JOLLY UNC E JOSH. His Generosity Toward His Newly Married Niece. FUNNY HAPPENIGS. A Realistic Romance of Rome With a Number of Busi ness Men “in It.” ■ [Copyright applied for W. S. G] “Miss Summers —Polly—I—er—dare I —” But the speaker took a header over bash fulness, only to hear a sweet: “Yeti, Charlie.’ “Can I aspire to—er—to—that is—’’ Again a lapse into silence, followed by an encouraging: “Yes, Charlie.” “Oh, if I might only hope to—er —to— ’’ Another failure of language. It was seemingly a hopeless case, and might have been, only for a demure: “Charlie, I’ve said ‘yes' twice, and if you mean it, I mean it too, and —and—” t And to this day that young man will insist that he popped th»question. All this happened away “up north” and it wasn’t long before there was a wedding. Not much longer before there came a letter from Polly’s Uncle Josh out in Georgia, who wrote effusely of his delight at her ex hibition of what he called “grit,” and he proposed that if the young couple would lo cate at Roms he would start them up in life as a wedding gift. Os course they accepted and were soon bidding their friends adieu, • • » e • **• A few weeks subsequent to the above conversation, a travel-stained party ar rived at Rome. Our friend Uncle Josh was in charge and he led the party straightway to a hotel. The Central said he, “is a typi cal $2 00 per day hotel of the best class. I have known Mr. M. Gomez the manager, for years, and he is mine host after mine own heart. A thorough business man, he is en dowed with that delightful intuition that makes a guest feel at home, comfortable, contented and in mighty good luck. The house is a marvel of convenience: the apartments are handsomely furnished ; the cuisine all that a superior chief and un limited orders on the market can make it, and the attendents polite and expert.” “After breakfast” began the old man “I am reatly to commence the fulfillment of -my promise: To expediate matters, I have ordered a conveyance from Jas. Doug las and Co.’s leading livery firm.” When the handsome carriage, with prancing horses and neatly dr ssed driver at the reins arrived, Polly expressed great de light. Continued Uncle Josh, “I can al ways get the best livery service of Douglas. The three ‘S’s,’ speed, safety, style is his motto. Messrs Douglas and Co. know just what the traveling public want and cater accordingly. So Charles, when desiring to take a business or pleasure drive yon “knowwhereto go for a team.’ “Having provided you with a cage foil your bird,” said Uncle Josh, “the first thing we’ll look after will be the furnish ing for it.” Hereupon Polly energetically declared that she had heard so much about Hanks and Roberts that she desired to go there. The result was that they were ushered into such a bewildering display that the girl was at first at a loss how to select. But she soon yielded to the seduc tiveness es a magnificent parlor suite, a bedroom set in oak (antique finish) that .would have done credit to old Antiquity herself. To this she added a dining-room set with all accessories, a complete kitchen •mitfit, and didn’t forget a most convenient and ornamental writing desk for “Hubby” Charles. *“A pretty good start,” said the old man, “and now we’ll go to Carver and Harper’s house furnishing store.” Here Polly’s house-wifely instincts had full play in mar vels of kitchen apparatus. Taere is not an establishment in Home that carries a more comprehensive stock of household furnishings, livery possible piece of kitchen furniture, from a tin dipper to a cooking range is here in all styles and variety. If Polly fails to accomplish won ders in the culinary art, it will not be for ■fault of superior cooking utensils. For her most important purchase was a charter oak with celebrated gauze doors. “Let’s see-—I promised you a gold watch, didn’t I?" queried Uncle Josh of Polly. “The place of all places in town is J. K. Williamson so we’ll go there.” En tering the popular jewelry store, the old man gallantly acquitted himkelf of his premise and then directed Polly’s attention to the superior stock of silverware carried by the house. “There is no other such ■ house in town said the old man, "and I will quarantee the quality to be the very best. Jjick out your family clock while here,” he added—Williamson carries a magnifi cent line. “Don’t forget another fact,” he continued, “if ever you unfortunately need optical goods, this is the place to come. He has every thing required to improve affected eyes and to determine the required treat ment. Uncle Josh presented Charles with | the latest New York fad. | At this point, somewhat to the confusii n THE WAY SHE LOOKS troubles the woman who is delicate, run-down, or overworked.

