Mrs. Wilkins famous story
has brought forth one of the
cleverest and most amusing
characters of the "David Ha-

literature has ever produced.
"Doc Gordon" is a man of
mystery even to the villagers
and farmers among whom he
passes his days. The story of
the latest horse trade is one of
the most amusing and interest
ing that has ever been told.
Strangely enough the novel has
a thrilling, tragic sequel wich
adds new and strange interest
to it.

Store Closed at 1 O'Clock.

The new cases bought by us
some time ago for use in the
store have arrived. We will be
busy putting them in all this
week. There are about 1000
running feet of these cases in
all. When they are properly
placed in the various depart
ments the store will be i'm
proved greatly-so much in
fact that you will be surprised
at the result.
The work of installing the
cases will cause some slight
disarrangement of depart
ments. But we will take one
department at a time only, and
the inconvenience to customers
will be very slight.
We promise our friends an
almost entirely new store be-
fore the fall oening, which
takes place during the latter
part of the month.
The Proverb Contest which
ended this week exceeded in
proportion and general inter
est all of Our expectations. The
number of people who come to
the store on Friday morning
to hand in their proverbs was
the best evidence of the popu-
larity of the contest. From out
of-town friends there also came
a surprisingly large number of
answers.
The work of opening the en-
yelopes in progressing rapidly
and the winners Of prizes will
be announced in a few days.
Please remember that he have
over two thousand envelopes
to open, each containing it's
quota of twenty-five answers.
To do justice to all we must
take plenty of time for the task,
but the winners will be made
known just as soon as possible.
An interesting exhibit of os-
trich plnmes in their natural
condition is made in one of our
windows as a feature of the big
sale which takes place here to-
morrow. These plumes are
shown just as they are taken
from the ostrich. The very
best and most expensive ones
come from the female bird.
We have some here from young
and old birds, assorted in va
rious ways as to color and val
ue. The goods are not for sale,
but the exhibit is well worth
seeing.
The Friday half holidays
which this store has given to
its employees during the
months of July and August
ended with that of last Friday.
These holidays have been a
source of rest and recreation
for our sales-people and have
been appreciated greatly by
them. We believe that the Big
Store is in better shape to serve
customers during the coming
season by reason of these holi-
days. Next Friday the store
will remain open from s CLOCK
until 6, the same as on all other
days of the week, with the ex-
ception of Saturday.
