TO RENovArE THE CARPET.
Treatment That Will Mako II Almost
Like New.

Many a perfectly good carpet be-

out being actually old. The figures lose
their brightness and the grain Is
rough and unkempt looking. Here Is
a simple process by which the carpet
or rug will once more look present
able, and as good as new. 1t Is vouch-
ed for by a contemporary.
Cut an of yellow soap into
squares, and with them make a lather
with a pint of clear boiling water. Add
to this lather a quart of hot water and
an ounce of borax. Place the mixture
on the range, and bring the entire
preparation to a boil. Remove it, set
it to cool, and when quite cold add one
ounce each Of alcohol and ammonia
and half an ounce of glycerin.
Wipe v e only a small portion Of
the carpet at a time, and rub vigor-
ously with a clean flannel (Which
should be repeatedly turned as it be-
comes soiled) dipped into the mix
ture, until finally all the spots are re-
moved and the color revived.
The result will be surprising, for
the change and improvement are re-
markable.

Of thanksgiving for me-" she thought
drearily, as she sat in her widows
weeds in the square wooden pew.
The long. long prayer was finished.
Patience liked the prayer, for in it she
could hide her face. II was never too
long for her, although a modern
church-goer would be aghast at having
to listen to even a sermon of such
a length. The psalms of rejoicing had
bee sung. These had been harder
to bear. The preacher had settled into
his discourse. He had turned his hour
glass, and was already at thirdly"
God in his providence has ex-
ceedingly blessed us in delivering
us from danger-he was saying. Pa
thence %shuddered. What good was it
to her to be delivered since John had
persisted under the Indian ~tomahawk!
A figure appeared in the doorway.
Such a figure! Gaunt, tattered, wild
eyed, unkempt, b~arefooted, bleeding
a mere skeleton covered with ragged
shreds of garments. 1t stood in the
doorway quivering and motioning
strangely.
Patience! Patience." 1t cried.
Ills some crazy eXhorter such as
used to come and harrangue the con-
gregations in my grandfather's time,"
said Judge Fletcher, whose ancestor
had been a judge in the days of the
persecution Of A~nabaptists and
Quakers. The tithing-man stalked
down the aisle to put out the intruder.
Some of the men half rose, but sat
down again when they saw that the
matter was being attended to. 1t was
a dreadful thing in those days to dis
turb a meeting. But John HalcOmb's
widow, unmindful of disturbance, start
ed up at the cry and fairly ran down
the aisle.
1T is John! 1t Is joint she
cried.
Never had a religious service in
Bethlehem Hill been broken up like
this one. The minister stopped in
the very middle of his most important
sentence. The dreaded tithing-man
himself, who bore Upon his soul the
awful responsibility of every man and
woman, boy and girl in the meeting
house, forgot it all and cried out like
a frightened boy: 1T is a ghost!"
But it was not a ghost. 1t was
John Halcomb himself, safe.
The story of the Indian attack on
the village of Wyoming in ITS is a
story of marvellous escapes as we'll as
of torture and massacre. No adven-
ture in it seems more marvellous than
that OF John Halcomb which is one Of
the well attested stories of his
tory.
With Is other captives, John Hal
comb had been ranged around a large
fiat stone while a woman fury called
Queen Esther" who seemed at the
head of this ceremony of sacrifice Of
prisoners, crushed the heads of one
after the other with a great stone
death maui. Two Of the captives sud-
denly leaped to their feet and dashed
into the forest. The Indians pursued
them but did not shoot, probably be-
cause their plan was to bring them

Satisfy %FRITTERS ARE GOOD.
Will Prove Excellent Substitute for
Fried Oysters.

