1t is the trifes of life that are its
bores after all. Most men can meet
ruin calmly, or laugh when they lie in
ditch with their own knee joint and
their hunters spine broken; it is the
ten seconds by which you miss the
train; 1t is the dust that gets in your
eyes or spolls your cravat; it is the
elevated brick in the sidewalk over
which you ungracefully stumble when
you most desire to walk erect; it is the
badly seasoned vituaIs of the well
meaning but unskillful housewife,-it
is all these that are the bores of life,
and that try the temper OF your phi
losophy.
An acquaintance of ours told us the

and wall paper store is a place of this
kind. Years of fair dealing with their
patronage has taught them that a mu-
tual understanding with customers Is
the key to large trade and success.
In all lines of their goods prices are
way down. Generally speaking, the
margin on their goods is small, but an
extensive trade enables them to figure
this margin to almost nothing and still
make business prosper.
Their drugs are pure; their patent
medicines the very best, and very few
exist that can not be here found at
lowest prices.
The wall paper department within
itself is sight of great interest. 1t
contains a vast variety of styles, de-
signs of every grade. With such a
stock from which to select, and al
such extremely low prices, it is i'm
