SPRING HAS COME.
The Hart and Houston Store Ready to
Supply FASHIONS Demands.

Seasons may come and seasons may
60 but the Hart & Houston store goes
on forever, and grows better and
brighter continually. Wednesday and
Thursday OF this week were set apart
for opening days for the spring season
OF 1904. The people have become so
accustomed to attending these open
ings that a down-pour OF rain could
not keep them away Wednesday, and
when the sun shone brightly Thursday
it found hundreds Of fashionable wo-
men from this city and nearby towns
struggling to get into this emporium
and see the numerous new creations
that had been gathered there by an ex-
pert buyer for their adornment and
comfort.
The store has been prettily decorat'
ed with Colonial effect, the color
scheme being white and lilac. The
different departments are appropri-
ately and literally represented in the
display and many expressions Of ad
miration were heard as the merry
throng passed by, lingering to exam
inc and make purchases or listen to the
music that filled the room.
The millinery department, as usual
was the greatest attraction, and here
Miss Mehrting had arranged to please
all corners. The picture hats we're beau
tiful creations for women, and were
much admired.
Up stairs the ready-to-wear depart
ment was crowded all the time, and thu
garments displayed were equal to thos,
shown in much larger cities. This stor,
is making feature of this department
and is constantly increasing the line
until it has grown hey cnd the expecta
tions Of the firm, but they are willing
that it shall continue to expand.

A sToRRs VISIT TO BuILTLEss.

March 1Sth, 1904, was an eventful day
for us. 1t was just two months after
the fifteenth anniversary of our mar
riage, and three days before THE Com.
Er's twentieth anniversary, but, most
important of all, it was the day we re-
ceive precious gifts from DR.. Miller.
On this day he brought "pink doll,
as described by the next least of our
household, but who, in reality, was the
sixth daughter, not to mention the nu'
merous sons, this kind-hearted old gen

play with.
The coming of the stork to Builtless
has become so frequent that we con.
cluded to investigate, and we found
that this wise old bird had been camp
inc on orr trail and had built nest in
the attic. We were going to drive il
away. but our wife wouldn't hear to it.
After all, this bird has been very kind
to us in the selection of infants, and if
our subscribers will only pay portion
of their accounts, we will manage to
provide for the little ones. Don't hes
