the Hose Reels, andnow they're
here. If you want a labor
saver and a rubber hose saver
in one, the Hose Reel is just
what you want. People who
bought the last lot have found |
this out and tell US so. Ifyou've
ever used one, you will agree
with us. If you haven't and
want to find out their value
by experience, it will be good
chance for you to take one of
these; the price is trifling-the
value great.
We have added a lot Of
small Iron Stoves to our stock
and will probably be able to
suit you now even if you want
something besides a Fischer
Steel Range. For plain every
day work, and a cheap article
the Pansy Iron Stove stands at
the top of the heap, but for one
that will cook the incest of
delicacies without the aid of a
cooking manual, we commend
the Fischer Steel Range to
your notice.
Two hundred and fifty Sin
ger Sewing Machines seem like
a large number for a place
where every one has or should
have a machine. Sewing ma
chimes are as much a necessity
as a cooking stove, and when
a lady starts out to buy one an
expenditure of a sixty-hve to a
hundred dollars stares her in
the face. The sixty-fve dol
| lars means lot OF stinting
nowadays and she wants to
get the most for her money
she buys a treadle machine
that will economic in the use
of her hands at the expense of
her back and limbs. That
tired feeling is the only re-
suit. Take our Singer Ma
chimes ; the work-by-hand-
sort and you have something
that runs as light as it is posi-
bic for a sewing machine to
run and one that will do just
the same work as a high priced
foot machine and you get the
whole business for twelve dol
lars. Isn't this economy?
The arrival of the "Dimond"
breaks the corner in Filters,

raj stone and is impervious to
microbes. 1t is an utter i'm
possibility for single germ to
crawl through the pores of this
stone. Thousands are in use

want absolutely pure drinking

In Debt.

A man who attempted to raise some
money on subscription paper for q
necessary church out West relates his
experience as follows:
"The first man I went to, said ne
was very sorry, but the fact was, ne
was so involved in his business that
he could not give anything. Very
sorry, but a man in debt as he was
owed his duty to his creditors.
"He was smoking an expensive
cigar and before I left his store he
bought of peddler who came in, a
pair Of expensive Rocky Mountain
cuff buttons.
"The next man I went to was a
young clerk in a banking establish
ment. He read the paper over, ac-
knowledged that the church was need
ed, but said he was owing for his
board, was badly in debt and did not
see how he could give anything.
"That afternoon, as I went by the
base ball grounds, I saw this young
man pay fifty cents at the entrance to
90 in, and saw him mount the grand
stand where special seats were sold
for a quarter ofa dollar.
"The third man to whom l present
ed the paper was farmer living near
town. He also was sorry, but time.
we're hard, his crops had been a par
tial failure, the mortgage on bis farm
was heavy load, the interest was
coming due, and he really could moi
see his way clear to give to the
church, although it was just what the
new town needed.
"A week from that time ! saw thai
same farmer drive into town With MI
entire family, and go to the circus
afternoon and night, at an expense %
at least four dollars.
"The Bible says, Judge not, tha
We be not Judged" but it also says
BY their fruits ye shall know them.' :
And I really could not help thinking
that the devil could use that old ex'
cuse. In debt to splendid advan-
tage, especially when he had a selfish
man to help him.

with step triumphant and heart to
cheer;
Who fights the daily battle without tear
Sees his hopes tall, yet keeps unfaltering
trust
That God is God; that somehow, true ana
just,
His plans work out for mortals. Not
tear
Is shed when fortune, which the world
holds dear,
Falls from his grasp. Better with love
crust
Than living in dishonor; envies not,
Nor loses faith in man ), but does his best,
Nor ever murmurs at his humble lot,s
But with smile and word of hope give zest
To every toiler. He alone is great
Who by a life heroic conquers fate.
