who is again a candidate for re-

but for some reason was inclined
early in the political game to for

Mr. Resler has thought better Of
the matter, that he has not only
withdrawn from the race but has
actually pledged support to Mr..

The following from Hampden
Reporter bears on the subject:
Funny things happen in this
world of ours quite frequently
nowadays, and many things are
made to appear more funny by
their absurdity. Probably some

cularly newspaper men, will
hedge around on one side and
then on another waiting for some
politician to come forward and
offer him the earth for his sup

1.-THE law as handed down to

political faction. An amusing
incident along this line has al
ready occurred in connection
with the coming campaign.
Mr.. Resler Of the StarkWeather

supporter Of the Hon. Geo. w.

one Of the best fellows living,

our present system is wrong.
Merchants cannot do "a credit

Relics From the Past

CHIRAZ, for more than thousand years
~ the capital of ancient Persia has pro
duced some of the most famous carpets
of antiquity. It's fiocks feed at an altitude
of four thousand feet above the sea, and
the white wool is handled by masters
of the art A characteristic design has
three medallions on a field of dark blue,
which is partially covered with small pat
terms, including birds as well as flowers
Rugs woven in Meshed are the finest
of any in the Khorasan district, some of
them comparing favorably with those of
Tabriz. Rich in color and lustrous in
effect, they carry in pattern the river
loop on a large scale, or they may have
a peculiar cone-shap ped figure all over the
center. Like the Kirmanshahs, the pre-
vailing tints are delicate shades of pink
and blue combined with old ivory white.
The Herat carpets are closely wrought,
but the wool is SO fine that they are very
soft in texture. The color combination
has enjoyed the highest favor among
native masters, Wills IN material DIVES,
and workmanship they void high rank.
In pattern they resembl, the Feraghans,
having the same floral designs, although
the waving lines in the border are differ
emily arranged.

soft colors come out in all their mellow
richness The lower border comes first
from the patient hands, then medallions
are formed in geometrical designs, beau

vines, or all together woven into picture

Counterfeits and hurnbugs, some of

most subtle of humanity is greatly mis-
taken. Aniline dyes have been Struggled
into the sacred precincts of Persian manu-

pensive rug must beware of the colors,
especially of vivid orange or new shade
of magenta. Otherwise, a single figure
may decay before his eyes, while the yarn
of other colors retains its wearing quail

The new dyes are very seductive in
color and price; but the Shah sent forth

is the laying of the thumb upon the edge,
and then counting the knots which have

as fnenesS of texture. They show care

textile rules, with strong cOlors of native

Herez rugs are also made in this dis

Kurdistan fabrics are among the best

pasturage there as a mass of sweet

those of Kirman, while the pile exceeds
that celebrated product. The coloring

Every Boy

We want to say a few
plain, honest things to
you, if you are between,
say, twelve and sixteen
years old.
Only one boy out of a
great many boys ever
amounts to anything of
consequence.
The other boys are
proud of being rough.
They think they will be
" dudes if they keep
tn themselves cleanly
w S h ed and nea thy
dressed. They do not
love clean, healthy out
door games and sport,
and plenty of it. They
like better to loaf on
street corners and brag
about what they will do
when they are men.

when they grow up to
be men, will, nine times
out of ten, be working
for some other man.
They will be cheap men,
who can only make a
living" by hiring out to
some other man.
Our advice is: Take part of the
time-not all, by any means
for something that will fit you to
be that other man when you grow
up. Start now to train yourself to
be the man who hires men. DON'T
grow up to be one of the hired
men.
We want you to work for The
SATURDAY EVENING PosT and
The LADIES' HOME JOURNAL.
The commissions are large, and
so are the prizes. Some boys on
our staff have won as much as
$500. You can take your own
time for it and still earn money
easily. Other boys have done it;
so can you.
Write to US and we will tell you
how some of them did it. Then
you can do as they did and earn

manshah carpets have been sold for
thirteen thousand dollars and upward.
The Sarakhs are the genuine Lules, and
also belong to the same grand division
They are noted for strong colors and
vivid effects. but the tints are few. A
scroll pattern is sometimes used, but pure
Persian originality is shown in all their
designs, which may include medalhons
in varied shape and arrangement.
The antiques of the Feraghan fabrics
represent skilful workmanship, some of
them being among the finest of the old
Iranian weaves. The type is distinct
the color of the background being usually
of dark blue, although it is sometimes a
soft shade of red or old ivory white. The
design is often in rosettes and long leaves;
a medallion may be set in the field with
corresponding corner pieces. There are
few borders, but sometimes one will be
found which is covered at spaces of about
six inches with Persian vases. The
modern rugs of this class, however, do not
maintain the old standards of excellence
