It is too good to keep. Wo will proba

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

tho professed stints of the Most Hlgl
defiled themselves therewith; oven
tho poor, who could not luy books

tho Lord was greatly displeased
therewith and said: 'Uoycckan that

The difference between poor

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.

Keep Bright and You
WILL KEEP BUSY
Klectric Light is the magnet that draws trade. 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.
