The little naked-legged, sboeless

But his companions Irish pride rose

"Don't YOU" was the remark; "he'll
just be fooling you in England. He's a

When the soldier boy, still in camp,
came home on two-days' furlough
his blithe sister scared up a tin plate
somewhere. which she set a his place
at the table with q tin cup beside ii.
She wanted to have it look natural,
she said. And the soldier boy laughed,
and said the plate was all right but he
didn't want to drink out of tin cup.
The basis Of this feeling could not even
be guessed by the boys father, who
had himselfin other days carried a tin
cup tied to a hayersack; but he didn't
ask about it, nor did anybody else.
They gave the boy a china cup, as
they would have given him anything
else they had for the mere asking.
And before the food was brought the
blithe sister removed the tin plate
and substituted fer it the best china
plate that the house contained. And
then they fed him Cn the fatted calf

conspicuous part in the ceremony.
Suddenly the painted mass OF steel

TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS FINE
For Wearing N Calico Dress and 500
Penalty for Selling
the Goods.

IL il n singular fact, but none the less
true, that in England in the year l700woTlen
were not allowed to wear calico dresses at
all, and In l72l penalty or fine OF 50 was
laid upon the wearer, and the unfortunate
dealer who sold calico in those days had to
pay a penalty of 500 for the ofiense. 1t
Il hardly necessary to say that no one of
them ever undertook to sell more than one
dress pattern. The women of this country
may bless their lucky stars that nothing
has ever interfered with their privilege TO
buy and wear calico TO their hearts con-
tent. Moreover, they can be thankful that
they are able 10 purchase the best quality
the world produces righthere at home. The
goods OF enc firm are especially sought after
by both consumers and dealers and their
recognized superiority is assured when the
name William Simpson e. Sons is found on
the ticket. At least that is what the ladies and
the storekeepers say. and they oughtto know.
