old cotton and woolen rags. To prepare
these for weaving the rags should be cut
into strips one inch wide, tapping the
ends, one over the other. and sewing
one and one-half pounds to make one
square yard.
If the rags are Of heavy goods, then it
is wiser to allow two pounds to one
rugs is 35 cents yard, IL one yard wide.
but IL wider width is desired. then the
cost is 30 cents per square yard.
Few women. perhaps. know that old
soiled or faded chenille curtains and
draperies can be rewoven into handsome
reversible rugs. but this can be done at a
house where the carpets are undertaken.
1t requires five pounds to make one square
yard, which. roughly estimated, is usu-
ally the weight of one curtain.
Rugs from old carpets can be woven
plain or with borders and with fringed
ends, as the customer wishes.
Band borders are placed few inches
above the edge on the ends of rugs. End
borders are woven on the extreme edge,
and then there is a third border effect.
This goes around the four sides. There Is
no extra charge for the border decorating
the ends of the rugs. but II 1t goes all
added.
When fancy rug is desired, the same
kind of carpet in two different colors
must be sent-to make the border or
center, as the case may D0.
One dollar .per square yard Is the cost
of reweaving when the rug is to measure
two square yards. This includes the rugs
made with band borders. but II fringe is
added fifteen cents extra per running yard
will be charged. The fringe is vegetable
dyed. woven into the rug and cannot pull
out like the fringe that is sewed on. These
rugs may be woven in any size-quite an
advantage over ready-made ones. which
come in standard sizes only.
In shipping. old carpets should be tied
securely with strong rope and tag at
tached bearing the name and address Of
the sender.
A duplicate tag should be placed inside
the carpet. City orders are called for and
delivered free. Out-of-town orders weigh
ing less than 100 pounds should be sent by
express.
Bundles over this weight should be sent
by freight. on account of expense
Expressage should be prepaid the manu-
facturer paying one way only.

A Few Suggestions.

While the Dutch neck remains in fash
ion women cannot be too careful about
the manner In which they wear them
for it is exceedingly bad form to expose
the throat and chest when walking on
city streets, and this style should be con-
fined to use In the country and for IN
door wear.
1t is not proper to tuck ones hand
kerchief inside the open neck Of ones
gown. making use of this opening as a
place of safety for the mouchoir. and nc
person who desires to be thought well
bred will do it. To pull out even hand-
kerchief from inside ones waist is unre-
fined The handkerchief should be kept
up the sleeve, which fashion still counte-
nances. or in a fancy bag to match the
gown. which is one OF the fads OF the
summer.
Either through thoughtlessness or 1g-
norance, some women have trick OF
continually fussing at the neck OF
Dutch cut waist. They give It little pulls
as il it did not fit comfortably. or hitch
il with their shoulders as IL they felt
out of place in it. Such movement Is
most unpleasant, for it not only makes
the person who does it conspicuous. but
1t calls attention to probable defects
which were better concealed.
More reprehepsible still is the habit OF
thrusting ones hand inside the Dutch
neck to arrange an undergarment. the
shoulders of which have slipped or are
pulling These are matters to be at
terded to in the privacy of ones room
and II is most indelicate to do anything
OF this sort In public places or in the
presence Of others.
One of the laws of good breeding fs to
keep ones self as inconspieuous as pos
s;ble, and women should bear this in
mind just now on the trains. when there
is so much travelling back and forth from
country TO town. They should not talk
i'm loud tones which carry conversations
over the car to the annoyance or amuse-
ment. as ii may be, of others.
When they have been shopping they
I:.ust refrain from unwrappjns their pur-
chases and hooking at them. or showing
them to some friend with, whom they may
be sitting on their way home. These

TWAS new KIND Of "SIUMP"
DISTRICT ATTORNEY BAKER
BEHIND THE HOE.
Justice Gould Wins "Good Dinner"
as Easily AZ Rolling
OF a Log.

