OUR
Carpet Department
is DOING AN
Immense Business
THIS YEAR,

1t seems that we are showing
popular patterns, for our business in
the Carpet Department is nearly
double to what it was last year We
certainly spared no pains in choosing
our stock and we were just as partic-
ular in get ing god patterns on the
medium priced grades as on the ex-
pensive ones.
Qualities, too, were looked after
with a sharp eye and we are conf
dent that we have nota yard of un
reliable goods in the place, which
makes choosing here pleasure. as
you have only the patterns and price
to think of.
We are showing all the popular
makes from Wilton Velvets to In.
grains and Brussels.
You certainly will make a mistake
if you buy floor coverings without
first consulting our stock and prices.

Washington, Dec. 13.-From stand
in front of the white house grounds
President Roosevelt yesterday re-
viewed the annual parade Of the local
police and fire departments. On the
stand with him were his daughter,
Miss Alice Roosevelt, and the Roose-
welt boys, Gen. Gillespie, the District
commissioners and many prominent
citizens of Washington. After the pa
rade had passed the fire department
gave an exhibition run. Thousands
Of people packed Pennsylvania ave-
nue. on either side of the white house,
apparently more eager to see the
president than the parade, and when
Mr.. Roosevelt left the stand 500 or
600 school-children invaded the white
house grounds and followed him to
the door Of the executive mansion.

The River Desperes to BE Covered Up for
Two Miles In the st. Louis EXPOSE
tlOn Grounds,

St. Louis, Dec. 13.-The river Des-
peres, which flows through the
worlds fair site, will be covered up
to get it out of the way. This little
stream, which has been quite q prob
lem in the work of preparing the
grounds for the coming international
exposition, will be led underground
for a distance of two miles. Specif-
cations for the work, to be done with
in the next few months, call for a
sluice way Al feet wide, Is feet deep
and two miles long. Over this sluice
way exposition visitors will walk,
buildings will rest, fountains will play
and the cascades will flow. Thus it is
expected to confne the little stream
that usually overfows its banks at
every freshet.

An Eolian Harm.

To make an Rolian harp construct a
box of very thin pine. cedar or other
wood, five or six inches deep, seven or
eight inches wide, with length equal
to that of the window in which it is to
be placed. Across the top, near each
end, glue strip Of wood half an inch
high and quarter Of an inch thick
for bridges. Into the ends of the box
insert wooden pins, like those of vio-
lin, to wind the strings around, two
pins in each end. Make a sound hole
in the middle of the top and string the
box with small catgut or first fiddle
strings. Fastening one end of each
string to a metallic pin in one end of
the box and carrying it over the
bridges, wind it around the turning pin
in the opposite end of the box. Tune
the strings in unison and place the box
in the window. 1t is better to have
four strings but harp with a single
string produces an exceedingly sweet
melody.

The Life Line In one. Hand.

There are three prominent lines IN
the palm-the line of life, that of the
head and the heart line.
The line of life begins on the inner
boundary of the palm, about midway
between the thumb and the forefnger.
If we imagine the left hand to be a
map. with the fingers pointing north.
this line runs toward the southeast,
then curves toward the south and in
some hands curves finally toward the
southwest. 1t thus skirts the base or
''uprise" of the thumb, known as the
uprise of Venus. If it is deep. broad.

the origin of the snowdrop: After Adj

garden of Eden Eve was disconsolate
One day as she sat silently grieving an
angel appeared and sought means to
comfort her. She longed for the flow
ers, but the fast descending snow was
wrapping the barren earth in robe eff
white.
AS the angel stood and spoke words
of hope to the weeping. repentant wom-
an he caught a snowflake. breathed
gently upon it and said
''Take form. pure snowflake. bud and
blossom and be comfort to humanity.
now and forever"
In a twinkling the snowflake changed
into a beautiful flower. as white and
pure as the snow itself. and when Eve
beheld the newborn blossom glaGlness
and hope came to her heart. and she
smiled through her tears
Having fulfilled his mission of love,
the angel departed. but where he had
stood there Immediately sprung up a
circle of perfect snowdrops.
