Ioo2-Ioo7
s Years of Growth

Five years ago next Monday, on
April 7, 1904, the present firm took
over this store. At this time the
business was all quartered in the
present north store. February l,
1908, the store south was added and
the variety of merchandise was in
creased by the addition of dress
goods, wash goods and draperies.
During the summer of 1904 the
large basement under the north store
was entirely rebuilt, furnished and
opened to the public Sept. with a
new line-complete stock of women's
and children's ready-to-wear gar
ments.
Rapidly outgrowing our room, the
entire second floor over the north
store was secured, the main floor
stores re-arranged, and on March I,
1905, the Ready-to-Wear department
found its present home in this large,
handsome, we'll lighted second floor
addition.
In five years the size of the store
has quadrupled, the stock and vari-
ETY. more than doubled.
Public support has been hearty and
continuous, and for this generous as
sistance we assure all of our most
sincere appreciation.

Motto For a Cemetery.

Grand Recorder Feor, of the Mass
achusetts A. o. U w., tells this story
as showing the position of fraternal
insurance:
A merchant who had amassed a
large fortune retired from business
and returned to his native town, IN
the western part of the State, to spend
his remaining days. He made many
valuable gifts to the town, finally pre-
senting to it tract of land, surround
ed by a handsome wall and having a
splendid arched entrance, to be used
as a cemetery. In this he took great
pride and often walked out to view it.
One morning, while thus engaged,
be met at the entrance Pat Clancy,
the village wit. After some desul-
tory talk he said "Pat, there is only
one thing lacking to make this GENE
terry complete; that is motto to be
inscribed on this gateway. What
would you suggest as suitable In
scription ?"
Pat scratched his head for a mo-
ment and then said :"How would
this dove have come to stay P'"-

According to DR.. William 81. Max
we'll, city superintendent Of schools Of
New York, and DR.. John J. Cronin,
assistant medical inspector to the
Board of Health, it has been conclu-
sively demonstrated that surgery can
transform a bad boy into good one.
The operation was performed recently
upon pupil in school on the lower
East Side, whose name is withheld.
The boy, who is about IA years old
and the son of poor parents, has lon g
played truant, neglected his lessons
and, when forced on pain of corporal
punishment to attend school, was slow
and stupid. He smoked cigarettes
almost necessarily, displayed surly
temper and in his contact with other
children often developed marked vici-
business. he was an "all.round bad
boy.
The boy was in danger of expul-
zion, when DR.. Maxwell took per-
sonal interest IN the case. Suspect
ing something abnormal about the boy,
be requested the Board of Health 10
examine him.
DR.. Gronin found that the boy was
suffering from adenoids, a fungus or
spongy growth in and back OF the nose,
which seriously impeded the breath
ing function. Precedents showed that
such affections have caused an irrita-
ton of the nerve cells. which was
readily communicated to the brain
and retarded mental operations.
At the suggestion of DR.. Cronin, an
operation was performed and the
adenoids were removed. The boy
was then sent back to school and
watched without his knowledge. Soon
he became more cheerful, lost his
surly manner and displayed willing
ness to frolic with the other pupils in
a friendly manner. In few months
the boys general health grew notice
ably better. In response to a kindly
suggestion, he stopped smoking cigar
cites and showed a readiness to study.
He is now regarded as one Of the
model pupils.

Good Advice.

The West Virginia Legislature will
meet next January, and as there will
not be sufficient Democrats in that
body to accomplish any party legisia-
ton, we suggest that the minority work
solely in the interest OF good govern
ment and for the Improvements OF our
laws. After all, the best way TO gain
party advantage is to honestly labor
for the general good.-ShepAerdsfo1N
Register.
That's good advice, brother Sny-
der, and we fully endorse what you
say. A small minority in a legisla-
tive body can often accomplish much
good by opposing bad measures, but
opposition simply for the sake of OPP
position is unwise, unpatriotic and
shortsighted. The Democratic mi
nority in the next Legislature should
be alert, watchful, always on guard
that the "nigger in the woodpile
may be always discovered, hauled out
and exposed to public view. In this
way the minority may be of great
service to the people. But where
meritorious legislation is proposed, as
for instance for the amendment and
betterment of the new tax laws, the
aim of the minority should be to lend
the helping hand rather than to offer
a mere captioua opposition Green
brier Independent.

Thrusting the point of an umbrella
into the eye of an Infatuated bull
probably saved the life of Miss Mary
Mills, Shiremanstown, four miles
from Harrisburg. Pa Miss Mills,
who was attired in a bright red dress,
was walking down the street of that
town, when the bull spying the dress,
broke away from his owner and chss-
ed her for about block. He
knocked her down, and it was while
rolling on the pavement that she was
able to jam the point of the umbrella
into the eye of the animal. The pain
Disconnected the animal for a moment
and gave the young woman time to
escape.

As the result Of swallowing live
chameleon as an advertisement, Louise
Douglas, formerly well known opera
actress, died at Omaha, Neb.. recent
ly. An hour before her death two
live chameleons crawled from the
woman's neutrality-suspicious. say her
body is alive with the little reptiles.
Two years ago Louise Douglas, whose
real name was Mrs. Harry F. Lee,
swallowed chameleon and received
much advertising therefrom. But
soon afterward she began failing and
left the stage. She has been in a
hospital in Omaha for more than a
year. The nurse at the hospital in
which the woman died is authority
for the story that two of the reptiles
crawled from the dying womsn's

The society woman who has pined
for complexion of milk or roses will
have ser amo.iion gt .lifsd this win
ter.
A London expert has solved the
mystery Of tattooing blush on the
cheek without injury to the. skin or
fear Of blood-poisoning.
The process is quite painless" be
explained. "The needle only enters
the skin one. sixteenth of an inch, and
the operation is go rapid that no in.
convenience is felt.
The vegetable coloring which is
injected under the skin is quite harm
less. and really possesses antisepuc
properties which render the patient
immune from ordinary skin diseases.
Two sittings are necessary as a
rule, but in some cases three of four
visits are required.
1.-THE effect for few days is not
pretty. The complexion passes from
pink to red, and finally to peculiar
brick-dust color. In three days this
color fades, and the delicate pink
makes its appearance.
ut is absolutely impossible to rec
ognize that color has been injected un-
der the skin, and the nature of the
color is such such that sudden blush
will deepen it, while fear or Hines,
will decrease it"

Just nine days ago two strangers ap-
preached Julius Greenburg, at 04 La

and avarice by telling him that they
had al last discovered the formula for
melting a small quantity Of gold with
larger amount OF iron. which would
come out OF the crucible after eleven

to Increase his store, was a little donbt-

verting his gold and twice as much iron

The men accepted a neat sum for their
troubles and told Greenburg TO let the
Dot simmer eleven days. after which

three times as much gold as he had
