Whether the present-day recruit

The high percentage OF strong men
in 1876 to 1879 may be due to the
fact that the recruiting. &C least in

IDEA WELL WORTH COPYING
RUGS of CoIored Rope, Popular In

Peculiarly Pretty.

In Paris one lives out Of doors so
much that there are always new crea-
tons FOR the gardens and porches ana
the many terraces in the country
where one finds the table get for a
meal.
Among these new things Is a large
circular rug made in a simple design
OF colored rope.
The natural hempen color is useo
for the border and the circular cen
ter. and between are huge sailor knots
of red or purple or blue rope. The ell
feet is most attractive.
There is no reason WHY these rugs
cannot be copied by women who Tx
such things and know where TO &c
them done. Rope is easily bought an'
easily dyed in the preferred colors
and there are places in most TOWN.
where sailorlike work is done.
Remember, the rug is open in It's dc

ADDITION To PLANT
ABOUT COMPLETED
Reduction in City Light Rate
to Take Effect on
January |.

Although established under an al
most Overwhelming opposition, the
city light plant is the only paying pos
session the city has which is the real
property of the corporation. This
plant, which earns above operating ex-
penses, more than $4,000 a month, is
said to be model one and bears the
distinction of being one of the few
municipal business ventures in the
world which has stood competition
and come out ahead.
Plans for the light plant were made
as early as 1898. Although it was
considered a wild dream in 1895, the
idea was fostered and as city officials
dropped out of the legislative body,
the new executives were ready to take
up the plan.
When the matter finally came be-
fore council for a decision there was
a deadlock, giving the mayor the right
to vote. The resulting vote resulted
in seven for and six against the con-
struction of the plant.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1913-09-27

It was commenced in 1900 and be-
fore the plant had been completed
$144, 900 had been borrowed for it's
construction. The bonds are due in
1927 and are being taken up by the
light plant sinking fund, into which
is placed $3.50 monthly.
In 1901 the operations were started
and although there was some trouble
with machinery at first, the plant has
been running every day since that
time. A $4,000 addition to the plant
is now almost completed and with
this the city expects to serve most of
the business Of the city The result
of the plant has been several reduc-
lions in the price of electricity, the
latest one taking effect the frst of
next year, when patrons will be fur
nished with electricity for 5A cents
kilowat.
Nimrod Johnson, former city treas
urer. has been superintendent of the
plant for several years. In charge of
the work at the plant is one of the
most efficient engineers in the city,
Howard Gluys. The plant employs
about twenty persons.

HIS RETURN BANQUET.
1t Was Grand Social Success and
Cost the Majo Nothing.

4 A veteran officer in the United States
displayed by a major in the old days
He had been appointed to the COM
Innnd of an army post on an island not
great way from San Francisco.
Soon after his arrival there a French
feet dropped anchor in the harbor.
The commander invited the major
aboard the flagship and entertained
him royalty.
The idea struck the worthy major the
next day that he was in honor bound
to return the compliment, but he was
staggered by the expense involved.
To give a banquet betting his dig
nifty as a United States officer enter
tanning a distinguished representative
OF foreign nation would mean bank
rnntcy. as the government had not au-
thorized him to draw on it's treasury
for such purpose, and the cost Of the
affair would have to come out Of his
own pocket. A bright idea struck him.
He invited the naval visitors to be
his guests the third day thereafter at
an american picnic" Then he sent
Invitations to the best people of the
neighborhood to join him in a basket
picnic at a grove near at hand on the
same day, "to meet our French naval
friends now on our shores"
The people came with great baskets
and hampers of provisions. royal
feast was spread in the grove. and the
picnic was long remembered as one of
the most notable social successes of
Its time.-Chicago Record Herald.
