rocker and fine Umpire couch for
Uncle Bill, and also one of those elegant
$1,000 golden oak finished bed room
sets for the servant girl, and didn't for
get most convenient and ornamental
writing desk for chubby John" They
also bought handsome china closet
and had some picture framing done at
Fioyd's.
"A pretty good start" said the old
man, and now we will go around to the
L. Frank Ireland Co.'S big store for our
hardware, stoves, tinware, ETC." Here
Fannie's housewifely instinct had full
play among the marvels of kitchen APP
paratus. "There is not an establish
ment in this section that carries more
comprehensive stock of household furn-
ishings than the L. Frank Ireland CO..
remarked Uncle Bill, ''every possible
piece OF kitchen furniture from tin
dipper to cooking range is here in all
styles and varieties. If Fannie fails to
accomplish wonders in the culinary
art it will not be for the want of super
Tor cooking utensils, for she purchased
Majestic steel range made at st. Louis
is, Mo. and also Favorite hard coal
stove and other articles for her home,
while..J Ohm bought some Boydell Bros.
paints, furnace, Peerless wire fence
and left an order for eavestroughing.
"But look here, Uncle,n interrupted
the young man as they reached the
street, "what about coal? We've got
the stoves, but | reckon they won't be
of much service without fuel We
cannot keep warm on love alone, can
we?' 81 am glad you mentioned it,
replied Uncle Bill. "Buying so much
in one day kinder befuddles fellow
Fortunately, however, ii is only short
distance down To the l.. &. Epson Co.'S.
office nearly opposite the Express Office
with yaIds next 10 Purdy's elevator, as
they are my favorite dealers and sell
good coal that burns up clear and leaves
no klinkers. They screen coal to make
it clean so j will buy my coal from
this new and hustling firm. They sell
hard and soft coal and always give full
weight andsprompt delivery and now
is the time TO lay in your winters sup

Go.
"Uncle BILL said. Fannie, 81 shall
be SO lonesome here without a piano
in our home. is there any person here
who sells pianos?p "Well, | should
think so! There is w. ID. Pond, who's
store is on Bridge street, who is gen.
eral agent for the celebrated "Hender-
son" and the 'Vose d Son. pianos.
"Why, those are both splendid pi-
anos,n said Fannie, sand are among
the finest pianos made Uncle Bill
was seen TO examine his pocketbook
rather lugubriously. 81 think / can
afford it" said he, and | admire
your selection of pianos, as | am told
that they are the best, and the best
is always the cheapest in the end. =
While at w. ID. Ponds store their
attention was called to the fine line
of instruments in stock which he is
selling very cheap considering quality,
while Fannie soon selected the COW
eted piano with its beautifully artistic
design of case and sympathetic and
brilliant quality of tone and many
other good points. Mr.. Pond also sells
the Ann Arbor Organs, small musical
merchandise and sheet music, the
Columbia Photograph and indestruct-
ible records; Sewing Machines and
Bronze monuments.
"By the way,n remarked Uncle Bill,
as they reached the street, 81 must
