ANCIENT RUE
ON EXHIBITION

| A Bergama rug, that was made at
the seat of the early Christian ch9Mrcl
in Asia Minor, is being exhibited at
the Johnson & Hill store The rug
represents a pictured story of
events in the rehg Gus world at that
time 1t Us said that it took three gen
erahons to finish a rug of this char
acter. The rug is feet s inches
long by 3 feet inches wide. The
prevailing color is old rose, the dye
| for this color is secured from the leaf
of the rose, not far from Mount A
rarat. The rug is two centuries old.
At the top of the rug is the temple
| Mosque. The birth of the prophet
| Mohammed lis revealed in it by the
| the Cypress tree The idea being
| that as it lis an evergreen, it typi-
| fies the continuation of life, hence
the cypress tree lis planted in the
| turkish cemetery as soon as a male
child is born amongst the Turks. The
tree of Justification is revealed in
the ground of the rug. This form of
tree was used by the ancients of
Arabia on their pilgrimage to Mecca
after Mohammedans conquest in A
sia. The tile work of the palace is
revealed in the lower edge of the rug
With the tree of life over it mean
ing a continuation of all races The
guard house of the prophet is re.
vealed at either end of the trees of
Justification and was used after Mo
hammed's s. conquest, by the officers
to salute their prophet. Green is
predomimating because it is a sa-
cred rug, and has been in use on
medan or Christian, would dare walk
ON this rug before "a Mohammedan of
the temple. Such rug was owned
by the high priest and hung ON his
walls in order to remind the Worship
er of the religious beliefs of his anr
cestors The amount of old rose
vegetable dyes used in this rug would
bring today not less than $4,000 worth
of Altar of Rose oil, which is sold
at SIC to 25c a drop and is used for
medicinal purposes. The people of
old had a vision that the Altar oil
o0uLd Ia aytraoted from roc.ac i'm Ar
menia, hence they made the dyes us
ed in these rugs and realized no
thing from it. Now the Bulgarian a.
gency imports roses from Armenia
and manufactures Altar of Rose Oil.
MIR. Alexanian has several of these
ancient rugs i'm his selection and is
ezli biting them at Johnson &. Hill
Co. IS store.

Southern Wisconsin, leaving Chicago
Thursday morning with the auto, call

Tuesday morning. At $50 Tuesday
morning Donald started towards home
with the car. l had some business
matters in Milwaukee and took the
train to Mi ilwauhee from Fond du Lac
The accident occurred just west OF
the village of Fremont. AS soon as
we heard of the accident I hurried on
there and reached Fremont about mid
might. The accident occurred at
very dangerous turn in the road, me
turn us obscured by trees until you
come very close to it, There 81 a ROAD
going straight ahead and undoubtedly
Donald thought the straigh road was
the way until he got past the trees
and saw a more beaten track and thel
it is evident that when he saw the
turn that he applied the brakes 10
the ear. trying to slow down for
the turn and applying the brakes
caused the car to skid over the top
of a high place in the road. The car
turned over once and in that tuIh-
ing Donald was crowded against the
steering gear receiving internal III
jarries that caused his death ABOUT
forty minutes later.
On his way up he stopped in Osh-
kosh for lunch at noon at the home o.
friends. The young lady who was IN
the car was a school friend at Rapon
College and she had accepted his IN
yitation to ride as far as Waupaca-

his family. Frank sold to him and
went to Chicago, went into business
but met the same fate Went to
California, met the same fate there,
returned to Grand Rapids, begged Ma
Mosher to take him in as clerk,
promising earnestly never TO gamble
again. Believing him and wishing to
help him reform, took him back al
$50. 90 per month. All went well for
a while, one day as he started to
the store, he picked UP one Of the
children where he boarded and set
it on his shoulder, which he often
did; the landlady said, Mr.. Foster,
how happens it that you, who seem
to love home and children SO well
have sometimes thonght that some
time I would end my own life, do no
for me. Three weeks later he was
a suicide. One morning about half
past 8, he came into the store dress
ed in his best suit, walked up to the
desk, wrote a few words, went out
without speaking to anyone, and new
er was seen alive again by any of
the force. After dinner as Mr.. Mosh.
er came past the store room at the
rear of the store he noticed the door
slightly opened, pushed it wider,
and there hung poor Frank, his toes
just touching the floor, his hat in a
half bushel measure, but he cold in
death The night before he lost
quite a sum of money in one of the
nine saloons there, and it was gener-
ally believed he became discourag-
ed by the failure of his many efforts
to reform and concluded to end his
wasted life. The saloon keeper testi-
fled, that several years before, he
went out to the barn one morning to
feed his team and found Frank hang
ing from a beam; the body being warn
he cut the rope and soon brot him
to life, and promised never to tell
anyone if he would never make such
an attempt again and he promised
faithfully he never would, but the
man was free now to tell it. Frank
seemed to have inherited the mania.
His mother hung herself, and her mo
ther before her, and as far as known
hadn't one living relative in the
world. How sad it was that a young
man, born and raised in New York,
having a fine education, and so well
fitted for usefulness in this life shoult
meet such a tragic fate. Poor Mr..
Mosher, as soon as the legal pro-
ceedingS were through had the body
taken to his house, was dressed in
