Wo hope thoy may, for thoy aro rustlers mid will bo a good pair to draw to. 0 Our good friend, Wolcott, tho Rent man is still rusticating In tho hlllr, nnd is becoming bearded llko tho Pnrd, as Wily Shakespeare wou'l say and is growing stronger every day. There Is a wonderful Improvement in his looks, and If ho keeps on Im proving long enough ho will eventually become as handsomo and healthy look lK as tho editor, and that Is going soino. A modern dudo with narrow strip- rd clothes, saddle colored shoes, a loud necktlo, hair parted ovsr his nose, and smoking n cigarotto, ad dressed his best girl thus: ''If you was mo and I was you what would you do?" Sho hesitatingly said with a siallo; "I would toAe off that hid eous tie, put that clgareto in the stove, part my hair cn one side then pray to God for brains." o The latest is on Brother Gates. It is too good to keep. Wo will proba bly bavo to bide for A day or two but wo will have to tell it. Brother Qates was talking with Captain Black yesterday and tho captain held In his hands a pair if handcuffs, Brotbei Qates picked up one of the bracelets and beforo the captain could stop him playfully snapped It upon bis own wrist to see how it felt to have on the shackles. But the Jcke was apparent to him when Captain Black explained to him that be had no key for that particular pair of ornaments and the good Domlnlo bad visions of going home to bis pretty young wife wearing Jewelry of the Kelly Butte variety, but a happy thought struck the boys and hustling over to the locksmith ut tbo corner of Ivanboe and Jersey, the decoration was re moved to the great Joy of Brother Gate. PARABLE OF THE TOBACCO SEED Then shall the kingdom if Satan be likened unto a grain of tolmtio seed being cast Into tho ground grew and becamo a crcat plant, , n,'d spread Its leaves, rank and brand, so that hugo and vile worms formed a habl tatlon thereon.

O. 3itf The difference between poor stock and first class stock on a job is a small item when you consider the value of the job. It is the Erice of a satisfied customer. It is etter to make 50 cents less on a job aud have a customer who will . . . n come uack", man 10 use uic ninisy stock, make the extra 50 cents aud ose your customer. That is the way we figure it. Bring in your printing now. We Believe in Newspaper Advertising I3ttt its value to us is not compared with the advertising that satisfied customers arc daily giv ing us. When a shoe "just like this last pair" is called for because it was "so comfortable" and had worn a "solid year," wc feel that we sell the right sort of shoes. This remark has been made by several ladies who have tried our $3.50 line of John Strootman's Welts. Then wc feel that our Grocery department is making friends because within a week three par tics have brought in new neighbors for introduc tion with the remark "I , have brought you a new customer." This all means that our prices must be , about right and that we arc making friends of our trade. If you have not , bought a pair of shoes from us wc suggest that you try us for that pair , you must have in Sep- ' tember or October.

The bright store is the "hypnotic eye" of business. People can no more resist the attraction of a brilliant, Ulectricnlly lighted store than they can resist the clarion call of a brass bnnd. Is your competitor with the Klectrically illuminated show windows, bright interior nnd sparkling Klectric Sign getting an advantage over you? The moth never flutters around thu uulighled candlel Up-to-date stores nowadays consider shop-window lighting a necessity, whether they remain ojhjh after dark or not. Competition forces modern methods. A show window brilliantly illuminated with Klectric light will make many a sale "the night before." Klectric light compels attention, makes easy the examination of your display, shows goods in detail and fabrics in their true colors. Aud don't neglect the Klectric Sign. It is soliciting "tomorrow's" business every moment it is lighted burning your name in the public mind. It is a solicitor that never becomes weary never stops work costs little.
