Some Advice About Sales.

plenty of time, patience and printers

way you may suggest. We would adj
wise liberal amount used in THE

attention; then we can get you up a
neat sale poster to tack up in stores or

enough to command notice. This year
you will find our prices lower than
ever. A call or card through the

bring a prompt reply.

What's the Matter With HANNAH

Well, some say Hanna will have a
walk-over, and that Foraker and
Bushnell will not fight the National
Chairman in his desire to go to the
United States Senate. There is. how
ever, avery decided sentiment against
the only Mark in the State of Ohio
The boys are literally spelling for a
fight, and one word from Bushnell will
upset all the calculations of the mighty
Mark. Sherman was induced to make
way for the old man and he did things
up in royal style. We do not see why
he should not be gratified-hy all
means send Mark to the Senate.
Things are going to be lively this adj
ministration. Look out for squalls.

A touching story of dogs fondness
for his young master comes from ST.

know the boys parents. Little Ernest
Wilcox and his pet St. Bernard were in
;eparable companions. They often went
swimming together, for Rover, the

few weeks ago Ernest was stricken
with typhoid fever, and, after lingering
for many days under the most careful

A peculiar result Of stroke of light
ming was noted near Dion. France, in
the summer of 1893. A flash of light
hing was seen to strike a fish pond,
and an investigation made imme-
ntately after the storm had subsided
proved that every fish in the little lake
had been killed. This is one Of the
very few recorded instances Of light
ming striking fresh water.

Then the boys separate in big circle,
