to little further personal decoration, would

near the other corner, have reputation of
being in a position to furnish the good
dressers of this county with gents furnish

But look here, Charley" continued Uncle
Josh. edo not understand Inc to say that

After this visit. Uncle Josh suggested a
resort to some place of refreshment. AT the
table the old man waxed philosophical.
"Never neglect Your larder,'' said he.
THAT important adjunct to housekeeping
controls masculine temper. To that end
you must patronize a grocer on whom you
can depend for honest goods. Through a
long term of years / have found Swift &
Paul perfectly reliable. You will find them
careful dealers, always fully stocked with
every possible thing in the line of staple and
fancy groceries, fresh and tirst-class no
shelf-worn goods there, while the prices are
down to brass tacks To keep peace in this
family get all your groceries of Swift &
Paul.
"By Jove,' interrupted Charley, lone
thing suggests another right along, don't it :?
You spoke about getting some paint and
hardware a little while ago That's
right, and I've got the very place right in
my eye," replied Uncle Josh. That's AL
bert G. Burgess hardware store. / know of
no one who keeps better or bigger stock of
paint and builders hardware than Burgess
and the beauty of it is he don't want all the
money felers got, either. He sells paint,
and l tell you it's the boss article" While
the old gentleman was selecting paints,
Charley turned his attention to builders

speciality of 'em; and prices, we'll, if
any body thinks they can undersell Hall,
I'd just like to see the color of their hair
He furnishes about all the mantles and tile
ing that is furnished around these parts" 1t
took Polly only about twenty minutes to
tell c. B. Hall what she liked best, and
Uncle Josh wrote out cheque on the spot.
The appearance of Polly s home was ncreas-
ed at least fifty per cent. by the elegant
mantles and tileings she ordered.
"By the way" exclaimed Uncle Josh,
with a paternal air, "its strange how one
thing suggests another. The next thing to
look after is the lumber for those improve
ments which are absolutely necessary.
Come with me and I'll introduce you to
Cooper Co., who are the principal dealers
in that line here. They carry the most COM
plete line of long and short building material
in the country-everything, from the stills
for the foundation to the shingles for the
roof. 1t is pleasant to deal with Cooper &
Co., for their greatest aim is to give satisfac-
ton to every customer, and just happen to
think that they make speciality Of ladders
