mark ''69 cents"
81 am sure it is cheaper at the
other place" said the busy shopper.
Then she rushed to the other place,
tripped up three old ladies in the
rush, tore her skirt just where it
showed and found the same goods
marked GO cents.
But 1 believe" she argued to her
self, "that the other was a little bit
heavier and closer woven. Where
upon she walked five blocks back tC
the first store to compare samples
In the scramble her she lost hand
kerchief and three hair pins. The
goods see med to be identical. still
she declared, 81 think there is more
OF variety at the other store
She returned to the other store
and the other shoppers and purchas
ed it all.
When she got back to the first store
the last yard was being wrapped VI
for her neighbor.

with a sigh, II wouldn't want dres
just like Mrs. Naybor's. anyway"

Box once superstition.

A newspaper man was the second in
line at the box Office of one of the popu-
lar theaters on the opening night The
first man asked for four seats, and
when he started TO pay for them the
man in the box Office said:
"Oh, that's all right. There's no
charge at all for those seats.'
The man looked surprised, thanked
the ticket manipulation and went on.
Then the newspaper man had his turn.
and he said:
"Please satisfy impertinent curiosity
and tell me why you wouldn't take
that mans money"

Backed up by over n third Of a century
Of remarkable and uniform cures, a record
such a. no other remedy for the diseases
and weaknesses peculiar to women ever
attained, the proprietoTs and makers of
DIR. Picrcc's Favorite Prescription now feel
fully warranted in offering TO pay $500 in

case of I.cucorrhea, Female Weakness,

cannot cure. All they ask is a fair and
reasonable trial of their means of cure.
Their financial responsibility - well
known to every newspaper publisher and
druggist in the United States, with most
of whom they have done business for over
a third of a century. From this fact il will
readily be seen how utterly foolish ii would
be for them to make the above uuprece-
dented and remarkable offer IL they were
not hasing their offer on curative means
having an unparalleled record No other
medicine than DIR. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription could possibly rwiu out as the
saying goes, on such a proposition. But
they know whereof they speak. They have
the most remarkable record of cures made
by this world famed remedy ever placed to
the credit of any preparation especially
designed for the cure of woman's peculiar
ailments. This wonderful remedy, there
fore stands absolutely alone as the only
one possessed of such remarkable curative
properties as would warrant its makers in
publishing such a marvellous offer as is
above made in the utmost good faith.
