They would together only furnish additional proof of the additional shortness of the public memory.

Because, be it known, the inventor of these supports Just recently died In this city at the age of seventy-three years, says Cincinnati Enquirer. It was only about forty years ago that he designed the bed that rendered useless the old cords and permitted the use of the now almost universal pad or box mattress.

Couches of this variety, venerable with years, still exist as show pieces, but their owners have surreptitiously substituted slats and supports for the ropes and pegs. In short, they are shams.
