Second week of the AUGUST FURNITURE SALE
finds stocks complete in dining room, bedroom and par
lor furniture. Great quantities of new pieces have been
placed on all our floors within the last two or three days,
and such pieces are arriving constantly, and will continue
throughout the sale.
If There Is a Furniture Want in Your House.
Now Is the Time to Make the Purchase
If the furniture is not wanted now, arrangements may be made
to hold it for delivery during September and October.
The words Library Furniture hardly cover the meaning
of this great stock of furniture sold under the old and wen-known
title of library furniture. Times have changed, to a certain extent,
so that now we should speak of iving-room furniture, sitttng7roorn
furniture, loungingroom furniture, den furniture, etc, all covered
by the general title.
Included are easy chairs of almost every description, club
sofas, Davcnports, settecs and three and hve-pdecc suites, with z
range of covering fabrics from plain velours to the finest feathers.
And then these pieces may be had with mahogany or oak frames,
or covered all over with the fabric.

more effective than the ordinary blue

H KENTUCKIAN
WAS PLEASED
HE SECURED A GOOD HALF-SEc.
TON IN CENTRAL CANADA.

It is not only from Kentucky, but
from thirty-tive to forty different
States that there comes the expression
Of satisfaction from those who have
taken up lands in Central Canada as a
free homestead or have purchased
lands.
Mr.. E. K. Bell, of Frankfort, Ken
lucky, writes to a Canadian Govern
ment Official, and says: Il have just
returned from Alberta, overjoyed with
my trip. Your literature was very
flattering, but not half what l found it.
l bought a half section between Cal
gary and Edmonton, n mile from
railroad, near a good town. This is
the best country | ever saw or ever
expect to see. l will so in the spring
and get to work on my place. l think
1t is the coming Country of the World"
Some OF the papers describe the set
Ting of the Canadian West as be
coming a fever with a great many peo-
pie. The lure of its golden promises
is creeping into their hearts and many
are they who are answering the call
of that unsettled territory" This pa
per editorially cautions its readers to
exercise care and thought before NOV
ing to a distant country. This would
be a wise ~precaution, and is exactly
what the Canadian officials ask.
The success of the settler who has
made Canada his home for years is
the best evidence that can be offered.
And of the large number of Americans
who have made their homes in Can
ada, very few have returned. All are
satisfied.

other day a physician was called to
the Ullyatt home to see her. He ex-
amined the child with the aid of a

doctor had said.
"Nothin',' replied the little girl.
What did he do?" asked Mr.. Ull-

OF John Stephens. adventurer. a Massa-
chusetts man marooned by authorities at
Valparaiso, Chile. Being interested in
mining operations in Bolivia, he was de-
nounced by Chile as an insurrectionist
and as a consequence was hiding. At his
hotel his attention was attracted by an
Englishman and a young woman.

new world. Two men sat alone at a
small, round table smoking, between
them a sh~ort-necked black bottle with
glasses, and a scattered deck of greasy
cards. The one nearest where | stood,
tall, long-limbed, angular, his face thin
and made to appear more so from a
sandy chin-whisker, had his knees
swung over the arm of his chair, a
bald spot on the top of his head shin

the lamp. His companion was consid,

small m~ustachas curled upward at
