I have to get an overcoat
Says Jack to his friend Joe,
And, with but little cash to spare,
Where had I better go?
This buying clothes just bothers me,
The smartest man can’t tell
From looking at a coat, just if
The goods will wear real well.
And lotB of these here clothing men
Are that keen on a trade,
They’ll lie like slaty anyhow
About how clothes are made.
And some they stick the dollars on
And then you have to Jew
•Till they take off what they put on,
Whlsperln: “Just for you.”
Now I don't like that kind of way
And blame me if I know
With just the little cash I’ve got
Where It is best to go.
Says Joe to Jaok, I know your fix,
For I’ve been that way, too;
But you’ll get over that right quick
If you trade where I do.
Try John B. Shaw, and you can tie

And lay your money out, dead sure
That your Investment pays.

The prices ohters ask;
The folks that try to sell with him
I tell you have a task, i

Large stock—and goods all new—JJ

Two Klnde of Stomacha
Generally speaking there are two kinds
of stomachs—the acid and the billons
stomach. Everybody has one or tbe
other, and each requires different food
and care. Do traits, acid foods and
drinks make yon feel bad. cause dyspep
sia or colic pains nearly every time yon
eat them? Then you have an acid stom
ach, and it Is well to avoid all foods that
nave an excess of acids in them. Yoni
greatest remedy after a meal la bicar
bonate of soda, carbonic writer or vieby.
Do fat meats, greoae and other rich, fatty
substances cause nausea, vomiting and
sickness? Then yon have a biliona stom
ach. Yonr greatest remedy is to avoid
all fatty and greasy foods as mnch as
possible, and eat fralta and food con
taining plenty of acids. Acid drinks
are tbe best medicines that you can take.
These two kinds of stomachs are
ronnd on all sides, and as soon as one be
gins to know that be bos a stomach be
most ascertain which one he has Then
be can doctor himself easily. Occasion
ally one changes Into the other In tbe
coarse of years. Tbe acid stomach, by
tbe continuous nse of fats and avoid
ance of acids, becomes a biliona stomach,
and vice versa. Then it is well to eat
equally of both for a time.—Yankee
Blade.
A Glrl’a Wonderful Power.
Rose do Lima Belville, a young French
Canadian girl eight, years old, residing
with her parents at Montreal, la said to
be gifted with a supernatural power of
healing, with which (he is enabled to
perform miracles Hundreds of persona
who are lame, blind, halt or otherwise
diseased throng after t her daily in the
belief that she Is possessed ofenrative
powers.
Her first core was operated on a friend
of the family suffering from panaris,
which in English means whitlow. It Is
said to have been successfnL Tbe opera

feather ovei tbe affected part, and tbe
patient, it is alleged, waa Immediately
cured. Since then she has continually
employed her faculty and has visited
many people, who declare that she cured
them of tbeir various ailments.—Chicago

Artist* and Pet*.
Why are lyno and dramatic artist* so
fond of animals and birds? Tbe qm
tion has been repeatedly asked, bnt
never, as far aa we know, satisfactorily
answered. Adelina Patti always travels
with her canaries and several dog*.
Sarah Bernhardt drags about a small
menagerie with bar. and nearly every
finger and actress ha* a canine pet of
some sort

occupations One was a famous “go''

and was himself executed for the crime.
Another was a famous sntbor, and com
piled a valuable repertory of information
in 885 volumes. Tbe blind also practiced
usury, and acquired much unpopularity
from the harsh way In which they
treated tbeir debtors.—London Time*.

in thes days of cumeroial aktivity, when each stor shud sho aa
attempt 2 keipin up 2 the methods and posibilites of the times, let
firm hav the nowledge of how 2 by—let them hav the pluk 2 plan irn-
provments—let them hav the energy to kary them out and a wil do
wel 2 let them havyor trade.
A yer ago ther wer the remains of an engin hous on the korner of
Lee and Lamar streets. 2 dan hav forgoten the engin hous—you
rarely eal the plas othr than the Btezen Korner. Wat has changed
it ? Nothin’ bnt pink an’ energy.
Pluk and energy hav changed it from barenes 2 buty, fild it with
a stok which surprisd a for komprehensivnes. 2 da it is 8 times as
large as then—it isstil growin. A yer ago fu had herd of Butler &
Berry. 2da ther are few among the readin public 2 whom ther names
hav not a familer jingle, and ther r fa among the tradin.public who do
not eonsider the names Butler & Berry synonimns with ‘ekonomy and
squames.’
300 yers ago Shaksper said, “AU men hav ther prices,’’ bnt had he
Uved in Americus 2da he wud hav also told n who had the cheapest
prices. Then it takes no Shaksper to reaUes that if a firm, insted o
hying smal quantites at larg prices, wUl by larg quantites 2 get smal
prices, tha can esily lower yonr expenses. Pluk and energy an yor
own ideas of economy hav made the Btezen Korner hedquarters for
everything from a tea onp to dinner set—from a tin pan 2 a stov. A
yer ago this week the front dors of onr stor wer thron open, an we
wxted 4 the strangers 2 com in, Since then we hav wated on n. We
feel that we r no longer strangers—that n no ns Btezf n Korner folks—
that we no u, and no yor wants, and just as we invited u a yer ago we
invite n to com and 0 us during our “anavnrsary week.’’
If yonr tastes r esthetio earn, we’U sho a the butifal. If a apre-
