Harry Walsh the Canadian champion,
was won by the Walkerville Pet at the

and tried hard to put him out. He ham

fused Then there was talk Of calling the
mill on, but rather than disappolnt the
crowd although small Kelley gave in
and hung up the purse.

Mrs. r. B. Van Dusen

agents for the Perfection Ladies'
Tailoring Co., of Chicago, will be at
Kruger & Warmers store for three
days April IA, Is, and Is, exhibiting
this line and taking orders for ladies'
suits and skirts. There has always
been barrier against giving people
from away orders for suits as there
is the fear that the garment won't
suit or fit when it comes. We are
pleased to inform the ladies OF the
city and vicinity that they need not
entertain any such fears if they leave
their orders with Mrs. Van DuSen as
she comes the second time and fits the
garment perfectly. She herself hav-
ing had long years experience in the
dresSmaking business. And another
idea which Mrs. Van Dusen carries
out strictly to the letter and that is
she sells only one suit of kind in any
town, that protects each lady in her
individual style. This will be appre.
ciated by all ladies. You will have
the satisfaction of knowing that your
garment is right in every way before
you pay for it. Mrs. Van DUser
informs us that her line is more
elegant and varied than ever before
ADD we feel sure it will be very attrac.
tive and we'll worth your while to cal
and inspect the line and leave youl
orders. Remember she will be here
three days, Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday, 18th, 18th and 10th Of
April.

Letter 10 {. Smart.
\ EKOOSA, WIS.


Dear Sir: You buy your horseshoes
and nails; your grandfather, if he
was blacksmith, made 'em. You
cant afford TO hammer them out by
hand, when you can buy as good, or
better perhaps, ready made to YOUR
hand, for little more than the cost
of the iron
What do you think of a painter who
goes on buying his linseed oil and
Whitehead, and mixing, and tinting
by hand, and charging his time for
work that is far better-done than he
can do it; done by machinery; done as
your horseshoes and nails are made.
Mistake isn't it?
He is wasting his chance in the
world. There is no better stuff to do
business with than good horseshoes
and paint: and no better work than
putting them on. Good horseShoeS
well put on; It's the putting 'em on
that makes you a blacksmith: no
matter who makes 'em.
VINO wants to go back TO old times,
and make his own hOrSeShOes?
Between us two. that painter don't
know how to make good paint-he
