pie may be inclined to suspect that the
press agent had something to do with
the escape of Gertie's lamb, but we can
not believe that she would permit it to
be thus used for Interior purposes.
When the truth comes out we shall
probably be Informed the lamb got up
on a SOAP box. deftly unlocked the
stage door of the theater, fastened it's
silk ribbon carefully around its neck
and then rushed away to find a negro
who would be willing to drag it down
an alley. Having succeeded in getting
away once. the lamb will probably
continue to escape in every city to
which the show is taken. We earnestly
hope Miss Hoffman will try as brave
ly as she may ito avoid a nervous
breakdown as the result of the esca-
pedes of her unmindful pet.

of small streams is just beginning, but

sIock-A Strong Recommend and a
Guarantee Back Of 1t.

We have had Thanksgiving, Christ
mas and New Years and now we have
a cold wave. In order to overcome this
try some of the best coal that is sold
in the United States--kokomo block,
sold by Henry Weber only. We claim
for this coal more than any other coal
that we ever handled. 1t is stronger,
burns up cleaner, in fact. it is cheaper
at the price than any other coal that
is sold. Try it and be convinced. If this
coal is not what we recommend it, we
will make all wrongs right.

concrete bridge which will span the

of the soldiers home entrance. A spe-

Zines of the board and A. NJ. Clark, of

gate certain details relative to the
building site, and the probable amount
of filling necessary.

our success to one thing more than an

use the best possible materials in

any cheap material. OF course it costs
a great deal to use the best. but it
makes a big demand for the bread
