TURN AGAIN TO PATCHWORK
Old Fashion Is Being Revived-Serim
az q Material for the
Curtains.

Piecing the old-fashioned patchwork
quilt is again popular occupation.
Nursery quilts are made of heavy cot
ton or linen sketched with designs to
be worked with floss, Mother Goose
figures being favorites. Simple pat
terms done In blue and white or rose
and white chambray are chosen for
boys rooms. The mystic rose design,
now popular. calls for pale pink cali
CO, a rose shade, a rich red and the
right shade Of green for foliage. The
morning-glory pattern OF rose and
French blue calico, Is also favorite.
The -four patches" calls for white
background dotted with tiny pink
rosebuds. For colonial bed the old
log cabin design Is chosen.
Loosely woven gray scrim. which Is
inexpensive, would make extremely
good-looking curtains for your living
room or library. Use the selvage as
a finish for the sides and across the
bottom; hemstitch a two-inch hem.
An unusual way to decorate the cur
tains is to embroider a stencil pattern
In greens and bronze. A quaint foil

stitches should be used for the EN-.
broidery, as light shadowy effect is
desired. Another unique color combi

when the light shines through the cur

bit OF color. This sort of curtain will

Greatest Master Of Chess.

In 1858 during trip to Europe, Paul
Murphy played eight games, blindfold-
ed, with the best British chess players,
winning six, losing one and drawing
one. In Paris he played blindfolded
simultaneously against eight of the
strongest French players, winning six
and drawing two. This feat he repeat
ed on several occasions while abroad
and after his return to this country.
lie was educated for the law and final.
~ gave up chess playing In order to
devote himself TO the practice of law,
but lost his mind and died in 1884. His
father was attorney general of Louis
lana and afterwasd judge of the SUI
preme court of that state. He was &C.
counted a good chess player, but the
son gave him odds and beat him when
the son was only twelve years old.

great desire to emulate Turpin, Shep-
herd, and the rest of them.
He was born in Chester county,
Pennsylvania, in 1850, and was the
first great American highwayman, as
he probably was the most admirable.
He was more like Robin Hood than
any gentlemen of the road of whom
there is record, for he was brave, chiv-
alrous and generous, and if he stole
from the opulent with one hand, he
gave TO the needy with the other. One
cannot read his history without de-
ploring the fact that he took the left
hand trail when a lad; had he taken
the other, his bust might now be in
the Hall of Fame.
His first exploit was "pulled off,
when he was schoolboy. He had n
number of cronies of his own age who
had grown up on bandit literature,
and they were all eager for action.
Hare proposed that they rob an old
misery farmer who lived in the neigh
borhood, and the boys agreed. One
night they went to the farmers resi-
dence, intent on pillage and found
him seated on the front porch, in his
nightrail, the heat having driven him
from the house. The boys waited for
hours, hoping the old man would go
to bed, but he sat there as though
waiting for the end of the world. The
other boys experienced chill in their
feet, and wanted to go home but Hare
said he had come forth to rob, and
was going to rob. So he stole quietly
TO the porch, and found the farmer
was asleep. Then he entered the
house and rummaged around until he
had found $500, when he rejoined his
companions.
All his exploits were characterized
by a similar daring. AS a young man
he went to New Orleans to seek his
fortune. Upon landing there, in his
backwoods raiment, he was ridiculed
by q group of toughs. Hare walked
up to the biggest of the rowdles and
struck him in the face. Then there
was a fight that was talked about in
New Orleans for years. The big rowdy
was Bill Marshall, celebrated pugil-
list of the time. He was forty pounds
larger than Hare, but the country boy
whipped him TO a fragile. Then a pub
lie fight according to ring rules was
arranged for and a tremendous crowd
witnessed the conflict. Hare again
whipped Marshall, and retired from
the ring with comfortable roll OF
money.
Throughout his career he preferred
his fists TO firearms. Often he would
depend upon natures weapons when
his life or liberty was at stake, and
when he had deadly weapons in his
belt On one occasion he was sur

definitely drawn to test the compar-

governor.
The Robinson men had the Lilly
following outnumbered almost two to

from ,Kanawha county maintained

Although Mr.. Avis pleaded with the
insurgents, who were hopelessly in
the minority, to take stand for
party harmony and offered to in be-
half OF the majority element. nomi-
nate a Lilly man for secretary, they
refused to agree to any terms and
left the meeting.
This action was wholly without
cause and could not be legal as the

quorum. The Lilly men claim to
have elected as delegates s. A. Scott,
who was also named by the Robinson
