beautiful city they will receive courteous

In all the cities on Puget Sound, where
is the one that has the advantages pos
sessed by Port Townsend? 1t has fine
school system, and handsome schools,
fine churches, fine brick stores and beau
tiful homes. 1t is the largest port of
entry in the United States and second
only to New York in the matter of tom
mage. Two motor lines will soon be run
ming and residents will be able to get to
their homes in the twinkling OF an eye.
1t has within q short distance the finest
iron mills in the northwest, and saw
mills working all the time getting out
lumber that is shipped to all parts of the
world. The physicians are not growing
rich, because it is one of the healthiest
cities ON the American continent. Ma
laria is unknown. A funeral is rarity,
and centenarians are as plentiful as the
blossoms on the fruit trees; ice is un-
known on the inland lakes and streams,
and the grass has to be mown through
every month in the year. There is no
place in the United States where such
variety and grand scenery can be found.
1t has the prettiest girls, and not one of
them remain single after they are
eighteen. Every man is occupied, there
are no corner loafers, and but few arrests
for drunkenness. Ladies are as safe on
the streets after nightfall as they would
be In their homes. It has thriving
lodges of Masons, Odd Fellows, Good
Templars, Labor Unions, ETC., and Y
NJ. c. A. SO thriving that it has recently
erected magnificent building. 1t has
foundry which manufactures tho iron
fronts for our stoves, and an ice company
that produces the purest ice IN the
worlds marine ways capable o.
handling the largest vessels. As 6
farming country, the islands adjacent tc
the city are unsurpassed throughout
Washington Territory, and best Of all il
has the finest harbor in the world.

What is more pleasing to the ladies o
more dreaded by most men than a dis
play of handsome dress goods and laces
The chap on the corner yesterda.
dropped into the commodious store O
Smith, Ellis & Co. at the corner Of Tyle
and Water streets, and the assortmen
of dress goods for the fair sex and cloth
ing for mems wear quite surprised him
Rolls upon rolls of silks, satins, worstet
and summer goods without number
Something is out of your life if yol
haven't seen the goods in this store.
vital point with Smith, Ellis G Co. is
that their customers shall never be askeC
to look over a mean or meagre lot O
stuff as dress goods bargain. Ever.
lot Of dress goods is a bargain and the!
number into the hundreds of pieces
each. They are worthy your at
tcntioE as being entirely new, nothing
old or passe, in large variety and ample
supply, and what is true of dress good
is true of all other things. Parasols
boots, slippers. hosiery, ribbons. cur
tains, etc., and in gentlemen's' wear
weIi-the firm sells clothing ready made
that is going to give the custom made
tailor a whirl. If you intend travelling
Smith, Ellis & Co. will fit you out and
then sell you trunk or portmanteau tc
carry the things in.
The chap on the corner saw on the
Victoria boat yesterday, an Englishman
who from his iron grey hair one would
imagine had almost reached the three
score period in ife's journey, but who in
reality is under forty. The man has 8
history and the chap on the corner
heard it when he met him for the first
time in the metropolis OF Great Britain
Ten years ago the man was engaged tc
one of the handsomest girls in the wesi
end OF London. Before the wedding took
place, he introduced to his intended wife
an acquaintance whom he knew on the
continent and after the wedding the
friend was made a welcome visitor to
his home the husband did not suspect
that the guest was in any way alternating
the affections Of his wife until his return
from business, less than six months aftel
the marriage, he found his home desert
ed, note from his wife saying that she
loved his friend better than he, and she
would 60 out Of the country with him
The blow Was greater than the husband
could bear and for month he was i'll
and when he recovered he began /:
search that has. continued ever since
When the chap on the corner last me
him in England he had just returned
from a trip TO India but his search wa.
fruitless; he told the chap on the corne
yesterday that for year past he hac
been hunting through the United States
and following every clue; he is now OF
his way through Canada, but sem
blance of his former self, a mere physi
cal wreck.
