An Era OF
Advancing Prices
As We Buy We Sell

Prices on almost all sorts of
merchandise have advanced
are still advancing-and we
think the end is not yet.
Our heavy purchases made
months ago. at old prices, are
not yet exhausted. 1t would
pay US better in a way to pack
them up al d hold them for
future selling. That way,
however, is not our idea OF
merchandising.
Irrespective of market adj
vances, we pass the goods out
at our regular per centage OF
profit satisfied to let the fut-
ure take care of itself.
To our customers, however.
we say; anticipate your future
wants.
Our stocks in Almost all
lines are unusually complete
and well assorted.
The new higher prices are
the exception here-on a very
few lines we have had to pay
the ruling high prices.
Not for many day, we hon
estly believe, will you be able
to supply your wants in Silks,
Dress Goods, Linens, Shoes,
Hosiery, Carpets, Rugs, Mus
lin Underwear. etc, at the
prices prevailing here now
Present stocks cannot last a
very great while. Every day
we will soon be ordering new
goods and paying he higher
prices and of necessity will be
compelled to charge accord
ingly.

certain day in 1773, got crowded out,
but the Partisan public, hearing of it,
made up Its mind that Lalande had

the earth and such panic ensued that
the police had to order the publication
of the paper to reassure the public

Why Pennnen Get Tired.

The average person has no idea how
much muscular effort is expended in
writing letter. A rapid penman can
write thirty words in minute. To do
this he must draw his pen through the
space Of sixteen and a half feet. In
forty minutes his pen travels a furlong
and in five hours a third of mile. In
writing an average word the penman
makes In the neighborhood Of sixteen
curves Of the pen. Thus in writing
thirty words to the minute his pen
would make $50 curves, $4,000 curves
an hour and s6,4OO,O0O in a year Of
300 days Of ten hours each. The man
who succeeded In making 100000
marks with pen In a month was not
at all remarkable. Many men make

A SLAB OF BLACK STONE.
Key TO All the Ancient Writings Of the
Egyptians. s s 4

IL. 90 o.
There is slab Of black stone in the
British museum which If you could
walk away with it and establish your
claim as the owner you could sell any
day for quarter Of d million and find
half a dozen money kings in England
and America ready to buy 1t. a
There Is nothing very striking about
this stone. 1t might be piece Of
black marble with some peculiar hero
glyphics upon 1t. But it is just these
hieroglyphics which make it SO valua-
BILE, because they are the key to all
the ancient writings of the Egyptians.
and without this stone, called the Ro-
setta stone, we should be unable to
read the Egyptian writings which have
been discovered from time to time. priv
Some French tourists found the Ro-
setta stone in Egypt and transported
/ 1t to Paris, where an Englishman took
a fancy to it for a garden ornament.
He paid 95 for It's sovereigns-and
got a treasure which you could cover
with gold and yet not represent it's
value, but till the day OF his death he
did not know what that bit Of stone
was worth. London World. ~
