would answer: mo. boss 81,
"'Then IN have to help you,' he
would roar, and give me ten, fifteen or
twenty dollars. But for Jesse James
I could not have kept up the school /"
Jesse James, was q mighty wicked
fellow, and committed many bold and
daring crimes, but it seems that after
all he had one or two good streaks in

at an English Gas Range

They call it cooker. In this country a
Gas Company must carry over 30 different
shapes of ranges. In London they have
but one-a boxlike affair with deep oven
that extends from surface burners to the
floor. The roast hangs on hook and the
drippings fall through the bottomless oven
into pan that sets on the floor underneath.
From our point of view it is rather a crude,
insanitary affair. Yet there are almost three
quarters of a million of them in use in
London. Without question Chicago house.
wives have all the best of it. We think our
new Composite" type of gas range is
miles ahead of anything they have in
Europe. Or miles ahead" of anything in
the range line ever built in this country.
The Composite" range makes it possible
to cook meal of seven sorts of food all at
once with one and the same fire. Thus
saving much time and fuel. No kitchen is
complete without range of this type. We
explain the good points of the Composite
and the small payment selling plan at our

stores. Or we will be pleased 20 send
