Say, William, what time have you?
l have let my watch run down and
want to set it. Well, John, [ have no
time; 1 took my watch to a man in
town, he said he could fix it, so left
it with him. 1 went after it, he said
he had fixed it, and so he did; been
there three times since. 1t don't run
any now; he has ruined it. No more
cheap work for me by incompetent
workmen, they only botch it so that
it costs more TO have it done right
Who Repairs your Watch? 1 want
to get this one repaired if 1 can.
John, will tell you where to go;
when you go to town go up to the
House, Mr.. HENRY BURTON
keeps right opposite, he is the Boss
workman; you take it to him and he
will repair it for you.

is large.
do they wear out easilyp''
"That depends entirely on the kind
Of show the wearer ID acting in. Circus
riders wear the most It's the rosin on
the horses back that does that Then
the wearer perspiring makes 1t necessary
TO have them washed every time they
are used. A bareback circus rider will
wear out one or two pair week. They
cost all the way from 81 pair up to al.
most any price. The average pair for
circus people costs &6. They are plain
woven tights, but very strong. There
are innumerable varieties in material.
in styles, in eolors and still more ia fits.
The cheapest tight are made OF cotton.
These are made in all colors, flesh,
white, black. unbleached, chocolate and
brown. Then there are fine cotton

We make padded skirts, padded hips,
padded arms. padded insteps, padded
thighs, padded legs. and. in fact, padded
everything. The pads are made of fine
lambs wool. When large ballet ID

Some Of the prettiest girls will be slight
