Treatment of Carpet.
Carpets that re often taken up can
be cleaned In the following way, which
raises no dust, and leaves the carpet
looking very bright and fresh:
Get a bucket of lukewarm water,
to which liquid ammonia in the pro
portion of a tabltspoonful to two
gallons has been added.
Dip a clean house flannel in this,
wring it as dry as you can, and wipe
the carpet with the grain. The dirt
and dust wit! collect in lumps before
your flannel. The cloth needs fre
quent rinsing, and the water must be
changed as soon as it gets dirty.

IV CURE
AND THE DOG CAME BACK
Pittsburg Man's Act of Duplicity "Got
Him Nothing," as the Slang
Phrase Says.
Out in the Schenley Farms district
is a large, Irate man, who is on the
lookout for a small, freckled boy with
a funny little green cap. And woe
betide that boy If he is caught, which
.he probably will not be. The man has
a dog, or what passes for one in the
eyes of his wife. It is one of those
wispy and bedraggled-looking kyoodles
with a peevish disposition and a mop
of hair hanging in its eyes. It is the
gift of his wife's mother and, to his
.wife, is all that a dog could or should
,be.
It was when the gentleman in ques
tion came one morning upon a small
freckle-faced youngster with a funny
little green cap, playing with the dog,
that an inspiration came to him.
"Say, boy," he ventured, "would you
like to own that dog?"
. "Wot. me?" replied the boy. "1
wouldn't take him for a gift."
"But," said the man, "he seems to
like you, and I'll tell you what I'll do.
I'll give you a quarter if you sneak
away with him and lose him some
where. But be careful that my wife
doesn't see you or she'll skin you
alive."
'I'm on," said the kid, and, clutch
ing the coin and the dog he darted
away, while the man proceeded to his
office with a light heart.
Evening came and the man returned
to his home. At the threshold he was
greeted by a shrill yelp, and there
stood his pet aversion with a brand
new ribbon at its throat.
'O, James," cooed his wife. "What
do you think! Poor little Fluffy was
lost all day. I was worried nearly
sick. And then a little boy brought
him back. The dearest little chap,
with a freckled face and a funny little
green cap. He found him away down
town, and I gave him a dollar for his
trouble." Pittsburg Gazette-Times.

Timely Interruption.
Mrs. Bonham had just seated hersell
to work at a bit of embroidery that
required particular care and attention,
when there came a ring at the tele
phone. "I just know that's Mrs. Gum
my," she said, as she laid down her
work and went to answer the call.
Whenever I am unusually busy and
haven't any time to spare she rings
itie up and talks to me by the hour."
She was right. It was Mrs. Gummy,
who was fully as talkative as ever.
She began with a long story and when
fairly in the middle of it the clock on
the wall of the room began to strike.
' "Wait a moment," interposed Mrs.
Bonham. "I can't hear you until this
noise stops."
"What made that noise?" asked Mrs.
Gummy, after it had ceased.
"It was only the clock," answered
Jhe patient Mrs. Benham. "You know
it always strikes once or twice when
we get to talking."
The conversation did not last long
after that. Youth's Companion.

COOPER'S SALES
ARE ENORMOUS
HIS PREPARATIONS LEADING
TOPIC IN OMAHA CALLERS AT
YOUNG MAN'S HEADQUAR
TERS INTERVIEWED.
x Omaha, Nek, Feb. 9. The mot
Interesting feature of the enormous '
sale of the Cooper preparations, now
going on in this city, Is what the med
icines are actually accomplishing
among the people of Omaha.
At the commencement of his visit
here Mr. Cooper prophesied that dur
ing the later part of his stay he would
receive hundreds of callers daily who
came simply to thank him for what
the preparations had done. He also
stated that stomach trouble is the
foundation for a great many diseases
and that his New Discovery, as it is
called, would prove very effective in
all cases of rheumatism simply by
getting the stomach in working order.
That this prophecy has been fulfilled
cannot be doubted after a half-hour
spent at the young man's headquar
ters listening to what his callers have
to say.
A reporter, who watched to ascer
tain, if possible, some light on the
reasons for the immensity of Coop
er's success, interviewed about twenty
of his callers yesterday afternoon. The
statements made by those seen indi
cate that physicians who claim that
Cooper is merely a passing fad, have
not looked into the facts.
Some of these statements were as
follows:
W. J. Grant, a popular cigar dealer
at 508 South Sixteenth street, upon
being questioned, said: "After a most
remarkable experience with the Cooper
remedies, I cannot refrain from saying
that anyone who is suffering in any
way from stomach trouble, and who
does not give this Cooper medicine a
trial, is passing up a golden opportu
nity for restoration to good health.
"For three' years I was troubled
with my stomach, and what little I
did eat gave me distress. Nothing
tasted right. I felt weak and bad near
ly all the time. I was nervous and
allowed matters of small importance
to worry me. I treated with two differ
ent physicians, but received no benefit.
I had about reached the conclusion
that medical science had not yet pro
duced anything that would help me.
"However, a number of friends
urged me to try Cooper's New Dis
covery, and they were so persistent
that I finally took new hope and got a
bottle of the Cooper medicine. After I
had begun to take it I wondered why I
had not taken it long ago. Its effect
was marvelous brought me right
out. I regained my appetite, took on
new strength in fact, began to feel
like a different man altogether. 1
would not have believed there wits a
medicine on earth that could do so
much in so short a time. I have good
reason to be grateful for what Coop
er's New Discovery has done for mo,
and cannot praise 1 too highly."
The statement of Mr. William Ken
nedy, advertising manager of the Ben
nett Company, at Sixteenth and
Harney streets, was as follows:
"Long and tedious hours of hard
work, and continuous confinement in
a stuffy office tended to put my stom
ach in a condition that has for many
months made my life miserable. There
is no need of my going into detail, for
anyone who has ever had stomach
trouble knows the suffering to be en
dured. I became weakened and run
down, and life began to be a drag.
"A personal friend persuaded me to
give the Cooper medicine a trial. I
procured a bottle of the New Discovery
preparation and began taking it. Re
lief came quickly, and in a short time
I was feeling like a new man. I de
veloped a splendid appetite, could eat
anything I wanted with no ill effects,
and it all tasted good. My strength
returned and once more work became
a pleasure.
"I have taken four bottles, and
shall continue its use until I am fully
recovered, which I am confident will
not take long. This is a remarkable
preparation for any one who is 'all
in' as a result of close confinement
and overwork. I earnestly 1 recom
mend it to anyone in this condition."
Other statements taken from those
who had previously used the medi
cines seem to prove that Cooper's
success throughout the country is gen
uine.

