Clcaks : Capes --Furs.

Realizing that our present
stock of ladies, misses and
childrens coats, capes etc. is far
too heavy for this time of the
year we have decided to offer a
selection from the entire stock
at prices far below anything
ever offered. We haven't space
to tell you all about it, but call
and look over the stock.

Barn and Contents Burned

Because of a fire that started
yesterday evening about 5::45
on their premises on North
Third street, the Alex Kirk
WOOL family mourn the UNI
timely demise of the family
COW which burned up along with
the barn and a large quantity
of feed, hay etc.
Members of the family had
finished doing the chores around
the barn but a few minutes be-
fore the fire started and its orr
gin is amystery, but the con-
ventional boy and match theory
is not advanced. The flames
made such rapid Roadway that
it was impossible to save any
thing in the barn after the fire
was discovered. An alarm of
fire was sent in to the central
station but when the firemen
arrived on the scene the barn
was but smoldering pile and
consequently the water was not
turned on as the wetting of
several hundred feet of hose
means considerable work for
the men at the station.

An Evening with the Art Club.


Although Old Boreas blew a
furious blast and the Storm
King angrily shook his snowy
name it did not prevent the in
vited guests from accepting the
courtesy extended by Mrs. G..
P. Smiley and Mrs. j. R. Nc
Laughlin to meet with the Art
Club in open session last even
ing. The guests we're carried
to the hospitable home Of the
former in closed conveyance.
The merry laughter and hearty
greeting which was given each
new arrival flung all formality
and ceremony to the winds so
that before the numerous wraps
that enveloped the guests were
removed every one was chatting
and laughing.
The glow of the fire from
CRATE and burner presented a
pretty picture now almost lost
in this day of radiators and
registers. The program was
opened by the president, Mrs.
M. c. Burbank, in an easy,
graceful manner. Mrs. Bur-
bank gave a very comprehen-
sive and interesting History
of Art" beginning with the
rude hieroglyphic representa-
lions of Egypt, she rapidly
sketched the development of
art until the time that gave the
world it's great masterpieces.
Mrs. Wilson followed with a
description of 'Italian Art of
the Renaissance" which was
also enjoyed. Mrs. Russell led
the company through fair
Italy, the home of so many
great artists and the repository
of so many of their greatest
productions. Partners were
then chosen by little art gems
being matched with their
names and the name of painter.
A number of games of the new
est fad in games, "finch,' were
then played and talked over in
the liveliest manner.
About eleven o'clock dainty
and toothsome refreshments
were served by Mrs. 7. P.
Welsh and Miss Smiley. The
guests of courtesy were Rev. j.
and Mrs MacAllister, Rev. j.
and Mrs. Williams, Mr.. and
Mrs. Dewell, Mr.. and Mrs. Hos
brook, Mr.. and Mrs. B. w. Car
Isle, Mrs. Berkeley, Misses
Berkeley and Thompson. The
evening will long be, remem-
bered by all present as one of
great pleasure.

unusually good record in re-

there should not be any tardi-
ness in school work but this is
the best record for more than a
