Wineland about some new duds.''
After Charles had fitted himself in a
neat suit, from the piles of fashionable
garments that cover the tables of this
extensively stocked establishment,
Uncle Josh declared Now you look

Now, in this connection | am happy
to inform you that the Frostburg
steam laundry, located on Mechanic

her lace curtains washed some time,
and it's a ticklish job, you know,
but this laundry is so very careful that
the most delicate fabrics are washed
without the slightest injury and at a
nominal cost, too. Mr.. A. S. Burton,
the proprietor, will see that your col

fectly lovely slipper" EYES," said
Uncle Josh, "Sulliyan & McGann's
stock can't be equaled in style and
