was little satisfaction in Ackerman's re
port the tur0StileS had one that was vast
lv more enc aging. a. they recorded %.
592 paid admissions for the day. This is
encouraging not only for the number, but
for the fact that it shows Il steady and

We find we have much too large a
stock of Carpets to carry over. In or
der to reduce it, we have decided to
make horizontal reduction that
will move them at once.
We are not prone to indulgence in
sensational head lines or extravagant
boasting, but I" at this time and place"
positively assert that we shall place
lower prices on Carpets than they were
ever before sold for in Portage County
"a bona fide cost basis.
'sThere is reason in all things" and
our reason for this sacrifice in price is
that we want the room for our Fall
stock.
Now is your opportunity. You will
scarcely have another such an one in
life time to buy elegant Floor Cover
ings untainted with profit to the seller
It will pay you to anticipate your
purchases in the line of Carpets.
We mention in particular our large
and superb stock of Body and Tapes
try Brussels. The prices we have
marked on them will meet your ap
proval, and cause you to willingly par
with your bottom dollar, if needs be

of it: An elegant Brussels Carpet al

marks about or to US. Not so with
the watermelon. One day Judge Mack
of Kansas said to his grocer:
"People in this town seem distant,
unsociable."
you don't understand human ma
ture, said the grocer. "Take home
this watermelon in the basket on your
arm, and if the people on the way
don't speak to you then you needn't
pay for the melon"
The judge first met a dignifed
matron, who said with faint smile: !.
'Ah. luxuries today, judge!"
At the next crossing a minister ex-
claimed:
"Am I invited to dine with you, to-
day?"
On Pine street German said:
"lsh you going TO be bolite alraty,
judge, und divide nit me?"
On Elm street Frenchman bowed
gracefully: "Ah, re meelon!"
At the corner of Main and Jackson
streets loud voice called:
"Lor' now, judge, doan' ye done

A GLIMPSE OF BETTER DAYS.
He Had Been in Jail, But His Heart Was
Touched by Kindness.

He was ragged and thinly clad and
he stood in front of the Columbia the
ater, gazing at the hurrying, jostling
throng of well-fed people who passed
him by.
Nobody gave him a thought-not
even glance-until one charitable in
dividual, whose purse was still pie
thoric, and who looked at the fellow
with something like pity in his eyes,
addressed him:
"Will you join US in a -?"
"Yes, thanks" was the quick re-
sponse before the speaker had time to
finish his sentence. 81 haven't had a
bracer for several days"
"Join me at dinner, was about to
remark when you interrupted" con-
tinued the charitably inclined individ-
ual.
"Do you want to throw me into a
trancep" was the astonished interroga-
ton.
The fellow looked bewildered and
closed his eyes several times, and
pinched himself to see whether he was
really awake. 1t was almost more
than he could realize, but finally an
expression of pleasure swept over his
countenance and he exclaimed:
"I'H go you"
And he did. He was taken to 8
French restaurant in Monroe street.
The bill of fare dazzled him. He was
also surprised when he read "Dinner
ST." on the menu card. He ordered
consomme and Columbia river salmon
for his first course. He devoured bott
the soup and fish like starved man
Then he ordered turkey and cranberry
sauce, roast chicken, loin of beef rare
sweetbreads, and, in fact, the whole
bill of fare.
".This is the first time I have had al
I wanted to eat for months" said he
as he rapturously partook of the din
ner.
"Why am I in such hard lines?" h'
said, in answer to question. "Pl
tell you. have been fool all M
life-I've thrown away scores of goot
chances. Now, I'm in the gutter, ant
you're the first man that has done m
a good action in years. I've been il

cency left in me I'm going to swea
off and pull myself together"

and luxury, has the satisfaction c
knowing that for one hour, at least
he made a fellow human being happy

A ChangeabIe water Mark.

Two Americans who were dining at
tables in front of cafe in Paris, near
the Seine, noticed high up on the front
wall of a building red mark, and
underneath it this inscription: ''In-
undation of 1875. High-water mark. +"
"Come! come!" said one of the Ameri-
cans to the restaurant keeper; ''you
don't expect US to believe that the
river ever rose as high as that?" ''Oh,
no." said the proprietor, bland1y; sit
only came up to here" He made a
sort of scratch with his thumb nail
down near the ground. But, you see,
when the mark was down there the
children rubbed it out so continually
that we had to put it up there out of
their reach.''

