When he reached here he made his
presence known to the yardmen at East

finemsnt and was hardly able to take

The only place where you can get

torn or has worn into unsightly
holes does not, what is done in
three cases out of four, but the
most natural thing. which is,
destroy it. The cause of this sort
of wastefulness heretofere-an ex-
cuse which never can be urged
again-has been entirely due to
the trouble and expense of having
a new cover put on the old frame.
No one thinks of the umbrella
until it is needed, the holes in itare
only remembered when it rains.
But if the careful owner gives heed
to its condition the trouble of find
ing a reliable repairer and the
usual cost of the job are such as to
deter one from a repetition of the
experiment. The average travel
ing umbrella mender is the most
monumental Of delusions, his work
is only too apt to leave the umber-
ella much the worse for his atten-
ton.
In our patent adjustable umbrella
cover we have an invention that
forever removes all excuse for this
waste of good handles and frames
and does SO lin a practical, direct
way that cannot fail to commend
itself to the most eXacting. Tkis
cover is so constructed of such
sizes, shapes and qualities that no
matter what the frame nor what

can adjust it in few minutes and

met with such immediate success
as has this adjustable cover OF
which we have the sole agency

PAY
ENOUGH

Some people are to anxious to save when
buying q watch, thinking that cheap watch
will do as well as good one and that all the
difference in watches is the price. May be
that it required moral effort on your part
to pay us $40 for plain looking but honest
timekeeper, when somebody else generally
offers you gold watch for $3.50 and-just for
goodness sal1e-throws in a gold chain and
charm OF course it is all tame schwindlo,"
as the jew said when he went up in the hall
loon and couldn't find the silver lining of the
cloud. 1t happens every now and then that
person sends off for such agold watch, gets IT,
and then loses faith in watches and humanity
for ever and ever. We think it would pay
you to call on us and see If we have what you
want, and If we can't suit You at all out of n
large stock of watches, why-it is time enough
then to send out of town for $3.50 gold
watch.

shield themselves.

TRAIN ROBBERS FAIL.
A Santa Fe Passenger Train Dsrailed,
but the Plot Failed.


DENVER, Oct. II. Soon after mid.
night a bold attempt was made seven
miles sonth of Denver to wreck Santa
Fe passenger train for the purpose of
robbery, 1t is believed, Spikes were
pulled from the rails, and the engine,
baggage ear, coach. chair car and
sleeper ran off the ties. The damage
was triflIng, and no one was hurt. but
the track will be blocked five hours.
The ground for the robbery theory
is that man called at South Denver
early In the night, and intimated that
the train was to be wrecked and
robbed. Orders were given for 1t to
proceed slowly. but it was not supposed
that the attempt would be made 80
near the city, and the train was run
ming at speed Of eight miles an hour
There is yet no clue to the mlscreants.

with sufferers from habitual constipation,
piles and their attendant discomfort and
manifold arrangements. The Pellets"
are purely vegetable and perfectly harmless
in any condition of the system. No care is
required while using them; they do not
interfere with the diet habits or occupa-
ton, and produce no pain, gripping or shock
to the system. They act in mild, easy and
natural way and there is no reaction after
ward. Their help lasts.
The Pellets cure biliousness, sick and
bilious headache, dizziness, costiveness, or
constipation, sour stomach, loss of appetite,
coated tongue, indigestion, or dyspepsia,
windy belchings, heartburn" pain and
distress after eating, and kindred derange-
ments of the liver, stomach and bowels.
In proof of their superior excellence, it can
be truthfully said, that they are always
adopted as household remedy after the
first trial. Put up in sealed, glass walls,
therefore always fresh and reliable. One
little Pellet" is laxative, two are mildly
cathartic As a dinner pill, to promote
digestion, or to relieve distress from over
eating, take one after dinner They are

GRANDMOTHER Cloak.

Cut it and rip it, each daintest thread,
Many the years since the needle was sped,
Held by the fingers now nerveless and cold,
Pressing it, plating it, fold upon fold.
Smooth it out softly, in this latter day,
Fashion it deftly in quaint, modern way,
Tenderly touch it's soft surface Of brown.
Grandmother's cloak is her granddaughter's
gown.
See! I am dressed, with rose in my hair
Grandmother, dear do you know, do you
care?
Out of the far realms of silence and shade
Can you look down at the gown have made?
Can you remember when you too were young,
Setting the fashions the earth folks among?
Little you dreamed that your warm cloak of
brown
Years would turn into a granddaughter
gown.
Grandmother, grandmother, when you were
young,
Came to you ever, with hattering tongue,
One who bent low, with a smile, to compare
Soft damask cheeks to the rose in your hair
'Sweeter than roses in paradise grown?'
Did he go off with the rose as his own?
Waiting | stand, with u smile and frown,
Doubling and glad in my sweet modish gown.
What were the dearest of words ever said?
Were the skies bright on the day you were
wed?
Did all your fair, loving dreams come to pass
Ere you lay down under green growing grass2
Happy and faithful and tender and true!
May time be as gentle to me as to you,
And all homely virtues and graces come down,
Like sweet olden scents, for the granddaugh-
ter's gown.
