Copeland. COUNTY COURT. FROM "LEFT-OVERS" Jessie Hollenbeck Elsie Robertson Lixzie Williams Flora Hanes Verria Smith. Messrs Charles Hayes Clell Forinash Ansel Ross Freddy Evans Fred Cummins Robert Harmon Herbert Smith Willie Cummins Walter Tweedy. Preparation Can Be Made at Home and Easily Applied.

The following method of cleaning carpets has boon thoroughly tested and was secured from a professional source: First have the carpet cleaned In the usual way aud tacked down on the floor where it is to remain permanently and it is ready for the cleaning process. Take one and a half pounds of the best white laundry soap, one-half a pound of white-oak bark, three fourths of a pound of borax, one-fourth of a pound of fuller's earth, one-half a pint of good alcohol, one-half a pint of ammonia, one-half an ounce of chloroform and four gallons of water. Tie up the bark in a piece of thin material and boll in two gallons of water for four hours. Keep boiling water at hand to replace that lost by evaporation. Now remove the bag, add the soap, shaved fine, the borax and the fuller's earth and let simmer until all are dissolved.

Then add the other two gallons of water, which should be boiling hot, and when partly cool add the alcohol, ammonia and chloroform. Tins quantity will clean 30 yards of carpet. To clean, dip out a cupful of the preparation, put It on the carpet, spread It and scrub with an ordinary bristle scrubbing brush. The spot scrubbed will he covered with lather, but the carpet will not bo wet through. When all the dirt has been removed, scrape the lather up Into a heap and take It up with a scraper, which can be had of any house-furnishing store, or a shingle with a smooth edge will answer very well.

When the lather has been removed go over the carpet with a sponge wrung out of clean water and dry with a cloth. SCIENCE OF DOMESTIC ECONOMY. Necessary Knowledge if Home If to Be Made Happy. Did you ever ask yourself tho meaning of the term domestic economy? Most likely you never did. Notwithstanding the growing popularity of this branch ot study, there la no subject the name and nature of which is so generally misunderstood.

Some young women think it means "cookery and laundry lessons;" others thing "scraping and saving" would more fitly define it, while dim Ideas of so-called menial duties and domestic drudgery float through the brains of others. But theRe are "small nlbbllngs at the outer bark" of tho truth, which Is that domestic economy Is a saving knowledge, a knowledge which relates to tho intelligence and cultivated management of everything connected with tha home. It Is the science of tho homo, and pre-eminently a woman's science. It Is the woman's work to make the house Into a home. Kvcry woman ought to know how to do all things necessary to make a home happy, says Woman's Life.

Tho husband earns the money, but the principal part of It has to be spent by the wife. Hence It is very important that all girls should learn domestic economj'. But please remember that domestic economy Is one of those things that cannot be learned from books alone. FOLEYSHCMTIAR for cAdrm tafa, sure. No oolutt The plan of guaranteed bank deposits haa probably found favor, among all classes of people and irreppective of p.l lioal affil.

iation, more rapidly than any other publio question. The new Btate of Oklahoma has already enacted a law taxing state banks, the fund thus accumulated to be used in paying depositors of any state bank that from any cause becomes unable to meet its obligations. A special session of the Kansas legislature has been called for the purpose of enactingjegiulation similar to the Oklahoma plan. The governor of Nebraska is considering the advisability of calling a special session of the legislature on account of the growing belief among the people that protection to ban If depositors in tho form of state or federal guarantees of their deposits will stop the hoarding of money, bring into circulation sufficient currency to conduct the business of the country, and prevent a recurrence of auch disastrous panici as the one through which we are now passing. Mr.

Bryan has been an advocate of a law guaranteeing deposits in state and national banks since 1893. The legislature of Ohio has adopted a joint resolution inviting Mr. Bryan to address its members in joint session February 18, 1908, on subject of Guaranteed Bank Deposits. Mr. Bryan, in discussing the tariff question, insists that residents of United States should be permitted to buy home-made goods at home at as low a price as the foreigner can buy American-made goods abroad.

He also insists that our government should be by and for the people as a whole, rather than by and for the trusts, and administered in the interest of a few benefici aries of the trust system. He-believes that national legislation for the purpose of better regulation and control of interstate commerce and common carriers should supplement state legisla tion, and not be a substitute for state legislation. Mr. Bryan's paper, the Com moner, reflects his opinions eaoh week on questions of publio importance and in its columns may also be found his magazine articles, publio speeches, addresses and lectures, which are referred to in the daily press from day to day. If you are interested in political questions, if you desire to keep in touch with the progress of tha campaign and to read Mr.

