j Moving Sale Price 1
{ During the month of July I will be located in ♦
l the Terrell building formerly occupied by R. E. S
! Everitt’s Furniture Store. From until then I will •
sell my stock at greatly reduced prices.
For the next thirty days I offer my entire stock at a i
great reduction in every department. I do this because at
that time I will have to move temporarily in order that my
present store can be remodeled and I want to move as little
as possible.
I have in stock the prettiest line of Dress Goods, Hats,
Shoes, Clothing and Gent’s Furnishings Goods in the city
and the prices that will be placed on them during this great
thirty day sale will be the lowest of the low. Come and
look at the BARGAINS we have for everyone. You will
then see just what Levin means when he says he is going
to unload. ▼
Remember everything in our store has been put under the t
price cutting knife and will be sold for about half value. During
the time my store is being remodeled I will be located somewhere
in the city and will let the people know a little later.

BEARS GENERALLY JOLLY.
But Sometimes One Comes Along With
a Settled Grouch.
“Rarely are bears born ill tempered.
They may show some resentment at
the time of their capture when but
two months old. but this feeling soon
disappears. leaving a jolly rogue ever
willing to box and wrestle. I once
knew 7 a cub that was a regular ter¬
ror,” says a writer In Collier’s, “and
he never reformed. He would attack
anything regardless of its size or
strength.
“At the age of three months he
would charge at me, snorting, sniffing
and striking with his tiny paws, and
when I did not protect myself he
seized my trousers leg between his
teeth and shook it violently.
“At first I thought that he had been
abused by his former owner and that
by kind treatment he would soon out¬
grow his temper; but, no, he just had it
in him, and he became more and more
dangerous as time .sped by.
“Finally he grew 7 large enough to be
put in with the mature bears without
danger of his squeezing between the
bars and escaping, and to the surprise
of every one he immediately took
charge of the den. Old bears twenty
times his size, possibly from some
sense of honor, if animals have honor,
submitted to cuffs and slaps in the
face and actually allowed him to
snatch food from their mouths with¬
out resenting the insult.”
The Temple of Zeus.
All that remaifts of the great temple
of Zeus, w 7 hich was 700 years in build¬
ing, Is to be found about 150 yards
from the foot of the Acropolis at Ath¬
ens. The ruins consist of sixteen col¬
umns of the Corinthian order, six and
one-half feet in diameter and sixty
feet high. It was the second largest
temple erected by the Greeks, one su¬
perior to It in size being the temple
of Diana at Ephesus. According to a
legend, its foundation was built by
Duka\ion, the Greek Noah, who from
this point witnessed the waters of the
?ood subside. An opening in the
ground is said to be the orifice through
which the flood disappeared.
