CARPE IT'S
1t
ABSOLUTE
COST.

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 indulgerce ce in
sensational head lines or extravAgaDt
boasting, but =" 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.
"There 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 part
with your bottom dollar, if needs be,
in Carpet investment. Just think
of it: An elegant Brussels Carpet at
but a trifie more cost than an Ingram,
Our Moquettes, Art Squares, Rugs
Mattings, Oil Cloths and Linoleums
are all dumped in the cost hopper.
These prices necessitate strictly cash
sales. Respectfully,

Absent-minded Neander.

Neander, professor of theology in
Berlin was one day overtaken by a
thunderstorm. He jumped into cab
but could not give either the number
of his house or the name of the street.
The driver thought the man was mad,
and was about to tell him to get out,
when the Professor, ,espying a student,
called out to him and said: "Just tell
the man where l live"
Neander's sister, who kept house for
him, took fresh apartments, nearer the
university,as she thought the distance
too great for her brother. A few days
after their removal he complained of
the long and firing walk, and it then
turned out that he had always gone
first to the old lodgings, and SO round
to the university Cbronik der Zeit.

In the Old Days of Crino1ine

Apropos of possible crinoline, wo-
man tells this of the old days OF
~cages": "a man-an artist and q
very shy person-walked out with the
woman he delighted to honor and
asked her to marry him. In stepping g
closer to her, as the occasion seemed
to demand, early in the walk he got
his foot through her large and expan-
sive hoop and was too modest to make
any attempt to remove it. She was
equally timid, so they took their walk,
settled matters (she consenting), and
came home with his foot still held in
her hoop. History does not state, "
finished the relator, show it was finally
removed; l only know that the story
is true and the pair today are old mar
ried lovers %

HE PLAYED THE GAME.

Rosaie is pretty, altogether charm
ing and just turned of IS. She has
only recently married an awfully nice
fellow who is disgustingly rich and en-
tirely devoted to her. The only weak
ness he possesses in the world, so far
as is known to his friends, is an incli-
nation to indulge in quiet game Of
"draw" on Saturday nights, says the
N. Y. Recorder.
One Sunday morning, not long since,
Rosalie was sitting on her husbands
knee in the library after late break
him, after the fashion of the Dora Cop
perfield brides, when suddenly a
thought struck her. Nothing less than
o new spring bonnet could have pro-
duced such concussion. She there
fore set the momentous matter before
her lord in due form and with seduct-
i've accents.
"Yes-oh, yes," blandly assented the
enslaved spouse. "Why-of course!
How much did you say you wanted,
dearp"
She named sum which would am
ply cover such a handful of lace, jew
els, flowers and ribbon as she desired
and he requested her to bring him. his
check book. She ran across the room
to obtain the very necessary little vol
ume. 1t was hidden away in his desk
drawer and in her researches she hap
pened accidentally upon lot of blue,
red and white disks which cluttered
up the interior thereof.
"Oh, darling!" she cried, with laugh
ing innocence, "you play tiddle-de-
winks, don't youp"
"Why-why, yes, dear-nice game, :"
he stammered. "I'm very fond of it,
dote upon it, in fact. The fellows at
our club play it every Saturday night,
don't you know!"
"And it is very exciting, Isuppose, :"
she persisted.
"Oh, awfully! Men lose their heads
over. tiddle-de-winks every day! How
much did you say you needed, love?"
And he proceeded to double the
amount then and there.

apparently looking for something.
Then he disappeared through the door.
The porter made up the berth and al
ranged the curtains. It was the first
berth to be made up.
Presently old st. Lawrence, as we
called him, appeared at the end of the
car with pile of clothes hanging over
one arm, his boots in one hand, his
collar and socks in the other. He had
nothing on but gray flannel night

Everybody roared. His feet were
bare and we could see the snow melt

his curtains and remained silent for q
few seconds. Then his head appeared
between the curtains.

porter, 'I'll be gosh burned if this COM

the porter.

AN ADVENTURE UNDERGROUND.
Science to the Aid of the Imprisoned
Men.


Recently six laborers who were work
ing in great clay pit near Chateau
dun, in France, were overwhelmed by
the caving in of the pit. A great mass
of earth had fallen in upon them. No
one connected with the work believed
that their lives could be saved; they
were simply somewhere in the midst
of vast deposit of clayey earth, and
must already, it was said, be smoth-
cred.
Nevertheless, the aid of science was
invoked. Not very far away was Yer
gineer and a little corps of sappers
were brought at once.
The engineer ascertained as nearly
as he could the spot where the clay
workers must have been when they
were overwhelmed, and using his
technical knowledge in calculating g
distances, drove long tube cautious
ly in the direction of this spot.
Crouched in little air space be-
meath couple of timbers the six clay
miners, all still alive, heard the dull
sound of the blows upon the cylinder,
and knew that an effort was being
made to save them. This buoyed them
up, though they were nearly suffo-
Gated.
Al last the sound of the blows came
nearer and nearer. They seemed to
be struck in the clay itself not far
away. The men had with them a bit
of candle. They lighted it. and by it's
light, Pickering family in the foul air,
revealed strange object entering, in
little jerks of a quarter of an inch
each, their place of refuge.
1t was the capped head of the tube.
The engineer had calculated with such
nicely that he had struck the very
spot where the miners were crouch
ing. One of the men sprang at the
tube and knocked off the cap with his
pick. Then he put his mouth to the
tube and shouted as loud as he could.
The sappers at the other end heard
what seemed faint wall from the
bowels of the earth. They stopped
their pounding and shouted through
the tube in their turn.
"Helloi" the engineer called. "How
are you?"
"We're all right" the voice came
from the pit.
"Have you anything to eat?"
"Not thing"
"Can you breathe?"
"Yes, through this tube"
"Have you lightP"
"About an inch of candle"
"What would you like to eat-milk

"Bouillon!n cried the voice eagerly.

midnight! We thought it was noon
the next day"
The miners were asked what they
had been doing, and said that they
had been playing "jackstones" with
pebbles.
The sappers had now but to follow
the tube with their digging opera
tions, and in due time they reached
the imprisoned miners and restored
them to daylight and the open air

Slaves from Labrador.

The fact that the slave trade once
extended far north on this continent is
written upon the map in the name
Labrador. This name was given to
the inhospitable coast of the far North
west by early Portuguese navigators,
who were much impressed with the
strength and endurance of the labor
ers whom they kidnapped there and
carried off into slavery.
