The two-price shoe dealer says, "An
English Curacao kid at $2.25 is sheep
skin" We say, il It were sold from his
establishment it would be sheepskin at
that price. But the Peoples Store
profit is only IA per cent. ON shoes there
fore they can sell real Englishs Curacao
kid button shoes, with worked button
holes, at S2.25.
The millers or enlarged moths were
out in force last night. They soon filed
the shade of the electric light in front of

might have been emptied and filed
again before midnight.
Antonio Gotta, commonly known as
"Peachy," was arrested last night about
midnight for attempting to set fire to

Bernardino mountains that the owners
Of sawmills cannot get to their mills to
commence the Spring business. And
yet the mills are within twenty miles OF
perpetual Summer.
The two.price shoe dealer says we
s'never advertised to sell Misses Pebble
Goat button shoes at el.25." We say
we know you never have, for if that

it. Fifteen cents, or IA per cent, u
prefit enough for the Peoples Store.

The two-price shoe dealer is squirming
again. He gets the idea that the Peo.

IA per cent, profit, as Is being done at
the Peoples Store.
