The articulor Shopper

Old pieces OF furniture add luster
and beauty TO any shop. The shop

his place adorned with genuine antiques.
whether they be for sale or ornament
is to be cnvied. There are several
really wonderful pieces in quaint
little place up the street. They happen
to be for sale. but that only adds TO
their charm and interest.
One Is an early English chest OF
drawers. made OF curly walnut, with
the swell front. 1t is genuine Hep
pelwhite. inlaid with narrow strips OF
satin wood. and stands. an enticing
bargain in old furniture, on in French
feet. finished with the original old
brass handles. II is beautiful to look
at and is just the thing to build an
o!d-fashioned bedroom around
Another interesting antique in this
same shop is a Jacobean chest abou,
200 years old. 1t Is an ancient dover
cnest--"hope chest" il our modern lady

the linen and tne lace for their bridals
Now dover chest II was made

charming use has been perverted. and
for more than 100 years of it's exist
cnce il was lost. Where do you reckon
il was? Not hidden in q garrett. filled
with Spanish gold and French love
letters. but lost in hut in the noun
tains OF Virginia. where il was used
as a meal box. The line is not so finely
drawn to-day between hope chests"
and meal boxes. but IL seems a sad per-
version OF such a romantic piece of
furniture.
However. the sad story Of the dover
chest is at an end. we hope. 1t has
been rescued, and is all ready to do
service once more az place Of safe
Keeping for the linens and laces for a

This chest Is Tudor in design. and is

EEDERAL PURCHASE
BOOSTS OATS PRICES
No Maximum Will Be Placed
on This Grain; Corn and
Provisions Strengthened.

CHICAGO, Nov. 23.-liuge pur-
chasing OF oats for government ac-
count, together with authoritative
statements that no maximum price on
oats would be established, had a
STRENGTHENING effect today on the
value - all board of trade commodi-
ties Corn closed firm. Nc to I7sc
net higher, oats up l * 10 &c, and
provisions varying frop unchanged
to rise of 50 cents.
Oats jumped to new high record
prices for the season for the third
day in succession. The broad demand
was ascribed TO measures adopted 70
supply the needs of the entente gov
ernments. Meanwhile country hold
ers seemed afraid to sell. Their chief
reason appeared to be scarcity of cars
altho the government is shortly eN-
pected to increase the number OF cars
in the west to handle cereals, includ-
ing oats.
Corn prices reflected the pro
nounced car shortage and the fact
that unwefeome dampness and tenn.
perlturss prevailed.
Strength of grain and hogs lifted
provisions. Besides the market was
bullishly affected by liberal shipments
OF packing house products.
