Why Some Young Women in Massa-

A young lady of Boston. who undoubtedly
has tender attachment for one of Uncle

Presidents recent letter against race sui

against the action of the Navy Department

Her letter, which was referred to the Navy
Department in the usual routine is as fol-

Dear President Roosevelt: I have been

DR.. Eliot Of Harvard College have aroused
about Americans not marrying. The reason
I am not married is because 1 have not

other young ladies in Massachusetts who
have not been. either.
MY sister and Cousin Kate think Secre-
tary Moody is greatly responsible for their
not being married, as he orders all the nice
young men to the Philippines, and the girls
think it would be only fair for him to give
free transportation for them to follow. SIN

The New MattingS.

These ideal floor coverings for
summer are now ready in a great
diversity of patterns, colors and
weights. Some are for service, 9TH
ers for beauty. All are remarkably
good.
When selecting a mating for
hard wear choose those from China.
Weight is the essential requisite
the heavier the better.
For effect in furnishing take the
Japanese mattings. The Chinaman
adheres to the traditional lines laid
down by his ancestors; it is part of
his religion. Hence the patterns
change very little or not at all from
year to year, and the weavers' eff
forts are concentrated upon the
wearing qualities. On the other
hand, the aggressive, Yankee-like
Jap, adapting his racial ideas of art
to Occidental taste, produces de-
signs and colorings as rich and
varied as the finest carpets.
Our own makers, too, are stead
lily winning public confidence. Most
of the American mattings are in ar
tistic plain colors-reds, blues,
greens and yellows-and being
made of the tough, durable prairie
grass are excellent for office and
places where there is much foot
travel.
Mattings come in 4o-yard rolls.
By taking the whole roll you will
save $I.oo to $2.oo. The expense
and trouble of handling remnants,
which we avoid by selling thus, en-
ables US to make concession in price.

night. and at cnce made application
for their admission.
Both show the early symptoms OF the
dread disease, foaming at the mouth
and having mild convulsions. Three
months ago Clinton Marks, another son
of the old man. was bitten by dog. The
wound healed and nothing more was
thought OF the matter until month or
so later hydrophobia developed He
grew rapidly worse and died in terrible
agony.
During his Illness the father. who was
his contant attendant, was asked by the
son for kiss. He granted it. and the
foam from the sons mouth evidently in
oculated the father. for recently he de-
veloped unmistakable signs of the dis
ease
While treating the wound Clinton
used a syringe and some medicine. Syl-
van. his brother, was injured in the leg
a little later. On the advice of the Cro-
ther he used the syringe and medicine
on the wound, and now he. too, is suffer-
ing with the terrible disease.
