long to tell a bargain when she

heart of every woman.

Polly as she noticed the shoes

"Yes," said Uncle Josh, ID. s.

ding to fashion and satisfaction
that your work has been done by
competent artist" In a few
minutes there never was a happier
girl than Polly, for she got a
"perfect dream" of a hat and the
bill didn't scare Uncle Josh either
"And in the matter of insur-
ance," the old gentleman continu-
ed. THAT is also of Importance.
You will want risk on your new
house, and goods; but you can't
be toe careful about getting it in
a reliable agency. My old friends
the Savery Insurance agents not

best companies, but he is an ex-
pert and trustworthy underwater.
He has large number of compa-
MES, all of which belong to the
old reliable category, being well
known for their prompt and salts
factory adjustment of losses. It's
better to be safe than sorry and
you'll surely be safe in the
Savery's agency" Charley agreed
to attend to the insurance matter
at his earliest convenience
II would also like to make you

eff You ever have to supplement
your natural teeth"
"Ugh! Don't you mention false
teeth to me-" cried Polly. "Pll

mouth if l go toothless." "Oh,
as for tnat," laughed Uncle Josh,
eff you'll only consult good
dentist in time, you can save the
catastrophe. Dir. Hood, for
instance, is wonderfully expert in
saving natural teeth, aud he has
the skill and every modern
mechanical appliance necessary to
do his work with the least dis

anyway, till 1 see if my new

"And as you are going to keep a

contracted with to build the house
for Polly and Charley.
Having already provided a cage
for the bird,,' said Uncle Josh,
"now the first thing we'll look after
will be the furnishings for it"
Hereupon Polly energetically de-
clared that she had heard so much
about W. E. Pegues that che had
decided to go there. The result
was that they were ushered into
such a bewiIdering display that the
girl was at first at loss how to
select. But she soon yielded TO
the seductiveness of a magnificent
parlor suite, a bed room set in oak,
golden finish, that would do credit
to old Mr.. Klondyke himself. To
this she added an easy rocker for
Uncle Josh, and didn't forget a
most convenient and ornamental
writing desk for Hubby" Charles,
having come to the conclusion that
w. E. Pegues' prices were below
the very whisper of competition.
"a pretty good start" said the
old man." aud now we'll 60 to

Polly's Lousewifely instincts will
have full play in marvels of kitch-

establishment in the country that
carries a more comprehensive
stock of cooking machinery" re-
marked Uncle Josh. every pos
sible piece of kitchen furniture
from a tin dipper to a cooking
range is here in all styles
and variety" If Polly fails to
accomplish wonders in the culinary
art, it will not be for want of
superior cooking utensils, for she
purchased Kentucky range with
all other equipments needed in a
well regulated kitchen,all of which
Uncle Josh paid for with delight
because he knew Trice & Raymond
Hardware Co. had treated him
all right, just as they treat every
body.
Woman like, Polly was discuss
ing the matter of how she would
arrange her new house and was
interrupted by Uncle Josh. "And

said he, "that you haven't got
