poLLY's UNCLE JOSH.
JContinu9d from page IL


when he worked in one of the largest
watch manufacturing establishments
in the United States" After meeting
Mr.. Lund and the usual congratuIa-
tons had been extended, Polly was
soon the possessor of fine timepiece.
AT Charley's suggestion, they pur-
chased an alarm clock, Uncle remark
ing Glow things do change" He
lowed that he and Jane didn't need
any of them rafting things to wake
them up in the morning"
"UncIe, said Polly, Il would like
to buy some toilet articles and few
little presents to send to the folks at
home. Where shall we goa" "Why
| wouldn't hesitate minute on that
question, we'll just go down and see
Hulburd & johnson. They have the
finest line of that kind | ever saw"
While Polly was looking over the dis
play and making her selections,
Uncle Josh aud Charley were discuss
ing the different brands of cigars.
Charley declared if you wanted
good smoke, you had to pay ten cent
for it, but Josh thought that one OF
Hulburds& Johnson's five cent cigars
were good enough for anybody.
"While we're in here, why not buy
our paints. and oils. I've been using
these brands of paints for the last
fifteen years and they always proved
satisfactory"
Now that we've bought our paint,
the next thing to look after is the
painter, andswe don't want to employ
botcher. The only person I've
dealt with is V. Warde. He fixed up
my old house on the farm last sum-
mer and made it look as pretty as
these city folks have. He's best on
inside work and if you had only seen
some of those houses turned inside
out that we drove by today, you'd
thought you was walkin'through fairy
land, said Uncle Josh, striving for
appropriate terms in which to cloth
his admiration for thu work done by
V. Warde.
After leaving the painter. the con-
versation drifted to farming around
Morris and Uncle Josh had TO tell
Charley ali about the famous light
running Defiance pillow sold by /. j.
Moore. "You see," he began, "Mr.
Moore handles mighty fine machinery,
probably the best in this part Of the
country. He is particularly an ex-
pert in setting up machinery and
showing you how it works. That
are Defiance pillow is got up on prac-
teal lines and meets the needs ofthis
country as no other pillow does. You
see, it's long and slim and the experts
says that that's what makes it beat
everything on the market for efici
ency and durability"
"Have you learned to play piano
yet" asked Josh as they rode along.
NO." said Polly, but you are going
to get me piano, are you not?"
"Why yes, said Josh ''as long as We
are tired of shopping, don't know
Of better thing to do for short
rest than to call on our music teacher,
Prof. Sobey. He and have piano
already picked out for you and all
hat remains is for you to arrange for
your lessons with him. Mr.. Sobey |
Vas found and after listening to a
sew selections of classical music, Polly !
declared there was nothing down in
Cicero that equalled that This |

piano players in this part of the state,
md the pianoes he handles are the
oest.'
