Ladies' Blazers
AND
Shirt Waists.

We have struck the popular taste
with our novelties in Blazers, Shirts,
Blouses and Waists for Ladies. We
show more styles, more designs and
more fabrics than any other two
houses in the city, while many of
our styles cannot be duplicated, our
buyer having just returned from
New York and brought many new,
choice and novel styles along with
him. We are thus placed in such
a position that we are far ahead of
all competition in this particular
line.

Not many Eastern people, unless they
are acquainted with the forests OF the
Mississippi Valley, and more especial ly
those found on the higher Allegheny
mountains, know what = really large hick-
DRY tres 10. The shellbarks OF Southern
Indiana are sometimes 100 feet tall, with
trunks four or five feet In diameter, and
bare Of limbs for 70 or 50 feet; and even
larger trees can be found in the still
almost untouched forests OF Eastern Ten
nessee and Western North Carolina. But
those large trees are doomed, and before
many years have passed every hickory
tree OF sufficient size and proper quality
will have been sacrificed to supply the
eyer-incrensing demand for the wood.

Two Gents and and Postage Stamp.
Three sweet-looking girls got on an
electric car yesterday bound for West
Eighth street. They sat and giggled
pleasantly until the conductor came
through the car to collect the fares. Then
with equal promptness esch Of the girls
reached for her purse, and the following
conversation ensued:
All three at once-"Oh, let me pay"
May-"NO. it's my turn; insist on
paying"
Clara-''Girls, It's really my turn to
pay, and want 10 do It,.
Fanny-"I proposed riding home; so !
think ought to pay"
Then the three purses were simultan-
eously opened and the three pretty faces
grew scarlet. Two cents and . postage
stamp was the wealth of the crowd.
Without needing the offers of financial
aid, which came from several gentlemen,
the three girls hurried out OF the car, and
as 1t rolled away were standing on the
corner explaining to each other how it
happened that they were all broke.

The dog is an Irish setter, not yet 8
years old, owned by Mr.. Ketchum.
of Brighton, Ont, and s he trots as
perfectly as any horse, His name
is Doc. and there is.nothing about him
to indicate speed His build is that OF
the ordinary Irish setter, but in a race
he seems imbued with all the spirit OF
a thoroughbred racehorse. Today
Doc was attached toa little cart weigh
ing twenty-eight pounds, and when
the youthful driver, Willie Ketchum,
aged probably or years, took his
seat the dog was pulling eighty-one
pounds, much more than his own
weight. Mr.. James Riley drove, Loafer
around the half mile course with the
canine racer and the latter turned the
half mile in :55. the first quarter be-
ing made in So. Mr.. Riley had his
horse just behind the dog, and every
few moments the latter would throw
his head around. and seeing the horse
close to him would trot faster. The
boy urged him OH with few touches
of the whip and shout coming down
the stretch, and the dog responded
we'll. The track was quite heavy, and,
had it been we'll scraped, the owner
says the dog would have gone much
faster. After the race the dog was
loosened and scampered Oft playfully,
just like the ordinary canine. Docs
trotting ability was first discovered by
Mr.. Riley while driving with his
Strathlan Queen on an asphalt paved
street on the east side some time ago.
There was race, and the story is told
that the setter beat Mr.. Riley's mare
about ten feet in two blocks. He
was trained to trot before year old,
and one feature of his work is that he
never loses the gait: A special matinee
will be given at the course Saturday
afternoon, and it is likely that the set
ter will give an exhibition.-Kansas
