Did you ever read a sign on our principa
streets which was significant? did th.
other day. The sign read, cover

including all the novelties in ties, gloves
and head covering.
A well dressed man attracts as much at
tention as a well dressed woman, and il
matters not how fine the quality of goods
or the style and fit YOU must have the
furnishings with them. A becoming hat
a pair OF gloves, an umbrella or cane, ties
for street or evening wear, dress shirts,
| collars and cuffs, sleeve buttons, pins
hose, underwear, in fact everything which
| goes TO make up complete
wardrobe, is furnished by Mr..
| Leavens. Time has touched him
rather lightly, and as far as / can
see he has lost none of that natural man
| ner which stamps the true gentleman.
The old number / believe was IS, but time
and the city officials change numbers, so
that 96 Westminster street marks the old
stand where the particular gentry of
these plantations obtain that which is
suited to their varied tastes.

When the public makes up its mind
what 1t wants, then is the time those who
supply the demand come in for share
OF attention. 1 was thinking of this
the other day, last Tuesday ii l remem-
Der right, when l dropped into K. G.
thornton & Co.'s, the druggists, at the
corner OF Westminster and Brigham
streets. We got to talking about the fl
dration OF the city drinking water:
To my surprise the gentlemen did
not seem TO be especially interested
whether the water was filtered or not
The people were educated up TO the IDEA
that good spring water, absolutely pure
was preferable To any filtered water.
Then followed a short discussion regard
ing spring water. A spring for instance
situated In a swamp surrounded by stag
nant pools was not desirable. Observing
that the gentlemen were the agents of the
"Old Homestead" spring water, asked
where 1t was situated and was told at
Johnston and the name Of the spring was
Neutakonkanut. That must be Indian
word appear right in print i had one
of the gentlemen spell it. Some
Photographic views of this great spring
give an excellent idea of It's location.
NO swamp, no contaminating pools,
no chance for suspicion that it Is any
thing else but what it is represented, on
hard, rough, hilly ground as wild as
/" Old Homestead spring, of which Den |
as Uncle Josh, would say some |
pretty cute things. Three gallons of the |
water may be obtained for 20 cents, with |
the assurance OF Edwin r. Calder, who |
analysed it and then said, 81 regard it |
perfectly peri dy suited for drinking purposes"
The "Old Homestead " spring water is
bound TO become popular. II is a sug-
gestiye and significant name, and, as
Colonel Sellers remarked about his famous
eye water, "No family should be with
out it,"
Decoration Day. Beautiful custom.

~ cry year the ranks grow thinner. Let
as hope, however, that the membrance

gain strength as the years roll by. The
average age of the old soldier Is now 81
years. In 10 years how many will join the
great majority?
)f success? Well. that depends to
great extent upon circumstances. DO
you believe in luck? asks one. do, replies
another, while the third admits that he
ioes not. Which sright? IL my opinion
, worth anything believe that the word
uck is misnomer aud that man makes

Taking advantage OF opportunity
md applying the ripening process OF
is usually very potent. For
Instance: On the corner OF Fountain and
Dean streets when was in Providence be-
ore there was large sale stable. Lewis
=. faies, an old u. n. A. boy by the way,
ook advantage OF the opportunity pre-
ented and today he has transformed the
building into mammoth carriage repos-
tory and made a splendid place for
he putting in order of vehicles of
III kinds, besides manufacturing and
laving for sale various styles OF fine car
Jages, wagons and business conveyances.
