Chicago.-John Boland of 100 West
Twenty-second street was thousand
miles from Chicago in his dreams
sleeping on a chair on the back porch
when a large Angora goat, with 6
snowy beard and a determined ex
preston, butted him off the chair and
into wakefulness.
Boland ran a marathon to the wood
shed just in time to feel the impact
of the goat against the door. Mem
bers of the family, aroused by his ap
peals for aid, telephoned the police
and Charles Tickey, a brave patrol
man, responded.
Hickey learned with ease to distin
guish between both ends of healthy
goat. AS he CROPPED about in the dark
yard something went amiss. He be
lieves that he collided with the goat
At any rate, he sustained a terrific
shock where the high cost of living
is most felt.
Neighbors notified the police again
this time that a riot was in progress
They also suspected a Mexican in
vasion and a decisive battle in the
Boland back yard Policemen who
crowded a responsive patrol wagon
6educed the fact that the goat had
disappeared, as they failed to sus
tain the shocks that almost sent
Hickey to the hospital.
Boland, who has forsworn the chair
On the porch for sleeping purposes
told the police he did not know what
kind Of an animal he had to deal with
He almost suspected that a white ele.
plant was loose.

Toilet Wash.

If it is necessary to cleanse the face
without the use of water, good toilet
wash is desirable. One may be made
by mingling half an ounce of almond
oil with half pint of rose water, and
TO the mixture adding five drops of oil
of tartar, and stirring TIE whole up
until thoroughly blended.

shade of color This may easily be
done by turning material over the
edge Of the jar, and fastening it on
inside with mucilage, and repeating
the process underneath Should the
jar be too deep for the hairpins, it
may be filled with little cushion of
wool covered with net, which may be
fixed by a drop or two Of mucilage
at the bottom Of the jar.

VISITING NURSE
kEEDSASSISTANT

Last evening a meeting of the direc-
ors of the Visiting Nurse association
was held at the home of Mrs. Cynthia
Woodruff The work of the visiting
nurse has increased so that an assist
ant has been necessary and for the
last four months the Helpers circle OF
Kings Daughters has been employing
one. Now the directors find that they
must, if possible, provide funds to
regularly employ an assistant TO Miss
Giles. The finances of the association
are rather low and the further help of
the public must be obtained. Those
who know anything of the work of the
association and Miss Giles must real
ize how worthy is the cause and it is
hoped that more may become interest
ed.
Following is the nurses report for
the past month: 2S7 calls; 46 patients
taken care of under 10 different physi-
clans, as follows: Drs. Freytag, Snive-

Harmed & Won Maur's is an Import
ant factor in the distribution of mer-
chandise to the thousands OF families
living within a radius OF a hundred
miles. Under one roof are SIS individual
stores combined into one great unit,
possessing the combined buying power
of all; each sharing the expenses Of
the other, enabling all to do business
at a lower expense, making possible
the distribution of merchandise at
lower prices than otherwise.
A progressive store Is a convent
ence and a benefit to the people of a
community; a factor in it's growth. A
modern store helps more than any
other one influence to develop manu-
features and by economy Of distribu-
ton widens the lists of comforts and
Injuries of the mass of the people
and makes the buying of goods abso-
lutely safe to even the most inexpe-
rienced. Merchandising has risen
above the plane Of a mere storekeep-
ing The business Of assembling and
distributing goods has developed into
a science. The world is the field OF
research for the modern merchant.
and products Of all nations Of the
earth are his study.
The theory and practice or the Har-
ned & Won Maur store is fair dealing
and recognition Of the fart that the
satisfied customer and employe are
potential assets in it's success.
AS it stands today it is a monument
to the combined efforts and ideas OF
the individuals-the boys, the girls,
the men. the women, past and present
who form the organization.
II we are to Judge the future by the
record and achievements Of the past,
the Tri-Cities are assured OF a pro-
gressive store-one which will keep
pace with the growth and require
ments of the community.
The toast given to the members of
the firm by Mr.. Easson was as fol-
lows:
To me. this is a beautiful exhibi-
tion-this meeting of employe and
employer. If we were to separate now
and go to our several homes we would
all agree, | am sure, that this has
been a most enjoyable occasion.
This gathering would be incom-
plete, however, if we did not give ex-
preston to our sentiments and pur-
poses that brought us here tonight.
We have met here to express our
respect, admiration and esteem for
our honored guests. Not that they
have won glory on land or sea in
carrying their country'S flag to vic
tory, nor have they gained fame in
exalted official stations, but men, who
in the private walks of life, have act
ed so well their part that they have
achieved success, reflected glory on
their names and brought happiness to
their wives and families, and why by
their energy, industry and enterprise
have contributed in no small measure
to the upbuilding of the city of Dav-
export. We can truthfully say Of

Store First Opened In 1887.
Prior to entering in business in Dav-
export, r. H. Harmed, c. ]. Won Maur
and E. c. Pursel had an efficient train
ing in the dry goods business at
Wilkes-Barre. Pa. under a firm OF
thorough-going Scotch merchants
Ambitious to be in business for
themselves, they began. looking for
suitable location. They were i'm
pressed with the possibilities Daven-
port offered.
The morning of April 2, 1887, wit
messed the opening of their small dry
goods store under the name of Har-
ned, Pursel & Won Maur All these
young men possessed was invested in
that little 20x75 feet store. Thus be
gan the notable career Of expansion
and development that has continued
for a quarter of a century. The char
acter, methods and policies of this
store haxe eXerted a marked influence
on the development and Improvement
Of the dry goods business in this
vicinity.
Two years after the opening of the
store Mr.. Pursel died, the result of an
accident. Later the name Of the firm
was changed to Harmed & Won Maur
as it now stands
A buying office was opened and
regularly maintained in New York
Cordial relations were enjoyed with
the leading importers that were in
valuable to Harmed & Won Maur in OBJ
tanning foreign merchandise.
During the year 1896 the corner a.
| Second and Harrison streets. where
, the store now stands, was bought, anC
two years later three-story building
S6x150 feet, was erected.
In January, 1911, work was begun
for the erection of three more stories
on the top of the store building. This
! addition was finished and opened fol
business in September, 1911. Will
the completion of this addition Har
ned & Won Maurs took it's place a
the forefront among Iowa retail stores
! Probably no other institution more
clearly typifies the progress of the city
/ during that time. Harmed & Vol
Maur's embodies to a high degree O
| development the essentials of a mod
ern store-good merchandise, conven
