reading out Instructions. It was some
thing like this:
" To No. 1, three blue threads, one
white, two green; No. 2, four yellow,
one white and so on, each child re
peating after the 'master' the Instruc
tions given. As It was all said In a

confusing and deafening. But there

The Way the Carpets Are Mad by the
Hand Worker.
In deaciibin-' rTM,m Industries Mrs.
Hume OrUL. Li the Veil In
Persia and Turkish Arabia,1 tells how
the beautiful carpets of that country
are made, of course without ma
chinery of any kind. The warp is
stretched on a loom, which is. merely
a frame. The woof consists of short
threads woven nnd knotted by hand
without the aid of a shuttle. When a
row Is finished It is pressed tightly to
the rest of the web by means of a
comb inserted Into the warp.
"The weaver does not see the oat-
tern as he works, for he sits with the
reverse side of the web toward him.
The looms are generally kept in an
underground vaulted room, often with
water running through the center. At
eacn loom three or four workers sit,
according to the size of the carpet.
Sometimes the workers consist of one
man and two children, and occasional
ly the owner UBes boys and girls only
lor the weaving.
"I sat on the high stool by the side
of a tiny girl, whose fingers were
working away so fast I could hardly
follow her movements. The overseer
was walking up and down the room
calling out Instructions to the work
ers. To me it sounded a horrible', In
coherent Jumble, but the children
seemed to understand. 11 perfectly.

There are two sure roads to wealth.
One is by inheritance and the other by investment
The man who INHERITS a large sum of money or property which yields hini a goodly re
turn is to be congratulated. , . ; .
BUT, "; '. ' -VV"
The man to be doubly congratulated is the INVESTOR the WISE INVESTOR who rec
ognizes the opportunity to place his cash, wh atever the sum may be, where it will bring him
safe, sure and good returns. . . k
The history of America in fact of the world shows that the greatest fortunes have been
made in oil. California, prodigally rich in th is mineral, has made within the past three
years fortunes for those shrewd enough to invest in oil lands and stocks. The producing
of this product has been in the past, is now, and will continue to be a still greater factor as
an investment than anything known at pres ent in the country. ' "
' You are afforded an opportunity to invest your savings or surplus funds in an oil company
that promises to reap large returns. Never b ef ore, and probably never again, will you have ' '
. the same ehance. Stock is now selling at 40 cents per share, and in order to secure it at t '
this price we urge haste on your part. Fillout the;attached blank and mail at once.: - s ,
