Phons (9. - . Bemid)l, Minn. | e SR | FLAN GF FARESIDENTS OFFICE It 18 an Ellipse in Form and the Fur niture Is Exclusively of iMs- hogany. The president’s office is an ellipse in plan. A triple bay window forms one end, and at the other end is an open{ fire-place. Four doors, opening in- ward, are equally disposed, two on each side, and are curved to conform with the curve of the wall. The tall windows are hung with stately, heavy curtains, and are flanked by book- cases set into the wall. ~The fire- place is encased in fine marble, and fluted Ionic columns support the man- tel on which stands a bellglass cov- ered clock, flanked by candelabra. In the fireplace are complete prepara- tions for a wood fire. Even the paper is placed under the logs, ready to ig- nite. The style of the room is classic colonial, and the woodwork is pa‘nt- ed a creamy white with blue-white em- bellishment. Each of the four large, ornate door-frames is surmounted by a rich pediment. The wall is covered by a warm olive green burlap, which ex- tends up from a ‘panelled wainscot to & Wwide, elaborate molding or entablat- | ure of plain plaster. A flat dome of this virgin plaster surmounts the room and- gathers in its shallow, in- verted basin, the light from the bay window, and gives play to every tint | end shade of gray. Pendant from the middle is a chandelier of electric candles, and triple groups of the same adorn the wall between the doors and windows. The only picture on the wall of President Taft's office is a bust photo- graph of Theodore Roosevelt, framed In gold rococo.- The furniture of the room is of mahogany, cushioned with green leather. Capacious settees and arm chairs line the wall, and several chairs are disposed about the room at random. The floor is of polished hard- wood. A large, soft, gray rug, in form en ellipse, flows up to the feet of the chairs. “Resting on its broad surface, over near the window, is the feature of the room—the president’s desk, 180 his massive revolving chair, made to replace one that was broken down by the executive weight when Mr, Taft first entered office. { TRAIN OF HOUSEHOLD GOODS { Russian Ambassador’s Domestic Ef- fects Fill Seven Cars—Delayed Several Weeks in Transit. { The consignment of household goods, carriages, etc., of the Russian ambassador, M. George Bakhmetieff, which has been in transit for several weeks, and which was reported in the “lost, strayed or stolen” column a {few days ago, reached Washington the other night. The consignment is the | battle of Waterloo Hennemann had tecavalry. ’| the pipe, to enjoy the remaining fumes Mme. Bakhmetieff. largest single shipment of household effects ever received in this country for an individual. It consists of ten of the big lift vans of the Anglo-American Lift Van company, 33 big packing cases and two large boxes containing carriages. The Pennsylvania railroad handled the shipment from New York, a spe- cial train of seven cars being required to carry the goods. M. Bakhmetieff’s furniture and ef- fects were packed two years ago in Tokyo, Japan, by an Austrian firm. Stored in Vienna for nearly two years, the goods were finally shipped, in the vans in which they were orginally packed, to Antwerp. There the vans and cases were placed on board the steamers Etonian and Michigan for shipment to New York. At that city the Merchants’ Transfer and Storage company of Washington received the shipment for transfer to this city. Supreme Court Wit. Mr. Justice Day of the United States Supreme court has the distinction of being the thinnest member of that august body. His sallow cheeks and slight figure are in striking contrast to those of Chief Justice White, As- sociate Justice Lamar, or any other member of that tribunal, for that mat. ter. The eldest son of Justice Day, who is an attorney in Ohio, is unusual- ly well built, weighing a good deal more than the average man. Attorney Day appeared before Justice Day and the other justices recently, and when he had completed his argiment in be- half of a corporation which he rep- resented, Associate Justice Holmes leaned over to.

