COLONIAL RAG CARPET
This Homely but Useful Fabric Was
the Chief Floor Covering.

Handmade rag carpeting was the
rule in colonial days, and even the
Georgian bedroom was often carpeted
with accumulations of the household IS
discarded fabric, says The Ideal House.
~. The fault Of the rag carpet lay IN
the nondescript character of the rag
strips which were used-not a decora-
tive fault, but fabric was produced
which often was defective in strength
or wear.
The modern rag carpet or rag rug is
made usually out Of absolutely new ma
terial. which is cut into the necessary
strips, then carefully wrapped around
strong, filling thread, and woven. The
pelling because it is filed substantially
and weaves evenly. It is strong and
has long wear because Of the support
given by the double four-ply filing.
These carpets are made in several
very charming effects. One style is
called the "cretonne." 1t. is made
from strips Of fine print with cretonne
pattern, and the finished rug is deli
cate combination Of rich green, and
delicate pink and yellow.
The style known as the art nou.
veau' has plain strip Of cloth as the
basis. with a filing thread Of another
color. This filing thread is not con
cealed, but appears and disappears in
the pattern with excellent effect against
the plain ground Of colored strips. One
combination has drab ground with
here and there dash Of scarlet; an
other an orange ground with here anC
there bit Of dull red. Then there are
carpets being made which combine new
rag stock, and cross stripes Of yarn il

CARE FOR MOUNTAIN SHEEP
Colorado Game Laws Have This An
imal Under Their Special
Protection.

State Game and Fish Commissioner
Jim Woodland declares that the noun
tain sheep Of Colorado is in the same
class as the sacred bull of India. 1t
must not be touched says Woodland.
II the animal is seen browsing upon
the mountainside the gun of the hunt
er must not be pointed in its direction.
The animal, therefore. may be called
the sacred sheep of Colorado" There
are not many Of them left, but under
the protection of the law they are in
creasing every year There is a band
Of them on the hills between Florence
and Victor, and Mr.. Woodland has a
photograph of bunch grazing on o
hillside a short distance from Florence.

heavily fines those who kill this ami.

A letter received in Mr. Woodlands
Office recently tells Of the arrest and
conviction of one Fred Klantzsky fol
killing a mountain sheep. Klantzsky
was fined $500 and costs in the county
court at Canon City. The costs
amounted to $40. and If the accused

II dined at the Carlton with the

coffee on the raised platform of the
foyer, where the orchestra plays and
where you get an excellent view Of

entertained us with the story of hel

much longer and gone much farther
than had been intended.
The trip she said, ruefully, was
little too successful

PROPER MANAGEMENT OF DOGS
Some Things Lovers Of the Animal
Should Bear In Mind.

In managing your dogs there Will
not perhaps be much fun unless you
can follow your individual notions on
what constitutes enjoyment There is
not perhaps single thrill I'm twisting
your soul to carry out processes which
rasp against the grain. However. am
not your parish priest, but a dog man,
says Joseph A. Graham, in the Out
ing Magazine. Whatever your mag
inaticn may invent, a dog is still a
dog and has none OF the attributes
which we assign to ourselves when we
feel mushy. A dog understands yes"
and Is equally competent to grasp
no" Outside OF that, he is all dog
and follows his dog ways. He INDUCES
in no mental refinement and will not
comprehend many of your changes Of
mood or mind. Whatever you under
take to teach, make It plain, simple
and Interchangeable. 1t is a pity that he
must be taught not to jump up on peo-
pie and compliment them with his ca
resses He means well but must be
disciplined sternly into knowing that
1t Is not in good form under any cir
cumstances. The discipline need not
be accompanied by any severity. A
light touch with whip, If applied in
varlably, will soon settle the matter
Some kennel men adopt the plan of
stepping lightly on the hind foot, and
1t is perhaps the clearest way of con
veying the idea.

Curious Fear Of Fresh Air.

People who were born and bred In
the country and who still live there
are as a rule curiously afraid Of fresh
air From their living rooms, espe-
cially the "parlor," they rigidly ex-
clude every approach of outdoor air
except at housekeeping time, and
they are more cautious still as to
sleeping rooms. The farmers, in
spite OF their outdoor employment,
suffer not a little from consumption
II seems a pity when these country
dwellers might have their lungs filed
with pure, fresh air day and night.
sleeping or waking, that the poi
soned air they breathe at night
should be allowed to Offset the good
effects obtained through the days
work In the field. If the enlightened
visitors, paying guests and summer
boarders who have learned that ones
manner Of life rather than ones place
of living may be depended upon to
prevent consumption would but circu-
late their knowledge in a practical
way In country places their vacations
would accomplish something besides
refreshing OF their own health

Had to Justify Excitement.

A young woman who had her purse

the incident.

recover my voice made so much noise
that everybody, women and all leaped
off the car and started in pursuit of
the thief, who Jumped over the Cen
trail park wall and escaped.
THE funny thing then happened.
All the passengers asked me how
much money had In the purse. OF
course, | had made so much noise

fully. | remember saying "a hundred
or so, when in truth only had a
quarter in the purse. and had Just

Administrators Should Know
This

Foley's Honey and Tar has cured
many cases of asthma that were con-
sidered hopeless. Mrs Adolph Buesing
of 70l West Third street, Davenport,
Iowa, writes: "a severe cold contract
ed twelve years ago was neglected un-
til it finally grew into asthma The
best medical skill available could not
give me more than temporary relief.
Foleys Honey and Tar was recon-
mended and one fifty cent bottle en-
tirely cured me of asthma which had
been growing on me for twelve years,
and if had taken it at the start would
have been saved years OF suffering"
