The schooner Polly that was in collision
OF Portland Head and of which mention
mas already been made has had quite an
eventful history. She was originally sloop
rugged and was built in 1903, and is probably
the Oldest sea-going vessel in the United
States. She was captured by British pri-
vateer in the war of 1912 and taken into Cas-
tine, then held by the British. She was soon
after recaptured by the Americans, and her
rig changed to schooner, since which time
she has been constantly employed as coast
er, and her oak frame is apparently as sound
now as when first put in.

7 N looking over our stock
Il of Jerseys, we find a sur
plus of some sizes, none
at all in others, too many
kinds and not enough of
any one kind to make a
presentable line.
With such a state of
things there is no other
way than to rub out and
begin all over again-sell
everything off and buy an
entire naw stock - that's
what we've decided to do
with the Jerseys.
All the SI.25, $3.50 and
SI.75 Jerseys of whatever
sort, size or quality have
been marked rs cents, and
all those that have been Sc,
S2.25, $3.50 and So, are
marked $3.50; and at these
two prices our whole assort-
ment of plain and vest
fronts braided and embroid-
cred Jerseys are included.
There's nothing the mat
with the goods; they're not
damaged, not even soiled,
the line of color includes
black, brown, garnet and
blue and among them all
are nearly all sizes.
It's a startling cut IN

Hoods sarsapariIIa
Cost. the Retail Druggist. More, f

Costs the Retail Druggists More, for the
same reason-as can easily be learned by inquiry
Hence the desire of some retailers to sell their
own preparations, which cost them less, and for
which they get the same price, thus making more
money. But
q. Ii costs the Consumer LESS than any
other medicine, because of its greater concen-
trated strength, and the quantity in each bottle
and because it is the only preparation OF which
can truly be said, 900 Doses One DoIlar.,
On this platform Hoods Sarsaparllla stands
absolutely beyond the approach of competitors
They copy our methods of advertising, they use
our language, they steal our headlines but they
do not, They Cannot, copy or reproduce our
preparation, Hoods Sarsaparilla,
First, Because Ii costs TO much Money
to do IL proftably.
Second. The Combination, Proportion,
and Process in preparing Hoods Sarsaparilla
are peculiar to itself, and competitors cannot
find the secret by which this medicine secures its
real merit and in consequence Of which it effects
remarkable cures where other preparations fail.
A Point For You
When you buy your spring medicine, you want
the best. Ask for Hoods Sarsaparilla. and insist
upon having it. Do not let any argument or per-
suasion influence you to buy what you do not
want. Be sure to get the ideal spring medicine,
Hoods Sarsaparilla.

Where the "Tips" Go.

"John, am in a hurry; see if you can't get my baggage out of 210 in time for the limited" said gentleman at one of the big hotels yesterday, at the same time dropping half dollar in the port er's hand. John, with measured alac- tity, went to obey his orders.
 Do you know," said hotel man standing by, that your half dollar will find it's way into the coffers of the hotel company"
 "How is that?"
 ''In many hotels, and I know it is the rule in this hotel, the head porter is re- quired to turn over to the house all the tips he receives, and he receives his pay in salary and commission on the tips It is one of the secrets of the business, and is development of the close busi- ness methods of the day. Even the tips of the servants are made to con- tribute to the revenues of the employer. ,
 "But can't the porter keep the tips in spite of the house?''
 ''Oh, yes, in some cases, but the en- ployer takes care to pick out an honest man and watch him in the bargain, for the tip business in a large hotel like this must be worth S15 or S20 day to the head porter. r.'-Chicago News
