For
It,.

No opportunity like this
ever was or ever will be
offered in this county.
Because no such magnifi-
cent assortment and high
quality of goods was ever
gotten together in this
vicinity. Nothing spared.
Every mans suit, boys
suit, childs suit, panta-
looms etc., will be labeled
with a ticket, every ticket
will be marked with the
reduction that goes on the
suit. Each ticket will be
marked $1.OO, 200,
800, 400, 800, 600,
700 or 500 as the suit
in question may call for.
No prices will be
changed prepara-
tory to making the
cut. Come in and
see us do it.
For example if a suit is
originally marked SO 90
and has on it a sale ticket
marked $500 it will sell
for $500. If a suit is
marked originally $1,000
and has a sale ticket mark
ed 800 it will mean
So 90 off and will sell for
5000.
We do this so you can
see for yourselves and
make your own reductions.
Remember
in measuring a bargain,
the style, the quality and
desireability of the mer-
chandise must be taken in
to consideration.
We have the style and
quality of merchandise
you want. No ficticeous
values. Impossible to hit
all bargains here. You
cannot afford to let this go
without investigating.
Your money back if you
want it.

A HUMOROUS and fanciful tale of
~ a quaint inland pilot and navi-
gator is being served out to the
deep sea masters" just to keep them
good natured The story so glibly told
by the inspectors is gift. due to a
visit which one of the Maine inspec-
tors made to his Gotham brethren in
the course of official business. and will
stand for many months to come as q
reminder to local steamboat captains
that the Pine Tree state turns out d
few good ones" yet.
While the local board in Bangor, Me-.
was closing up last years work it was
notified that a steamboat was in oper-
alton upon Poplar lake, small sheet
of water far up in the state of which
they had never heard, much less of the
craft.
One of the force was sent up there
to make the necessary inspection, as
a small portion of the lake was in
Canada. making 1t International waters
and under the jurisdiction of the Uni
ted States officers instead Of the state
inspectors, as in the case of inland
waters.
The official was gone nearly a week.
and returned much jaded. He reported
that after penetrating miles of un-
broken wilderness he had discovered
the lake and the steamer" He said
that there was a logging operation go
ing ON in the vicinity and that the log
ging boss, in order to get his supplies
across, had constructed rough scow
which was little more than a box Of
planking.
Then an ingenious Yankee foreman
had rugged up a propelling gear from a
decrepit donkey engine and boiler. The
rear axle and wheels of an OK cart
had been provided with paddles and
the whole connected with several
lengths OF ice elevator chain.
1t was probably the crudest craft in
