what shall we buyl" tbs sped by the children,
While hurriedly vending their way. to school;
The same question battles the blithe young reporter,
Who bangles his feet from the editors stool.
What shall we give them ?" fond parents asking,
While grown sons and daughters re-echo the starin.
And Edwin so eager to please Angelina
Though nearly distracted, still wonders in vain.
For all such inquirers we've settled the problem
By culng from home and each foreign mart,
The grandest collection both useful and novel,
Of Fancy Goods, China and rare works of art
For Boys there games real engines and steamboats,
For the younger ones books of Fairyand lore.
For Girls there are dressed does and tinkets,
And a 7velcome for all at tile famed Boston Store.

The means by which fly can creep
up pane Of glass or walk on ceiling
have long been the subject Of contention
among scientists, some claiming that
the fly foot is a sucker, others that ad-
hcsion is effected BY the aid Of visoous
fluid exuding from the foot, and others
again that the fly walks by means Of .
eAiary apparatus which answers the
purpose of q hook.

ST, PAUL STARTLED
By the Assignment by NJ. H. Kelly
Of His Personal Estate,
AND OF THE KELLY MERCANTILE CO.,
OF Which Mr.. Kelly Was the Head
The Assignee, w. B. Jordan, Of Miles
City, Says that All Claims
Win be Paid in Full.

estate John Meagher, of Mankato, be-
ing named as assignee, who has quail
lied in bonds of S300,O00 Mr..
kelly's interests are so large
that IL will take several davs
TO file a schedule. Failing
health and sickness of Mr.. Kelly are
stated as causes, and in addition IL Is
known that he has some extensive per-
sonal litigation which he desires to
terminate quickly and save his estate
to his family. The assets are said to
be fully large enough to meet all de-
mands. 1t tisnow conceded at the offices
OF the Kelly Mercantile Co. that an as
signment of the entire business is only q
question of few hours at best. The
concern is rated at half million dol
lars, and the assignment is merely a
protective measure to shield Mr..
kelly's interest, which are very heavy.
W. b. Jordan, Of Miles City, Mont, Is
ON the ground already to take charge
of the concern, and he states that all
demands will be paid in full.
LATERAL a meeting held at 2 p,
M, at which the several heads of the
Kelly Mercantile Co. were represented
II was decided to make an assignment
OF the entire business to W. B.
Jordan, of Miles City. Papers
were prepared and the deed OF
assignment filed. MIR. Jordan
accepted the trust. Schedules will be
prepared at once, although several
days must necessarily pass before they
can be completed, the law allowing
ten days for it. Assignee Jordan EN-.
phasized to the United Press that nc
one need be afraid, as all claims are u
