GREATNESS AND GREATNESS.

Robertson's boot and shoe house, New Milford will demonstrate the difference between a cheap article and an article cheap. Perhaps on no one article is this distinction of more importance to the purchaser than 1t is on footwear. A cheap looking shoe abstracts from mans whole appearance, no matter how taste- fully and expensively he may be dressed in other respects. On the other hand a neat and we'll fitted pair of boots gives dressy and finished appearance to an otherwise shabbily dressed person. Robertson's Is a store where 1t Is abso- lutely impossible to buy any of the trashy sort of footwear that is so prevalent in these days of "cheapness" but the re- liable kinds are to be had there at prices, which in many cases, are even lower than those charged elsewhere for the worthless article. Buying for spot cash and taking advantage of every discount enables them to underbuy and to under sell

A RIVAL PARADISE.

Poulteney Bigelow, in recent
issue of the New York Times,
gives an intensely interesting de-
scription of British Guiana. He
makes references to the Monroe
doctrine and theVenezuelan boun-
dairy question, which are rather
important as coming from a ia
Tented and Travelled American citi-
zen. There is much in his re-
marks that will suggest compari-
sons between the little country
he writes about and Hawaii.
When he first stepped ashore in
British Guiana it seemed as if he
had come into fairyland." The
6rst questions asked were about
the price of sugar, which will sug.
gest to our readers the arrival of
steamer at Honolulu from the
Coast.
Mr.. Bigelow found at George
town, the capital of the country, a
most excellent hotel, club. house
equal for it's comforts to any in
New York, a library, a museum of
rare value, and a beautiful botan-
ical garden, in which the citizens
stroll in the cool of the evening
There were many carriages to be
seen, bearing well-dressed ladies
and gentlemen-aIl white people.
at is a cosmopolitan colony"
he says, where all corners enjoy
the protection of equal laws. The
Englishman Of Demerara differs
from the American colonist only
that the Americans can reap all
the benefits of trade and need share
none of the burdens Of govern
ing" He visited the criminal
court, where justice was
dispensed by an English Judge,
assisted by full-blooded negro
clerk, and says it would be diff
cult to name a criminal court in
the city of New York where the
administration of justice proceed
cd with so much dignity and dis
patch as in this little out-of-the-
way colony, only Il few degrees
from the equator. There were in
she colony, according to Mr.. Bige-
lows recollection, about 800 900
solored people to 10000 whites.
The problem of the whites is to
govern this colony without SOL
diers, with few police, with the
smallest possible expense. Sc
lab Mr.. Bgelow proceeds;

that is capable Of solving the
questions which each day are

Timely Topics
ADDRESSED TO THE YOUNG
MAN WHO WANTS
A TANDEM.

Young man, you will do
we'll to wait until you see the
Tribune Tandems, which will
be the finest manufactured,
embodying all the latest i'm
provements up to 1896. Don't
be deceived into buying a lot
of Stearns' yellow Fellows"
that are back numbers and
were manufactured in 1894
and sold on the western shores
in 1895 as up to date, when
they are not. We have reason
to believe and are so informed
by reliable San Francisco agents
that the "Stearns" wheels that
have been imported and placed
on sale here are not of the lat
est pattern, and hence caution
would-be purchasers to look
out for themselves and not be
deceived into buying an anti
quated wheel.
One of the largest dealers in
bicycles in the United States
furnishes us with the following
information in regard to the
"Stearns' wheel for publica-
ton:
This is a wheel that, owing
to the nice finish and the fact
that they were the first to get
out an adjustable handle bar,
took quite a squirt, but we have
known of many cases where
they have not given SatiSfac-
ton. The writer in October,
1894, bought a 'Stearns' wheel
that was badly out of order in
December. He sold it to a
friend of his and it has been
the cause of complaint con-
stantly since. AT the same
time two "StearnS" ladies'
wheels were purchased, and
they have been a source of ex-
pense and annoyance ever
since, until the two ladies own
ing them sold them at a Sacri-
flee and bought Tribunes, and
they claim that the Tribune
wheel is far superior to the
Stearns.
These facts speak for them
selves. We ask any intending
purchaser to take one of the
Stearns wheels to any tirst-class
mechanic and have him take it
apart and compare it with the
corresponding features of the
Tribune wheel. We know that
an honest opinion would be
that the Tribune is by far the
better wheel and hence make
the challenge.
We have some Tribune Tan
demS on the way here direct
from the factory. The reason
we did not get them on the
Australia was because they
were not finished. Everybody
remembers Punch's advice to
people about to get married,
which was Don't" We give
the same advice to those about
to purchase a Stearns tandem
or single wheel. Call and ex-
anime the Tribunes; they are
far superior in every respect
and won't eat up your wages
in repairs.
We have ten boys and girls
wheels for Christmas, and we
intend to sell every one of
them.
