When th Bishop W Stumped.
Bishop Goodman was one day ad
dressing a Sunday school when he
said in a most expressive way:
"And now, children, let me toll you
6 very sad fact. In Africa there are
10,000,000 sqxiare miloB of territory
without a single Sunday school
where little boys and girls can
spend their Sundays. Now, what
should we all try to save up our
money and do?"
And the class, as one voice, re
plied in ecstatic union, "Go to Af
rica!" Watchword.
Mannish.
-''Sho'is such a mannish sort of
woman." -
; "Mannish? Why, I have never
noticed anything mannish about
her. She dresses in a most becom
ing manner, she has a dainty per
sonality and she doesn't seem to be
at all inclined to engage in athlet
ics.".: -.
"Oh, I know. But she can open
a telegram without being agitated

The Sign of Merit
None of us can get very far without a fair
proportion of merit in our goods.
Yet, many a bale of merit still lays bidden on
the shelves.
Modern, advertising consists of convincing
that you have the goods.
The Electric Sign denotes the confidence a
' merchant has in his own store and the stock
he has for sale.
Merit and the Electric Sign are fast friends.
Insist that our sign experts prepare
special, snappy, 1912 designs for you.
