LEOPOLD'S $4,000 RUG.
Belgium's Monarch Owns Old Piece OF
Carpet Which Represents a
Neat Fortune.

king Leopold Of Belgium owns one
rug that cost a comfortable fortune in
itself" said ]. F. Caldwell, who repre-
sents an eastern carpet mandatory. Il
have seen the rug, and it is beauty.
ingLeopold paid G15,000- or $4,000, for
it. l saw the rug when it was on exhi-
bition in Vienna 1t was made in the
orient, and is hand tufted. It's age is its
principal value, and it has been under
the feet of royalty for probably a CEN
fury. The rug is very large, measuring
probably 60 by IS feet Few rugs like
that come to America, though the mil
lionaires sometimes pay as much as
$4,000 or $4,000 for some Few carpets
are imported, as they can be made much
better by machinery than by hand, and
America excels in all machine made
goods Large numbers of handmade
rugs, however, are imported every year
from Turkey, Persia Arabia and all
parts Of the orient We have no labor
capable of competing with their rugs"

HER MATRIMONIAL CHANCES
Five Suitors in Twenty-Five Minutes
Was the Proud Record of
This Woman.

There is a childlike simplicity about
the peasant folk of Montenegro. A
woman who has travelled among them
says that both men and women, on her
arrival, asked her, with perfect frank
ness, the most personal questions.
When she explained that she had come
by train and steamboat, the inference
was that she had great wealth, relates
Youths Companion.
"And you have come so far to see
us? Bravo! Are you married."
mo-" said the traveller.
There was great excitement and
much whispering.
Wait! wait" cried a woman. Then,
at the top Of her voice, she shouted:
"Milosh! Milosh!"
A tall, bronzeS boy about IS years
old, edged his way through the crowd
f. His mother stood on tiptoe, and whis-
pered in his ear He looked coy, and
twiddled his fingers.
ASK her! as. her!" cried men add
women, encOuragingly.
Milosh plucked up courage, thumped
his chest and blurted out:
wilt thou have me?''
mo, thank you" said the traveller.

retired, amidst the jeers of his friends.
"Milosh, thou art not beautiful
enough" said the men.
Then they suggested Gavro, as being
more likely to please. Gavro made his
offer and was smilingly rejected.
The crowd was enjoying itself vast
ly, and took much pains to provide the
lady with a really handsome sutton.
She, on her pat, looked about, and

youth

Amid shouts Of laughter he was
withdrawn from competition, then an
other youth said frankly Il have no
money, but perhaps you have enough"
And he is good and beautiful" his
friends fastened to add.
But he, in his turn, was rejected, and
the enthusiastic crowd pushed forward
another candidate. Five sUitors in 20
minutes made, the traveller thought, a
noble record.

Says Recent Visitor.

American grape vines are proving
the salvation of the Tofay grape" said
Julius LanCo to a Milwaukee Sentinel
man. He had just returned from Hun
gary, where the Tohay grape Is grown.
IN the early '90s vine louise made its
appearance in the Tohay fields" he con-
tinued. "and in an incredibly short time
had devastated every vineyard in the
district. American shoots were expert
mented with and it was found that the
louise refused to touch them, they being
Immune from its ravages. After these
shoots had grown the first year shoots
of the Tokay plant were grated on them,
and these allowed to grow another year.
The third spring they were cut down
and wound about the root stem of the
American plant. and allowed to shoot
forth another year. But it was not until
the fourth year that an attempt was
made to garner a harvest"

CONFIDENCE IN SEN. MITCHELL
Notwithstanding Indictment Against
Him, Respect 10 Increased

WASHINGTON. Jan. 23-The indict-
grand jury against Senator Mitchell
has not injured him in the estimation
of his colleagues and friends here. The
day he returned to Washington he re-
ceived a perfect ovation. Since then
a number of senators and congressman
and assured him of their confidence
In his absolute innocence. Many of
them denounce in the bitterest terms
the attempts made by Secretary
Hitchcock to cast a stigma upon his
long honorable career.
Congressman Cushman of Washing
ton, one of the most prominent MEM
bers of the house. said in discussing
the indictment against Senator Mitch
ell.
II. myself" declared Mr.. Cushman,
do not think that Senator Mitchell, of
Oregon. has been guilty of any wrong.
The people of the west and northwest
not only have high regard for Sena-
tor Mitchell. but an affection for him
that has been the growth of years of
hard labor and hard service on his part
in their behalf. That man of his
standing should have his character
smirched by the testimony of a self
confessed scoundrel and one sensa
tional expert is nothing short of an
outrage. which will soon, in my judg-
ment, be visited upon those who con-
ceived and executed it,
| Tn my opinion the same is true OF
Representative Hermann, who is well
and favorably known to the people oil
the Pacific coast. These people have
confidence In his honesty and ability
When he was commissioner of the gen.
eral land Office the one thing in his
administration that everybody ac-
! knowledged was his friendship for and
his sympathy with the bona fide set
tiers on the public domain.
Il have full faith In the absolute
vlndcation of both these men"
Since Senator Mitchell has returned
letters and kilograms containing ex.
pressions OF implicit confidence in hi,
innocence. Congressman Hermann
