Mrs. Rameses Smith is a woman Of
ancient lineage who lives on the South

Therefore, when she announced that
her sister from Lansing was visiting
her, we were prepared to be dazzled.

LADY OR CONDUCTOR.
1t Was an Open Question as to which
Was Duped by the Male
Passenger.

The conductor on Madison street
cable had taken up the fares and was
posing on his end of the car when a
man approached him, and, poin ting to
a woman in one of the front seats,
asked:
See that womanT
YES" answered the official, in the
customary surly tone. what Of
her?"
"I'll bet you a dollar that If you
ask her for her fare again she'll pay
it,
Not much! It's hard work to get
one fare out of women passengers, let
alone two"

The conductor looked uneasy. I'D
get fred" he said, land lose my job.
The woman would report me-"
"No, she wouldn't. That woman is
my wife, and | want to get off joke
on her, she's so absent-minded. Go
ahead and win the bet"
"All right" said the conductor, and
as he passed through the car he
stopped in front of the passenger and
held out his hand.
"Fare, please"
He had an apology on the tip of his
tongue, but after one glance at him
the woman said ''Oh," and opening her
pocketbook produced nickel, which
she laid in his hand. He went back
to the man who had prompted him and
said: There! I've won the bet"
III bet you a dollar that you can
collect fare third time," said the
man.
The blood of the conductor was up.
II never take a dare" he said, "but if
YOU weren't her husband I'd see you
further before I'd risk her catching me
at it,
He waited until the cars had gone
en- six blocks further and some new
passengers boarded them, when he
collected their fare and held out his
hand to the absent-minded woman.
Fare, please"
She looked at him in dazed way.
Haven't l paid my fare? Why. how
funny" and searching in her pocket
book she found another nickel and
gave it to him.
Wiring the perspiration from his
hardened brow, the conductor went
back to the man on the platform.
"Give these to your wife," he said; II
haven't any right to them" and he
laid two nickels in the mans hand,
land I'll take my two dollars"
But he didn't. The man swung him.

Borne as soldiers bear;
Called in camp, on battle plain,
Called to do and dare.
Stars are thine. romotion high.
Warrior, thou hast won
Stars above the star-lit sky,
And the word well doner'
What though ruined lies thy tent
On the camping ground.
Angel sentries, earthward sent.
Guard their ceaseless round.
Rest beneath thy banner. rest.

Soon shall come the call 'Ariser'

Sound thy reville.

THE LADIES OF WHEELING

Know a Good Thing When They See 1t.
Notwithstanding the Many Rumors In
Regard to the Premium Stamp Stores.
A beautiful line of goods is the re-
mark of all who now visit the Premium
Stamp Store, at 20 Eleventh street.
Holiday goods are just coming in and
those collecting stamps will be the
benefactors. Silverware, Vases, Beds,
Tables, Pictures, Looking Glasses,
Chinaware, and almost everything you
can imagine in great variety. Last
year it was rumored that we would
leave town. Such rumors have been
set going on by jealous merchants ever
since we have been here. But we have
proven the lie by still doing business at
the old stand. If any one tells you it
is not worth while saving stamps, call
and examine our stock and be con-
WINGED to the contrary.

PEOPLE KNOW A GOOD THING
And They Are Not Slow to Take Advant-
age oft.

And They Are Not Slow to Take Advant-
age oft.
The experience of past seasons has
taught the public that absolute conf
dence can be placed in the representa-
lions of Shelf Bros, and that when
goods are purchased of that firm the
articles are certain to be good and the
prices almost invariably lower than
are charged elsewhere. Shelf Bros.
never claim, for example, to sell $3.50
watch for $50, but do claim-and in
every instance they substantiate the
claim-that a watch which they sell
for $50 cannot be bought lower any
where.
Shelf Bros. are making special prices
this week in order to induce customers
to buy early and save the mutual in
convenience of the rushes on the few
days preceding Christmas. A COM
parison of goods and prices will satisfy
any person that Shelf Bros have made
a bona fide cut This is good thing
for Christmas buyers, and the best
evidence that they are taking advant-
age of it is the fact that the firm last
week laid away several thousands of
dollars worth of watches and diamonds
bought for holiday presents.
Wisdom and economy would seem to
point the way to early selections at
Shelf Bros, upon which only a small
deposit is required by the firm.
