THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

Should or should not o woman whistle
Does IL tend TO strengthen the lungs or IN
any way eradicate possible tell tale
wrinklef To tell you the truth i don't
know whether 1t does or not. 1t always
seems little hoydenish and chic to
observe q member OF the gentler sex
pucker her lips preparatory to whistling.
OF course IL makes a difference pos
sibly as TO the age OF the whistler, but in
any event whistle TO be properly appre-
| ciated must have n motive, an object in
view beforehand. Mrs. Shaw, the profess
sional lady whistler, is the only person
who really makes any money by whistiing
| for it, There are lots OF people who have
been told TO whistle for their money, but
none of them have retired with a pair of
| scissors in one hand and some government
bonds in the other.
"Wetting the whistle" is popular
-prohibitory phrase the needing OF
which has tendency TO befuddle the in
| tellect. The other morning arose at the
beastly unreasonable hour of $3.50 O'Clock
To indulge in car ride down as far
as Pawtuxet. 1t was a delightful trip
but for the fact Of boy who was
whistling in a half deranged manner
about The Man Who Broke the Bank at
Monte Carlo" That was in the morn
night a belated pedestrian is whistling
the same tune as these lines are being
knit together, and to cap the climax j
find myself entering into discussion OF
the subject with the reader whose pardon
l humbly ask.
Where do you buy your hat? At hat
store. Where do you buy your fruit? AT
fruit store. Certainly. Very proper.
Now where do you buy your gloves? At
j. A. Wolf & Co.'s glove store. Why?
Because you obtain highest quality for
lowest price. Your gloves are kept in re-
pair free of charge, and once q customer
you continue as such.
| have known Mr.. Benno Wolf, the
father OF the son whose name is men
toned, for many years and the acquaint-
ance has been very pleasant. He is a
shrewd business man and, like the gloves
his son deals in, is right on hand when
called upon to cater To the particular
class of trade which has been his patron
for years. Not alone gloves in all the
delicate shades TO suit the varied tastes of
the large number of customers who con-
tinue to patronize the obliging son may
be readily obtainable, but hosiery and
underwear, The corps OF handsome lady
clerks are always willing to assist the
hesitating customer in selecting.
There is nothing like q we'll fitting glove
Tor either lady or gentleman's wear to add
TO the finishing touch of fashionable
wardrobe. In season and out OF season
gloves in all lengths and shades, with
prices to suit the contents OF any pocket
book, may be obtained at the we'll
appointed repository OF ladies' belongings
in the Hotel Dorrance block, j. A. Wolf
d Co.'S.
There is a difference between a fire.
cracker and soda cracker.
A sky rocket goes up, but the stick
comes down.
A Roman candle spreads more light than
q roaming candle.
A torpedo with no snap to it Is de-
cided failure.
1t is funny how cannon goes off and
yet remains where il is.
tUcKJHw may be superfnduCgd by hold
ing giant powder cracker between the
teeth.
"The eyes have it on the question as
to whether the pistol was loaded.
j was talking with the senior partner of
A. ii. King * Co., the Weybosset street
fruit dealers, who every year carry large
side line of Fourth Of July celebration
goods. 81 can remember the time," said
Mr.. King, "when / gave the people of
Providence their regular Fourth OF July
fireworks over on Exchange bridge and
the other side of the cove promenade for
s125, and besides satisfying the people
made little money"
recollect the time, along in $50 and TO-
But let that pass.
What / wish to impress the reader with
is the fact that A. ii. King d Co. have
made special effort to serve their patrons
this year with all the leading novelties in
the way of celebration goods. To emu
merate q few there are colored exhibition
rockets Of all sizes from one ounce to six
pounds. Prismatic dragon rockets, cas-
cade rockets, peacock piumes rockets, |
colored vertical wheels, geysers, gyrating
serpent mines, electric shower mines, |
dragon nests, devil among the tailors and
wizard candles.
