JOLLY UNCLE JOSH. His Generosity Toward His Newly Married Niece. SOME FUNNY HAPPENIGS. A Realistic Romance of Rome With a Number of Busi ness Men “in it.” [Cupjright applied for W. 8. G.j •‘Miss Summers-Polly—l—er—dare I—” But the speaker took a header over bash fnlness, only to hear a sweet: “Yes, 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 —” And to this day that young man will insist that he popped the question. AU this happened away “up north 1 ' 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. 'Of course they accepted and were soon bidding their friends adieu, ***** * * * 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 that a superior chief and un limited orders on the market can make it, and the attendents polite and expert.” , breakfast” began the old man “I am ready t<T Oommtfnce the f'dlfirhnsiltcL 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 dressed 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 you know where to go for a team.’ “Having provided you with a cage for 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 Hanksand Roberts that she desired to go there. The result was that they were ushered into such s 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 ' outfit, 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. There is not an establishment in Rome that carries a more comprehensive stock of household furnishings. Every possible piece of kitchen furniture, from a tin dipper k to a cooking range is here in all styles and ■ variety. If Polly fails to accomplish won- T ders in the culinary art, it will not be for I fault of superior cooking utensils. For her most important purchase was a charter oak with celebrated gauze doors. “Let’s see—l 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 jewe’ry store, the old man gallantly acquitted himself 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. Pick out your family clock while here,” he added-—Williamson carries a magnifi- [ cent line. “Don’t forget another fact,” he “if ever you unfortunately need oplical goods, this is the place to come. He ■ has everything 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 confusion WELL BALANCED —the mind of the woman yßy who knows the best medi cino for her aches, pains and weakness, is to be found in Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre scription. It is a remedy which corrects and cures "jSgKSja the distressing derange- ments and diseases peculiar SgjJgsPa to woman, builds up and strengthens her system when she’s weak, rumdown and BKiM&j overworked. For an in- vigorating, restorative gffijSjf tonic, especially adapted to woman’s needs—the “ Fa vorite Prescription ” is so WSM positive in its effect that it vg® K guaranteed. If it over fails to benefit or cure, in cases for which it’s advised, you have your money back. What else can be “ just as good ’’ for you ? /Byif-ytr For bearing-down <cnsa- tions, ulceration, inflatnma- Hon, everything known as ~.*t“ i f,lna l° compJnl'.t,” this is remedy that's safe, car tain, and proved. RANKIN'S Juniper THE formula of this won derful medicine was orig inated by the late Dr. J. W. Rankin, who was one ( of the most skilled pharmacists' ofthisState. It contains nothing injurious, and for all diseases of the Bladder and Kidneys HAS NO. EQUAL.' Statistics show that a greater number of deaths result from diseases that have their origin in the Kidneys than from all other causes combined. Be sure you get the genuine. For sale by D. W. Curry. of Charles, the old man ind ulged in a half serious criticism of his personal appear ance. “You are decidedly off style for a townsman.” said he, “and we’d better go overtoW. 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 married man.” Before leav ing, having fofind goods and prices irresist ible, Charles also invested in a complete outfit of gent’s furnishing goods, 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 Trib 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 bouse that cannot be found these injnfiniti 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! commanded Uncle Josh, as the two come in front of D. W. Curry's hand some drug store, “Come in”—“Why|Uncle 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 way, Polly may find some toilet articles she wants.” Sure enough, before leaving she was loaded down with combs, brushes, facepowder, and several ounces of fine im ported 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 in 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 H. M. Tanner's book store. You’ll find many articles indispensable for the parlor ss 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 e'en intimated that he would get Polly one at an early date. &“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 surreys, carriages, buggies and phaetons of all the leading styles, and are satisfied with a modeiate 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. Uncle Josh made himself a pres ent of a “Jones Wagon” recognized by all farmers to be the best on earth. En route to their home the gentlemen called at the Tribune office. “You’ll want the news every week,” said Uncle Josh, “and as this is the favorite paper here, I’ll subscribe for it.” Upon re-joining Polly began to volubly express her thanks. “You have bought us everything,” she exclaimed. “Only one thing,” remarked Uncle Josh, reflectively, “but I can remedy that. Hanks*Roberts always have a nice line of them and you can get one whenever you want it; I’ll pay for the best.” . “W-h-y,” exclaimed Polly with great curiosity, “whatever is it?” “Well, it’s a baby wagon, and ” But Polly had fainted.
