Dinner Stories

A CURIOUS story is told as to
~ how the Rothschilds supported
Carafa, the composer. The
latter was far from rich. His princi-
pal income was derived from snuff
box. And this was the way of it:
The snuff box was given to the
author of La Prison d'Edinbourgh"
about thirty years ago by Baron
James de Rothschild as a token of
esteem. Carafa sold it twenty-four
hours later for seventy-five napoleons
to the same jeweler from whom it
had been bought. This became known
to Rothschild, who gave it again to
the musician on the following year.
The next day 1t returned to the
jewelers. This traffic continued till
the death of the banker, and longer
STILL for his sons kept up the ira
dition, to the great satisfaction of

Electrical Gifts Are .
Useful and Pretty

What makes more ideal Christmas
present than an article which fills daily
household need and at the same time is so
constructed as to be an ornament in and
out of use?
What gift would cause the recipient
more joy than an Electric ChaHng Dish,
or Coffee Percolator, or Toaster Stove,
or Tea Samovar. or Table Range, or
any one of score or more electrical appli-
ances designed for use in the home?
What gift would go as far, for as little
money, in tightening the burdens of house
work than an Electric Iron? What would
give more comfort in moments of physical
distress than an Electric Heating Pad?
Anybody who uses electricity can af-
ford to use any of the above mentioned
articles. Two or three cents an operation
covers the cost. There is no estimating
the benefit or satisfaction they give in dol
lars and cents.
A visit to our showrooms would repay
you, even if you do not purchase. See
for yourself what electricity can do at
small cost in the home.

ouR NEW GARAGE.

During the long and tedious sum-
mer months we labored on an inven-
ton which is expected to make US
rich beyond the dreams OF avarice.
The invention Is now complete and
is ready to be placed upon the mar
ket as soon as we can float the bonds,
initiate the capital stock, water the
valuation, oil the machinery and turn
on the steam. Nothing like it has
been invented since the odorless
onion.
Our invention comes to fill long
felt want. 1t is nothing more or less
than a collapsible garage which can
bet set up or taken down in eight min
utes, central standard time, and is
meant for the use of automobile own
ers who cannot pay their rent and
are obliged to move frequently to diff
ferent localities where there are
strange meat markets and grocery
stores where new lines of credit may
be established.
Our garage is made of tin and can
be carried in the ordinary suitcase
when folded up. When opened UP it
keeps unfolding and unfolding until
YOU have a regular garage with two
windows, double doors and a gaso-
line can sitting out behind, 1t Is
much easier than a tent to put up
and take down and will accommodate
any sized automobile from $25 peanut
roaster variety up to the seven
passenger plutocrat.
When going on long tour the
owner can take the garage along
with him in a suitcase and pitch it
anywhere he decides to spend the
night The price of this garage is sS
cash or $117 If paid for in monthly
instalments. They will come in all
colors, pink. garages to match pink
houses, blue garages to match blue
houses, etc. We are ready to sell
territory to anybody who calls. We
have already disposed of Alaska,
