Of giving a full description Of what is
to be found in our DRESS GOODS
DEPARTMENT, we confess at the out
set that we realize our utter inability
to do so. No customer who comes and
makes an investigation can fail to ap-
preciate the reason. The variety Is too
creat. We are at loss to know where
to begin. What to put in, what to leave
out and where to end. No attempted
description would be satisfactory. The
best thing for our friends to do Is to
come and see for themselves. and to
come while the big stock is at its best.

An Armory for Cresco.

The members of Co. e. are agitat-
ing the question of an armory build
ing for their use In all the official and
social functions that fall to their lot.
They desire if possible to get some
society interested, presumably the
Masonic order, and put up three
story building, fitting up the third
story for Masonic hall, and the
other two stories be given up to the
use of Co. E.
This is quite an undertaking for the
boys, and will require a great amount
OF hard work on their part, as they
will have to raise the necessary funds
themselves, as all they are allowed by
the state is $3.50 per year for rent,
which will be given them, even
though they own their headquarters.
With the cooperation our citizens
should feel it their duty to give them,
the work is possible and can be accom-
plished with very little difficulty. Our
readers are all familiar with the ex-
cellent standings our boys received
and the good work done by them at
the Cedar Falls encampment, and
they certainly are worthy of the sup
port of not only Cresco people but OF
the residents of the entire county.

A SUDDEN CALL.
Charles PEGGY Suddenly Expires
While Running to Fire.

Saturday last about eleven O'Clock,
an alarm of fire called the people to
the tow mill where fire was in prog
ress. Among others was Charles
Pecoy, who joined in with Hose Co.
No. 2, and helped push their cart
from the corner near Jackson,s drug
store to the scene of the fire, when he
suddenly fell forward upon his face.
Spectators state that they supposed
he had simply stumbled and fell but
his wife. who was standing on the
walk opposite his home, says he stor-
ped suddenly, looked at her and SEEM
ingly made an effort to call to her and
then fell forward on his face. He
was picked up and carried to the side
OF the street and physicians summon
ed, Drs. Scripture and Ahern respond
ing Immediately. From the first he
had the appearance of death, but a
hard effort was made to revive him
but to no avail as after several min
utes of work the practical eye and ear
OF the physicians determined that
life was gone. 1t is doubtful if the
vital spark was present at any time
after he fell.
The deceased was about % years of
age and a native cf Wisconsin. He
came to Cresco in the spring and
worked for a time on the b. P. Nor
ton farm, moving to town about two
months ago and working for his uncle,
Steve PEGGY, in the latter,s mill.
which he left when the alarm of fire
was sounded. He had the reputation
and appearance of an honest, hard
working young man, faithful to his
family and his friends. He leaves a
wife and little five weeks old babe
who have the sincere sympathy of all
In their sad loss. She is left in Door
health, entirely destitute, and with
no near relations living except a Sis
ter in the far west.
Short funeral services were held at
the home. just south of the tow mill.

singing Ct couple of hymns, short
prayer and few words of comfort
and hope from Rev. Ridlington. The
remains were taken for interment to

being accompanied there by Mr.. S.

able physically to stand the trip.

Fruit kent on Rats.

Among the many strange craft that
ply up and down the rivers around
New York one may frequently see one
that looks like back yard afloat. it
is a large platform, inclosed all the
way around with picket fence. There
are gates in the fence, and, to keep
up it's resemblance to an ordinary in
closure of suburban garden, there
are green leaves to be seen within.
These floating yards are used by
wholesale fruit dealers. 1t is found
that bananas, pineapples and other
tropical fruits spoil so easily in hot
weather that they must not be packed
closely, even for an hour. So they
are put on these floats in such a way
that the air can reach them from all
sides, and the trips on the rivers are
made as long as possible.

The Gall of a Man.

The Chinese lay stress on the
amount of gall man has and not on
the amount of heart. Thus we read of
Hou King, who was Governor of Ho-
nan in the sixth century, that he once
captured rebel named Ii Cheh,
brought him into the market, chopped
off his hands and his feet, ripped up
his heart and his belly and cut out his
vitals. The victim, however, con-
tinued to jest, with his features I'M
distorted and his countenance I'M
changed. His gall bladder was then
seen to have the capacity of pint
measure, which completely accounted
for his stoicism. In 1915, when the
armies of the Manchus were gradually
overrunning China, one WI Han Chao
made head against them in Anhui. But
he finally fell into their hands. The
historian records that his gall was
three inches long.-Shangha Mercury.

HUMAN BEINGS AND ROCKS.

Philosopher Points Out Similarities

I'm from the country" he said,
addressing nobody in particular and
apropos of nothing, land | want to
tell you people that we are only a
lot of rocks. Did you ever watch a
colony of rocks build their nests in
the spring."
Everybody looked refectively away.
We'll, I'll tell you. First rock
picks up a stick and puts it in his
nest, then goes away after another
one. When he's gone another rock
flies to his nest and steals the stick.
When he gets back he puts down
the second stick, for still another
rock to steal, and starts after the
first stick. He doesn't find it, and
when he gets back to his nest he
finds the second stick gone, and he
starts after that, scolding and swear
ing in rock fashion as hard as he can.
by this time the other thieves have
been robbed, too, and it only takes
about three sticks to go around the
community and get the whole blessed
colony pow-wowing. Now, amt that
human nature?"
Everybody looked away refectively.

Convinced the Baker That He Had No
Claim.
His name was Johnny, and he was
the idol of his mothers heart, in spite
of what the neighbors might say to his
detriment.
You'll get my bread to-day before
returning to school, john" remarked
his mother to the boy while he in
dulged in his midday meal.
Yes, mother" answered he, and
shortly went forth to carry out his
mothers wishes.
"A loaf of bread-yesterday
please" murmured John, sweetly, as
he rendered six cents in payment.
Bread has gone up, my boy, one
cent" remarked Mr.. Dough, as he
held out his hand for the needful bal
ance.
"When?" queried John, thoughtfully,
as the prospect of distasteful double
journey flashed across his mind.
This morning, my lad-if that is
any consolation"
Johnny's face frightened visibly.
Yes, | think it is,' he remarked,
spasmodicaly, "for it was yesterdays
bread / ordered"
The baker concluded he had no
claim.

Sheep Eat Bottle Trees.

During the prolonged drought that
has devastated large areas of Queens
land, few squatters have been able
to save remnant of their flocks and
herds by feeding them on bottle trees.
The scientific name of this tree Is
sterculia, but it's popular name gives
an idea of it's shape. 1t is like a soda
water bottle, magnified to height of
four of five feet. The Dubious part
contains a mucilaginous substance,
which is wholesome and nutritious to
those who have acquired its taste.
1t was pathetic to see the thirsty
sheep gather around bottle tree,
pick up the chips, chew them and
extract all possible moisture.
