A TRUE SPOKANE STORY.

THE PLAY OF HAMLET AND soME OF OUR OWN
STRANGE SIGHTS coMPARED.--THR DIFFER
RHcE BETWEEN THE OLD AND THE NEW
WHAT A DAY CAN BRING roRrH.-Br THEIR
FRUITS YE SHALL KNOW THEN.
Lovers OF Shakespeare are familiar with
the passage between Hamlet and Horatio,
wherein Horatio describes the appearance
Of the ghost, and tells Hamlet that he
would have been much amazed had he
been there. VERY like-vsry like re-
pliee the melancholy Dane. 1fHamlet, or
Shakespeare himself for the matter Of that
had ever been presented with one OF those
sxtortionate plumbers bills so common
nowadays, neither ghost or anything
else would have ever astonished him again
in this world
1t must be very gratifying to, the
citizens of Spokane to learn
that the leading hardware house
in the city, the Spokane Hardware COM
pany has established in connection with
theft store first class
PLUMBING DEPARTMENT.,
in which they are prepared to do all kinds
OF work connected with the business OF
plumbing, including gas fixtures, water
pipes and the thorough ventilation OF res.
licences.
They have just secured the services of
MR.. o'aARA
lately with Hobart & Willis, of Minneapo-
lis whose experience guarantees perfect
work and on the shortest notice. 1t will
be advisable for contractors and builders to
call on this enterprising firm and get
figures before making a final decision, be-
cause it Is now the only thoroughly equip.
ped establishment for this kind OF work In
the city. Men makea great mistake II
they suppose for even one moment, that 1t
Is all one, who does their work, or to whom
they pay their money. There Is nothing
like dealing with well established and re-
liable merchants and II there Is any place
for leakage II is in plumbing bill.
Therefore it Is source OF great
satisfaction that an entirely new plumbing
establishment has been started
in our midst. The news went off by the as
sociated press last night that the contract
for grading on the Spokane & Seattle road
had been let. This brings Joy to every
man in our midst, but IL the truth were
made known, nothing would make us
sleep better at night than to know that
hereafter we are sure of having safe and
reliable plumbing done in our city. The
spokane Hardware Company is too well
known and too favorably known to need

large stock of goods in his line, including
hardware, builders and heavy hardware
and all else that is included in first class
establishment. Spokane is going forward
with grand strides, but she cannot
move too rapidly for the business of this
firm. They will not only keep up but will
keep ahead of the requirements OF the day
and of their trade. The warm weather is
coming on. Do you need Perfection re-
frigerator? The Spokane Hardware Com
pany keeps them. 1t will soon be
time to use cooling dishf
There is nothing better than ice cream,
and there il no way to make 1t, equal to
using one Of the Spokane Hardware
company's freezers. We are enabled to
grow the I1ost luxuriant grasses, and
grass to look well must be kept nicely
trimmed. The laws mowers at the
Spokane Hardware company 3 store can
not be excelled. But why enumerate
GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN once said
that details drove him crazy, while
it il reported, that SEQ. Lamar said re-
Gently 3: a cabinet meeting, that
figures make him sick. Why 90 into de-
tail to prove self-evident fact A visit
to this establishment Ia sufficient to de-
monstrats the truth of all that Is here
said. But men will not always GO and
see for themselves. Therefore they have
to be instructed, they have to be taught
in spite OF themselves, and There ID no
better place to do this than in the daily
journals Of the country.
