We are suiting more women with them
every day because their reputation grows with
them every day.
"QUEEN QUALITY" SHOES will re-
tain their shape longer and better than any
other ready-made shoe.
Why do more women wear ''QUEEN
QUALITY" than any other in all the world
It is not mere chance There must be a reason
for it.
You want quality You want variety and
neWness. You want them at a fair price.
It is instructive in women to want all these
things. And all these she gets when she buys
"QUEEN QUALITY" SHOES.
Every day we hear, "Your styles are stun
ming" and you would say the same thing, if
you saw them.
It is one thing to have pretty shoes and an
other thing to have them fit. "QUEEN QUAIL
ITY" SHOES make it possible for every woman
to be accurately fitted. In addition, the range
of choice is so varied that every taste can be
pleased. Let us show you the new styles, if you
have not seen them When you see them
you will be posted on the shoe fashions:
Of what use is your new gown if it does not fit
Yet how much worse your Shoes if they do not
fit. Your grace OF carriage is gone and whole
train of physical ills result.

was down at the agricultural depart

most of the correspondents in Wash.

was swapping some choice western
yarns for some more finished ones of

whether 1t was cold out in Seth's part

Shears { Sawbuck, Chicago
Story Of Farmer Hayrick's Experience with a
Big Catalogue and an Eastern House.

Shears and Sawbuck kept store
Such as never was before.
City folks they wouldn't sell,
Couldn't let 'em have smell.
Fetched their money-but by jing,
Couldn't buy blessed thing,
Couldn't meet 'em face to face
And then sell 'em with good grace.
Country trade was what they sought,
Folks who'd pay for what they bought
Fore they saw 1t, hide or tail.
They sent catalogues by mail
Out to every blessed one
Gittin mail at Postum Run.
We set up at night and read
When we'd orter been in bed.
Book was bout as big as sin
Had lot Of pictures in,
And list Of merchandise,
Every kind and every size
Givin' prices that they sworc
Knocked out every country store.
Looked so straight and seemed so true
| bit at it-Jim did, too
Jm's my neighbor cross the way,
Best man ever worked in hay,
Just let him top of stack,
Sheds rain like turtles back
Pleasure jest to see him work,
Never knew OIL Jim to shirk;
Swings scythe like it was play,
Love to watch him in the way.
Well, we like pair OF fools
Sent ofI-got some haydn tools.
Jim got harness and pillow,
l, a range-l see it now
Drat the thing, it was so light
Used II for a torch at night;
Throw'd the darn thing in the yard,
Use 1t now for renderin' lard.
Fore Jim used the pillow an hour
Found the blame thing wouldn't scour;
Tried his harness-broke a tug
Sought for solace in his Jug
In the cooler all that night
Jim reflected on his plight;
Ia the morning, Richard Stout,
Hardware merchant, bailed him out.
Jim said after that he'd stick
Close as bark to good OF Dick.
Since he left the Postum jail
Says he won't buy goods by mail.
Says Dicks cheaper, anyhow
Might have saved some on the pillow,
On the other goods some more,
AT his old friends hardware store.

Answer came one summer day.
Said they couldn't use our hay.
Couldn't use our oats or shOats,
Didn't like our billy goats.
When they needed truck tn eat
Bought II down on Water street
Sorry, but they must refuse
Anything but cash to use"

"Hate to trouble you again,

For your bunch Of cookie burrs.

Do him good, sirs, when you can
While our merchants sweetly sleep
