ANTIQUE RUGS ARE RARE.
Not More Than Two Hundred In This
Country Are the Genuine
Goods.

One OF the most experienced men
in the rug business recently msda
the assertion that there are not
more than 200 genuine antique rugs
in the country. Those who own them
hold on to them. fer their value in
ereases every day. To be antique q
rug must be at least 100 years old,
says the New York World.
Because it looks dingy and is high
priced is by no means q guarantee
that the rug is a genuine antique,
and many who have Prided them
selves on the Ownership of such an
article would be sadly disappointed
if they had it examined by an expert
and were informed that it was the
ordinary kind made in this country
and had been "doctored" to make it
appear old.
The finest rugs come from Persia
and are named after the provinces in
which they are made. The manner
in which the knots are tied is guide
to the province. They look so much
alike it is difficult to tell the differ
ence. The manner of making them,
too, dates back centuries and the col
ors endure forever. The people of
India neither invent nor initiate, for
the old methods are the best and
they stick to them as long as they
live.
The colors of these rugs never
fade. While the dust may soften
their original tints, the primal quail
ity is never lost. They can be
cleaned time and again without in
jury to color or texture.
The people of India are excellent
at copying and will reproduce an Or
iginal rug SO perfectly that it is
hard to tell the difference. They al
ways get the best effects.
Antique rugs are very expensive.
They cost hundreds aid thousands of
dollars and $1,000 or $4,000 is not
considered exorbitant for good
sized rug.
Nearly all of the old patterns are
being repeated and are being used,
with the exception of those in the
mosques, copies of which are not per-
mitted.
The Armenians have demoralized
the rug trade by bringing over a
great number of counterfeit rugs in
recent years. They use mineral
dyes and the weaving is not as skill
full.

THE EDIToRs's LEISURE HOURS.
Points and Paragraphs Of Things
Present, Past and Future.

In the Press Convention at Green's
borO last week something was said by
one speaker about the wisdom of the
press being more independent and SELF
assertive. To one reading about it at
long range 1t is hard to say just what
WAS meant. But whatever was meant.
there are few institutions In the land
more dependent upon the whims of
the public than the press. This is true
as 1t applies to the local country week
ly, at least. How to please all and do
right at the same time is bard ques-
;ion.

The general merchandise store Of
Jefferson Robinson s. Son at Wallace
was burglarized at a late hour Sunday
night. The burglary was quite bold,
as the burglars entered the front door
by picking of the putty and pulling
out the glass in the window in the
door. A big natural gas light stood
Immediately in front Of the door, and
would have caused any one but des-
porado to consider well before COM
mitting the burglary. A lot Of watches,
revolyers and knives were taken to
the worth Of $50 or more. The post

stamps may have been stolen too.
They leftno clue and will probably
never be apprehended, unless the
stolen goods are found in their posses

 'I know now why one Tenderloln res taurant keeper Is successful remarked a Wall street broker the other day. 'l was in the main dining room one even ing with q party of men. We noticed a little commotion near the entrance, and saw that it was caused by the ar rival of a good natured looking man, whose bearing showed that he had been out with the boys. He wasn't noisy or offensive, but he couldn't have walked chak-line If his life had depended on it.
 He came down the room in an un- certain sort of way. shelled his over- coat, put it with his hat on a chair, sat down, folded his arms on the table. and went to sleep. The walters looked at him and ran after the head waiter. The latter walked up to the sleeping man as though he intended to waken him. Then he stopped and called waiter.

 ''"Thats so-and-so,' said the waiter. He's good customer, but he's very drunk and he's gone fast asleep. What shall I dol? 'Shall wake him up?'
 We musn't offend him. said the proprietor. I'll tell you what to do Then he whispered to the head waiter and went away. The head waiter call ed a waiter and in turn whispered tn him. Then he went away.
 ''The waiter went to the china pantry and came back with a finger bowl. This he put on the table where the sleeping man was. In doing so he rub bed the fingers of the sleeper. The man straightened up and opened his eyes. The boy was not looking at him. but had picked up the water bottle and was filling the finger bowl. In doing so he knocked the bowl with the bottle so that 1t rang like a bell.
