Giles. We are gravely Informed that King
Peter is considering his decision In the
matter, but this is a euphemistic way of
putting it, The fact being, Of course, that
King Peter will only be too delighted to

Prior to his recognition by the car at

Servian monarch was the Ishmael of Eu-
ropean royalties. Nicholas, however, set
precedent, which was quickly followed
by the King of Italy and the Sultan of

OIL cloths, linoleums, stoves, refrig-
orators, etc.

thorough canvass Of the Western

able to buy the close outs of several
OF the largest factories in both mar
kets, Another splendid idea in con-
nection with this sale is the fact that
goods can be purchased now and will
be held and carefully stored until
the close of the vacation season. or
any future date desired. Payments
can be arranged for later.
