rents, at one time being mingled with
hail. There was not much thunder but
vivid flashes of lightning following each
other quickly and the shower had every
quality Of mid summer thunder storm
1t did not last long, but the dashing rain
and hail beat the dying leaves from
the trees TO the ground, covering
the streets and sidewalks near the trees
with yellowish carpet Those that the
rain did not beat off were loosened from
their hold, and the breeze this morning
send them down in showers upon the
heads of men going to work, TO the horror
of thrifty housewives who FASTENED ont

We also predicted $4,000
bargains at our stores. How
near we came to the mark here

call and inquiring the prices.
W. If in all the vast amount of
Furniture and Carpets you
cannot get suited, you must be
very hard to suit. And right
here we wish to remark to
those buyers that are hard to
suit, we would like YOU to call,
we wish to see you always.
We not only want the easy
buyers, but the hard ones. 1t
makes us put out our resources,
puts us on our mettle and
brightens up our wits. It's a
satisfaction to know that we
can suit those that cannot oct
suited elsewhere-a satisfaction
to both you and us.
Have you put yourself in
shape for your new carpets? If
so, come to us, we have a large
stock of good, fresh goods at
the lowest prices.
We have, this week, a starter
in a Lowell Extra Super at a
price far below what you ever
heard. These goods speak for
themselves. It's said the ruling
evil of carpet store is in not
laying the carpets promptly.
We have determined to have
this different. We will lay a

Every one took off his coat and talked
tariff, the trains shooting along at the rate
of sixty miles an hour. When the trains
pulled up in the Pennsylvania depot at
