Ethics OF the Elevator.

Hundreds of people break into eleya-
tors who don't know the rules OF the
lift. To enlighten these and to make
life easier for those who ride with
them, these suggestions are offered in
the hope that delinquents will cut
them out, learn them oy heart. and
practice them diligently:
Step all the way back.
Face the door.
Don't wear murderous quill in your
hat.
Sing out when you get to your floor,
SO the boy won't have to reverse the
machine for you.
Take off your hat in honor OF an an
cient lady. for q pretty girl Is sure to
step in next, and hen how chiyalrous
You will feel.
If you want TO be regarded as n man
of mind, keep your hat on when ali he
ether men in the lift have theirs of.
Don't block the doorway. Other peo-
pie want to get out
Don't be so occupied with looking In
the mirror that you forget what floor
you want to get off at.
Don't tell about Johnnie's measles
ard Susie's beaux. An elevator is as
public as a trolley car. only more so.
Don't gouge, don't push. don't scowi
and say mean things. IL you object to
being showed up against you ought To
take the stairway.
Wait your turn TO get In and wait
your turn { get out. In short, behave
Nike a gentleman or a lady toward the
elevator and you will find 1t pretty
good method Of transportation.-Phila-

THE HOLY CARPET
IL Is Annually Carried FROM Cairo IN
Mecca.

A few days aga Bedouins attempted
10 rob the q escorttng the noly
carpet from Cairo to Mecca On this
occasion they were unable & secure the
spoil which hal tempted them, for
they were beaten Of and several killed.
This Is not the first time the ca-a-an
transporting the holy carpet to the holy
city of the Aoslsms has been attack
ed by Bedouins. The carpet Is FIRE
quently accompanied by thousands Of
pilgrims from II. parts Of Africa They
carry with them much treasure. This
tempts the marauding Arabs OF the dcs-
err to attack the aravan The fact
that the Arabs ara jealous Mussulmans
does not deter them from falling upon
fellow r~eligionists performing n of the
most sacred duties of their faith ard
conveying the covering of the most
holy object connected with their wor-
ship. The goods Of the pilgrims they
consider to be their legitimate prey.
The caravan carrying the sacred car
pet is the most important one which
traverses the pilgrims road over the
sandy wastes OF "the land Of pilgrim
age" Annually q similar caravan
makes the journey, for the carpet COW
ering the Kaaba at Mecca must be re-
placed each year The Kaaba is a box-
shaped stone building standing in a low
part of the holy city. 1t is about 40
feet long, So feet wide and so feet
high. The building is covered with a
heavy black silk camask. Around this
cloth is a band Of colored silk, INTO
which have been woven quotations
from the Koran in gold and green
threads. The band passes entirely
around the queerly shaped building
about SO feet above the ground. This
covering is the holy, or sacred carpet.
Few Christians have seen it in its
place over the old stone house. for TO
Christians Mecca is, like Lhassa, the
capital of Thibet, a forbidden, ci:y
Those who have been able to enter it
did SO in disguise and at a risk of los
ing their lives. Cnly Mahometans may
enter the sacred vally on the door OF
which the little building stands.
The holy carpet is replaced each year
by a new n especially woven at Cal
70. The making IS intrusted to the
same family ear after year. 1t is be-
gun in one part of the city and carried
in state to another, where it Is COM
pleted. 1t is made of silk and lined with
cotton in order to obey the
laws of the Koran. which prescribes
that nothing made entirely Of silk shall
be used.
l. Cairo on the day on which the carpet
is started for Mecca is full of excite
ment and color. The streets are all
alive. The soldiery are out. The Kne-
dive and his officials are present in
their gold-embrOidered uniforms
Thousands upon thousands of the faith
full followers of the prophet appear
there.
The ceremonial connected withdss-
patching the holy carpet is performed
on Ihe great square near the citadel,

the sections of the carpet are holy

about q third of these are entirely n
fit for outside work. The superior
courts in a great many of the counties
appear to think the p~enitentiary Ii a
hospital If n may judge by the con-
victs sent there. There are just enough
able-bodied cOnvIcts to operate rhe
brick making machines and look after
the brickyards. The convict gangs on
the Raleigh and Pamlico Sound rail
way and on the Raleigh and Southport
railway have been brought up to 100

as many more as are now at work. 1t

white people had been very kind to

first of September. To complete
it by that time the contractor
will certainly have to hustle as the
roof is not yet completed and there is
a great deal to be done in the interior.
When finished il will be one of the

j. w. LINDAU. JR
Young Greensboro Man Engaged in
Advertising in New York.

The American Advertiser for July
has the following:
One of the clever southerners in the
advertising field is J. w. Lindau, Jr.,
formerly OF Greensboro, \. c. Mr.. Lin
dau is we'll known in his section as
originator of many clever advertising
IDEAS, and his success in planning gen.
efal advertising campaigns has been
marked. His follow up systems have
helped many advertisers in their sales
work.
For five years Jules w. Lindau, Jr.,
studied advertising methods, and for
three years had practical experience.
After studying a great deal Of theory
on all classes of advertising matter, he
began practical work and applied the
theories as he had found them practi-
cal. He judges his work by the re-
suits obtained. He insists that others
judge him by the results he gets for
them.
Recently Mr.. Lindau said to "a rep
/ resentative of the American Advertis-
er:

I'm December, 1904, l got the New
York fever, the same as ali ambitious
fellows raised in small towns do. l
came to New York and took charge of
the advertising department of a fire eN-
tinguisher. In March, 1905, l resigned
that position to take charge of the adj
vertising department of Stransky &
Company, importers of Stransky steel
enamelled ware. This is an old es-
tablished firm and well known to the
advertising world.
my idea of advertising is presenting
convincing facts in a simple but at
tractive manner. IL one can do this he
can sell the product advertised"
