the propriety of the
New Kind of Store

1t never was and never will
be a So called Department
Store, with a snlattering of
everything, including drugs,
groceries, meats and nolasses,
and in former times selling in
toxicating liquors, as Depart
nlent Stores did.
From it's inception we were
far beforehand in bringing to-
gether under one roof, for the
convenience of the people and
saving of time, large and full
stocks of everything the peo-
pie wanted, including dry
goods, mems, women's and
children's apparel, hats. shoes,
hosiery and underwear, gen
tlemen's furnishing goods.
books, household furniture,
kitchen and household utensils
of every kind, china, glass and
silverware, bedding, lamps,
upholstery goods, jewelry,
toys, pianos and organs, con-
fectionery.
All these in complete assort-
nents and much appreciated
by people who wasted no time
or strength in finding all their
needs

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, May 30.--Dr.
Harlow Shapley, the astronomer who
recently came to Harvard from the
Mount Wilson Observatory in Califor-
MIA, announced to-day that he had made
discoveries which reveal the universe
to be thousand times greater than
ever before conceived by scientists.
BY doing so he has relegated the
earth to place one thousand times
| less important than it has heretofore
occupied. And, instead of being in the
"center of things" he estimated it to
be something like 100000, ,000,0 ,000,0 ,000,-
100000 miles from the center of the
universe.
DR.. Snapley is a comparatively young
| astronomer, yet he has won a high
is a graduate of the University of Mis-
souri, and of Princeton. He was identi-
fed with the Mount Wilson Observatory
for seven years.
BY triangulation, taking the distance
between sun and earth as a base, vast
distances have been recorded until
such lines have been extended hun
dreds of light years and even to the
border line measurement, the Pleiades.
LHtSe SAINT leldueS are scarcely LII
the front yard of Dr. Shipley's galaxy
which he has measured and found to be
in length about 100000 light years from
end to end. 1t is super-milky way.
A light year-the distance a beam of
light will travel in 365 days--is 6,000,-
000,000,000 miles. 1t takes but eight
minutes for light to come to the earth
from the sun, 93,0o0,o00 miles away.
DR., Shapley has proved that the sun,
the little speck Of light around which
a tiny shadow called the earth re7aA
wolves, is sixty thousand light years off I
center. He has caused our proud SOLAR
system to take a long sidereal side step
into insignifcance.
PERSONALLY I am glad to see man
sink into such physical nothingness,"
said the scientist, "and it is whole
some for human beings to realize of
what small Importance they are in COM
parison with the universe" DR.. Shap-
ley appeared enthusiastic over the fact
that he has reduced the size of man a
thousand times.

This was Mr.. Blacksnake's chance,
and with rush he was off like shot,
for Mr.. Blacksnake moves very fast,
indeed, He was as angry Snake as
ever lived, but also he was a badly
frightened one. He felt that he had
been cheated out of a dinner, but it
was better to lose a dinner than to
furnish some one else with one. SO
Mr.. Blacksnake glided away at his
best speed, and was out of sight be-
fore the twins got their mouths
closed.
1t was useless to try to follow him,
and they knew it; so, with n sheepish
air, they turned to see what Mother
ting up and shaking with laughter
as she kept her eyes fixed in GER
tain direction. The twins looked to
see what she was laughing at. Then
they, too, sat up and laughed and
laughed.
What were they laughing at? Why,
at the way Old Mr.. Toad was getting
away from there. Hop, hop, hop, hop,
hop, hop he went, and he was in such
a hurry that once or twice he fell
over his own feet. Not once did he
look behind him, and he didn't even
watch in front of him. 1t seemed as
II there was just one idea in Old Mr.
Toad's funny head, and that was to
see how far and how fast he could
hop. The result was that he bumped
his nose against tree, landed once
on messy log he didn't see at all
and tumbled off on the other side.
landing on his back, and did lot of
other funny things. But he kept on
going. And, somehow, the twins vera
glad they had been the means of set
ting Old Mr.. Toad free.

The Twins See Funny Sight
BY Thornton w. Burgess
Tbs only iohea the greatest need is
That one finds out hoaV great his
speed is. Old Mr.. Toad.

Buster Bears lively little twins.
Boxer and Woof~ Woof, had felt very
foolish and much put out when Bluff
err the Adder had darteG between
them and, while they were getting in
the way of each other, had slipped in
hole between the roots of a tree to
safety. They tried TO dig him out,
but roots were III the way and hurt
their toes, so they soon gave it up
and started on with Mother Rear.
And neither they nor Mother Bear
saw Old MIR. Toad leave his hiding
place and start out to get as far
away as possible from Buffer the
Adder.
Now, Mother Bear and the twins
were not bound anywhere in particu.
lar they were just roaming about.
30 presently Boxer turned back and
wandered off in the direction Old Mr.,
ioad had taken. Presently an ex-
eIted squeal from Boxer brought Woof-
Woof and Mother Bear over to see
what he had found.
AT nrst Boxer was sure that he had
found MIR. Biacksnake, whom he had
once seen. He was stretched ont
with his head hidden behind some
leaves. Boxer stole nearer, so as to
see better, and it was when he got a
view OF Mr.. Blacksnake's head that he
squeaied. He didn't think it was Mir.
biacksnake now. The truth is. he
didn't know what to think. This
thing that looked like a Snake had
legs! Yes, sir, it had legs, and those
legs We're where his head should bel
AT one end was long slim tail and
at the other end a pair of legs that
were kicking somewhat feebly. Who
ever heard of a Snake looking like
What is it?" cried woof-woof
DANCING about in as much excitement
as Boxer. i''
Its. Snake with legs in place of
g mead! " cried Buster.
Don't let it get away!" shrieked
Woof- Woof, as the strange tlhing
started to crawl off.
Boxer got in front of it. Then this
strange thing began to thrash from
side to side and squirm and twist
and turn, ali the time shaking the
end with the two legs. Watchine his
chance, Boxer struck it Just back of
those kicking legs. An astonishing
thing happened. Old Mr.. Toad sud-
denly, appeared and started off hop.
hop, hop, hop, hop, hop without even
a look behind him! Az the same time
Mr. Blacksnake's head appeared in its
proper place! 1t was all so sudden
and unexpected to the twins that
they simply stood still with their
mouths wide open.

adaptable for almost any
