Dave Mitchell was late going home
Saturday night He was in the Thomas
County bank when Mr. Mussen wished to
go home to supper and not being through
with his business desired to stay while.
Mr.. MusSon told him to stay until he was
ready to go and then pull the door shut
Time passed on and Mussen enjoyed his
supper while Dave found to his dismay
that he was locked in the bank. About
s o'clock Mr. Mussen came down
town and was surprised to see light in
the bank He had forgotten to leave
the door unlocked.
We have just been admiring one of the
handsomest oil-pictures of ''Jacque'
roses that we have ever seen. and had it
been in an art store We should have
known that good price would be asked
for it. But imagine a work of art of such
intrinsic value being obtained for moth
ing. for that is practically the case. as it
is a supplement to Demorest's Family
Magazine for April. This wonderful pub
lication has an its Easter garb, and it
certainly is an attractive one. Each sue
ceeding number appears to grow better
and better, until we are forced to wonder
what can be done to improve its present
high standard of excellence. The fact of
the matter is there is but one purely
family and home magazine, and that is
Demorest's The illustrations are works
of art. and some of the articles which
the illustrate are Orchids" The Man
haitian Working Girls Society," THE
Easter Lily The Forbidden Place." or
THE Haram Esch- Sheriff of Jerusalem,
I'm the Grasp of the Grip Easter
Eggs Easter Novelties" ''Klndergar-
ten Work and Play for the Home. etc,
besides numerous other articles and
stories, including "A Woman's Kitchen
Garden" ''Our Cooking Class Pres
erving Garments from Moths The Art
of Letter Writing" '.Madge Bontield's
Easter Ghost" etc, etc. Published by
W. Jennings Demorest. Is East 14th ST.,
New York. Every news dealer ought to
keep this valuable publication, and we
suppose they do. 1t shows the magic
power of 20 cents. and the great distance
that small amount can be made to go.
