NO MORE CARPET TACKS.
Indiana Inventor Claims to Have a
New scheme to Replace
Them.

Harry o. Butler, of Franklin, Ind,
has invented an appliance for holding
carpets. and is intended to do away
with the old carpet tack system. The
idea is clear as the article is plain
plate of light durable metal, one-half
by one-quarter of an inch in size. with
a hook which holds the carpet. In the
plate are holes for screws or small
nails. which hold the plate fast to the
floor next to the quarter round. The
hook is pointed over so that the car
pet is laid on the floor and hooked on
these permanent hooks as the carpet
is stretched. The carpet can be put
down or removed in a very short time.
and the person experiences no mashed
fingers or other nainful accidents usual
in laying ca~nets. These small metal
hooks are made Of very durable metal
and will last several years. Mr. But
Ter has already received several hand
some offers for his patent. but has not
yet accepted any of them.

At once the congressman prepared a
bill, ceding the islands TO the city of
Aurora. Day after day he joined the
group in front of Speaker Carlisle's
desk and clamored for the recognition
of the presiding officer. But all in vain.
The speaker could see the older MEM
bers about the young statesman from
Illinois, but never recognized him. One
day, however, the brilliant sunset
Cox" was called to preside over the
house while Mr.. Carlisle was absent
for week. This gave Mr.. Hopkins new
hope. He haunted the groups to which
Mr.. Cox told his inimitable stories and
ct another auditor laughed so heart
ily as he. After one of these stories
had been heard and applauded, Mr..
Hopkins asked:
"Mr Cox. could get recognition to-
morrow so that my bill could be put
through by consent?"
"Bless your red head!" exclaimed the
temporary speaker, "of course you can.
Every time I see that red hair of yours
[ think of certain red-headed girl
knew years ago, and I'll give you a
chance for her sake-no matter where
you are"
Next day Mr.. Hopkins was missing
from the clamoring group in front Of
the speaker. He arose in his own seat
and Immediately heard the welcome
words:
"The gentleman from Illinois has the
floor"
Instantly the fateful bill was passed.
Such are the triumphs of statesman
