New CopIeys.

THE Copley Prints are the finest
known reproduction of Art" Their
popularity in Canon City as well as
the country over was immediate,
and is has never diminished from
the start. There are cheap sub
stitutes and limitations, 1--WE handle
several kinds of prints,) but none
of them approach in artistic exc
cution the genuine Copley. We
have handled heretofore only the
Copleys in the soft Black color.
They come in "Sepia" tone also.
They are called Copley 'Sepias.r
Many prefer them to the others.
They are just as fine and it is
merely question of preference
We have just received small
assortment. You are invited to
call and see them-though they
ray be all sold before then. We
handle the genuine "Copleys," ex-
clusively. The Copley prints
range in price from SOC to $1,000.
Wave Crest Ware.
Our line of this beautiful ware
is not large, but it is choice and
carefully selected. If any one
sells it for less money than we do,
they don't make much profit for
themselves. But as usual we are
willing to guarantee that our
prices will not be beaten.
Trinket trays, hand decorated,
gold trimmings, satin lined. SI.00
each and up.
Jewel Boxes, hand decorated,
gold trimmings, satin lined, $500
to $4.75. Ash Trays. $1.00. Fern
Dish $3.75.
This line of goods is more beau
tiful this year than ever. Many
of the wave effects are new, and
the decorations are beautiful and
attractive.
MedailIons.
We have some beautiful things
in Medallions this year. There
has been a decided advance, from
an artistic standpoit, over last
year, in the making of Medallions.
The bright colors and gold frames
have given place largely to lower
tones and frames of Flemish oak.
We give few popular subjects:
"Hypatia" Picture beautifully
executed in amber, beveled glass,
handsome Flemish oak frame. full
size 16x19, price $8.75. "Coun-
tess Potocka." A beautiful pic
tyre in carbon, beveled glass, hand

msntation, price $3.50. "St Co

VIOLATED DELICACY.
A Child should Never BE HumiIintcd
in His Ideas of Propricty and
MOdcsty.

The indiscriminate kissing of stran-
gers is a source of humiliation and dis.
trcss to sor,e children, and ought never
to be permitted. The unwilling kiss OF
politeness exacted from Il child who
inwardly resents the liberty with all
his might can scarcely be a pleasure to
the recipients, and is without excuse
from any point of view. Children often
suffer from a lack Of reverence for the
body, of delicacy of personal approach
on the part of these who have them in
charge. This is one reason why the
mother. if she be a woman of real re-
tiuement. should undertake as far as
possible the bathing and intimate per-
sonal care of her children. rather than
delegate it to a hired nurse. who, if net
vicious, may be coarse-m minded. Some
persons imagine that young children,
since they are quite guiltless of mod
esty i'll one sense of the word must
therefore be incapable of approaching
this delicacy of which speak: but my
OWL observation teaches me that while
as yet Indifferent to the familiarity Of
the eye, they may be not only physical
ly but morally sensitive to careless
handling Elaine Goodale Eastman, in

Crop Outlook Discourag ing.

WEST POINT, April 1.-THE prospec-
tive crop conditions for this section of
Mississippi are far from flattering.
Careful research fails to reveal paral-
lei to this. the most unreasonable spring
ever known. That the cotton acreage
will be greatly reduced is no longer
disputed by any one; for at this date
ordinarily the planting is practically
over with, but this season, so far there
is not a row planted and if it were,
would only rot in the ground. More
over, little blowing has been done, and
sequently the planting will be fully a
month late if conditions are favorable
from now on. which necessarily means
a light crop of light lint.
Little corn is planted to date, and
early trucking has been complete
failure. The potatoes planted having
rotted in the ground in almost every
instance, and it has been too cold and
wet for any of the other trucking crops
to survive.
OF fruit. there will be none, except
ing possibly few of the various kinds
of berries. The fruit, such as peaches
and pears, that managed to escape thu
ravages of the February blizzard, have
been given the finishing touches by the
recenG April freeze.
Certain it is that unless the summe
months are wonderfully favorable to
the staple crops little can be expected
from that source.

Hot Springs, Ark, April 15.-The end
has come in less than one months time
in the recent street duel in which five
lives were lost, and there will be no
hangings. Not even one of the accused
go to Jail. The coroner's jury charged
Sheriff Bob Williams; his brother, Cof-
fey Williams; Ed Spear and VIII Watt,
deputy sherifs, with numbering Chief
of Fclice T. c. Toler, Sergt. Thomas f.
Gosslee, Detective j. L. Hart and Louis
Hinkle, and all furnished bonds. The
grand jury, which has been in session
several days, reports to Judge Duffie
that the evidence against the men is
not sufficient to prosecute them. They
claim that the evidence from 100 wit
nesses showed self-defense in each case.
The men have been released from their
bonds, and only the cosmopolitan res
idcnts are surprised at the verdict. In
addition to those mentioned, a son of
Sheriff Williams was killed in the duei,
which resulted from political quarrel
in the Local democratic household.
