Summer Awnings Painted nwnlng cloths are rapidly gaining favor- on account of their smart appearance, cleanliness and durability. A finer, stronger fabric is used for painting than for printing; and the paint ljlls the pores of tho doth, thus protecting It from the elements nnd pre senting a smooth, nonabsorbent surface that is washed clean by every ralrf storm. The smaller cost of the printed fabrics Is therefore offset bv tho longer service rendered bv nalnted awnings. July-August Good Housekeeping. Human Curios The Master Murderer When U. P.

Had It not been for the chance which led a convict In u 8t Louis prison to read nn account of Perry's death the matter would un doubtedly have been recorded as an ac cident and It Is doubtful whether H. H. Holmes, thj master-murderer of modern times, would over havo been appre hended.

Burled In tho cel lar floor and half consumed by quicklime wero found tho remains of at least Ave persons w'lom Holmes had murdered. In the confession which he made shortly before being executed Holmes admitted that he had been responsible f Jr no less than twenty-seven crimes of a similar nature.
