Have You Seen This Queen Of
Dolls?

IF NOT, don't fail to give her call before
L her reception days are over. To see her is
to want her,and she is yours for the guessing.
This little Princess Titania La Paulina DeBazan
becoming tired of high society and life in
foreign land, left her home and came across the
ocean deep to seek a new home in this great
and progressive country, and having heard of
the store of A. G.. Seavey & Sons. far and wide,
telegraphed us on her arrival in New York
City that she would stay with us until she Sc
lected her permanent home, and here she is.
Now, to honor this little Princess and to
repay the crowd for coming to see her, we will
give you the opportunity of carrying her home
with you on Christmas eve, if you can guess
nearest the number of miles she has travelled in
coming to our store. She kept a record of her
mileage travelled, and in her hand she holds
an envelope, which contains the exact number,
which is between 5000 and 1000 miles. This
envelope is sealed with wax and stamped and
the window locked, the key being in our vault,
which goes without saying that no one will have
an opportunity of getting on to the "combina-
tion"
To every purchaser of SOC. worth of toys,
which have been marked below cost to close
out the stock, or the purchaser of $3.50 in the
dry goods department, fancy goods department
or in Christmas goods, will be given guess,
which will be recorded, and on the eve of
Christmas the envelope will be opened by Miss
Fannie Maxwell and the name of the lucky
one announced.
Trade has never been better and all classes
of goods are going like fash-in fact, we are
having hard time keeping ahead of the de-
mand of our fast growing trade. Goods come
in on one train and we have to recorder on the
next mail out. Every department is doing its
best to fill orders right on time and new men
are being added at all times to keep abreast
with the increase in the trade. We have the
stock, which is fresh and good, and being
newed all the time. We do not have to place
any dead stock or over purchases on sale on
bargain days. for we watch the buying of all our
goods, and careful in the selection of stocks,
and what's more and the best part of the story
is, we mark at reasonable prices We have the
best mail order connections in the town, and
when you want anything special ring up 26 and
guarantee to fill your wants in short order.
Call and see dolly and make guess for this
beautiful Christmas gift for one of your little
ones, and you will get glimpse of the best
trading place in town.

eve and will not reopen until Monday morning,
the 18th.

During his slumbers of the night

ession was entered by two masked
burglars who pounced upon him with
the intention u robbing the foxy Wal
ker. who had drawn his wealth from
the bank that day. The robbers
bound and gagged Trout and went
about TO gain the prize OF $1,000, little
thinking they had the wrong man.
They tied Trout's hands behind MIN,
blindfoided him and forced hand
kerchief into his mouth as a gag.
They found small amount Of change
in his pockets. which they refused to
take.
Not finding the object of their de-
