The Unscarred Veteran Came Near Being

"The most wonderful and thrilling

the old veteran who had never been

wind all out of myself. After little

not 50 PAGES away, came what looked
to me like whole division, at least,
charging right over me. AT that time
horrible stories were current in the
army, and L began to wonder what a
bayonet thrust or smashed skull
would feel like. There was no use in
my trying to get up and run, and I'd just
made up my mind to take my medicine
like a man, when happened to think
that it was our army that wore blue uni

syx-a Wonderful sagacity of a Dog.


The wonderful sagacity sometimes
displayed by the dog in its efforts to
save its master is well illustrated by the
following true tale of late occurrences:
A nine-months-old puppy of the Shep-
herd variety, owned by Farmer Nathan
iel Peardon, of Melindy's Prairie, Wis,
was sent to bring home drove of six
good-sized hogs that had escaped from
their pen, little thinking the dog could
accomplish this difficult task. Imagine
the farmers surprise on seeing the
puppy bring each hog home, one after
the other, in quick succession, leading
it by the ear, each trip stopping for his
masters approval Each time the hog
refused to advance, or seemed inclined
to loiter, the puppy pulled his ear all the
harder, thus compelling him to move on.

DURABLE CARPET.
That in which the Pattern Thoroughly
Covers tho Groundwork.


Covers tho Groundwork
The most durable carpet ever woven
was undoubtedly the old rag carpet
made of home-spun rags dyed with veg
etable dyes made from native barlSs and
roots. The hit and miss effect of these
carpets wns often complete success,
and far prettier than the snowy tapes
try Brussels that succeeded. 1t was
also much more durable. 1t was not
necessary to shut out the sun from the
room carpeted with the rag carpet, be-
cause its colors were of honest dye and
did not fade in the light. This old-time
floor covering is nearly gone. There
are only a few housekeepers in these
days, in spite of modern inventions and
labor-saving devices, who have time to
sew and dye rags for carpets, SO the
choice of even the old-time farmhouse
must fall upon a purchased article.
When room is dull and dreary look
ing there is temptation to buy a
bright-colored carpet, but it is one that
ought to be resisted. Nothing pals
upon the taste so soon as carpet of
staring pattern, whose flowers "rise
up" to meet your footsteps over it. 1t
is always safe rule to choose a carpet
of medium shade, decidedly darker than
the wall paper. A conventionalized
pattern wears much better than a
realistic pattern of flowers and leaves.
In order to be durable, let the pattern
cover the ground of carpet thoroughly.
A wool ingram carpet of the best
quality is a far better, more satisfac-
tory choice than cheap tapestry,
which is sold at the same price. The
old-fashioned three-ply carpet is no
longer made The heavy ingram, which
takes its place, is more durable because
it remains in good condition as long as
| it lasts while the upper surface of the
| three-ply wears off, leaving the carpet
| shabby, though it be still whole. The
next choice to an ingram is a first
quality American Brussels Choose a
carpet of heavy surface, but one woven
through to the back. OF late years
some manufacturers of tapestry have
dyed their carpets on the back so as to
make the superficial observer believe
they are woven through, but such a
shallow device should deceive no one.
1t must be said that there has been a
marked Improvement in the manufac-
ture of velvet carpets in recent years,
so that some of these are almost as
durable as inferior Wiltons. The vel.
vet carpet, it should be remembered, is
tapestry carpet, woven in heavy
frame, and the loops of the surface are
cut to produce the velvet surfaces. A
Wilton carpet is heavy Brussels, in
which the loops of the surface are cut
The moquette carpet has heavy plush
like surface, but it is not as dura BILE as
Wilton or velvet, though it is cheaper
than Wilton.-N. Y. Tribune.

STAY WITH THE CoLoRs.


 For various reasons THE OASIS has purposely avoided taking position on the unfortunate situation into which the affairs of the town of NogaleS have fallen, preferring to present. in a way, the opinions of others, which is done again elsewhere in this issue. But this week there is changed aspect on af- fairs, and THE OASIS feels that there is incumbent upon all good citizens duty in upholding the efforts of the two eminent gentlemen who have talk en seats on the town board with an intention of an earnest attempt at strengthening the tangle.
 Both Captain Mix and Mr Herrera are we'll known business men, capable and efficient, and they may be depend ed upon to work conscientiously for the best interests of the town They declare that their policy will be with in the strict limits of legality, and that nothing shall be done without the full sanction of law. 1t is the part of good citizenship to aid them in carrying out the policy they con- template.
 In dismissing the subject TIE OASIS will say frankly that it does not see wherein disincorporation would rem edy the difficulties now besetting the town without engendering greater difficulties, far more reaching in their evil effects. Surely, those who adyo- cate disincorporation do not realize that such policy would be fatal to their hope for separate county. Dis incorporation of Nogales would be club in the hands of the enemies of Papago county which they would use with unaffected glee and savage effect. They could and would very forcibly assert that if Nogales cannot main- tain town government the country tributary cannot support county government. The friends to county division, surely, do not want the pror- osition to face fire of that kind in the next session of the Arizona legis- lature.
 Among the Arizona municipalities Nogales has hoisted her standard. | Now that she is under fire the advice of THE OASIS is embodied in that sen tence so frequently uttered to soldiers | going into battle: Stay with the line and stay with the colors."
