THE BIC STORE.
The Pride of Canon City Forced
to Close. The Bethel Com
pany Turns Over Entire
Stock to the New Era
Cash Realization
Company.

No industry has suffered as much on
account of the labor troubles and an
unusually open winter as the merchants,
who, contemplating a heavy trade,
bought accordingly to supply the de-
mand. This is about ali the story to
be told. Mr.. George w. Bethel en-
phatically states that The Bethel Co.
is not going out of business, but must
reduce and cash the stock to pay and
meet their obligations. For this pur-
pose the New Era Cash Realization Co
has been engaged with their entire
force of sales people to conduct the
cashing of this superb stock, which will
be the Wonder Sale of all former at
tempts. AS the amount to be raised
is stipulated, and the time to accom-.
plish limited, hence the people will
reap a benefit as never before The
store will be closed all day Friday and
the Wonder Sale will open Saturday
morning, Jan. 30th, at $50. All should
take advantage and be on hand early

oh. The world is growing older, but
the heart of, Love is young;
All the wooing songs we whisper are
the songs of ages sung:
the softly-rnurnured story in the
maiden's a to-day,
Is OF Paris love for Helen, told IN just
another way
Culpid's eyes are bright with laughter
and the shafts of Merriment
Fly as straight and true as ever; for
the barbed arrow sent
Through the heart of lad or lassie,
driven high or driven low,
Is the same that Cupid tipped with
love a thousand years ago
Oh, the m%oonlight,s spell is change
less and the soft skies over
Lead Loves footsteps in the pathway
where the steps of ages led;
In the eyes Of maidens lifted to the
pleading eyes Of men
Flash the shyly timid glances that
have leaped and died again
When the earth was in its cradle,
While the love-impassioned
tongue
Tells to Love the blissful story that
was told when Time was
young;
For the shyly. whispered answer, told
in trembling tones and low,
Is the speech that tinkled golden on
the harp of Long Ago.
And the bowl remains unbroken
though the sped years sap the
wine:
Though the grapes of Love be gath
cred, Springtime thrills the
budding vine:
And the path by lovers trodden in the
ecstacy OF son2
Soft the skies breathe benedictior and
the muse of the air
Swell and tell a bridal chorus as the
troth is .pligl1ted there;
'Tis the song through untold ages by
the chorused angels sung,
For the world is growing older, but
the heart Of Love is Dung
