resemblance Of frost and snow must
be produced as a back ground for furs

as a background for furniture In

nm Old BOOKsTALL.

Here for song you may command
Old books, well thumbed and hoary:
Along the grimy walls they stand,
Tones of immortal story.
And out Of reach. on lOftter shelves
Beyond our small ambitions
And slender purse, dwell by themselves
The cOstlier first editions
There let them rest till Croesus comes;
We really do not need them.
Content to banquet on the crumbs
We buy our boOks-and read them.
The one that bears the marks Of use,
Back broken, worn and shattered,
Is dearer that its leaves are loose,
Its poor frame rent and tattered.
This grim old keeper of the stall
Tends these dead things in leather
And sheep and cloth and parchment-aIl
Close sepulchered together:
And few, alas besides ourselves
Who prOwI about the portals,
Seek out along the dusty shelves
The names Of these immortalS
They are not dead, these silent tones:
They die not, save in seeming:
Far from these bOokish catacombs
They fill the world with dreaming.
And each that some small message gives,
Or makes for high endeavor,
Puts off mortality. but lives
And works its will foreveri

FIGHTS JOHNSON
GRASS WITH STEAM

Johnson grass is on the run. D. w
Sullivan is the nemesis of the much
hated grass which has caused the
ranchers of the southwest so much
trouble. Mr.. Sullivan has invented a
steam apparatus for destroying the
pest. 1t is a boiler with a heavy rub
Der steam hose and a bent pipe ar
rangement which is driven into the
ground to the roots of the johnson
grass and live steam turned into the
pipes.
The inventor, who was in Ell Paso
Thursday on his way to Phoenix, Arlz-,
says that the machine works perfect
~ and that a field of Johnson grass
can be killed in a short time by the
use of the steam machines. It kills the
stalks and seeds of the grass and guar
antees ii not to return after the field
has been treated with the grass de-
stroyer. Mr.. Sullivan has asked for
a patent on his invention and will mar
received. He will make his headquar-
tiers in Phoenix for the present.

A n elevator is a sort of passenger
"A skyrOcket by which person can
= be yanked off the earth and into
a cooler climate 40 stories above in less
time than it would take him to climb
three flights of stairs and mop his fore
head twice.
The elevator was invented in Amer
lea, which also produced the quick
lunch counter, the revolver. and other
time savers and it has enabled man to
colonize the air. Half a century ago
nobody lived more than 20 feet above
the ground. Nowadays men do business
happily 700 feet aloft and discharge
their office boys for stealing eagles
eggs off of the fire escapes instead of
attending to business.
Some elevators travel 800 feet a min
ute, making stops at all way stations,
while others run express to the three
dozenth floor at the rate of 600 feet a
minute, the passengers vital organs fol-
lowing slightly behind. By taking a To-
cal up four floors and catching an ex-
press down to the city proper, hurried
financier can leave his office in the sun
shine, slide down through a thunder
storm and borrow an umbrella from a
friend on the sidewalk in less than a
minutes time. ..-.-.--..
Elevators are run by men and boys,
who are kept so busy that they do not
have time to take tips. This accounts
for the enormous popularity of this in
genious contrivance in this country.
Elevators occasionally fall. but not as
often as aeroplanes or brick houses.
They are not as dangerous as street cars

OF instantaneous. water heaters ard no..
body minds them in this country. How
ever, they are regarded with great ter
Tor in Europe, and are only used as a
last resort. An Englishmsn runs an
elevator as if he were moving a barn and
only the leisure class has time to ride
in them.
Elevators have increased the Joy of the
American busiress man by taking him
above the fly line, the dust line, the
noise line, tie book agent line, and the
skyline. They are almost the only free
thing left n America. The New Yorker
who hasrt the price of a ticket to
Coney Island need never despair so long
as he csn climb on an elevator and travel
so higl in two minutes that he can see
half way back to his old western home.

CHANCE FOR PHILATELISTS

1t is announced that the little prin-
cipality of Lichtenstein, situated be-
tween Switzerland and Vororlberg, in
the Tyrol. is to issue its own stamps.
In effect it will do away with, or at
least modify the existing convention
by which the principaIity's postal serv-
ice was in the hands of the Austro-
Hungarian authorities. The new
stamps will bear the efigy OF the
reigning prince, Prince John OF Lich-
tenstein.
Lichtenstein, with the exception of
San Marine and Monaco, is the small
est independent state in Europe. 1t
is twelve miles in length, and its area
is 68.8 square miles. Its population
is something like 10000, and, it is
said, contains more men than women.
The capital is Vaduz, with popula-
ton of / 100. There is diet of twelve
members, elected indirectly. The rul-
ing prince has court at Vienna, and
the final court of appeal is at Inns
bruck There is no pubIfc debt. From
the last returns the expenditure for
the year showed about SS5 less than
the receipts. There is customs union
with Austria, for which Austria pays
$1,000 a year. There is now no COM
pulsory military service within the
principality.
