1901 is in the shape of screen, 2SA
Kiln inches, intended to stand on the
table or hang on the wall. Each panel
suggests a hundred years in the

typifies the seventeenth century, the
Puritan in severe gray represents the
early part of the eighteenth, a high
bred colonial dame the nineteenth,
and the new century is shown by
modern American girl. All the faces
are charming, and the calendar is
beautifully printed in rich, harmoni-
Gus colors. The American Girl cal
endar will be mailed, postpaid, to any
one sending 10 cents to Swift & Com
pany, Union Stock Yards, Chicago.

Tuesday evening a bold attempt was
made to burglarize the home of David

White entered the Darlor on some house
hold duty, when she found that, the piano
had been moved from its accustomed
place. Looking behind it she saw a. man
hiding Her husband being absent she
ran to a neighbours for assistance. When
they entered the room they found the
man had escaped. An examination of the
room showed that an entrance had been

ton of the invader to remain until the
family had retired, when he would have

body Of enthusiastic Democrats here tc-
day. Major Lassiter denied most positive
ly that he had ever said that he was not

on the contrary, he said it was the great
est curse that has ever been put upon

of the campaign in a very forcible man
ner, and was greatly applauded.
Mr.. Turnbull then made ringing
speech. announcing the Republican party
and its methods. He proved conclusiveiy
that the credit Of the public school system
was not due to the Republicans, as
claimed by them, for a majority OF :Ao
Republicans who were in the Legislature

against it, and but for the Democrats the
