Rugs

Contentment means
economy, in that it rep
reSents an absence of

An Oriental rug, de-
liberately selected and
merged into the peace

brings a quality of con-
tentment that one enjoys
for years.
1t is true mental econ

economy of ALTO live
your home life on rugs
which furnish congenial
companionship.
They speak to you
when you enter. They
soothe your thoughts.
They are individuals and
occupy individual inches
in your gallery of friend
ships.
And they are friend
ships that wear well.
These rugs wear longer
than anything else in
the house. Their lives
are longer than human
lives.
They outwear the old
est of old mahogany fur
niture some of them
have even outworn the
history of their makers.
This is the kind of
TRUE ECONOMY you
practice when you select
rugs from the Wild COL
lection.
But there is another
kind of economy that is
also present in every
antique Wild's Oriental.
They are like books
that are "out of print"

had been heard Warren was repre-
sented by Howell s. England. Nieder-

him in his dining room and caused his
arrest
In answer to a question by Mr.. Eng
land, heidenied striking the defendant
nor did he drag him along the streets.
He said nothing had been taken by
Warren which caused Judge Cochran
to exclaim that it was pretty small"
TO have Warren arrested if he took
nothing.
Warren in his own behalf said that
after he left the saloon he walked TO
the Pennsylvania railroad station to
pass the time as he was to meet a man
at the saloon at s o'clock When he re-
turned he saw a side door open and
went into the diningroom where a
young woman was lying down. He

been there for him and she replied
no. and asked him to sit down. Later
aother man came in and a conversa-
ton was started and Warren said
when he started to go into the bar
room, he met Nielermaier who ac-
cused him Of having a key. This he
denied, but he was taken by the sa-
loon keeper into the house while a
search was made to see if anything
was missing. After leaving the saloon
Warren said he was showed down and
his trousers cut and Niedermaier tried
to choke him. Judge Cochran told Me
dermaier he had no right TO attack a
/ reputable man like that.
Warren then had Howard Jordan
Of Christiana hundred, one of foul
witnesses to testify as to his good rep-
utation Judge Cochran said that .Jor.
dan would be sufficient as his word
would so as far with the judge as any
