various Items Of Information which
May Come In Handy at
Amy Time.

Chamois makes as durable and satis-
factory q duster as can be used. To
keep it clean it must be washed in soap
suds, dried in the shade and rubbed dry.
1t will hold little dampness and is
satisfactory in this way for busting.
limitation chalnois is also very good
and less expensive. Busters should be
kept for the purposes for which they
are intended and should never be used
for anything else.
Don't throw away the trimmings
from your new tablecloths. Those long
linen threads you will need when your
tablecloth begins to break little.
With them you can prolong its span Of
life many days. Also try in ironing
YOUR tablecloths to have them folded in
different ways to vary the creases so
that the wear will not come always in
the same place.
Doilies and carving cloths should be
rolled ON stick or roll Of paper after
they have been ironed, without being
folded. The centerpieces should never
be rolled tightly if they are embroid-
cred. A piece of soft paper and flannel
should be placed under them. Your
heavy linen will not need starch, but
the old linen will be better for little
starch and bluing. See that your
laundress uses the heavy irons for the
linen.
The prettiest gift at wedding the
j..
other day was book of doilies made
like an old-fashioned needle book. 1t
was of white linen marked in white on
the outside: "Doilies," while inside
were flannel leaves with sheets of blue
tissue paper and alternately between
them thirteen beautiful embroidered
doilies, the work Of one of the brides
friends.
Linen will last much longer If soaked
and then steamed or boiled without
| rubbing. Let it boil about five min
utes. Rinse very thoroughly. Did
| YOU ever notice iron rust spots in your
linen for which you could not account
Those were caused by the laundress
| who was careless about rinsing and
left the soap in.
OF course every good housekeeper
sees that the stains are removed from
the linen before it goes into the wash
If it is not convenient for you TO use
lemon juice and salt to take out iron
rust spots, it may be easier to buy lem
on salts to keep on hand for such an
emergency. The salts are somewhat
stronger than the lemon. Grass stains
will always yield to cream of tartar i
the spot is wet and well rubbed.-N

BOUND TO DO BUSINESS.
The Pestiferous Tactics of willy Ar
menian Rug Merchants Seek
ing Trade.
Y. Times,


Two extremely oriental-appearing
Armenians, clad in the dirtiest of Amer
lean clothes, and each with brilliant
red fez perched rakishly upon his head,
have for many weeks besieged the Of
fees of downtown business men, offer
ing for sale gaudy rugs Of yellow, red
and gold. These falirs generally an
nounce themselves by cultural Good
morning, mister" and then proceed to
dump their wares upon the floor and
insist that ''the good gentleman's wife
would be pleased WITH this beautiful
weaving-so cheap-only eight dol-
lars" These fellows will not be turned
away without making sale, so persist
ent are they in their palayer.
The other day one Of the fakirs sud
denly appeared in the Office Of GER
tain manager in the city. Good morn

beautiful rugs. Mister would like one?"
"No; get out!" replied the gentle
man, firmly.
"This one is only five dollars, mister.
You must want it,
II tell you, MOI" reiterated the nerv-
GUS business man.
"In let you have it for three dollars.
I rob myself" persisted the fakir.
"Will you go out if I give you one dol
lar for it?" asked the almost frantic
man, in final desperation.
The peddler agreed and the dollar
was paid over. Just then a friend OF
the manager came in. The Armenian
held up to hiIl another rug of identical
ly the same pattern.
"Only five dollars?" asked the un
abashed faldr, in an inquiring tone.
"No! mol" replied the new arrival
II couldn't give you dollar for it"
"Take it for one dollar asserted thu

MONEY STOLEN
From Ex-DlstriCt Clerk EsCajedd'
Show Case Was Recovered

Since J. A. Escajeda retired from
the position of district court clerk he
has been engaged in the grocery bust
ness on Ell PasO street.
Everything progressed smoothly
enough until the other day when he
discovered that he was being system
tically robbed. Yesterday S35 in Mex
lean currency was taken from the show
case, where it had been placed for safe
keeping. The money was not missed
until the proprietor went to put it in
the safe last night. Then it was found
to be gone.
The police were notified and the
clerk remembered that boy about IL
years of age had been in the store that
day and while can of gasoline was be-
ing drawn for him in the back room
he was left alone with the money. A
search WAS instituted and the money
found at nearby stores where boy had
taken it and asked for change.
The boy denied all knowledge of the
money having been stolen, saying it
was given to him by another, and
larger boy.

Scavenger's Business Pro-
tected by the Mayor
NO OUTSIDERSPERMITIED
To Interfere With the FavOrites Of the
Administration-A Stranger Who
Tried to Follow His Vocation
Iu This City Was Subjected to Ar



rest.
Some weeks ago at q meeting of the
city council J. E. Geiger & Son pre-
sented petition asking to be permit
ted to haul off garbage from the prem
ises of citizens of this city.
Geiger land son are equipped for
that kind of business and have done
the work for towns and cities in all
parts of the country. They are highly re-
commended and proposed to give the
city bond for faithful performance of
their work.
Now Harry Chairman, who wears
diamonds and poses as laboring man
at the same time, is city scavenger.
His fees .or his services as scavenger
and dog catcher amount to about $4,000
annually. although his part of the labor
consists chiefly in signing the pay roll.
Chairman got wind of Geiger's petit
ton ana he was Oh hand when il was
present accompanied by his bosom
friend Charley Patterson. When the
petition wac read Patterson got up and
made a war talk. He said he didn't
care what sction the councilmen
might take, but if they granted the
petition he would use mis- official posi-
ton as city recorder to persecute
Geiger and drive him OUT of town.
cts shame, ''said be, 'why should
this outsider be permitted to come in
here and take fees out of the mouth Of
Harry Chairman? 1 don'tcare what act
ion you take, gent emen, l promise you
that 1 will use my official position to
uphold Chairman and put stumbling
block in the way of this man."
''Does the recorder put himself above
the city couucil?" asked an attorney
who presented Geigers petition.
The mayor and council took no action
on the petition and Geiger was ignored
entirely.
Last Thursday night he presented
another petition which was eminently
fair in it's terms and the only excuse for
not granting it was the fear that 1t
would I'm erfere with Chairman
Catlin and Mapoffin knew the con-
tents of the petition end evaded read
ing it. Catlin yawpe led and said 1t was
so long that he did lot feel like wading
through it and Magoffin suggested that
it be laid over until O'Keeffe is sworn
in and the council go ordered, without
hearing it's contents. That's the way
the gang has of treating person who
threatened to interfere with their me-
thods of squandering the peoples mon
ey.
