wretched homes, and brought up in
industrial schools under scientific

When the girls were old enough, they
were put out to service, but in every

cruelty to children. of their ingratitude

FOR OUR YOUNG FOLKS.
A TRAGIC FATE.

There was once q lovely dolly,
And her name was Mary Ann;
Her head was made OF china,
And her body filled with bran.
She had dresses, hats aud sashes-
AwardI Obe quite complete
And the prettiest little slippers
On her pretty little feet
1t chanced one summer evening.
When all were still in bed,
In her dainty cap and slippers
She WAS sitting in tho shed:
For her sleepy little mamma.
All tired and careless grown.
Had left her quite forgotten
In the wagon-hOuse alone.
Then the night grew dark and darkeH
As the evening hours went by.
And the round moon. white as silver.
Came up I'm the eastern sky.
Not light shone from the window1
Not 4 breeze the treetops stirred,
And the tramp OF tiny footsteps
Was the only sound she heard.
Twas the mice in squadrOns coming
From their homes beneath the fiOOr,
From the ce ling and the attic,
And the hole behind the door:
Running. skipping. leapine, dancing.
With the merry jest and laugh,
All in haste together summoned,
By their special telegraph
Young and old, and big and little.
Mice of every tribe aud clan.
fastened to the feast and revel,
All for love Of Mary Ann.
Oh. mothers dear, and sisters,
And aunts throughout the land,
Give the dolls Q meal of sawdust
Or f1ll them up with sand.
With hemp or fax or cotton,
But never stun with bran.
Lest they meet the tragic fate
OF the lovely Mary Ann.

Our Great Carpet Sale Continues
at the New York
Store.
The SO.Called Honest Man Hurt.

The honest man states that he cannot tell
q lie. Yet he says there is no new carpets
fresh from the loom outside Of New York
City.
Simply because he is not large enough to
attend the Big Manufacturers Auction sales
that take place annually in the great CONNER
cial center, but has to content himself by
purchasing from jobbers.
Marshall, Field 6 Co., and other large
dealers were there and bought. Mr.. M.
Kohn bought for his three stores at the same
sale.
AS all know, even if the so-called honest
man does not, all Carpets for Fall and Winter
Trade are on the looms in the Spring and
Summer months. so if the honest man has
not new Carpets he must have old ones.
One word more to the Honest Man. -
We were never Home Brigadier General
in the late npleasantness-on high priv
ate-but in this Carpet War. we are in the
front rank. We haVe the largest and best
stock in the city--ALl FRESH FROM THE LOOMS.
Our great sale consists OF 5000 YARDS Of
TAPESTRY BRUSSELS. and every Carpet pur-
chased will be made and laid free of extra
charge. We are not egotistical; we do not
say we are the only honest man; we do not
brag on our honesty. neither do we permit
our clerks to state that the Carpets Of other
houses are moth-eaten, when they know it
to be a bare-faced LIE,
We only ask purchasers to attend our
Carpet Sales and we will prove these facts.
