Barnard, Sumner & Co.

We'll, we thought 1T alto
gether likely you would see
that nov was a grand good
time to settle the Carpet ques-
ton.
OF course, we know all about
it, and that you talked it all
over and over and continued
to hold back the decision you
wanted to make.
We are glad enough if the
suggestion we made recently
helped you to decide in favor
of the new carpet nO0O.
Especially SO, as we are so
sure that a better opportunity
cannot come to you this year.
Smiths MOgHetIeS, of ap-
proved quality, at Slip I-2 a
yard is startling proposition
after all.
Beautiful Moquettes, with
the softest possible color blend
ing that brings to your thought
the lovely haze of summer
twilight.
Nothing can be more restful
to the eye than a Moquette
Carpet.
They are now within your
reach-$I.I2 G-2 a yard the
present price.
Brussels Carpets, of acknowl-
edged excellence, $I.15 ayard,
are not the startling reduction
you sometimes read about.
But it is a real reduction on
Carpets of known reliable
quality.
That makes all the differ
ence in the world with you.
Ingram Carpets are in gen
eral use everywhere.
1t is the great popular Car
pet, of course.
The word Ingram is made
to do duty for every sort Of
graduation in a certain weave.
There are all wool Ingrains.
There are Ingrains not all
wool.
We want to talk to you
about The real Lngyalns.
The all wool Ingrains.
Extra-super Ingrains.
Perhaps you need not now
be told that we are talking about
a quality in Carpet excellence
known as Ours, a word that
represents much to you and
that is the mystery of many.
These All Wool Extra-Super
Ingram Carpets are now 55c
yard.
When you come to see
them you will find a goodly
number here on the same
Grand.
If you have any interest in
a new bonnet, now a days, you
can have your pick from forty
already trimmed, at less than
half the usual price.
Indeed, you can have one
for a very small price.
In fact the price won't
trouble you at all.
If you we're here yesterday
you must have wondered why
there was such a crush at the
Cotton and Linen sections.
We keep very large sup
ply of Cotton Cloth, and it
, seems impossible to stop the
very large sale OF tnern.
: OF course, our Cottons are
of the best.
i; Equally, of course, you al
ways get them for whatever
price rules.
; In Linens there is a never
ending interest. Ladies stood
= two deep the most of yesterday
afternoon.
We gave prompt attention
:: to all and had a delightful time
( doing it.
a 1t is delightful to have you
n all so hapDv in YOUR purchases.

A Politicians Mistake.

Senator Gray of Delaware, tells of a poll
tician in his state who was personally
conducting his canvass for reelection,
and prided himself on his acquaintance
with the people of his district. Meeting a
young man whom he remembered re-
Gently fiedged voter he grasped his hand
and greeted him effusively. ''Why, john -
he said, I'm mighty glad to see you. The
last time / met you you were hardly more
than a boy and now you're man. Well,
how's your father"
Fathers been dead for a year now
said the yonng man.
What Dead? Your father? I'm so
sorry. Your father and were old friends.
/ thought very highly of your father.
Well, it's what we all must come to some
day. I'm glad to have seen you again,
John. Goodby."
They parted. An hour later they met
again. The politician had forgotten all
about the first meeting. He had shaken
hands with hundred people in the mean
time. He greeted his young constituent
with the same effusiveness. why, John,
I'm glad to you he said. And how's
your father"
Hes still dead.' said the young man.

The Gloucester schooner Dart was max
ing her way into Boston harbor in a heavy
fog, which had shut down unexpectedly,
and had caused great deal of grumbling
on board. The pilot, especially, was anx-
ious and unhappy. Suddenly, at an early
hour in the morning, the fog lifted a little,
and the Darts pilot saw right ahead of
him a large East Indiaman. The Dart IS
helm was quickly put down, and the
schooner slid under the stern of the large
vessel. Then the pilots voice, husky with
fog, rose from the Dart ship ahoy! What
ship is that" ''Ship Reindeer, from Cal
cutta," came the answer promptly. How
long outs zone hundred and fourteen
days" There was moments silence;
then the voice sang out from the Reindeer,
what ship is that" Schooner Dart,
from Gloucester" replied the husky pilot.
How long outs" "Out all night" came
the plaintive answer.-San Francisco Ar

The Value of Outdoor Exercise.

Habitual outdoor exercise, with suitable
protection from extremes of weather, is
tho most effective means of prclonging life
to old age. In this age of rush and hurry,
when time is too precious to us, for system
attic exercise and wien the cultivation of
the brain too often debars the remainder
of the body from complete development,
it is not to be wondered at that the body
succumbs to diseases which Oyertake it in
it's prime, because it has not the vitality to
resist their inroads. Our legal authorities
would coufer countless blessings upon
millions yet unborn if they would pay
more attention to increasing the number
of public parks and places conducive to in
diligence in outdoor sports.-Youth's Com

DEAD MEN TURNED TO STONE.
The Strange SPECTACLE to BE Seen Where
Once n City Stood.

