story of Deorepit Dog and How He
Repaid a Little Girls Kindness
by Saving Her Life.

Violet Amanda's eyes were az big as

her head as she rushed into the sitting
room. where Marcy and the boy we're
playing

Father was away and mother was
sick, so there was no one to hinder
them, and the children Immediately
made tracks for the kitchen.
Sure enough. under the sink In the
dark corner by the pipes was a dog
not black. but yellow. and his eyes
we're staring and bloodshot But
Marcy saw something more than this.
She saw the end OF a rope.

and the dog could scarcely breathe.
He covered as she touched him. but
made no effort TO run. Few animals

These annoupcements were received with deep interest and 1 regret, especially that of Mr. Van Rev. pen, who was widely known in the three upper classes because of his wide inter- est in literature, both as member of the News board and the Lit" board while in college.
 The preacher of the morning was Rev. Dr. J. G. K. Mcclure, of Chicago, who chose for his text Revelations 22. 3 and 4.

You pay $500 for a Derby when the town is full of Hats at $1.oS. Show windows display Ladies Gloves at 88 cents, yet you know of a S2.oo Glove that is worth S2 o0-and you won't be side tracked.
 Same with Canned Vegetables. The Corn we get Sl.80 for is worth it. It was put up to eat. No relation to B for a quarter" Corn that's just Canned Corn. We have Stringless Bean at 25 cents can. It's better than any Stringless Bean that you can get today-unless you have the run of ofahothouse. The Canned Asparagus that we offer below in three sized tins tastes nearer like fresh green vegetable than the Southern out-of- eaSon Grass that costs even more.
 To some minds, a can of Vegeta- bIes that the whole family will eat up and enjoyis betterinvestment, from any point of view, than an article that comes on the table only to be criticised and pecked at.
 Below we quote only the extra, top notch, most expensive Canned Vegetables that our stock contains because that's the kind that this talk refers to. We of course, have other good grades at very much lower prices-but that's another story
