When first we bought we paid bill.
We feel it weighing heavy still,
But friends and neighbors teach us
why
'Tis best with one to deal and buy;
House & Hermann sell the best of goods
In furniture made of the best of woods,
Their carpets, clothing and shoes do
show,
OF course it's the store for us to 60.
SECOND VERSE.
Well furnish up anew in spring.
And will not miss a single thing!
For what we need to use and spend

Well buy. and that will be the end.
Except a little sum each week.
Of which It's hardly worth to speak;
Well never miss it from our board
Well buy just what we can afford.
THIRD VERSE.
House & Herrmann's prices are so small
Well never feel their tax at all;
It's good news to every man
That House & Hermann have a plan;
Without it we should feel quite lost,
We couldn't stand the sudden cost,
Experience us this wisdom gave
When we must weekly pay We'll save.

Canton. O., Oct l-Friends CT the
family Of the late President Mckinley
do not believe an attack was made on
the guards Sunday night with the in
tention Of destroying the vault. They
do not attempt 10 explain the strange
story Of the guards or account for the
firing Of the shot which the cemetery
officials and others near by say they
two men would undertake 10 make an
attack on the vault with - soldiers on
guard or near at hand. II is believed
the military authorities Will MAKE q
thorough investigation @ the siory
told BY the soldiers on guard SUNDAY
night
There is an Gnconfrmed rumor that
the shot was the result Of fall dur
ing quarrel between TWO Of the
guards. The officers have instructed
the soldiers not 10 talk and the story
Of the soldiers on guard Sunday night
could not be secured until the officers
got their repor. from them, and while
the officers declined 10 be quoted the
statements were made with Their
knowledge and in their presence.
None Of the officers would express an
opinion 7.5 10 what the object Of the
intruders may have been and they also
instructed the mea not 10 communi-
cate with outsiders. The few persons
who succeeded in gaining admission
10 the cemetery We're directed 10 the
officers for all Information and the
guards We're directed not TO talk Of ne
incident among themselves while out
siders Were present This is said 20
be in accordance with military regula-
tons.
Shortly after roca Captain Bidile
commanding the guard az Westlawn
cemetery thanked the reporters foe
the fair and correct manner in which
they had described the incidents a,
