there is an interesting relic preserved in
Alnwick castle 10 which Il romantic
legend is attached. The treasured relic
is a lady's reticule, such as was COM
monty carried seventy years ago-more
or lcss-and which did the duty of a
pocket. On the night preceding the
battle Of Waterloo the Duke of yelling
ton and his chief officers attended ball
at Brussels, given by the duchess Of
RichmonI. and Maj Percy, who was
present. became deeply interested in a
hdy whom he met for the first time.
When "milnicht brought the signal
sound Of strife, " and Maj. Percy and the
lady had 10 part With r.utual regret, he
begged of her some souvenir Of their
happy meeting. and she resigned to INN
her reticule. Next day came the great
battle. and Maj. Percy was selected to
convey to Lord Bathurst the duke s
famous dispatch, with its admirable de-
scription of the contest, dated Waterloo,
June 70. 1915. The precious document
was conveyed TO the minister in the
treasured reticule The story as told to

A PIONEER MERCHANT.
Geo. DunfOrd's Exclusive Boot
and shoe Store.

George Dunford is doing a rushing
business nowadays in the boot and
shoe trade, and his clerks are kept SO
busy that he says he is almost dubious
about advertising for fear it may bring
more trade than he will be able to cope
with. Il is only of late years that Mr..
Dunford has gone into
THE EXCLUSIVE BOOT AND SHOE TRADE,
And since he turned his attention ex-
clusively to the boot and shoe
trade alone his business has
steadily grown and increased to
gratifying dimensions. Mr.. Dunford
has made several lines OF trades a
speciality, his strongest being his cheap
grade of shoes, the 81, So 50 and So
shoe having an immense run because
of its strength and durability. Mr..
Dunford directs the attention of
FAIR AND CONFERENCE VISITORS
To this line of shoes in particular, and
claims that he will be able to satisfy all
wants for any sizes and any quantities.
Besides these shoes, Mr.. Dunford's
shelves are well stocked with hne SHOES
ami slippers, boys and girls
school shoes, and ladies fine
wear. His stock of boots and
shoes are constantly replenished from
| the best factories. The season finds
him with an ample stock with which to
satisfy the wants Of the people.
HIS TWENTY-FIVE YEARS EXPERIENCE
as q boot and shoe merchant in Sal
Lake City has given him the best sort O.
acquaintance with the needs of the PEG
pie, and the line of patronage his estab
fishment enjoys from the workingmer
to the wealthy shows how his efforts ar'
| appreciated. He is we'll prepared To-
