Englishmen Think George
V Too Sedate-The Tame
Sailor King" Loves His
Family and Home.

LONDON, May 12.-When King
Edward grew alarmingly i'll in 1909,
Englishmen turned their eyes to-
ward their future sovereign. Dur
ing his fathers reign George had
kept in the background and was lit
tie known to the millions of souls
in the British empire.
Edward went away to seek a new
lease of life, and left the king busi-
ness in charge of George, and for
three months his son handled the
affairs OF state as sort of appren-
tice king. He liked it, and the peo-
pie had just begun to know him
when Edward returned and sent
George back to laying cornerstones
and opening bazars. Since then,
however, more attention was paid
to the character and personality of
George.
But to the man in the street the
new king is an unknown figure so
far as his character and capabili-
ties are concerned. Asked what
kind of man the new king is, the
average man will probably reply,
"Oh, he's usually looked upon as a
bit of fool" He has little reason
for saying this.
People with long memories look
back and say: Twenty years ago
King Edward was regarded as a
fool and a 'waster' by the British
public. Before his death he was
looked upon as magnificent man
of affairs and a heaven-sent diplo-
matist."
The answer is that both men had
their period of obscurity. George V
Is likely to show people that he is
man of greater ability than sup
posed.
This is the description of the king
given by one OF his own most init
mate friends:
He is a quiet, shy, reserved man
with excellent capabilities and a
great deal of affection. He is fine
man of business and has great pow
ers OF organization. Had he not
been prince of Wales he might have
run large business concern with
/ ,iNat chNNNno' AL th' tililt ilS HAS
been trying to qualify himself to
fill the position of king of England
in the same manner as an able law
yer might try to qualify for the of
flee of judge. AS king he will be
known as a tremendous worker and
a man of distinct ability and con-
scientiousness.'
This statement bears out what
has been said by the general run
of the kings friends. Some of
these add that his greatest charac-
teristic is his liking for domestic
Quietude and his intense affection
for his children. They add that in
private life he is "A kindly, quiet
hammered English gentleman, with
a strong sense of humor, a desire
to see all around him happy.
He was an admiral of the British
navy and field marshal of the
British army. But in the army he
is not greatly interested. He is,
however, an accomplished and prac-
tical sailor. Up to the time he was

DEAD IN BED, WITH
A WHITE DRUG

Lying dead in his bed, with bot
tie of some white drug, bearing no
label, at his side, Jacob Gade, age
about % years, was found at the
Butte lodging house, 0506 Monroe
street, this morning. The cause of
the death is still a mystery, the cor
oner not yet having become salts
fled as to whether death resulted
from a draught of the mysterious
medicine or from a common case of
heart disease.
Gade is man of large physique
and it is at present surmised that
he died from fatty heart. He is
supposed to have succumbed about
midnight, though the body was not
found till early this morning. The
father of the deceased is resident

SCHOOL GIRLS AS MATTRESSES;

ARE DEMANDING
AN EXPLANATION

The more people consider the ac-
ton of the city council in receding
from its demand for the granting
of terminal rates as condition to
the passage Of the franchise of the
North Coast and Milwaukee rail-
roads, the more questionable does
the action Of the council begin to
appear.
There are those who today freely
charge that the council was inn

agents Of the railroads that tried
to line up the forces Of union labor
in favor Of the franchises have also
succeeded in getting the council in

BUNGALOW RAG RUGS

Old fashions and hand work are
having such a vogue at present that
a few hints regarding the sewing of
rags for old-fashioned rag rugs may
not come amiss.
The great popularity of the rag rug
is due, at least partially, to the fact
that an artistic rug following any
color scheme may be made at a very
reasonable price, especially so if one
sews her own rags. Although they
may be bought at a very low price
in the stores, the quality is apt to be
inferior to the homemade ones.
The cost of the rug cannot be deter
mined by the price of the material by
the yard, as light weight stuffs at
cents a yard will often make a more
costly rug than a heavy material at
Is cents. When thin materials are
used they must be torn into wide
strips as they weave very narrow.
Heavy stuffs must be cut narrow,
hence a much smaller quantity will be
needed. While cheesecloth, for in
stance, is inexpensive by the yard.
so much of it is required for even
small rug that it is more costly in
the end than a heavier and more ex-
pensive material. Often seconds may
be had for a very small sum, and as
the blemishes do not show in the fin
ished rug, answer every purpose. If
a rough surface rug is desired the rags
must be torn, but for smooth sur
face they should be cut.
The old-fashioned way of sewing
them by hand was an unnecessary
waste of time. The ends should be
Tapped over one another and sewed
on the machine.
BY starting on the edge and stitch
ing in half circle to back within an
inch of the starting point you are
ready for the next strip, and SO on in
definitely.
When you have sewed as much as
you care to handle on the machine you
have only to cut the threads between
the strips and the rags are ready to
wind. They should be wound in balls
of uniform size weighing about
pound, as that is a size and weight
easy to handle, and also helps in de-
termining the quantity necessary for
the size rug you desire. 1t takes about
three pounds of rags for every square
yard of rug.
If you have an abundance OF white
rags a few packages of different dyes
will give you any color scheme you
wish to carry out. The dyes are easy
to use and will save many pennies,
besides enabling you to get the de-
sired color.
The "hit or miss" rugs with stripes
of plain color in the border are pretty
