What They Say
About Us
Red Wall Paper Scarce.

This Is a time Of troubles; indeed.
troubles will never cease from trou-
bling, and each day brings Its new
load of worry. Let everybody think
of all the public troubles which now
oppress next add the list OF his own
private woes and then consider this
latest threat of fate. to wit: Red
wall paper Is scarce.
The wall paper manufacturers have
lust opened their fall Styles" this
trade opening is recognized as one OF
the most notable functions OF the
commercial year, for to use last
years wall paper Is a lapse from de-
cency of which few New York house,
holders are guilty, since they have
been trained SC diligently by the
dealers: indeed II Is seldom in recent
years that any dealer Is affronted by
a request for few rolls of last
years paper to make repairs with.
But the real trouble this year Is
about red wall paper. Owing to the
rise in price of most dyestuffs and
other materials the manufacturers
are confronted with the hideous fact
of higher cost for their product and
no certainty of being able to raise
the price of all wall paper. So they
have been driven to the bitter expedi-
ent of not showing any samples of
red or other dark colored papers. All
persons requiring red wall papers for
Suicide rooms" (such as Il New York
hotel once proposed) or for other
apartments where light is to be swal-
lowed up In an Internal crepuscule,
will kindly wait a year.
Perhaps the loss OF red wall papers
from the sample cards will not be
calamitous, except as creating flaws
in an otherwise complete line" Any
how, there are no red papers. II this
be trouble make the most of it.-New
York Evening Sun.

Oh he was engaged to a maiden named Rose
And avowed that his JOY immense,
But he left her so quickly he rod on her toes
To run off and make love to Horense.
Now she was girl who was winsome and gay
And he thought he was telling the truth
When he swore he would love her until he was gray
Then he happened to see little Ruth.
To Ruth he proposed when the moon shone above
And for flirting professed great abhorrence;
He declared that no other he could love
Then he happened to spy pretty Florence.
But he found his maneuvering had to be stopped,
For the girl was much wiser than he,
And his hopes and his plans quite suddenly cropped
After Florence had Ruhie to tea.
And Rose and Hortense were invited to come,
Oh they came, and they talked you can bet,
When he heard it, the lover stricken quite dumb
And that speechlessness, ,clings to him yet.

Some housewives go SO far as to sub

pretty designs and are so inexpensive
that this form Of table adornment is
both pretty and economical.

The geologic events thus outlined
long preceded the period OF huhlah
history in which these metal deposits
were mined. In 1S49 an army OF sou

but gradually the metal was traced
to the old Tertiary river beds on the

the gold in the Sierra Nevada. Mil
lions of dollars in gold were produced
annually up to the seventies of the
last century, but the gold-minine in
dustry has slowly diminished, until
now less than 100000 is produced
annually, the decline being due to the
prohibition of hydraulic mining and
the exhaustion Of the richer channels
suitable for drift mining.
