Compound For Cleaning Rugs, Draper

Smyrna rugs, chenille draperies,

Shave, two and one-half bars OF
Laundry soap fine and boil until it is
dissolved in one and one-half quarts
Of soft water; add half pound OF
borax; boil ten minutes longer; steep
three ounces of soap bark in a quart
of water for half an hour and strain
add one-fourth of pint of aqua am
monia, put into quart of cold wa
ter; mix all together and add water
enough to make good six gallons.
Soft water is preferred. Set aside
to cool and cover to keep clean.
When ready to use dust the articles
well and apply with good large
brush, rubbing vigorously; then wipe
with a cloth until quite dry. For
doing large rugs it is desirable to
have two people working, one to fol-
low up with the dry cloth as soon as
space is rubbed.

Stevenson and Carlyle.

Robert Louis Stevenson used to
tell this story of his early days: He
was entering in an absentminded
way the famous secondhand book
shop of James Stillie when he ran
into a Tuning old gentleman who
was leaving the establishment. The
latter calculated in an angry tone,
'Man, can you not look where you
are going!" Stevenson apologized
for his awkwardness and was then
confronted by Mr.. Stillie, who was
also excited. The bookseller ex-
claimed: ''The creature has been
trying to make out that an old book
I sold him is spurious! He may be
able to write, but he knows nothing
about black letter books. He's the
most disagreeable customer that
ever entered my shop!"
"Who is he?" asked Stevenson.
"Oh, that's the great Mr.. Thomas
Carlyle" was the answer.

RESIGNED TO FIGHT.
Kansas City Union Depot Ticket
Seller Avenges Insult.

Kansas City, Jan BE. J. San
ford, president and superintendent of
the Union Depot company, said that
he expected to have a warrant issued
for the arrest of Abram A. Miller,
who created a disturbance in the
union depot. The man is a salesman
for the Wright Bro & Abraham
Commission company at the stock
yards.
Miller went to the icket Office and
asked for a ticket to Perry, Kan, owe
the Union Pacific. The train he want
ed does not stop at Perry, and w S.
Murphy would not sell him a ticket.
Murphy says Miller cursed and in

standing in the crowd. Murphy closed
and ocked his money drawer, laid
down his ticket punch and resigned
his position. Then he went outside
and fought Miller. DR.. Pickard

Missouri Pacific. The contract is worth
many thousands of dollars annually. The
continental mail now arrives in st. Louis
from the east over the Big -Four and is
picked up at the Union depot in st. Louis
and hauled to Kansas City on a special
morning.
There is a provision in the statute which
provides that the mail contract be given
to the shortest line. While the Alton is
not the shortest line between st. Louis
double tracking of the system for thirty
miles out of st. Louis, including the
bridge across the Missouri river at
Bellefountaine enables the Alton to make
better time than the Wabash, the short

is as follows: Wabash III miles, Alton

Gates, has interviewed as c~oplaintiff in
the suit of c.. E. Kissel and Austin G..
Fox against the Frisco system.
The suit is expected to come up for
trial about March 1. The plaintiffs
are seeking to invalidate the mort
gaeing of a traffic agreement between
the Chicago & Eastern Illinois and the
St. Louis, Memphis q Southeastern
railroad, by which the interest or $16,-

charge of $40, 600, may take prece-
dence over the 10 per cent. dividend
guaranteed by the FRISCO railroad on
the Chicago & Eastern illinois com
mon stock.
A injunction obtained
last June was dissolved, and the case
will be tried on its merits. It is
awaited with much interest by invest
ors. as some new questions are in
volved relative to the right of a rail-
road to deal with itself when stock
