Shoes.

We have given considerable attention
to SHOES Of late, and we have dispos-
ed of hundreds Of pairs. These have
included all styles and qualities, and
numerous bargains. But our stock is
still complete. We have not suffered
1t to run down materially. Even where
certain line of Shoes has been ex-
hausted at COST prices, we have taken
the precaution to replace it either as
1t was or substantially the same in or
der to be able to accommodate custo-
mers who might want something Of the
kind. But along with all this, we de-
sire to say that we still have some
EXTRAORDINARY BARGAINS in
SHOES. We have good, serviceable
Shoes that we are anxious to dispose
Of at almost any price that Is reasona-
BILE. We have some Shoes that are a
little off in style and somewhat shop
worn, that are being sold absolutely
without regard to cost. And along
with them all we have Shoes for both
ladies and gentlemen that cannot be
outclassed anywhere in either style,
quality or price. The whole subject is
worth investigation.

FRUITS AND FLOWERS.

In setting out an orchard keep to-
gether all trees Of the same variety.
Good garden soil is good for pot
plants. but can be improved by the ad-
dition of leaf mold.
Weak rosebushes may often be made
to grow by giving them an occasional
watering with liquid manure.
One advantage with small fruits is
that they can be made to furnish a
supply long before trees come into bear
ing.
In planting border don't plant every
thing in rows. A row Of hollyhocks,
for instance, isn't half as attractive as
irregularly placed groups that break
the outline.
With pot plants in general way too
little water is better than too much.
The dropping leaves indicating drought
are more easily remedied than yellow
leaves. the result Of being kept too
wet
In preparing pots for plants the
pieces of broken pots or crockery in the
bottom should never be omitted, as
without proper drainage the soil be-
comes sour, the plants languish and
the leaves become yellowish.

of her reversed Boston bag poured q
cascade Of little parcels, freshly strug-
gled for at the Monday bargain coun-

to shop in the city? Everything, is so

and drove over to the one store at
the crossroads to get it., 1t took some
five minutes to convince the amiable
proprietor that I really wanted dark
blue and could not be persuaded to ac-
cept light instead, which he considered
more suitable and becoming to fair
complexioned person Of my years; he
added reassuringly that anybody under
forty was not too young for baby blue.
Another five minutes were given up
to his incredulous reluctance to believe
that two inches wide would not do as
well as three, especially as the three
inch width had been mislaid on top
shelf and he would have to get STEP
ladder to get it down. Several more
minutes passed in the search for the
ladder, its laborious portage from the
cellar, it's erection and repair with a
piece Of twine. the braces being broken,
and his final ascent to the dim and
dusty upper region, whence the box Of
wide ribbons was at length produced.
Il found shade that would do, and
he leisurely measured of yard, fin
gered it, then paused to rub a per-
picked ear and smile ingratiatingly.

brother didn't like the job. and came
to the tent where | was on guard to

broke il: Say, Tip, you must not back
out. / want you in the squad, as l
know you are u dead shot and will
save me from the sergeant
1T was the practice for the sergeant
if the firing squad failed to kill the
doomed man with a volley to place the
muzzle of his rifle against the temple
of the prisoner and blow out his brains.
After Tip had consented the officer
of the guard permitted us to play cards
with the prisoner. He had u roll of
bills. and we were soon in a stiff poker
game. Two guards, including myself,
my brother Tip and Thompson, COM
posed the quartet. We played until
gray daylight. and Thompson skinned
the party of every dollar. He had
phenomenal luck and watched the
game closely.

about noon he asked to see the lieuten-

officer $500, he asked him to divide it
equally among the men detailed to
shoot him.
