How it Happens.

We were asked recently
how it happened that our
store was always in the
lead as to newness of
styles of goods, in assort=
ments and in methods of
doing business. Why it
was that our stocks, our
store service and our
trade compared favorab=
iy with the best stores in
towns many times the
size of Audubon. To reg
ular readers of our ads
and regular patrons of
our store, the answer in
part is evident. We adj
vertise truthfully. We
work hard to keep abreast
of the times. We do not
hesitate to branch out in
order to give our patrons
a service as near what
they would get in the
large cities as possible.
We have an intelligent
and accommodating force
of sales-people. We have
improved methods of
showing goods. We are
satisfied ! that we buy
right. We know that
quality is more in the end
than mere price, and
that's why our stock is
free from shoddy. Our
way of "making things
right that don't prove
to be as represented and
our universal method of a
price that is just, are a
few brief reasons as to
how it happens

agree that the use OF a liver pill after
dinner, or to accomplish special re-
suits, is an important step in civillza-
ton. DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are
better than other liver pills in almost
every respect. They're the small
est, easiest to take, most natural in
the way they act; cheapest, because
there r more in each package. We
all have sceak spots. Generally it's
the liver. An active liver prevents
impurities and poisons from entering
the blood. "Pleasant Pellets" have q
tonic effect upon the liver and the
general system. They cure constipa-

spells, sick or bilious headaches, and
arrangements of the liver, stomach

Fought With SHELBY.
ANOTHER OF QUAETRILLs BAND
OF DAsHING WARRIORS
EAs PASSED AWAY.
CAPT. DAVID POOLE NO HORE
Former Comrades Pay Tribute to a
Soldier of the C~Onfederacy Who
Died in Arizona, Where HI
Amassed a Fortune.


Ex- Confederates all over Missouri,
and particularly those who followed
Gen. 10 Shelby, win be panied by the
announcement OF the death OF Capt.
David Poole on bis ranch near Phoe-
mix, Ariz.
The news comes from Fort Worth,
Tex, which place q brother, o. O.
Poole, resides.
Death came to the old warrior Sat
urday. He was OF years old, and one
Of the most famous members of Guam
trill's band Of so-called guerriIlas.
Frank James, who served with Capt.
Poole under Quantrill, had not heard
Of his death until informed by q Post
Dispatch reporter.
81 a hardly believe It," he said,
sadly. 81 knew Dave Poole well, and
l want to say that God never made q
truer soul, and no man was a stauncher
friend than he. When he was once
your friend, he was always your
friend, and he didn't go around feel
ing the pulse Of the public to find out
how you stood with other people. He
stuck to you through thick and thin,
good and evil report.
IA drawer man never lived. He
was true blue, through and through
and there wasn't q trace of yellow In
his whole makeup. In a few years
now, all the old fellows who fought on
both sides will be gone. Two such
armies viii never be again."
Dol. Tom Pritchard, clerk at the
Laclede Hotel, served with Poole
under Shelby and was greatly g-ieved
to hear Of his death. He paid his
memory as high a tribute as Frank
James did.
Capt. Poole, was born in Lafayette
county, this State. He fought all
through the war under Quantriil and
Shelby and after the surrender at APP
pomattox returned to his farm IN
Lafayette county. Later he moved
to West Texas, where he became very
wealthy.
Friendship caused him to become
security for large debts and he lost
the greater part OF his fortune. I'M
daunted, he began anew in Arizona,
and succeeded In amassing q consid-
cradle fortune. Two brothers survive
him. One, John Poole, livesin South
ern Texas, and the other, o. O. Poole,
lives near Fort Worth.
In his book, "Noted Guerrillas, or
Warfare on the Border" Major John
N. Edwards, the unique chronicler of
the doings Of the most remarkable
organization OF fighters known in
history, has this to say about Poole:
"Poole, an unschooled Aristophanes
of the civil war, laughed at calamity
and Knocked when any mans fear
came. But for its pictpresqueness,
his speech would have been comedy
personifed. He laughed loudest when
he was deadliest, and treated fortune
with no more dignity In one extreme
than another"
