SAM GARLAND WAS ALERT.
He Read the Papers and Could Not BE
Bupkoed by Nephew.


The train was nearing Detroit when at
a way station young man, dressed In the
height of fashion and carrying summer
Oycrcoat, stepped on board and went
through the cars as If locking for some
one. Tic stopped cncc or twice ut seat
occupied Ivy % IA MGR looking man who at
tractcd his attention. Finally he asked po-
litcly:

years not to hev my eyeteeth cut And
mint got nevvy that locks sech a dude as

The young man colored, but laughed
good naturedly:
Il can find some one on the train who

other car he soon returned with youth
who was Of his own age and style

The two young men went off laughing,
and the nephew, who had been taken so
persistently for confidence man, had the
satisfaction of seeing his uncle take the

Notwithstanding the fact
that we are receiving new
goods by nearly every steamer

States and from England, we
do sometimes get out of certain
lines of goods that are much
needed. We want our inquir-
ing friends to know that we
have just received probably
the finest assortment of
Deg Collars and PadlOcks
ever offered here. In one lot
we had over SIXTY DOZEN, of all
sizes and kinds. We can fit
the largest watch dog or the
smallest japanese pug.
Those friends who have
asked so many times for Razor
Strops will be glad to know
that we have just received a
new supply Of the celebrated
Reppenhagen Razor StrOps.
We have several other kinds,
all good. Our assortment of
Razors is full, having just re-
ceived a new lot.
We receive fresh
Ammunition
every month, and can supply
all kinds needed. Rifles, Shot
Guns and Revolvers always on
hand.
That new lot of
Score Books
has just arrived.
Also a fresh lot of
Cottage Paints,
Enamel Paints, Varnishes, Oils
and Brushes Of all kinds.
We have sold thousands OF
feet of
Rubber Garden Hose
lately and expect soon another
large lot running from J inch
to II inches. Also steam hose.
The demand for
Galvanized Water Pipe
is constant and we keep on
hand all sizes from J inch to ?
