with the Widow IcGraw. She was
smitten with lis red s,hiskers and win

on the way they stopped at restau-

which he did, and on leaving he told
the widow that it was the most enioya-

Classifying a Minister.

OF one Of the best known Methodist
ministers a good story is being told.
AS he himself relates the anecdote with
many laughs there can be no harm in
giving names. He was addressing the
Sunday school scholars at a certain
gathering-and by she" refer to the
Rev. J. F. Berry-when, to get them
in fellowship with himself, he referred
to the introduction of the superintend-
emf, and queried, with a smile, Now,
boys, what kind of a berry do you take
me to be-" "a strawberry" sang out
g. roguish lad in the front seat. "a
huckleberry," chuckled that lads
neighbor. Then, to keep the ball of
good humor rolling, the Rev. Mr.. Ber-
~ called out to an old colored woman
In the rear row, "Well, auntie, what
kind OF a berry do you think amr' to
which that keen witted grand'am made
answer at once, ga gooseberry, shout
say, an I don reckon you'll ever ripen,
either!"-Cor. New York Commercial
Advertiser.

Il had long watched girl and her
beau walking along Lexington avenue
on summer afternoons. His face al
ways looked troubled, while she was
always smiling. He would be arguing
with her about something. and she
would never get serious. saw right
away what the trouble was. The
young fellow loved the girl and was
trying to get her to say yes, while she
was coquetting with him and holding
him off. 1t worried me, and thought
If the two would only do their walking
here on Madison avenue instead of on
Lexington avenue they would soon
come to an understanding.
''But they stuck TO Lexington, and
the fellow kept on pleading, while the
girl laughed him off Then | couldn't

guess he thought was q crank Of
some sort. Next day, though, he and
the girl changed over on to Madison
avenue, and when I passed them the
young fellow nodded pleasantly to me.
Now, said l to myself, we'll have
wedding. For a few days the girl
didn't stop smiling, and was getting
little afraid of the charm.
Then one afternoon the two came
along, and saw that the girls face
was serious. She was flushed, and she
kept her eyes cast down as she walked.
The young man was talking harder
than ever, but his face was brighter
than I had seen it before. Just at dusk
[ saw him taking her to her door. She
was thoughtful and he was radiant.
Wei, sir, the two are married now,
and they say that she dotes on him.
Oh, there's no doubt about the charm.
Look at the boys and girls round here.
There are four couples in sight now,
and every one is q marriage. Why,

Years ago there was tragic ship
wreck on the Maine coast near Mount
Desert. The vessel was Transporting
Van Amburg's caravan. This yarn of
a drowned circus was related to me in
Wiscasset by an ancient mariner in hat
salty port. According to his recoIlec-
tons, the lions and the tigers and the
monkeys and nearly all the crew were
drowned. The one who came out of
the disaster easiest was the elephant
keeper. He mounted his huge charge,
prodded the animal behind the ear and
rode the bulky swimmer triumphantly

tinctlVe CHARACTERISTICS OF nigh
grade wooden dress goods, and
it may be all sufficient to say
that the meaium grades follow
SO closely in the wake of the
high grades that styles and
patterns are almost identical.
The manufacturers this side
the water are alert and watch
full of all that is done on the
other side, and, with the great
facilities at their command, are
producing splendid goods at
the lower prices wanted by our
people.
The heavy, soft, clinging
Che0lois will rule woman's dress
kingdom this year, and no mat
ter what the price per yard
may be, these characteristics
must be found in the material
for your dress.
While the high grade Bed
ford Cords cost $3.50 yard,
the same styles made in
America are to be had in great
abundance for soc a yard.
At SOC a yard you are not
compelled to buv goods mani
testify inferior.
On the contrary, you get ex-
cellent qualities, not quite SO
fine of course, but sensible,
durable fabrics in exactly the
same patterns as the higher
cost goods.
For several years we have
made it leading purpose to
secure for soc a yard the finest
and best goods that could be
made.
1t is true that many of them
cost to produce dangerously
near the soc you pay for them.
r But that matters little. We
have determined that our soc
. dress goods shall be notable
and noteworthy.
That our ladies appreciate
the Importance of this part of
: our dress goods department
, we have abundant proof in the
i wonderful increase in the de-
r mand for this class of goods,
: an increase SO great that we
are again compelled to make
n radical changes in our store to
!, accommodate business you
= bring to us.
r CheOlotS, of course, will be
!, the great weave of the year, as
. we have said over and over
J. again.
t So popular are they that the
s manufacturers of cotton goods
e have initiated them, and there
i are Cotton Cheviots for I2I-2c
yard.
We never say overmuch Of
c this class of goods ; that they
l. are wanted and that they are
y useful we know.
e But
+ 1t has ever been our pur-
;; pose to win favor for the bet
: ter grade of goods because we
n know that after all they save
you more money in the long
run and give you better salts
: faction every time.
We have Cheviot Plaids for
25c yard. We do not call
them all wool, but the wool is
what is seen, and they are very
good for the money.
While there is an abundance
of plaids and stripes in the
rough Cheviot goods, yet there
are plenty in the smooth eff
fects for those who do not
care to be ultra fashionable.
In these soft clinging fabrics the prices
go from 25c, &c, 45c, 6Oc, 75c and S1.OO.
Never in all your life have you seen such
variety of these beautiful low-priced
goods as is to be found in our stock this
year.
OF course, you will find on examination
that there are great many splendid goods
that are not named.
For instance we tell you that We have a
genuine French Broddcloh in every desir-
able shade at 81 yard.
If we left it there you would know less