The Strange SPECTACLE to BE Seen Where
Once n City Stood.
Away up among the sagebrush of White
Pine, far removed from the shrek of the
locomotive and only disturbed by the occa-
sional prospector is a strange, silent city.
Once more than 81. 600 people carried On all
kinds of business and traffic there. 1t was
during the phenomenal rush to White
Pine in 1867. Many hundreds of buildings
were erected. 1t was a wild, new city,
which never slept, and where were enacted
all the scenes which in the telling made
Mark Twain and Bret Harte famous. This
was the story which an old White Pine
man recounted:
Now, if you go there" said he, 'you see
only few of those buildings, for most of
them have fallen in and decayed. Scat
tered log cabins yet remain where noun
tain squirrels scurry to and fro at the
sound of mans footsteps But it is not of
this that I.Started out to tell you, but of a
second silent city where hundreds of men
lie buried and where scarcely a headstone
marks their last resting place. The head
stones, where there were any at ALL were
of wood and they quickly rotted away.
The formation all about there is largely of
limestone. Water percolating through it
partakes of the nature of lime, and this in
many cases has petrified the bodies.
$50 if one were to dig here and there in
the great graveyard he would find on every
hand petrified men. In many cases they
are peurified so completely that the entire
remains, even down TO the features are in
tact. The quiet graveyard, stretching over
many acres, numbers among its sieepers
all classes. There are those who died in
midwinter of pneumonia and typhoid
fever, for in those wild times men could
not take good care of themselves. DeSper-
ADDE'S are there also. Numberless persons.
of all degrees, died with their boots on.
THE men who came there on fortune
bent embraced all classes. There was the
hardened prospector and the tenderfoot
the professional man, the farmer for the
first time turning his attention toward
mines. and the adventurer Death settled
upon them, high and low alike. Many an
eastern family perhaps to this day are
waiting for the return of father, son or
brother. They have dropped out forever,
and there. caught by the underground ele-
ments and turned to stone, they will lie
till the end of time. 1t is lonely city to
visit now, but twenty-five years ago it was
a humming, roaring place, not unlike
Creole, only larger. 1t looks uncanny
now and l do not often visit it, but when
l do l am constantly impressed with the
uncertainty of all human affairs The old
wooden headstones that yet remain are ex-
ceedingly suggestive. ''-San Francisco Ex-

fail for want of water. A very good plant
for this use is othonna. 1t has succulent
foliage, and plants of this class get along

Sunday Nights Tornado.

About 10 o'clock Sunday night
the attention Of a number of per-
sons was arrested by a noise that
resembled the roar of an express
train. Many thought the noise
was produced by an incoming
train and gave it no further atten.
ton. Owing to the lateness of the
hour, the rain and darkness all
were in doors, and but few saw the
storm cloud that passed over the
very heart of the city, and had it
travelled little nearer the ground
would have cut road through
business houses and residence
through the entire city from south
west to nmtheast. The cloud
came from the southwest, and to
those who saw its approach, it re-
sembled dense volume of smoke,
funnel shaped. AS it passed over
the First National bank the cloud
dipped, the apex striking the
sign, and tearing it down.
Three expensive transoms were
also broken out Of the second
story. AS the cloud crossed the
street to the east it dipped lower
and struck the fronts of j. b.
Owen e. Cos. grocery store, Cole
d Greene's furniture store, and
Cross Bros. grocery store. The
fronts were torn out of these down
to the first story, the brick falling
outward into the street. The rear
of Cole d Greene's furniture store
was also torn out of the second
story. Six large windows were
torn out of Henry Eckert's resi-
dence and large plate glass in
the bay window. The cloud did no
further damage except to send the
the limb OF a tree through the
weather boarding of Chas. Bounds
residence, until it reached the east
ern suburbs, where it demolished
two new residences, nearly COM
pleted, of Thos. Sees & Son.
About three miles southwest Of
town, in the Heyd neighborhood,
another tornado developed. Here
Geo. Hevd's dwelling was wreck.
ed aud his furniture and dishes
broken. Adam Diehl's barn in
the sane neighborhood was torn
down: Large trees were also
broken off, and fences blown away.
Two of the brick buildings in
jured on the east side, belong to
James Dodson, the other to S. NJ
Picker and were not insured. The
damage to Mr.. Baird's building is
covered by cyclone policy.
