THE HUSTLE? OF ROME, SUNDAY OCTOBER 7 1894
MRS. LARK-
SPURS RUG.
Hhe was ill m bed but nhe wax
better now, and casting eyes
around thermal, sin said “Ah me
every thing is getting shabby m
h re. As soon us 1 am »ble I shall
tiesbou things up tor the winter.
I H be sure to be havi-'g tbes
head aches again and c .mpany
will be coming in ami then I’ll he
moi tiffed to d- ath.”
I hen contarnplatievly she add
ed “L)< me see I can’t affo'd a
carpet so IT get some new window
shales sash curtains, a nrw rug
and to my self a pretty dressing
S'equp an | then I bha'.l feel mor c
like the lady that I really am,” 9
With these charm mg reflections
Mrs, Larkspur fell esleepj and
when she awoke she w«s well. '1 he
next day putting on her black jet
ted cape -nd her half soiled kid
gloves, ijßhe took her little long
black silk bag, and went shopping.
She had no difficulty in finding
some nice poles aud shades of a
■‘soft indifferent tint” she said
then she wanted a rug. The first
store she entered had juatgotten
in new carpets and the clerks was
very attentive even after he found
out that was only a rug she wish
ed. He threw down a big pile of
different “thipes and colors some
she said were too large others were
too stnal’’ifinally he found me of
middling size like the bear in Lit
tle Silver Hair. and this one she
said would dot. ’was lovely aud
w mid match the shades.
The clerk sent it up to her home.
She hastened to try the effect on
the floor of her bed chamber. It
was of a Japanese design and had
duh reds and greens in it and the
figure on it was something like a
section cf an Eastern temple. Mrs.
Larkspur said “it was like the Ori
ent and when her head ached she
would look at it and imagine that
she was in a foreign clime and that
the very idea of the tup and change
of air would help to soothe her
head.” So that night she went to
bed content with her days shop
ping. The next morning she awoke
and the sun was streaming across
the rug in mottled patches. Her
first thought was of a big red cow
“Oh 1 me,” she exclaimed, “there
is nothing absolutely nothing har
monious in that coloring. It is sick
ening, it makes the carpet look
five years older than it is. The
walls even become dingy, all the
pictures are cheap looking and
gaudy. Who would have thought
that I could have selected such a
fantastic thing. My sakes it is
equal to a circus.” So she hastily
arose, dressed, ate breakfast. There
was a firm resolve in her bosom.
She was going directly up town,
that rug must be changed.
She secretly hoped however that
another clerk would appear so that
the frailty of the female sex might
not be unduly commented upon .
However assuming a bold front and
putting on her new bonnet bill
summer front smile which was
generally reserved for Mr. Lark
spur she sailed into the store and
the same affable young man met
her. In dulcet tones she exclaim
ed “Oh ! I —that is—l—in fact the
rug I bought from you does not
match, —you know my room,”
then with great bravery “would
you mind exchanging it?”
Perfectly calm the clerk replied
“Certainly not madam just step
this way. ” Then he pulled down
roll upon roll of goods in that line.
Finally Mrs. Larkspur said,“really
they are all just lovely but these
four” pointing to the floor “are
perfect. Really I can't decide.”
Thenwith great generosity the clerk
said take four of them home and
m ike your own selection.
Mrs Larkspur said ’‘really that
is very kind.” So four were put in
her carriage and she drove home
in a pleasant frame ufmiud.
When she reached home she was
met at the door by her 1 ittle son
Jimmie, and as the rugs were
thrown upon the hall floor she
exclaimed with motherly fond
ness “Come dear see which is the
prettiest and the one you like
best shall go in mothers room”
The child carefully surveyed the
four and then he said, “ fake this
one.” It was dark blue with rep
spots and dim brown rings on it
She embraced Jimmie and mid kis
-s gurgled’ you are mama’ sown lit
rle comfort That was the very one
she liked the blue in it will go
with the blue of the carpet and
the blue roses on the mmlle,"
So rug no 2 was duly placed be
fore the fire place. Mrs Larkspur
had a sister, who when she saw
the rug exclaimed “ My my what
an ugly rug why didn’t yougH
something stylish"
Mr» Larkspur did not answer
at al. but wiiuu she was butlcniug
Jimmie's night gown she said ‘son
mama is not c-rtain that the rug
is pretty after all What do you
think?"
Jimmi° answered ‘‘Now m ima
you said I could p.ok it out and
I'm the one that has to look at it
and 1 like it."
“Wrll well" she replied let it go
and th- n she said to 11 <r self “it
is much worse than the ol.r-r one
execrable, but I will be unselfish
it makes my I'ttle boy happy I'll
just endure it for Jimmies sake.*'
With this pious reflection she re
tited.
Next morning when she awoke
Mr. Larkspur was standing in front
of the fire with the hair-brush in