Bryan's campaign speeches, send sixty cents to The Commoner, and the paper will be sent to you each week until the close of the next presidential campaign. Postoffice money order, currency, or stamps will be accepted. Only sixty cents. Address, TUe Commoner, Lincoln, Neb-'. 11 CITY POST.

I Notion for Motorists. I More luxury for the automoblllst, tils At his farm near Raymondville, surrounded by relatives and friends, W. G. Copeland, one of Texas couu- ty's pioneer citizens, after a brief illness, passed peacefully away last Wednesday, Feb. 5th.

Coming to Texas couuty when it was a wilderness, perhaps no man I dM more thn in miWriT thig county what it is today. Being a master mechanic, he was kept busy at his trade of carpenter, building homes for the early settlers of Houston. Three of the churctes at Houston, besides over half the entire residences, were planutd and built by him, besides many of the fine architectural structures now dotted all over the country, are products of his genius hands. Mr. Copeland was a man who did not boast, had little to say, and always attended to his own and his friends were all who knew He united with the Baptist Church 28 years ago and a short time before bis death he told his wife he was prepared to die.

He was buried iu the Allen cemetery at noon Feb. 7th, where perhaps a larger curtege bad never before assembled to pay tribute to one they loved and respected. He was a native of Georgia, coming to Missouri when 26 years of age, where he united in marriage with Alpha J. Whitsett, Feb. 18th, 1858.

Besides his widow, he leaves 5 children: Dr. Carlos Copeland, Cabool; Walter Copeland, Ravmond-ville; Mrs. F. D. Foss, Steelville; Mrs.

John B. Hardin and Mrs. Albert Mct'sbbins, Raymoodville. He was born Feb. 14th, 1831, and would have been 77 years old the 14th ot this month.

Plans bad beea made to celebrate golden wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Copeland the 18th of this month, but God in His wisdom doeth all things well. "Holy and pure are the pleasures of piety, Drawn from the fountain of mercy above, Endless, exhaustless, exempt from satiety, Rising unearthly and soaring above." Obituary. On February 5, 1908, Mr.

William Gascon Copeland died at his home, 2 miles east of Raymondville. Mr. Copeland was born in Carolina February 14, 1831. When a small boy he moved to Gilmer county, Georgia. At the age of 26 he came to Missouri, and was united in marriage with Alpha J.

Whitsett Feb. 18, 1858. To this union were born two sons and three daughters. The Lord in His wise providence saw fit to spare him to see them all united in marriage. lie was a man of mauy exemplary virtues and those who knew him will want to say that truly a good citizen, friend and ueigrhbor has fallen.

He told his companion a short time before his death that he was prepar ed to go; that all was well. On Friday. February 7th, after a beautiful service by Rev. Norton at the home, Mr. Copeland was taken to the Allen cemetery and there in the presence of a vast concourse of sorrowing friends, laid to rest forever.

Let us hope that his two sons, who are among our best citizens, and the girls, whose friends are many, will emulate the many virtues of father. The family have the sympathy of entire community their sad hour of bereavement. A Friend. WHEN FRAMING THE PICTURES. Rule by Which One Is Certain to Get Attractive Combination.

Matching the frame to the predominating shade in the picture will always result in an attractive combination, provided the color of the frame Is not too vivid, for the latter must never be more prominent than tha subject, and this mistake is frequent ly niadu wliei selecting a bright tone in oil and matching It in wood. If possible, get a contrast without bringing the framing too much in cvt-dence. In framing etchings a simple molding In oak or gilt is considered correct If the latter Is used it must bo In the antique finish so fashionable this season. For an etching the plainer the frame is tho better, and those without any carving or ornamentation except for a metal rin? that surrounds the opening and a nannvr molding at the outer edge are In grrai demand. For English and "old" prints the plain rosewood, mahogany and wain frames are best adapted.

Some if these are brightened by a simple line about one-quarter of an inch in width, placed about the opening. Caie should be taken to show the prisii.il margin on these old prints, for IV. ragged outline stamps them as geivi-Inely "antique." Portraits and photographs are tincl with or without nials, In plain wool or brass frames. Oil paintings to give brightness are nsnally framed in gold. This auti: r.i the Btyle of gold Instead of bright Is the dull antique fin; Hand-carved frames are also ni'i Used, both in the the antique gold, for oils.
