Mr. K. proceeded to a position from which he couldn as he supposeu, safely shovel off the snow, but In doing so he made a false step and got on the sUy- light.

Iu his fits of anger Morris 'would drive his head against a wall or bite deep Into the-window frame. , ' Morris was honestly a socialist. When his workshops and their contents, were worth $73,000, he surrendered nil prof its and took foreman's wages, thus en abling the business to pay $1.50. per week better wages to each man. ' Morris began designing' wall papers and decorations by accident, because be couldn't "find any fit to buy. Nor did he use In designing, except at first, sad , colors. r Once he showed a rich customer some bright Hammersmith carpets. ' ' "Are these all?" asked the buyer. 'But I thought your, colors were sub dued?" .. . "If you want dirt," said Morris, "you can find that in the street." And to the street the customer went. He Made a Sale. .