Scrape and slice a quart Of satisfy
roots and simmer in boiling sailed
water until tender. If they are to be
used for dinner at night they should
be put to cook early in the afternoon.
Let the water boil off instead of drain
ing, in order to preserve the fine oy-
ster flavor of the plant. Press through
a colander. Sift into a bowl a pint of
flour, two t~easpoonfuls of baking pow
der and one-half teaspoonful of salt.
Beat two eggs thoroughly and add to
them enough sweet milk to make a
good muffin batter when added to the
dry ingredients. Drop in the satisfy,
season with pepper and more salt if
necessary. Have ready a frying pan
in which is a tablespoonful of good
pork drippings or olive oil, and when
smoking hot drop in the fritters from
the point of a spoon. When brown on
one side, turn with a perforated ladle,
rest for a moment on soft paper to
absorb all grease, and serve hot.
These are almost as good as fried
oysters.

more are returning every day to keep

There is a regular etiquette in re-

lucky stranger who unconsciously sins
against the cast iron rules laid down
in this supposedly most democratic
Of cities.

must be called on by the cabinet, sen.

the members of the cabinet call on

T probably will be a relief to the
great masses of the people to
know finally and positively that Miss
Edith Root, daughter of the secretary
of state, and Ulysses S. Grant III. are
to have an extremely simple and quiet
wedding at the home of the brides
parents on Rho. ,e Island emu The
Children of the big ones, especially in
Washington, ordinarily have enough
spent on the gewgaws of their we'd
dings to keep them in household sup
plies for 10 years. The only social
affairs in Washington mOr costly
than funerals are the weddings.
The daughter of the secretary of
state is to marry the grandson of a
PRESIDENT and the greatest soldier of
his time, and few people are to be
gathered together to witness the cere-
mony. It is a fine and an appealing
a lot of presents. Neither the bride
nor the groom, 1t is supposed, can
prevent the flood of gifts which the
prominence of their families will start.
Young Grant is a quiet, unassuming
studious fellow, with a bent of mind
for mathematics, for he graduated
into the army's engineering corps.
The bride is a girl of domestic tastes.
She has been comparatively little
known in the swirling circle Of Wash
ington society. 1t is said that she
has good sound sense, and her dis

The senatorial and congressional

men have held office noted. The
house members are not as exacting
and a little more license is permitted
them, but still an immense amount OF
form is necessary to steer clear OF the
breakers of social political life.
Diplomats are exempt to a certain
extent, as after presenting their Gre
dentials to the president they quietly
await the onslaught of visitors. 1t
requires a discriminating foreigner or
one who has employed a secretary
from the very innermost fold of the
fashionable set to tell whom to re-
ceive and whom not and to sift the
shower of cards that descend upon
him, especially if he belongs to the
diplomatic corps.
Washington is an especially easy
city for outsiders, as they have the
right of way and must call first on all
those who hold an official position.
These visits are returned and thus the
thin edge of the wedge is inserted that
leads to social distinction.

BE MOST SIMPLE AFFAIR

inclination to go the rounds seems to-
prove the point.
1t is understood that young Grant
has no money beyond his pay. He is
a first lieutenant of engineers and his
wage is about $125 a month. He gets
an allowance for quarters, however.
provided he is on detached duty where
there are no army quarters. The gov
eminent will give him and his wife
three rooms to live IN, or if he is away
from an army post it will give him the
equivalent of the rent of three rooms
1t is said that Edith Root, although
the daughter of a rich man, is per-
fectly capable of keeping house in
three rooms, and keeping house there
contentedly.
Lieut.. Grant has an enormously
wealthy aunt, who lives part of the
time in Chicago, but he has nc expec-
tations from her, and he is too much
of a Grant to take anything if it were
offered. Elihu Roots father was a
college professor, who was earning
about $1,000 a year, perhaps less, when
Elihu was a boy.
1t isn't at all probable that he will
contribute largely to the household
funds of his future son-in-law. He
doubtless would prefer to let the
young couple go it alone for some time
to come. This wedding promises to be
entirely satisfactory from every in
trinsically valuable American view

