Picture Sale!
CHRISTMAS STOCK.
Our Store is now Packed with
New and Seasonable Goods.


We offer you this season the
largest and finest line of Art Pic
lures and Medallions we have
ever shown. Our great success
upon this line of goods last sea-
son has induced us to largely
increase and improve our'line for
this year. We have spared no
pains or expense in securing
the most artistic and desirable
subjects collected from various
sources, and CLEANED from
amongst the newest and most
attractive pictures in the country.
There is something born within
the soul of every human being
which inspires him to make his
home beautiful and attractive by
means of decorative pictures.
Even the savage, in his crude
way, feels moved by an irresisti,
BILE interest to paint upon the
walls of his hut, grotesque decor
atoms, which, no doubt to his
eye, are looked upon as car" "
In this day and age of intelli-
gence and refinement there is
nothing too elevated for our edu-
Gated senses-and through the
wonderful facilities of economical
production now existing, there is
scarcely anything in the way OF
art ornamentation that is not
within the reach of the humblest
artisan.
In our selections for this season
we have endeavored to suit both
the poeket-book as we'll as the
tastes of the most fastidious
critics.

soonest goods that it has ever been

Reflections of n Bachelor.

No girl is really too fat till her
cheeks shake when she walks.
There never was woman in the
case that man didn't get in it first.
Most of the men who live double
lives do it because they lead single
ones.
A pessimist is man who goes
through life signing because if he
should whistle he is afraid it would
oyerwork his diaphragm,
A woman knows more than her
husband when she knows enough
to make him think she thinks he
knows more than she does.

Prosperity That Prospers the
People.


Cumberland (Md } Alleganian.
Some one has said that while
figures, of themselves. will not lie,
vet one can lie by figures 1t is
equally true that there are many
statements, passing current among
men, which. to put it mildly, are
singularly misleading. Among
these is the prosperity among the
people, which the Republican party
claims as the product of their pub
lie policy. With foe rhetoric Mr..
Mckinley INDUCES this patent
statement of his people. while the
rank and file swallow it more greed
lily than they do Otis dispatches
from Luzon touching the impend-
ing capture of Aguinaldo.
Now whether people is pros
porous depends upon what is true
prosperity, aud the viewpoint
from which it is considered. III it
be that the promotion of the great
est good to the greatest number is
the outcome of the policy now in
operation-if the standard and tests
of his prosperity are those which
beautifully belong to a Republican
form of government if Washing
ton and Jefferson would endorse
his his methods and their results,
then we can quite understand what
the late Ohio silverite says in his
message anent this Eldorado pros
peritS.
On the other hand if, in making
his taking statement, he had in
view that prosperity which enriches

of the whole people) say ten mil

manning sixty five millions, one oan
