attractive design of a
large family house having for its ex-
terror combination of stucco and coll
ored shingles, which blend together
The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1916-07-21

to form an effect which will attract
more than passing attention anywhere.
The number of possible color combina-
tions between the shingles and stucco
is practically unlimited.
Furthermore the easy slope Of the
roof, the exposed beams with their
fancy carving, the lattice work and
heavy brackets and beams above the
upper windows, the massive stucco pill
lars on the porch, and the smaller col
umns in the front windows, all con.
tribute to the general excellence of
this exterior design. The unusual fea-
lures give a distinction which cannot
be overlooked. The entire structure is
an example Of the typical house de-
signed with little more than the
typical attention to detail and with a
determination to furnish sufficient
room for the comfort and convenience
of fairly large-slzed family.
By the use of a dense mix Of con-
crete in the substructure Of the house,
or perhaps the use Of some Of the
many waterproofng materials on the
market, the basement Of this house
may be made very free from damp
ness, and with the generous grade
windows and a suitable division into
sections a basement may be formed
which will prove its usefulness In
great variety Of ways. Furnace room,

bread making calcium chlorid and o
commercial preparation called "calci.

more practical to add calcium to fine

public to adopt whole-grain bread.

Perhaps The most interesting fea-
ture Of the entire design is the sun
parlor leading from the kitchen and
front paror. This room, with its
seven windows, will no doubt be the
most used room IN the house in all
kinds of weather BY replacing the
sash with screens during the summer
months room is provided which will
furnish all the advantages of being out
of doors, without the annoyance of in
sects. Since there is an entrance to
the kitchen, this room provides very
pleasant breakfast porch, Il feature
which will be appreciated by all who
have had the opportunity to take their
morning meal in the open air.
The second floor contains three large
bedrooms, sewing room and bath
room. The hall makes all of these
rooms independent Of one another. and
the cased opening off of it into the
sewing room speciulizes this little room
MS the most attractive on this floor.
feature of special convenience is the
large closet space allowed to each of
the bedrooms.
Considered in its entirety this house
design is one which offers Il great
many features not ordinarily found in
cOrporated in one house. and to the
family needing a house Of this size, es-
pecially if they have located in one of
our smaller cities, 1t suggests the pos
sibility of home Of rare attraction.
An item of considerable importance
in the selection Of house is the pos
Sibility of it's fitting into the general
scheme of the surrounding landscape.
1t is possible materially to spoil the
appearance of an otherwise beautiful
home by an improper selection of its
surroundings. The house described
here should be placed preferably, on
Il rather wide lot with a moderate ter.
race in front. 1t will look well If set
off against a background of trees and
shrubs carefully placed at the rear
and sides of the premises. The front
rorch will be set off to advantage by a
bed of flowers set along the front and
side. Thus surrounded by trees, shrubs
flowers and well-kept grass this home
should be very attractive.

fact, although the largest delegations
came from New York.
When the president, in his address
to the students of the Service school,
said, God forbid that we should be
drawn into war" and then added that
If war came America would be found
ready to defend it's honor and in
tegrity, the young women Of Chevy

that which must have animated the
mothers Of the Revolution and the he
roic women of Civil war times.
Miss Elizabeth Elliott Poe, the com
mandant, and Mrs. Vella Poe Wilson,

GOOD TIMES THAT ARE GONE

the old man'd get up and put his pants
on and take down the fiddle, and
they'd move the chairs and things out
and have a dance; stay up till all
hours, and get home about time to
feed the stock. All, dear! they We're
noighbors in those days!
"And even so, that didn't come up
to what he'd heard tell about Of the
heroic period of this country, the rO-
mantle age, the log-cabin days, when
they were all poor and struggling, but
happy in their poverty, when the
latchstring was always out, and they
would share their last pint of corn
meal with the wayfarer, not knowing
where the next was to come from, but
sure they would make out somehow"
Uncle Zenas shakes his head; doesn't
know what the cOuntry's coming to.

Seals Can Drown.

1t is a curious fact that the fur seal
was once a land animal. The baby
seals are actually afraid of water;
they would drown If thrown into 1t,
and have TO learn to swim by repeated
efforts. When once they have been
taught to swim, however, they soon
forget to walk.
There are in existence only two lm7
portant herds of fur seals, one Of
which has its breeding ground in the
Commander islands, belonging to Rus
sia, the other in the Pribilof islands,
belonging TO the United States. OF
these the latter is much the larger.
The Pribilof islands are government
property, and thus 1t happens that the
United States government finds itself
the owner Of by far the most valuable
herd Of fur seals in the world.

What the Tea Leaves Tell.

Do you know how to tell fortunes
In a teacup? 1t furnishes Il great deal
of entertainment at party. This
Chinese rhyme explains it:
zone leaf, alone you'll be;
Two together, the priest you'll see.
Three together, your wish will gain;
Four, a letter from loving swain.
Five, good news the letter will bring
Six in a row, a song you'll sing.
Seven together, good fortune waits,
So say TO you the teacups' fates.
Tea leaves large and tea leaves tall
Bring you company, great and small
Tea leaves many and scattered fine
Is of bad luck the surest sign.
Tea leaves few and near the rim.
Your cup Of joy o'erflows the brim."
