found between the leaves of old books

closely in general structure except for
their minute size. But they have no

have. They attach themselves To other

A Letter to Woodson & Graham
as Agents.
TO ALL AGENTS:

We desire to have all agents who
are in a position to make imme-
dlate delivery of cars to purehas-
erS to advise us at once, as we are
giving preference TO the immediate
delivery business at the present
time. and intend to fill all such Or
ders throughout the territory before
shipping cars to agents for stock or
spring delivery orders.
The conditions this year are al
together different from any previous
year. and we trust that every agent
will take advantage of this notice
and hurry up his orders for imme-
date delivery so he can be sure of
making the sales that he should.
Those agents that wait are the ones
that are going to find it hard to get
cars when they sell them, so get
busy and get the orders for imme.
diate delivery and we will ship the
cars as soon as possible, but by all
means don't expect to get all the
cars you will want if you wait I'M
til spring.
We will not ship any cars at any
time without the customers signed
order being in our office before
shipment is made.

spurs. Magniticently wrought Turkish
pistols and knives were stuck In EN-
broidnrcd sashes that belted the fam
ing red coats. Long, gaudy thongs
with taSSels held the bags that con-
tanned their Indispensable pipes and
smoking materials. Their crooked
swords were immense, and on their
handsome heads they wore tall, black
caps Of lambs wool with ornaments
of scarlet and gold.