A Bright Lad.

There is one Belfast (Me.) youth who
will make general some day, if he
properly develops his natural traits as
they appear at present. He is but three
years and eight months old, but showed
engineering skill in getting out of a
scrape last week that few big boys
would have equaled. While at play in
camp with some other boys he was ac-
cidentally locked in, and his comrades
all went off to school. Finding himself
prisoner, instead of sitting down and cry
ing our youngster first built up the arti-
cles in the room until he could reach
a window, which he promptly smashed.
Next he threw out the various articles
which he could lift until the pile out
side was within safe dropping distance
from the window, when he climbed out
and dropped to the pile. He was near
ly two hours doing the work, but says
he wasn't going to take any chances of
breaking his neck by jumping from that

A WATCH THAT TALKS.
It Is So Made That It Speaks the Rour1
Instead of Striking Them.

It Is So Made That It Speaks the Hours
Instead of Striking Them.
It is said a matchmaker of Geneva,
Switzerland, has just completed a watch
which, instead of striking the hours and
quarters, announces them by speaking
like the phonograph. The mechanism
of the watch is based on photographic
conditions, the bottom of the case con-
tanning photographic sensitive plate
which has received the impression of the
human voice before being inserted IN
the watch.
The disk, according to the jewelers.
Circular, has forty-eight concentric
grooves, of which twelve repeat the
hours, twelve those of the hours and
quarters, and twelve more those of the
hours and second and third quarters.
If the hand on the dial shows the time
to be 1915 o'clock, one of the fine
needle points of the mechanism crosses
the corresponding groove and the disk,
which turns simultaneously, calls out
the time, just as the photographic cyl
inder. The lower lid of the case is pro-
vided with tiny mouthpiece, and when
the watch is held to the ear the sound

LOST A SQUARE MEAL.
No Wonder the Little Street Arab Was
STEPPED in Woe.

A newspaper man crossing City Hail
park about a. m. in chill October
morning was arrested by sobs coming
from bundle of rags curled up on one
of the benches. The gentlemen who
usually occupy these reserved seats
had all sought the warmth of the po-
lice stations, and wondering what kind
of tramp it was that had been hardy
enough to remain, the N. Y. ITi6u1ae
reporter inspected the sobber, whom
he found to be small boy.
"What are you crying for, sonnyP"
was asked; but only sobs came for
answer.
whats the matter, my lad?"
"Nothinm he blurted out.
"Street boys don't cry for nothing"
said the reporter, who knew the breed
well. HAS some one been humping
you?"
"Well, guess not" said the little
man, Indignantly, sitting up and dry
ing his eyes, at the bare suggestion.
"Come, now, I'll believe that was it,
If you don't tell the truth. What's
the trouble?"
"De hardest kind o. luck" answered
the urchin, "I'd been pitchin' pennies
and lost almost all my pile to begin
with; so l couldn't pay for lodgin'
and have anything left over to buy a
stock O. papers in de mornin' I
walked about till got tired and den I
sat down here an fell asleep. I was
mighty hungry, tell you, and began
to dream of grub. I dreamed that I
was lookin' in at the window of coffee
and cake saloon, watchin' the big cook
in white coat and cap brownin' sink
ers on his little iron platform, with
gas underneath, and a fryin' his
wheats; when fine lookin' gentleman
comes up behind me and says: Come
right in with me, sonny, and we'll have

and he pulls out big wad O. bills and

"'Beg pardon, sais de waiter, when
he sees de roll. Perhaps de boy will
take de steak an onions den?'
"'The boy can have it if he wants
ter, says me friend, but I was goin'
to order roast duck stuffed with mush-
rooms for two. Which would you
rather have. sonnyP' says he.
well, I'd tasted steak once before,
but roast duck l never tasted, SO I said
I'd take duck, too, and de waiter car
ried de steak off. He was long time
bringin' that duck, a mighty long
time, and before he got back woke
up" and the newsboy's sobs broke out
afresh.
swell, what is there to cry aboutP"
asked the reporter.
"If hadn't been so hanged particu-
lar, coulda eaten dat steak an onions
before woke up, couldn't l?" retorted
the lad angrily; "and now I'll never
get chance at another" and he wept
again.
The touching disappointment seemed
SO odd to the reporter that he straight
way provided the dreamer with the
price of a small steak.