For Kain by D. W Currv. of Charles, th a old man ind ulged in a half serious criticism of his personal appear ance. “You, are decidedly off style for a townsman.” paid he, “and we’d better go ove to W. M. Gammon and Co. After Charles had fitted himself out in a neat and late style business suite from the piles of fashionable garments that cover the tables of this extensively stocked establishment, Uncle Josh declared that “Now you look like a newly inarried man.” Before leav ing, havingfejund goods and prices irresist ible, Charles also invested in a complete outfit of gent’s furnishing goodn, from the latest style hat to a dozen shirts. This house is not to be undersold in Georgia. “These house-fixings remind me,” said the old gentleman, “that you haven’t got your dishes yet. The most famous stock in extent, quality and completeness is at Car ver and Harper's the same place you got your cooking stove. But the average Tkib une reader need not be told what an array of tableware Polly had to select from. There isn’t, positively, a thing in the line of china, crockery, glass or porcelain need ed for use or ornament in any part of the house that cannot be found there in infinite variety' and at wonderfully low prices. They also have a splendid stock of lamps of every description, and silverware in abundance. Polly's order suggested her thorough appreciation. “Halt! coiamanded Uncle Josh, as the two come in front of D. W. Curry's hand some drug store, “Come in”—“WliyfUncle we’re not sick” “Well, guess I know that and suppose you never will be, but I sus pect it will not be very long before this young man begins to take a decided inter est in matters of paregoric. Come in any Ey, Polly may find some toilet articles wants.” Sure enough, before leaving was loaded down with combs, brushes, faeepowder, and several ounces of Hue im po?ted perfumes. Then the old man continued. “Have your prescriptions filled here as both Mr. Curry and his clerks are competent phar macists—they will put up your medicines carefully using nothing but pure and wholesome drugs.” “By the way, Uncle,” exclaimed Polly, “where can I go for dry goods? This dress of mine is hardly suitable I must admit.” “Well, my girl, if you want to select from one of the most extensively stocked estab lishments in the city, I will direct you to Thos. Fahy, who carries a line of dress goods that for variety and real value, is ' seldom seen outside the largest metropoli tan cities. Mr. Fahy carries all the latest weaves in fashionable dress goods and you are sure to be guided right iu your selec tions. You will find Mr. Fahy pleasant to deal with and his employes polite and ex pert, while his prices cannot be duplicated.” “Oh, I must have an album, Uncle Josh,” ! exclaimed Polly, “and ' “Yes, and a Bible with a reasonable big family regis ter,” interrupted the old man, “so we’ll go down to If. M. Tanner's book store. You'll find many articles indispensable for the parlor as well as lib.ary there.” And for variety they have an unequalled stock and Polly's purchase included miscellaneous books, fancy stationary, (all the latest ago nies) brick-a-brac pictures and frames for pictures. Uncle Josh remarked that Tan ner was also handling the best pianos and organs and eten intimated that he would get Polly one at an early date. 8fi“I declare, Uncle,” exclaimed Charles, “there goes a handsome phaeton; I must have one like that for the girl.” “Get it right here,” sententiously said the old man. “My friends, R. H. Jones & Sons Manufac turing Co., conduct a carriage repository here that for variety and excellence of stock cannot be beaten. They manufacture aurreys, carriages, buggies and phaetons of all the leading styles, and are satisfied with a moderate profit, too." Polly was soon the happy possessor of an elegant buggy—but of course Jones & Sons Manu facturing Co., sell a cheap buggy too, if wanted.

Hauks & Roberts always have a nice line of them and you can got one whenever you want it; I'll pay for the best.” “W-b-y,” exclaimed Polly with great curiosity, “whatever is it?” “Well, it's a baby wagon, and But Polly had fainted.