Aside from this visit the day was
marked by no special observance.
There were family congratulations and
presents, and the president attended
Grace Dutch Reformed church as is
his custom. Returning from church.
he spent an hour in the White House
Office, and in the afternoon took a
long walk into the suburbs of Wash
ington, on which he was accompanied
by Secretary Root.
Although 40 years old, President
Roosevelt, after six years as the head
of the nation, is only two years older
than President Grant when he took
the oath; a year older than President
Cleveland and the same age as Presi-
dent Pierce. He is still a much
younger man than were his %predeces-
sors when they assumed Ofice-McKin-
ley at 54, Lincoln at So, Tyler and Ar

add the flour. Let this boil about a
minute, or until the flour is thoroughly
cooked, stirring it the while. Remove
from the fire and add the vanilla.
Have ready the whites of the eggs
beaten to a stiff froth. Pour over
them the hot boiled milk and flour and
stir all well together. Then pour this
into the pie crust, which has previous
ly been baked. Place in the oven un-

In the afternoon he received a COM
mittee of ten representing the Hun
garian Republican club of New York,
of which the president is an honorary
member. The custom of the club of
extending it's congratulations to Mr..
Roosevelt on his birthday began when
he was governor of New York. He
became a member on his return from
Cuba in 1898, and during his first cam
paign for governor of the state of
New York the club took an active
part in New York city. The commit
tee extended congratulations on the

Mistress Prudence made a sign for
silence, but it was too late. The
face Of the pale young widow grew
whittier, and without a word she rose
and glided away.
Mistress Lovejoy looked at her sis
ter-in-law inquiringly.
Hath she not yet become recon
ciled to the decree of God?" she asked.
Mistress Prudence shook her head.
"Nay," she said. "She saith ever that

she had not come away from her hus-
band against his desires-so she saith
ever-she would at least have died
with him"
THAT is wicked repining,' said the
aunt sententiously. she ought to be
dealt with by the meeting. She
should be thankful that her life was
spared when her neighbors were
taken. Doubtless 1t was a leading of
the Spirit that caused her to come
here e'er the sayages fell upon wy
oming. She, above all others, surely
has reason to be thankful. You
should deal with her, sister, and check
this untoward spirit" said Mistress
Lovejoy sternly. Mistress Prudence
sighed.
Il know not rightly how to do it
when she is in such sorrow" she said.
"She hath ever been a willful and IN
reasonable child, but a very loving
one"
You have ever spoiled her, and her
husband did the same. Perhaps this
Is a punishment to you both," said
Mistress Lovejoy.
Mistress Patience, a bride of a year,
had left her home in Wyoming valley
for a visit with her mother in an
older settlement. She had begged and
pleaded to make this visit with a will
full demand that would not be denied.
It was an unusual occurrence. The
Journey through the wilderness was
too long and toilsome to think of Wis
its. Most of the mothers who said
farewell to daughters going to pio-
neer homes could hardly expect to see
them again. But Mistress Patience
who was anything but patient in spite
Of her name-would not submit to this
state Of things. She begged and
pleaded to go until her h~usband-to
whom her lightest wish was law-gave
his consent. He was the more ready
to do this as there were ugly rumors
Of alliance between the British tory
forces and the Indians and the settle
ment Of Wyoming, standing on a dis
puted tract, and not so well protected
as other regions was peculiarly liable
to attack. But Mistress Patience did
not know this or she would not have
gone. She vas very much in love
with this grave, middle-aged husband,
who treated his young wife like a pet
ted child. Many Of the settlers had
shaken their heads over Mistress Pa
fences going. HE ought not to let
her do It" they had said.
Il will only stay a little while. l
will come back soon," she had said
at the parting, regretful at the last
minute for her action. But the saw
age Indians had come down upon the
village of Wyoming and swept it off
from the face Of the earth. The houses
were burnt, the people massacred or
carried away captive. Every day
brought a fresh story of horror, espe-
cially dreadful had been the tale of
John Halcomb and Is companions who
had been carried off and sacrificed in
q sort Of religious ceremony.
"She must be reused. She must see
people. I would make her, go to the
Thanksgiving service" said Mistress
Lovejoy. She was a notable manager,
and her sister-in-law. with all the vii
lage. were wont to submit to her
sway; and Patience went to the sery-
ice.
