Carpentras Is a town of Vancluse,
France, and is identified with Carpen-
toracte, a town mentioned by Pliny.
That the name Carpenter, or Car
pentier, as a surname. had its origin
here. is not impossible, and the sug-
gestion is offered for what 1t is worth.
Carpentaria, Australia, was first called
Carpenter. and thus named for Pieter
Carpenter, governor general Of the
Dutch Indies in 1923.

Another John Carpenter was the "a
nous town clerk of London, who died
1442. Nearly 400 years after schools
for boys were established in London,

certain lands. The school, as direct
ed by his will, is for the finding and
bringing up Of foure poore mems chill

with the Carpenters, and fellow stu
dent, and intimate friend of Prince
Henry, afterward Henry ", was John
Carpenter, who became bishop of Wor-
cester. He held his manor in Hereford
shire, by the annual rendering of one
bow Of the value of two shillings, and
one barbed arrow, valued at three
pence.
The poet Of the family, or one, is
Nathaniel, bora at the end Of the six
teenth century. He was poet, philos-
opher and mathematician. The philan-
thropist Is Mary Carpenter, born in

Samuel Carpenter was a member Of
the Friends society Of Philadelphia,
1888. and in less than 20 years was
rated the richest resident in the
province, Penn not being called resi-
dent. Samuel Carpenters house was
considered the finest one in Philadel-
phia, and In later times It was the Of
fetal residence of the governor. It
was sold to John Trent, after whom
Trenton, N. J., was named. In 1893
Joshua Carpenter was rated the rich
est man in the province, next to his
brother Samuel, who, at one time
owned 10000 acres Of land, nearly a
dozen mills, three wharves, possibly
several vessels, and besides his town
house, three country seats.
His wife was Hannah Hardlman,
Welsh maiden. They had five sons and
two daughters. A granddaughter,
Martha Carpenter, married Reese Mere

Jersey. Hannah, sister of Martha, was
the wife of Joseph Wharton, from

1t is well known that the human

cess. With advancing years or
waning vitality this tissue-change
lags; the lifeless. soiled surface
skin stays on SO long that it's own

Common sense tells us this
dead skin cannot be enlivened or
beautified by any cosmetic, lotion
or powder. The natural thing to
do Is to remove the offensive skin

has been found that ordinary mer-
colized wax completely absorbs
the devitalized skin, in minute
particles, so gently, gradually, as
to cause no inconvenience. Merco-
liZed wax, which any druggist can
supply, is put on at night like cold
cream, only not rubbed in, and
washed off in the morning. II

Prince Ching had been appointed
prime minister of the Chinese en-

In truth, Prince Ching is the

ouse him of the vilest murders,

but nobody can say he doesn't

is polite, courteous, and has a
way of bowling backwards which
pIeases the princesses at the Chi

Prince Ching is a member of
the Manchus, a race which has
ruled China for centuries. He
hates the Chinese. The only use
he has for them is to rob them.
That he has done for more than
fifty years. Merchants, coolies,
professional men, all of the Chi
nese have had to pay tribute to
Prince Ching, once prince of the
lowest degree, and now OF the
highest. Nor has he ever hest

This business of running a store

foolish. What we do say is, that

then the Hallett & Davis manufac-

America. Think of that! Best of

they were sold in Tacoma before

This Explains Why.
A piano can be sold much cheap
er out of a store where the rent
is less than an eighth-yes, we
mean it, LESS THAN AN EIGHTH
of what other big fine snowy
piano stores are paying. Again,
we have no high salaried statesmen,
no bevy of bookkeepers, stenog-
raphers, repairing men, janitors,
etc. This expense can easily run
up into thousands of dollars
monthly. We own and operate
our own business. Our business
is conducted at an expense of less
than one-twelfth what other big
costly stores must pay out each
month. And it is having telling
effect. The people who have
bought pianos the past six weeks
have looked around. They have
come in here. The result is, they
have bought pianos from us for so

Is He Must Spend

RACETRACK, DIME NOVELS HUNGER FORCED POOR
IMMIGRANT BOY TO BECOME CRIMINAL.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 25.-Joe
Siegel murdered a man and he
must pass all his life in San Quen-
tin prison. Only IS years old,
just when he should be at school
or learning a trade, this unfor-
tunate boy begins the most miser-
able existence that falls to the lot
of man. And why? Because he
had the wrong views of life.
Life to him conferred about the
dime novel, the poolroom and the
racetrack. He was not inclined
to crime, but, alone and friend
less in a strange city, without
money or job, hardened associates
painted crime to him as an avenue
of escape from the miserable
hand-to-mouth existence he led.
He was weak and fell.
These pals told him that to
stick up" a man was easy; he
could make "a piece Of money
without working.
They did not tell him of the
darker inside of crime-of the side
that all criminals must some time
meet. They did not tell him 1of
the pursuit, the arrest, the sure
and heavy punishment. Above all
they did not tell him of the bitter
remorse, the never fading memoir
les, the sleepless nights behind
steel bars.
He tried to hold up a man and
shot him, he says, accidentally.
He ran, but was soon caught and
convicted.
