but reaches a class Of people out Of
town who have not heretofore been
appealed to for trade through the col.
umns Of the daily paper. This plan Of
giving our weekly subscribers two

has proved to be very popular and
our liberal offer is bringing In numbers
Of new subscribers daily. YOU GET

 My good man, you appear to have seen better days. Here's trifle to buy breakfast" Whereupon she handed
  bank Then she continued: T will also sec that you get your dinner. and shall raise subscription for you among my friends"
 Thomas Goutts thanked his benefac- tress profusely. and said he would be sure to be found upon the same bench at dinner time. He then bowed pre- foundly to the lady and returned to the Pavilion, whence. in the course of dinner he slipped away and resumed his former position on the bench.
 Presently the benevolent lady reap peared. and with a number of lady friends.
 'Ah." she cried, there's my distress ed old man. There sits the poor old fellow for whom I asked your charity.
 That" exclaimed one of the ladies. why. that's Mir. -"
 But before she could utter the great bankers name the Prince of Wales himself appeared from behind, and. to the amazement of the benevolent lady, slapped the poor old man" on the back and shouted:

In fine Shoes we have the celebrated Clapp, but not. go- ing to praise them this time.
 In the popular priced line for $3.50 and $4.00 we would like to tell you what a shoe maker told us. That they had the best sole leather in them he had ever seen and was sur- prised thereat.
 Our $2.50 and $500 ones, of which fresh supply received, are worthy of attention.
 For $2.00 we sell a machine sewed shoe, either plain or tipped and among the latter some good looking ones for the money.
