TO close out my entire stock Of fine
Clothing, Gents Furnishings. Hats

most Of our stocks are bright new goods
and haven't been in the house more
than two weeks as did not know that

will find to be q genuine closing ont
sale, and every dollars worth Of stock

along that line not to allow themselves
TO be taken in by SINNERS.

who congregate near the corner OF Harri-

prompt action on the part of older heads
the consequences Of their prank might
have been serious.
In some manner the lads got hold Of a
cup fun Of whiskey and not being dis
posed to drink il themselves, they cast
about for some one TO give it 10. They
found their victim In the person Of a D.
year-old son OF well-known West-End
physician and forced the child 10 drink
the contents Of the cup. The result was
the absolute stupefactiOn Of the little
one, and for a time ii was thought that
he was dead.
A lady, who happened 10 be passing and
saw the condition Of the child. hurried
him TO his fathers home. The doctor was.
fortunately. in his office at the time, and
at once administered emetiCs and restOra-
tives. lie worked on the baby for five
hours before he was resuscitated, but his
efforts were finally crowned with success.
The little one is all right now, and so joy
full are the parents that they have re-
