BEAUTIES OF THE SOUTH

The world is Just awakening to the fact that
South American women are beautiful and fasci
mating and that the palm for charm ana ioVell
ness is fast being wrested from their NoTtn
American sisters. Perhaps the most beautiful OF
all these new beauties come from Argentina. the
land of surprises and wonders, and they seem to
have found what Ponce de Leon sought further
north-the fountain of youth.
The Argentine women dress better, look bet
ter and have finer manners than any other woHl-
in the world. They enchanting creatures.
and even now Europe is learning of their great
charm and beauty. They fond of home life
and make ideal mothers, although they are not
domestic to a sordd degree. They are fond
Of society the women of the United States,
only they absolutely without the faintest
trace of sncbbshness which is probably due to
their breeding. They are wonderfully well in
formed and well bred women, and strangely
enough their social obligations are never such
as to interfere with their home life.
They pleasurelovtng people, fond OF
sic drama and entertainment. The latest styles
are brought over from Paris, which is RESPONSE
bic for the introduction of the first artists of
Europe, who are frequently heard in Buenos
Ayres before they to the United States.
The people of Argentina make less of their three
weeks sail to France than we do of our one
weeks sail They are very fond of Paris, and
adopt more customs and manners from the
French than from Americans or English.
The South American woman is becoming a
great factor abroad She has attracted the at
tention of shopkeepers for she is as rich as the
North American and even more lavish with her
money and grace, for she has no duty to pay on
her purchases and spends her millions with an
open hand. She loves rich and beautiful things
and wears her clothes well with great deal Of
dash and splendor, that the great modistes
and milliners have been turned away from the
North American beauty and her scrimping pur
chases because Of her duties and pouring all
their amiabty upon the bellies from Argentina
and Brazil, and Chile For Oh they are
rich! And they growing richer with their
mines and vast herds Of cattle and sheep and
their rubber and coffee plantations their new
railroads and real estate deals, and all sorts o.
other enterprises that make for sudden and vast
wealth in new countries
The rich South American woman makes Paris
her playground. One rarely finds her in London
She does not like England CT the English but
Paris and the French people just suit her as she,
like them, is of the Latin race with all the
warmth and gayety CT such people.

Mount Royal Once Active Volcano.

Mount Royal Once Active Volcano.
In the work on the Canadian North
ern railway tunnel the engineers have
found that Mount Royal. under which
the line will pass, was at one time
either an active volcano or was made
by lava being forced up through the
ground.
An interesting proof of the fact that
at one time a great glacier flowed
from the Laurentian mountains to the
ST. Lawrence river was found in the
small heading on Ste. Monique street,
This was a piece of Laurentian gneiss.
a rock peculiar to the Laurentian
mountains. and it is believed that in
the past this rock was carried down
by 3 glacier, which probably emptied
into the St Lawrence river not far

Pensions are not the only things
commanded and forgotten. An in,
QUisitive member of the British house
of commons was struck one day by
the presence Of a policeman in one
of the Hobbies. He wondered why
this particular lobby should always
have a guardian strolling up and
down and made inquiries. The rec.
ords of the house were searched and
it was found that fifty years previous
~, when the lobby was being decOrat,
ed, a policeman had been stationed
there to keep members from soiling
their clothes. The order never having
been couutermanded, the constable
had kept his beat for half a century.

Now, Listen!

We have over one hundred John Deere Buggies
and Spring Wagons in stock and just bought two more
cars this week. We want to sell every one of these be-
fore Christmas for we cant keep from thinking how
many happy families there would be if all these buggies
were out in service. Now, come in and buy them; we
do not care for breaking our stock; we can buy more.
Now, if you just can't get up the nerve to buy a new
buggy or spring wagon, we have several second hand
rigs that We will sell cheap. These secondhand rigs
are a good imitation of buggies and spring wagons that
have been traded in on a real buggy or spring wagon
yes, on Il John Deere. Sooner or later you will get a
John Deere; why not get one to start with. Now. md,

Who Hasn't Got a
John Deere Buggy
or Spring Wagon

And who can convince US that we do not want to sell
him one. Would also like to know how he manages to
keep peace in the family without n John Deere Buggy
or Spring Wagon. When your family sees your neigh.
bors gong to town, to church, or visiting in a John
Deere Buggy or Spring Wagon, doesn't it make you
feel that maybe You haven't done your duty? Oh, yes!
We know there was a drouth and that you haven't tie
money to spare, but to your family we want to say that
there is no excuse. for we will sell you one and give you
time enough to raise another crop before you have to
pay for it, and we are sure to have a good crop next
year, as we had such a bad one this year. Did you ev.
er see wheat look better: Look at your wheat now and
get an idea low your corn is going to look next year.
No, there is no excuse why your husband should not
have a Buggy CT Spring Wagon, and We know it would
make you mad if we accused him of being so silly or
contrary that he wouldn't buy II John Deere. Well, if
he does, there is one thing we believe you would have
good grounds for a divorce should you ever want one.

and that
Fort Smith Wago

Are sure going some. why, 40 you know tldt Win all
the wagons that we unloaded this summer they are
practically all sod and last week we bought two more
carloads. We do not mean ten wagons: we mean two
cars of thirty four wagons to the car, sixty. eight wagons
We sell this amount in about sixty days. Yes, they are
real wagons, not horse killers. Now, if you want a new
wagon, a wagon made of good material, a wagon guaran.
'teed to last as long as any wagon, a wagon that will run
light, get a John Deere or a Fort Smith. If you are not
able to buy a new wagon we have several second hand
wagons. Some of these wagons are practically new.
They have been traded in on John Deere and Fort
Smith wagons. Now, if you want one of these wagons,
We will tell you just what the parties that traded them
in told us, as near as we can. There is one kind that
the parties that traded them to us said that the worst
fault they had with them was post oak spokes and soft
pine hubs, but we understand now that this wagon
company has made some improvements on their wag-
ons by adding a full circle bolster plate AM a tool box.
This tool box is a great thing on a wagon that us, the
grade of material that they do, for if you start ON a five.
mile trip you are sure TO need some tools, and it is nice
to have them handy. and, as the company is sure you
will need them, they have prepared a place for them
mighty nice of them. indeed Now, they say that the
full circle bolster plate is a great advantage to the de,-
er. 1t helps to attract the buyers attention and gets
his mind off the post oak spOkes and soft pine hubs.
Now, you all know the wagon with the post oak spokes.
and soft pine hubs, the tool box, and the full circle boil
ster plate. Now, you also know tie other second hand
wagon We mentioned. The parties that traded them to
us said that the woest objections that they had to them
was that they could never haul anything in them, that
they run so hard they always had a load without put
ting anything in them. They said that these ought to
be a Lastly wagon for you would never overload them; if
you put on what you would on another wagon your
horses could not pull them. Another reason even fit
is empty your team could never run off and tar it up
no, they pull too hard for a team to run. You know that
there is a song about these wagons. This song has
been sung by hundreds OF dealers to hundreds of wag-
on users who now refuse to listen. The chorus is like
this: We know they used to run hard but they have II
new style skein and they run easy now. No doubt you
have heard the entire song. Now, if you need a wagon,
you need a good one, a wagon that runs right. That is
the kind that we sell.