Incident That Is Typical of the Devo- tion Field Marshal Blucher In- spired Among Men Who Fol- lowed Him to Victory. Old Field Marshal Blucher was par- | ticularly fond of three things—a glass of wine, a game of cards and a pipe of tobacco. With the two former he was frequently obliged to dispense, but he could not and would not do without the latter, nor could he help indulg- ing in smoking if it were ever so lit- tle, before he undertock anything seri- | ous. A few puffs at the spur of the | moment would satisfy him, but to do without them at all was a matter of impossibility. For this purpose he | had appointed as his pipebearer one | of his “boys” (as he used to call his | hussars a fellow countryman from Bo- | stock—Christian Hennemann — who had charge of a large box of common long Dutch clay pipes, all filled with tobacco and ready for use at a mo- ment’s notice. This box constituted the principal item of the marshal’s field equipage. Hennemann was so de- voted to his master and his charge that he would have killed on the spot ! anyone who attempted to purloin a pipe from the box or bring the latter In danger of breaking some of the precious (to him sacred) contents. On the morning of the memorable just handed his master a lighted pipe, when a cannon ball struck the ground close by, scattering earth and gravel in all directions and causing the white | charger on which Blucher was mount- ed to spring aside—a maneuver that broke the pipe into a thousand pieces ! before the owner had time even to lift | it to his lips. “Just keep a lighted pipe ready for me; I shall be back in a few moments, after I have driven away the rascally French churls.” With these words, Blucher gave the command, “Forward, boys!” and off he galloped with his Instead, however, of a chase of a few minutes, it was a rapid march of nearly a whole hot summer day, as we all know from history. After the battle was over Blucher rode back with Wellington to the place where he first got a glimpse of the combating armies, and nearing the Epot where Blucher had halted in the morning they saw to their surprise a solitary man, his head tied with a handkerchief, one arm in a sling and calmly smoking a pipe. “Donner.and blitz!” cried Blucher; “why, that is my Hennemann. How | you look, boy; what are you doing here alone?” “Waiting for your speedy return,” was the grumbling answer. “You have come at last! I have waited for you here, pipe in mouth, for the whole’ long day. This is the last pipe in the box. The cursed French have shot away every pipe from my mouth. Have ripped the flesh from my head and shattered my arm with their deuced bullets. It is well there is an end to the battle, or you would have been too late even for the last pipe.” Baying which, he handed to Blucher of the weed. ° Wellington, who had listened atten- tively to the conversation, here re- marked to Blucher: “You have just admired the unflinching loyalty and bravery of my Highlanders; what shall I say to this true and devoted Boul?” “But your Highlanders had no pipes to regale themselves with.”—From Bpofford’s Library of Wit and Humor. Lovers Waited Long. A miracle of patience was the court- ship of a worthy slipper-maker of the town of Elbing, Western Prussia, and his bride of a few days. Their be- trothal had lasted for 30 years. When the man was 28 years of age a mar- riage between the pair was actually ‘arranged, but at the last moment an affluent aunt on whose fortune they had been counting interposed with the threat of disinheritance in oase this particular union should take place. Accordingly the wedding was postponed till the obstacle should bave been removed. It wae mot long before the aunt dicd, but when her will was opened it was found that she had bequeathed her possessions to her nephew only on condition that he did not marry the girl of his choice for at Jeast another 30 years. With a com- bination® of. fidelity and prudence which s deserving of wonder, if not of admiration, the couple calmly set themselves to walit out this term. It has at last expired, and they have be- come man and wife, though it should be added that the marriage ceremony had to take place in‘the house of the bridegroom, who is now confined to his room by a heart complaint, Barge Canal Ready in 1915, The New York barge canal for the transportation of ore to New York harbor will be ready for use in 1915, according to State Engineer John A. Bensel. The Champlain canal, 81 miles long, will be the first section completed and will be opened in 1914, The boats to be used on this canal will be 207 feet in length and have 30- foot beams, They will draw 13 feet of water, 3 Where Does He Stop? “Slimson doesn’t seem to be in any great hurry to get through life.” “No. "He frequently stops along the WORTHY OF GREAT MONARCH King of Sardinia’s Tactful Manner of Concealing Kindness Done to Impoverished