his hand, looking intently down
to the floor and he was saying to
himself “By jingo, it is exactly
like it.” “Like what? What is?’
incoherently and drowsily queried
the lady. “Why Lucy Larkspur!
this new rug of yours is just like
the old red and blue dressing I
wore all that winter when I was
so ilitewith the hip joint disease.”
She aarted at him in dismay
and almost screamed “Oh? jdon’t
say that, it’s horrible. Now every
time that I look at it, I’ll
think of the time when we all
thougut you were going to die—
John don’t say that,” there was a
suspicion of tears in her eyes and
she added : “You were so cross
when you wore that dressing gown.
Everytime I have the headache
now, I’ll remember what a bear
you was.”
The beaded cape, the half worn
kids and the shopping bag were
again brought into requisition, for
Mrs. Larkspur said it would kill
her if she had to look at that rug
all the winter.
She came into the store this
time softly, humbly. A large stout
man, a new one approached and
she said timidly, “Can I see the
proprietor of the store? Is he busy?
I want him junta moment,” and
she nervously fumbled her silk
handbag.
“Yes madam he is engaged with
some ladies just now can I see
you ”
“I—l—wanted him,” she mur
mered, ‘ ‘but have you time are you
sure you are quite at leisure?”
“I am perfectly at leisure what
can I show you?”
Mrs. Larkspur feared that clerk
No. 1. might overhear her conver
sation, and tell his wife of her
changeable disposition, so in a low
voice moving behind some large
packing boxes she whispered “just
step here.”
The large man obeyed and his
face wore a wondering amused ex
pression.
She looked down, swallowed,
cleared her throat and said it is
about a rug. I want to exchange
it.
Clerk No. 2. smiled kindly per
haps he felt relieved and said. “Cer
tainly Madam. ” But, she inter
posed, “If you arebusy just let it
go. I went insist uponyour show
ing me any more. ”
“Busy, Madam what am I for but
to wait upon the ladies.”
Then she explained in order
that she might bdperfectly honest.
“You do not know, perhaps that I
have already exchanged it and am
still dissatisfied. It was out of har
mony with my surroundings and
feelings.” she helplessly admitted.
With a kind smile he answered.
You were perfectly right to come
again our stock is large, and I know
how ladies are. Things must match.
With that he led the way to the
back of the store he pulled down
about forty rugs and she really did
find one that suited.
It was a soft cream with brown
leaves scattered over it. ’Twas
like n spring in the Autumn with
dead oak leaves floating and shim
mering on it’s top in the sunshine.
Mrs. Larkspur knew when she
liked a thing so she took it home
and it did not make the carpet
look a bit older. She said “it
quited her nerves just to look at
it, and she did not care how soon
Nothing in This World
Is so cheap as a newspaper, whether it be
measured by the cost of its production or by its
value to the consumer. We are talking about
an American, metropolitan, daily paper of the
. first class like THE CHICAGO RECORD. It's so
cheap and so good you can’t afford in this day
of progress to be without it. There are other
papers possibly as good, but none better, and
none just like it. It prints all the real news of
the world—the news you care sor —every day,
and prints it in the shortest possible space. You
can read THE CHICAGO RECORD and do a day's
work too. It is an independent paper and gives
all political news free from the taint of party
bias. In a word—it’s a complete, condensed,
clean, honest family newspaper, and it has the
largest morning circulation in Chicago or the
west —125,000 to 140,000 a day.
Prof. J. T. Hatfield of the Northwestern
University says: “THE CHICAGO RECORD
comes as near being the ideal daily jour
nal as we are for some time likely to find
\ on these mortal shores. ”
Sold by newsdealers everywhere, and sub
scriptions received by all postmasters. Address

leaves and the thought of a wood

That night, while darning Jim

ed to Mr. Larkspur, “John there
are some very kind men in this
world after all.” He smiled softly
contentedly until she added pul

darning gourd.—“and they stay

iTT'S HIGH TIME
something was done, if your blood
is impure. You can’t mistake the
symptoms. Blotches and pimples,
or a feeling of languor ana depres
sion, are some of them. If you “ let
it go,” you're an easy prey to all
sorts of serious ailments.
Now, the best blood-purifier in
the world is Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery. Take that, and
it will certainly rid you of every
blood-taint and disorder. It starts
every organ into healthful action,
assists all the bodily functions, and
cleanses, builds up, and invigorates
the whole system. G. M. D. far
surpasses nasty Cod Liver Oil and
all its filthy compounds as a flesh
builder and strength-restorer.
For every disease caused by a
torpid liver or impure blood, Dyspepsia,
