GIVES PLAN FOR CORRECT HOME
FURNISHINGS.
(By A. N. P.)

Chicago, Ill., Oct 20.-That the av-
erage American citizen does not know
how to furnish tastefully his home,
and that the few who do are hard
put to it to find anything approxi-
mating real art, were statements APP
proXimated today by Ross Crane,
head of the Art Institutes Extension
department.
Following are Mr.. Cranes five rules
for furniture buying:
Never buy furniture just because
it Is a prevailing style. In two years
another latest thing will make 1t as
obsolete as a what-not.
Never buy furniture Just for now ="
Never buy any furniture in hurry.
You will repent at leisure.
Never buy any highly vanished
furniture.
People of moderate means-never
buy any furniture you can not af-
ford to buy.
FURNITURE should be regarded as

TO SPEED UP DRILLING
Rig for Work on Gas Wen VIII Be
Brought From Ottawa.

Arrangements for drilling for gas
or oil three miles south of Topeka
are to be hastened, according to a re-
port today by w. T. Comstock, one
of the men in charge of drilling.
Delay in receiving the rig, shipped
from Wichita Falls. Tex, has caused
W. S. McCaslin and w. T. Comstock,
who have charge of the drilling, to
drive to the Wellsville field. near OF
tawa, this afternoon to make ar
rangements to have rig and drillers
brought here for the work on the
Topeka well.
The drillers will work in night and
day shifts. An expert is on the way
from Oklahoma to stake the exact
location of the well. AS soon as 1t
is staked, a pipe line will be laid for
the water supply for the project.
All other plans are well along and
the delay in receiving the rig is
causing unrest. When the rig from
Wichita Falls arrives it may be used
to open a second well little later.

IS MYSTERY SHIP?
Schooner POcOmOke Is Captured
on Jersey Coast.
Garry 1000 Cases of Whisky
to Quebec, Is Claim.

Atlantic City, July 21.-Customs Of
ficials are making an investigation
concerning the schooner, Pocomoke,
which was ordered into Atlantic City
yesterday by the coast guard service
on the ground that she may be the
mystery ship which has been reported
cruising off the New Jersey coast.
The Pocomoke's officers say she came
near the coast because of being in q
leaking condition and was seeking a
harbor of refuge. Government Of
ficials claim she left Nassau, Bahama
Islands, two weeks ago with one thou
sand cases of whisky, ostensibly for
Quebec. When the inspectors boarded
the vessel her hold was found to be
empty and the leak was said to be
not of a serious character
Some of the crew said the cargo
was jettisoned in an easternly gale.
The Pocomoke was formerly an
American vessel and owned at Cape
Charles City, Va. Some time ago,
she was sold to a British syndicate
and put under the English flag naiI-
ing from Nassau

RANDOLPH IN BAD
Man Claiming To Be kidnapped
sP Returns Home-Arrested.
May Be Charged With Black
mail and Misuse of Mails.

Sharon, Pa, July 21.-Thomas NJ.
Randolph's kidnapping tale blew up
Wednesday night when Randolph
came home just one lap ahead of the
police. 1t was thriller while 1t lasted
but the police stuck an unkind pin in
the bubble and it burst. Randolph
had written his parents here that
seven men were holding him for $780,
600 ransom. Other letters purporting
to be from his "kidnapers'' demanded
the $4,000 or they would kill him.
Randolph's father said he would give
$1,000 for the kidnapers but not a
nickel ransom foH his son. When
Thomas M. Randolph drove up in
front of his wife's parents home, he
appeared exhausted and talked inco-
herently. A moment later the police
arrested him on a technical charge OF
being a suspicious person. He was
locked up without bail for q hearing
some time today.
Federal postal inspectors closely ex-
amined the letters demanding $50, 1000
ransom. Some were from Randolph;
others from his supposed "kidnapers.' q
The postal inspectors plan to lodge a
charge of using the mails to defraud
while the Mercer county district at
torney announces his intention to
charge Randolph with blackmail.

THREE LIVES may Be SAVED
Adequate Porches at Topeka Tuber-
cuEOsis Sanatorium VIII Make
= Chances for Recovery Almost
Certain.

Three brown-eyed boys, aged 6, s
and 10 years, are among the patients
at the Topeka tuberculosis sanatorium.
Their illness is only'i in an early stage
and they have every chance of re-
covery If they have the proper treat
ment, but that means plenty of OUT
door air and sunshine. They now play
and rest in the children's ward at the
sanatorium, which is not an outdoor
room. There is not available porch
room at the institution to allow it to
be used by the children. Other fur
ther advanced cases must be given the
use of the porches.
With the prospect of having ade-
quate porches built at the sanatorium
thru the Sanatorium Porch fund
started Wednesday, the three little
boys chances of recovery are almost
certain, for it is hoped that the
porches will be erected by fall.
Checks from contributors to the
fund are being made payable to the
Sanatorium Porch fund, which is in
charge of Mrs. Charles B. Thomas,
| Mrs. F. w Freeman and Mrs. T. B.
Frost.
Mrs. c. c. Maze, 1892 North quincy,
wife of one of the patients at the
| sanatorium. has volunteered her serv-
ices in securing subscriptions to the
fund in North Topeka
The total amount raised for the
porch fund to date is $762.25. It was
! reported at noon today by Mrs. F. ".
