RicUN0ND, TuURspAY, October 10, 1903.
Feast your eyes on ORIENTAL
RUGS-the BIZ Store is Strewn

deed, walk on them; they take no

wear: at may he for years it
may be forever" Most OF them
have been melIoWed and made
silky by from ten TO fifty years of
service in their far eastern homes.
Then here and there is a brand
new one, fresh from the tedious
weaving and knottng OF the print
tive lands, whose rulers look upon
steam as a curSe-a Str0ngneSS OF
color about them that only years of
wear will reduce to the coveted
mellownesS. Here's pair Of Sad
dle-BagS that has made many a
trip through the streets of Bagdad.
Here a Caramania Tapestry from
Egypt-Woyen by girls IN an open
slelSy stitch that reveals a pattern
in the interstices when held to the
light. This work is alike on both
sides.
Here's Keizac Rug, about 4X7
feet. made IN ConStantinople here
an antique MeIas from Antolium, in
Turkey. Look at this Shirvan Rug
1t is one Of the rareSt sorts shown.
These Portieres are from DamaS-
Gus; these III Til Rugs from the
land OF the PtoIemieS. So much
for the goods.
Now for the dollars and cents
side of it. Not many years ago
such examples Of Oriental Rugs
and Carpets as are here shown
would have cost you $50 to 5000
apiece. Yankee shrewdness in
gathering them overreached itself
and brought them from fancy val
ueS down to the plane of COM
merce. Then the Anmenians,
who've little love for the Pagans
and less regard for their religious
rites and family traditions, began
securing India, Egypt, Persia, and
Turkey for these .heirlooms and
fruits Of hand-loomS, and started a
new world trading on their own &C.
coupt. Mr.. G.. K. DaVidyan has
been at it for ten years, with head
quarters in New York; his agents
securing the Orient for his account.
The panic was hard on importers
and something had to be done
the one saving thingiS being done
sell. 1t IS not a question Of profit
just now, but simply a plan to raise
money to keep his organization to-
gether. Sales like this have been
held in Boston, New York, PhiIa.
delphia, Washington. Now we
take the EXHIBITION FOR TWO
WEEKS. M. ,. Gooloyan, a ma
tive Armenian, IS in charge-he
knows the Rug from the first knot
tied in its making to the last knot

them across the ocean. Frequent

be easy, as the price range is from

A Sign from Heaven.

ga queer story was related to me
many years ago by Rev William Simp-
son, then one Of the leading lights of the
Methodist church in eastern Iowa and
western Illinois, said Harvey Good,
enough, a Hawlseye pioneer, at the La
clede. while the Mormons We're car
rying things with high hand in west
ern Illinois they converted young
woman, member of Elder Simpsons
flock. A few months spent at Nauvoo
suiIiced to disenchant her, and she re-
turned home u confirmed skeptic. The
church people labored with her long and
faithfully, but without overcoming her
unbelief. Before her bedroom window
stood a large oak tree. She announced
that she WAS going to pray the Lord for
u sign-that she would ask him if he
really had in existence to manifest it by
causing the great oak tree to wither, as
Christ is said to have blasted the un-
fruitful fig tree. She was to prefer her
request for sign upon which TO ground
her faith al 10 o'clock Sunday morning.
Her resolution al once became the
talk of the town. and many visited the
tree and carefully examined it. 1t was
perfectly sound, full of sap aud covered
with a profusien of bright green leaves
At sunset every leaf was as brown and
withered as in the depths of winter. The
elder stated that with a party OF men he
cnt the tree down and dug the stump
and that it was dead from the topmast
branch 10 tho smallest root. Tho young
wolnan'7 prayer bad been answered She
at once rc-entered the church and de-
voted her lie to missionary work, spend
ing several years in China and Japan =