Follower. The King of Sardinfa, Charles Al- bert, was very kind and obliging to the French royalists who were at Turin. The Duke of F—, with whom he was connected, had an employment about the court—he had been severely wounded, and lost a leg in the affair of the Three Ddys. The king heard that the duke was anxious to visit the king and royal family at Prague, but that his finances were not favorable to 80 long a journey. His majesty, there-. fore, thought of an expedient which would enable the duke to gratify his loyalty, without his feelings being wounded. “Duke,” he said, “would you do me the favor to choose some horses for me in Bohemia; and as your best way will be through Prague, of course, you will pay respects to the royal family there.” As the journey was on the king’s service, the duke could feel no reluct ance about having his expenses paid. Sounds Like Good Logic. Recently, several educators came to the conclusion, after a lot of argument and discussion, that it is useless to teach girls higher mathematics and logic and that the time should be de- | voted to giving the girls a more prac. tical training that will fit them to be housewives and mothers. It is much better, say the educators, to teach cooking, housekeeping and nursing. So far as-logic is concerned, the edu- cators point out that the minds of Young women can be disciplined just as much, if not more so, by putting them through rigorous courses "in what will be of practical benefit to them in life. It further is argued that mathematics and such studies do not help a woman to be a better com- panion to her husband, for he uses those things only in his business, and & woman rather should study things that can be of help to him in his hours of relaxation. Strenuous Exercise. They were talking about the value or regular physical exercise, and one of the group, noticing that Meredith Nicholson, the author, seemed pretty fit, asked him what he did to keep in condition. . “Who, me?” he exclaimed. “Why, I don’t need any calisthenics or things of that sort. I live in a house on the sunset side of the street, and I get all the exercise my system needs in build- ing the fire every morning.” “That doesn’t seem to offer much thance for exercise,” remarked a friend. “What kind of fire is it you build, wood or coal?” “Neither,” replied Nicholson. “We use gas, and I have to scratch a match every time I light the fire.” Enjoyed the Judye's Luach. Aman, who appeared to be one of the .unemployed, entered unobserved the chamber of one ‘of the judges in the Four Courts, Dublin, Ireland, the other day, and helped himself to the lunch which had been prepared for the judge. While he was pouring out & cup of tea he was discovered by the attendant in charge, who had him re- moved and went to look for & police- man. In the meantime the man es caped. DON'T PULL OUT THE GRAY HAIRS A ®a. Zpplications of a Simple Remedy Will Bring Back The Natural Color. “Pull out one gray hair and a dozen will take its place” is an old saying, which is, to a great extent, true, if no steps are taken to stop the cause. When gray hairs appear it is a sign that Nature needs assist- ance. It is Nature’s call for help. Gray hair, dull, lifeless hair, or hair that is falling out, is not necessarily a sign of advancing age, for there are thousands of elderly people with perfect heads of haid without.a sin-l gle streak of gray. ‘When gray hairs come, or when the hair seems to be lifeless of dead, some good, reliable hair-restoring treatment should be resorted to at once. Specialists say that one of the best preparations to use is the old-fashioned “sage tea” which our grandparents used. The best pre- paration of this kind is Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, & prep- aration of domestic sage and sul- phur, scientifically compounded with later discovered hair tonics and stim- ulants, the whole mixture being carefully balanced and tested by ex- perts. ’ - ‘Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur is clean and wholesome and perfectly harm- less. It refreshes dry, parched hair, remtyes dandruff and gradually re- stores faded or gray hair to its nat- ural color. Don’t delay another minute. Start using Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur at once and see what a differgnce a few days’ treatment will make in your hair. 3 This preparation is offered to the S way and nearly every time he stops |PUPlic at fifty cents a bottle, and is marked: “Will, that boy of yours is O e mandbd s sold by all: drug- dists. 5 & block off the old chip.”—Puck. he puts bis foot upon a brass rail” : FRIDAY AND SATURDAY Ladies $5.00, 14 button tan shoes, a pair o $4.00 1 lot Men’s $3.50 and $4 Goodyearwelt shoes,a pair $2° 79 LM e $1,00 $1.00 1 lot Ladies’ fine shoes $3.00, $3.50 and $5.00 values, odd $2 29 sizes, choice, a pair . 1 lot Ladies’ $2.50 and $3.00 slippers, a pair .
