A Tcn.Ccnt Investment Often
Saves Dollars.

Professional dyers always use differ
ent dyes for cotton than for wool, as
cotton is a vegetable fibre. while wool
comes from an animal. In Diamond
Dyes there are Some fifteen fast cotton
colors that are prepared especially for
cotton and mixed goods. These dyes
give colors that even washing In strong
soapsuds or exposure to the sunlight
Will not fade.

The Hug PleaSed Him.

"See that MANI" said the clerk Of an
up town hotel to me this evening as
handsome, middle aged man strolled
through the lobby. THAT is the presi-
dent Of the - Life Insurance COM
pany. He married his stenographer
last spring. 1t was quite a romance.
He and the girl and his office boy were
coming down in the elevator in the
insurance building one afternoon when
the stenogrnpher saw mouse on the
boys shoulder. She threw her arms
around the presidents neck and
screamed to him to protect her. The
mouse covered In corner until the
elevator reached the bottom floor and
then escaped, the girl holding the
president all the time. Well he liked
the sensation Of being Rugged by a
pretty girl SO much that he married
her few weeks afterward.'
"And what became of the office
boy" l asked.
"Oh, he has desk in the office Mt Il
good salary now and is in line to be
president In due time" answered the
clerk carelessly.-New York Cor. Pitts
