family carriage-in all the variations OF
dashing style and substantial utility-and

nearly $500 forms of wheeled comfort. 1t is
not an exposition Of carriage makers craft,
and it is too. Anyhow there is no admission
charge but plenty Of obliging guides to
carry you through the labyrnths OF grace
full woodwork, art iron mOngery, glisten
ing varnish and pleasing leather effects.
This great show is composed of the cur.
rent stock of the Columbus Carriage and
Harness Company, Columbus, Ohio--a
stock that is always kept full and new to
meet the great demand for their vehicles
from all parts OF the country. The demand
arises from this company's method Of selling
direct from the factory without Intervening
profits of jobber and retailer, sharply re-
ducing prices near the cost line The
company's selling plan has many admirable
features to recommend it that strongly ap-
peals to every one wanting a reliable car
rage. There is the assur ance Of the manu-
facturer direct, in addition to the saving in
price; the certainty Of that indefnable touch
of style; the careful delivery, free from
blemish, and much else that will readily
suggest itself to the reader. The Columbus
Carriage and Harness Company publish
very handsomely Illustrated descriptive
price-list which they will gladly mail free
to anyone who will write stating what
particular style Of vehicle or harness is
wanted,

McCLURG'S MAGAZINE FOR MAY

McClure's Magazlue for May is ii h
in those quail ties for which it has COME
to stand reality aud vivid portrayals
Of lie. The great feature of the
number is unquestiorably he ie-
markal 10 chapter fro Captain Alfred
DR.. y'us' Own story Of his aires (,
de radato n, and imprisonment. For
dir .ctness, self coatrol, and simple
thruthfulness, Dreyfus narrative could
not be surpassed. The portion OF {
which appears in the Magazine is rade
the more f,rcef full by contrast with TIE
selections from his Diary, written On
Devils Is and, Tor his wife. In the
Diary, the supreme suffering OF this
man, imprisoned for. he knew not
what, Prosecuted by, he kLew not
whom, and his heroic courage in refas
ing to die, are told with painful
intensity, impossible in anything bat a
veritable human document. The who @
story reads like chapter from the
Secret Records of the fiddle Ages.
That srch an experience as that
recorded in Dreyfus' Own Story, was
pot IDLE in the Nineteenth Century, is
one Of the most terrible proofs we
have OF the incompleteness of our
civilization.

Some weeds prefer cool weather and
start to grow early. Others do not be-
gin growth until the ground is warm.
There are also weeds which delight in
damp weather, and others that can
flourish during severe drought. But
no weed can stand loosen'ng of the top
soil when they are Just coming out of
The ground; for, if they are not cut
down, their roots are loosened and
they perish, because they cannot secure
food.
