II RAIHED.

We said ii Was going to rain this
y eek but We did not think il would
c. .mt go Soon. Sometimes our fears
get the best of us and produce great
worry. Worry that Dies US up men
tally and phi ysicaify. In fact to worry
ia worse to the system than work
The man whe Is always hoping fer
better times is in = better condition
to get there than the man who is ali
the time fearing the future and fret
ting In the present.
You may think it strange that each
week We are writing these cheerful
" .rds to you. but we think we have
d me better duty if We can che.
you up and make you feel cheerful
and happy, and those around yon3
than if We had sold you some goods =.
Il don't take money all the time to
help person, good, kind word
spoken in cheerful way helps and
braces man up more than if be had
little money or q good meal.
Still, if you will just think the
matter over &c little you will also find
that q nice prescott now and then,
whether it is large or small, present
that just suits the fancy or idea of
those around you, or perhaps your
wife has expressed herself to you that
she would like to have the rooms
papered, that she found at Moses she
could get paper fog the rooms that
would not cost over 81 80 TO $500
per room and in the leisure hours you
could put it on youreeif. Or if you
find you have to have paper hanger,
we have one who will put it on from
3 to cents per roll cheaper than any
one else.
Your daughters looked at some lace
and damask curtains al d they thought
how nice it would be to have them
hung up in the parlor or sitting room
They found that they did not cost
very much only 50c, s1.00 to 50 90
per pair. And when your wife aud
daughters were in together they look
ed at some carpets and thought how
nice they would be in the sitting room,
and if they could not get a carpet,
they would like to have q nice 9x12
rug We have.
1t is not very strange. but it is true
nevertheless that our love goes out for
those who are nearest and dearest to
US, and when they looked around at
the rugs, and the wall paper. and the
furniture they said: Well. how nice
it would be if we could just fix up
Johns and Dicks and Joe's room.
How nice it would be to just surprise
them when they step in at night and
see what change has occurred.
Say, did you ever think of It that
there is more enjoyment in giving
these surprises in the household than
ten times the amount they cost? But
that is.nat all, did you, ever realize
that presents of this kind are not for
single use, but for the use of all.
And we might say right here that
you are not throwing away your
money ia the least, and are singing
and playing Yourself into happiness
and enjoyment when you buy of US q
hroeger, Smith & Barnes, or Valley
Gem piano, or Newman or Farrand
organ.
It is the rage. Everybody is buy
inga cream separator. Some have
bought cream seperators they dom
like. So take heed from those who
have already bought and see where
you can get the: best for the money.
IF you will just come in and see US we
will show you the Empire, the neat.
est, and incest and beet on the market.
Still, none of you will think your
house complete after you have bought
wall paper, and furniture and carpets,
unless you buy little paint to make
the wood-work correspond. Now we
sell this paint for S1.10 per gallon,
mixed by ourselves with the best
boiled linseed oil. We have other
paints we buy in cans for 81 30
per gallon We also have a barn
paint, and our door paint, we can
sell you for 48c per gallon.
Have you been asked lately to boy
a bicycle for the boys and girls, or
have they made up :heir minds to buy
one themselves IF so. please don't
fail to see the Imperial. Notwith-
standing material has gone up We are
selling the best bicycles cheaper than
ever.
Don't throw away the old goods |
you have on hand until you know
they cannot be repaired. just think |
of it and bear it in mind that we re-
pair watches, clocks, jewelry, furni-
ture, sewing machines, guns, bicycles, |
farm implements and machinery.
We have enc of the best machinists |
in the country, q new man just come |
