BUFFALO BILLS ROUGH RIDERS.


Colonel Baden Powell, whose gallant
defense of Mafeking against the Beers
made him famous Is known in the British
army and throughout the world as one Of
the greatest rough riders of today. He is
a born horseman, and trained scout.
who has made study of that branch OF
military service, and in writing on that
subject, this gallant English soldier
singled out Colonel Cody( Buffalo Bill) as
the highest type of the vigilant scout and
hunter in the world. Such praise from
the acknowledged foremost cavalryman OF
the English army speaks volumes. and
that Colonel Powell and Buffalo Bill take
pride in their warm personal friendship
is no wonder. Colonel Cody will visit us

MAINE's GREATEST STORE.
Following Up a
Success.
Something About a Remarkable
Piano.

Piano.
We chose the name "Riverton" for our
sewing machine that has brought forth more
favorable public comment, probably, than
any other machine ever sold in Portland.
We thought we could not do better than
adopt the same name for the Piano that has
been made specially for us and which we
are confident is by all odds the most worthy
instrument for the money or sale in New
England. We are content with small
margin of profit because our intention is to
make it "leader'' to advertise our depart
ment of pianos. AT $3.50 it is fully the
equal of instruments sold elsewhere at three
hundred to three hundred and fifty dollars.
We ourselves guarantee absolutely every one
that goes out.
The "Riverton" has fine mahogany in
laid case, ivory keys, mandolin attachment,
full size scale, and is furnished with three
strings to the note, which makes it
cabinet grand. The price is $3.50.

Fine Organs for
Little Money.

Like the pianos, these contain
the best obtainab'e value. They
are made by one Of the best
known and most reliable makers
in the country. If his name
were on them you would have
TO pay a third more. So we put
our name on and charge you
nothing for It, We certainly
would never do that II we did
not believe In them ourselves.
Each has high top oak case,
four sets Of reeds, two knee
swells, and ten stops. The
pedal action is unusually easy.
These organs are well worth