1t looks easy to remove tree stumps
when one watches the uprootfng by force
of dynamite. but when manual labor has
to be resorted to the task becomes ardu-
ous At least this is the experience of
United States Attorney Baker. who is
having a portion of his farm near Ger
mantown. Nd. cleared Of stumps.
:. Mr.. Baker was entertaining his friend
Justice Ashley NJ. Gould one day last
week. and AZ they sat on the porch Of
Mr.. Bakers bungalow conversation drift
ed to the amount Of effort requisite to re-
move stump. After watching for some
time how easily the remnants of large
trees were uprooted by the workmen
with the assistance Of dynamite. Mr..
Baker conceived the notion that he could
take pick. grubbing hoe and shovel
and run opposition to the compelling
force Of the explosive.
Turning to Justice Gould he said:
Judge. I believe I could remove one of
those stumps in three hours
''you couldn't make an impression on
it in that time commented Justice

Justice Gould unhesitatingly accepted
the wager. and early the next morning
Mr. Baker put on his working clothes.
including a sweater, and. calling a friend.
who was stopping at the house, to hold
the watch. he started in to remove the
chosen stump Mr.. Bakers previous eff
forts ION the stump had been confined
to political speeches. where he has al
ways been successful, so he tackled this
particular stump with alacrity.
Laboriously he worked with pick and
shovel, dirt new in every direction, and
beads of perspiration gathered on the
brow Of the workman. Every fifteen min
utes Justice Gould. coolly attired. ap-
peared on the porch. and. making a
speech on the nobility of labor. urged his
host to renewed effort.
One hour passed. Mr.. Baker still toiled,
but his efforts were growing weaker.
FIFTEEN minutes more elapsed, he was
stiM working. but resting between each
stroke Of the pick. Another fifteen min
utes found Justice Gould on the porch
with his little speech of encouragement,
but Mr.. Baker was ''all i'm
you win," he sheepishly admitted, as
he threw down the tools and gave up the
task in disgust.
The stump. still firmly. rooted. was re-
moved later by the explosive method. and
Mr. Baker says the same means will be
employed in removing all the remaining
ones on the farm.

working over fifty men in extracting
the ore. On the SOO-foot level they
have a six-foot ledge of Shipping ore
that goes high in silver and lead. The
ore body is widening and increasing
in value as depth is attained, and
when the mine is thoroughly develop
ed it will make one of the largest
producers in the state. They have
been shipping thirty tons of ore daily
for the past few months and are re-
ceiving a net return of about 500 to
the ton.
"Joe Kendall of this city, who has
charge of--the lease, stated that
the output of the mine will soon be
increased to fifty tons daily and all
the ore will be taken from the big
ledge. The lease has only five months
to run before expiring, and it is ex-
pected that large force of men will
be added to the present number
now working. The vein can be trac-
ed for four miles across the country
and number of applications for
leases on other properties have been
made"

PETTY Thieves
MAKE GOOD HAULS
FROM Mines
HAVE STRIPPED SEVERAL LO-
CAL HOSTS OF BRASS
TRIMMINGS.

A system of pilfering has been go
ing on in this vicinity for some time,
and from the information received
last night the state penitentiary at
Carson will probably have several
new boarders who will register from
Tonopah. The petty thieves have
broken into the shaft houses of the
Halifax, Belmont Extension and
Gypsy Queen mines, and have nearly
wrecked the machinery in their en-
deavor to carry away all the brass
parts. At the Halifax the air COM
pressor was completely stripped of its
brass and small components. The
Belmont Extension hoist is practical
ly ruined, and at the Gypsy Queen the
thieves even carried away with them
the window stills.
For a long time Tonopah has been
free from the petty crimes that are
prevalent among most mining camps.
This has been due to the efforts of
the police force in keeping the town
clear of suspicious characters, and
also the severe sentences dealt Grim
inals in both the justice and district
courts.
