sure " DC gulueu Ilgnl IN your SSleC-
tons. You will find this firm pleasant
to deal with and their employees po-
lite and expert, while the prices cannot
be duplicated" 1t did not take Polly
long to tell a bargain when she saw
one. She got a handsome dress, with
all the necessary trimmings, and sew
eral other articles of fantastic dis
array so dear to the heart of every
woman.
"Oh mel Oh my!'' calculated Polly
as she noticed the shoe department,
what perfectly lovely slipper"
Yes" said Uncle Josh, that stock
can't be equaled in style and extent
in this section. Look it over and pick
out what you want and I'll foot the
BILL" 1t might have been policy not
to have extended that invitation, had
not Uncle Josh known what wise
economy it is to trade with The Leav-
enworth Mercantile Co for Polly found
goods and prices so seductive that she
purchased an outfit from pretty slipper
to handsome walking suit. Charley
invested in gents fine shoes, while
Uncle Josh INDUCED in stout boot,
with rubbers for the crowd.
While Uncle Josh was bordering
where to go next, Polly suddenly asked:
Uncle, where can I find the leading
millinery establishment" Just over
on the next street," remarked Uncle
Josh, and we will visit the Farms
worth Sisters. who by the way have on
hand one OF the completest stocks of
millinery to be found in the city. You
can get what you want there, the latest
styles and lowest prices being their
motto. Their good taste and expert
ence guarantees that when you have
purchased of them you have the thing
according to fashion and satisfaction
that your work has been done by
competent artist In few minutes
there never was a happier girl than
Polly, for she got perfect dream" of
a hat and the bill didn't scare Uncle
Josh, either.
And in the matter Of insurance, "
the old gentleman continued, that is
also of importance. You will want
risk on your new house and goods, but
you can't be too careful about getting
it in reliable agency. My old friends,
Adams & Carr, not only have the solid
est and best companies, but they are
expert and trustworthy underwriters.
They have a large number of COM
panies, all OF which belong to the old
reliable category, being well known for
their prompt and satisfactory adjust

with them" Charley agreed to attend
to the insurance matter at his earlist
convenience.
After this visit Uncle Josh suggested
a resort to some place of refreshment.
At the refreshment table the old man
waxed philosophical. Never neglect
your larder," said he. THAT important
adjunct to housekeeping controls mas
culine temper. To that end you must
patronize a grocer on whom you can
depend for honest goods. Through a
long term Of years have found D. M.
Thomas perfectly reliable. You will
find him a careful merchant, always
fully stocked with every possible thing
in the line Of staple and fancy groceries,
fresh and frstclass. No shelf-worn
goods there, while the prices are down
to brass tacks. To keep peace in this
family get all your groceries from him"
Yes, and I must have some sta
tionery, Uncle JOSH" quoth Polly,
and" Ives, and a Bible with
reasonably big family register" inter
rupted the old man. So we'll go to
G. w. Hathaway's bookstore. You'll
find many articles indispensable for the
parlor as well as the library there, and
as for variety, Hathaway has an une-

chases included miscellaneous books,
fancy stationery, all the latest parlor
games, and finding an immense assort-

newspapers, she subscribed, for every
thing in sight. Polly remarked to the
