"A Curious incident.

AS the cars from one of our branch
depots were about to leave for the city
the other day the signal was given to
start and the steam turned on with
full force, butthe train refased to move
and curiosity was great for q time to
find the cause. At last it was ascer-
tanned that bottle of the famous
housekeeper's cement had been broken
Oh the track and stuck the wheels fast
to the rails. They were at last sep
arated and the train departed, and on
its arrival in town the rush to the
Dollar Store for q bottle of that cement
was tremendous. There are few bot
ties left. de2O 3t"
How is it that the Peoples Palace is
so popular with the public p Echo an
swers: Not alone do they charge very
low for goods at the Palace, bat they
also offer an tiOnalinducement by
presenting each customer buying $5
worth of goods with q Christmas
present. In agreat many instances
the presents are more valuable than
$5, some ranging in value as high as
$50. dll:2w
