Booted,

Not less than twenty-five or thirty years has
Daniel Leahys "big boot" invited people to his
store on Madison street Indeed, 1t had been up
so long that it had become rusty and worn, and
a short time ago it was taken down. Yesterday,
however, it again greeted the public vision with
new coat of paint, looking fresh and nobby.
MoRAL.-Mr. Leahy has been in business in
Ottawa many years. He knows what the people
want Like his "big boot" sign, his inside stock
of boots and shoes is now beautiful and substan-
tial, and he sells as cheap as the cheapest. He
can "boot or "shoe" a person to his entire sat
isfaction, and, what is more singular, having
tried him once, all will 90 there again.

present stand is some three weeks later than in
ordinary years. The fact Of bis having an ex

Every year increases the popu-
larity of this valuable Hair Prep
aration, which is due to merit
alone. We can assure our old
patrons that it is kept fully up to
its high standard; and it is the on
reliable and perfected prepara-
ton for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to it's youthful color, making
it soft, lustrous, and silken. The
scalp, by its use, becomes white and
clean. It removes all eruptions and
dandruf,, and, by its tonic proper
ties, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the
hair grows thicker and stronger.
In badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical HAIR-DREssING ever
used, as it requires fewer applica-
tons, and gives the hair a splendid,
glossy appearance. A. A. Hayes,
Md, State Assayer Of Massachu-
sets, says, "The constituents are
pure, and carefully selected for ex-
cellent quality; and [ consider it
the BEST PREPARATION for its
intended purposes"

Hon. Sidney Perham's candidacy for
Secretary OF State is at the request OF many
republican friends, who, when he accept
ed the Office at the invitation OF Governor
Dingley, were pleased to see it pass into
such worthy hands. No gentleman is bet
ter known to the people of the State than
Mr.. Perham. and probably no one has
ever served the State more faithfully or
uprighily in the positions which he has
filed, The last can be said Of Mr.. Chad
bourne also. But it is not in the province
OF this paper nor of any other, to elect
either one OF the gentlemen to the office
named. That is for the republican MEM
bers Of the legislature to do.