In the Baltic provinces and through

says a correspondent. While travel
ing the other day from Danzig to
Marienberg I saw several in the fields
and on neBts upon buildings quite
close to the railway. In Denmark,
however, it is less numerous, since
the draining of the morasses was be
gun. It is still fairly common in Hol
land and Belgium, but in France,
owing to its being persecuted and the
fact of none of the original race sur
viving. It Is seen only as a bird of
passage. In Alsace and Lorraine its
better treatment is rewarded by a
certain number remaining during the
summer to breed.
In passing through Savoy in April
and in the early autumn it meets with
heartless persecution, especially on
its return toward the. south, when the
young birds are often much fatigued.
It occurs generally throughout Turkey
and is fairly common in Greece. It is
met with occasionally in central Italy
and Sicily, and is plentiful in some
parts of Andalusia.
It is believed that on one of their
migrations which took place a little
after the middle of last century the
white storks experienced some sort of
catastrophe, as they returned in great
ly reduced numbers, and ever since
then they have been considerably less
numerous than before. The periods
of migration with the storks are very
regular. They arrive in central Eu
rope generally between March 19 and
25 and prepare to depart a about the
end of August, first congregating in
large bands, which break up as the
adult individuals come and collect the
young together to conduct them south
ward. It appears that they migrate in
large flocks, flying mostly by night.
The males and females, it is sup
posed, migrate separately, the former
undoubtedly arriving about a week
before the latter to take charge of
the old nest or to settle on a favorable
spot for nidification.
Wherever the stork is met with in
Europe, excepting in parts where its
occurrence is rare, where it meets
with the common fate of rarity, it is
protected. The peasants mostly hold
it as sacred and consider is as a sort
of protector or house god to the house
on which it nests, and one will some
times sell a nest to a neighbor to
bring him luck, in which case the bird
will discover the new situation of its
nest and continue to occupy it.
Kindly Folk. .
Billingsgate is one qf the most po
lite . and gentle mannered places in
London, however strange its Cockney
talk may be. Here's how kind the fish
porters are: A big porter who strolled
through the market, whistling under
his burden of fish, overtook a woman
struggling with a heavy package.
" 'Ere you hare, hold dear," said he.
"Hi'll give you hay 'and,' and still
balancing his fish box he caught up
the woman's parcel as well. When
the porter found his way barred it was
not "Do you want all the road?" that
he. shouted out, but, "Do you mind
making room for han horphan?" or.
"By your leave, sir. Thank you kind
ly.'' "Do you think you can manage
it, chummy?" said one. porter," or shall
I take the big 'un?" "His there hany
chap 'ere 'o knows where Jim's cart
his? 'E wants these quickly." And
three porters, idle for the moment,
sprang forward to show the speaker
where to set down his load. "I like
the big, strong Billingsgate porters,"
said a young Scots woman, a relative,
of a high official of the markets "I
like their gentle voices and ways."
Wins Clemency.
The- blandishments of a "drunk and
disorderly" man won clemency from
Magistrate Carey in the Eleventh
and Winter Streets Police station the
other morning. The "Judge" never
fines a man who is "down and out"
if he can avoid doing so. This pris
oner, however, had tried to use a
pouple of stalwart patrolmen to mop
up Vine street and was due to pay a
fine or take the usual ten days.
He interlarded his defense with
terms like "your worship," "your
grace," "your excellency," and other
high sounding titles. n?
"Who do you think I am?'V asked
Magistrate Carey.
"Nothing short of a bishop. Judging
from your kind heart and fine face,
was the retort.
"Get out and don't come back," was
the verdict. Philadelphia Times.

"Peruna has also cured my
wife of catarrh. She always keeps '
it in the house for an attack of
Cold, which it invariably cures in
very short time."
Paradoxical.
"It is a wonder that a hot-headed
man is generally thought to be one of
mettle.
"Why a wonder?"
"Because metal is usually well tem
