WE CLOSE AL DAY TUESDAY

Nearly every man and woman who buys
at this store seems surprised at our willing
ness to grant ANY concessions asked for.
Many seem to have a feeling when they first
come in that maybe there's a string of some
sort tied to our offer to sell OH easy terms and
at low prices.
But when 1t comes right down TO business
and they find that WE DO EVEN MORE THAN
WE PROMISE they do not attempt to conceal
their surprise and gratific alton. Now what we
want you to do is to test every word we have
just uttered. We positively enjoy hard tests

SYSTEM will Withstand the hardest of them all.

having robbed German merchant Of

strange declaration. She said that
her main object In life was to decoy
Germans and to rob them, She went
about with them to cafes and music
halls, and while affecting to be very.
interested in them she picked their
pockets. In this way she had an

Of exactly sixty-seven Germans,
and she was proud of It, AS her
reason for thus acting, the woman
said that in 1870 her family in Nor
mandy had been completely ruined by
the German invaders, who stole her
fathers cattle, pigs, fowls, and even
plate. She was then obliged to go
out as a dairymaid, but not being &C.
customed to servitude she came to
Paris, and began waylaying and rob.

LIGHTING LORE
AcETYLsNE EX 7ELs AS AN ILLU.
FdlNANT,
Gas For Lighting Formerly Confined to
Cities aud Large Towns, Now in GEN
eral Use In tho Country.

Gas For Lighting Formerly Confined to
cities aud Large Towns, Now in GEN
eral Use In tho Country.
The satisfactory lighting of suburban
ard country homes requires that the
means used shall be convenient, safe,
economical and furnish brilliant, pen
etCating, effulgent light
Everybody admits that these are not
the characteristics OF the candle or
kerosene lamp. which. formerly, were
the only feasible means Of producing
light for domestic use in the rural dis
tricts.
For generations there was a crying
need, yearning for something better,
which was not satisfied. a few years
ago deliverance came in the shape Of
the chemical compound, Calcium Car
bide. from which, by the simple appli-
cation of water. the gas Acetyiene is
derived. Acetylene meets all the re-
quirements fully and admirably and is
being generally used.
Common lime and carbon in the form
or coke or coal are the raw materials
which, fused in IN intensely heated
furnace, make Calcium Carbide. and
there is no difficulty in obtaining it in
any part OF the country
The machine into which the Calcium
Carbide is fed and from which the
Acetylene is distributed through the
building to be lighted. is but little larg-
er than a thirty gallon milk can, and
of the same general form. 1t is easily
and cheaply installed, either in the cell
lar or in an outbuilding.
The light from burning Acetylene is
exquisite, and lighting experts agree
that it surpasses all other known illu-
minants. 1t does not faint the air nor
strain the eyes, and is not objection
able in any respect. Every up-to-date
rural residence should be equipped
with Acetylene light.

Pay Days in Norway.

In Norway on pay days saloons are
closed and savings banks open un.
til midnight. Servant girls hire for
half a year at time by contract
at public registry offices. There is a
telegraph box on every street car.
One writes the message, puts on the
right number of stamps, and drops it
in the box. Farmers can borrow
money from the government at three
per cent. There are practically no
illiterates. The average wage earn
ings are $SS a year. There are more
reindeer than horses, more sheep
than COWS.
