Stylish Suits
No such stock was ever exhibited by
any house at this early date. We took pre¬
caution with judgment and forethought. We
placed our order before the great suit-makers
strike, and today we own more suits than any
other five stores in this entire section. We
have the goods in stock and own them for
less, and, as we generally do, we sell them
for less. But take our advice—don’t put off
buying your Suits and Skirts, as early buyers
will get the benefits of the prices and good
luck in early purchasing. Those who wait
will have to pay more, as all re-orders will
cost from 10 to 25 percent more. The man¬
ufacturers are charging more and the mer¬
chant and then the consumer will have to
pay the advance. Don’t wait but come at
once to the

OYSTERS ARE LAZY.
Thay Spend Practically the Whole of
Their Lives In Beds.
Just like confirmed invalids, oysters
spend their lives In beds. The prin¬
cipal parts of an oyster are salt water
and a handsome stomach.
Every oyster has a mother-of-pearl
lined overcoat with the moss on the
outside. But a Waldorf-Astoria oys¬
ter gathers no moss.
Oysters, as a rule, keep their mouths
shut, but when they have been la so
clety too long they begin to gape.
They are fond of playing games, one
of their favorites being ring-around
a-rosy. In this game they join shells
In a circle on a plate. They live in the
ocean In summer and during the win
ter months frequent the principal ho¬
tels and restaurants, where they have
reserved seats on cakes of ice spe¬
cially prepared for them. They are
rarely met with at husklngs or church
fairs.
An oyster is a conchologist by na¬
ture, a bivalve by profession and an
appetizer because he cannot help him¬
self. There are girl oysters as well as
men oysters; but, so far as Is known,
one Is not superior to the other.
Oysters vary in size according to
their circumstances and their bringing
up. Some are harder to swallow than
others. There Is no particular rule
about this. But If at first you don’t
succeed, try, try again.
In June the oysters ought to be as
rare as the days.—Idiomas L. Masson
in Judge’s Library.
Genuine Genius.
“Jones Is a genius.”
“I never thought much of his
poems."
“They are not the reason. He suc¬
ceeds In selling them.”—Buffalo Ex¬
press.

THE COVINGTON NEWS, WED NESDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1910.
VOLLON’S PUMPKIN.
A Painting That Drove Parisian Artiste
Into Hysterica.
It is a part of the duty of the of¬
ficial picture hanger of the Societe des
Artistes Francais to distribute the
canvases which are offered for the
Paris Salon throughout the rooms of
the Palais dea Beaux Arts. The Jurors
are then summoned to examine these
and commend or condemn as they see
fit The artists are at liberty to ap¬
peal to the jurors, and an influential
artist can make trouble for the pic¬
ture hanger. In this connection a sto¬
ry Is told of Vollon, the painter of still
life.
Some years ago Vollon had painted
what he deemed his masterpiece, a
luxurious pumpkin, orange in color
and heroic in size, such as one sees at
an agricultural show. The Jurors did
not approve the official picture hang¬
er's choice of a place for it. A second
choice also was found for it and con¬
demned.
Ily this time the pumpkin had be¬
come the principal topic of conversa
tion in all the studios of Paris, and the
leading arttBts began to look In at the
Salon to make sure that their exhibits
were not belfifc injured by an unfor¬
tunate contrast One—Bouguereau—
nearly fainted with horror on seeing
the pumpkin not far from his pictures.
“Take that thing away!” be shouted;
“it kills my white and pink nymphs!”
So the pumpkin was removed. But
here Cormon objected. He declared
that it should not stay In the same
room with his pictures. “Its juxtapo¬
sition to my lions and bears and ti¬
gers,” said he, “makes them look like
tame cats.”
Tattegraln was the next artist to
protest. “Don’t place It near my
work!" he exclaimed angrily. “What
becomes of the martial spirit of my
canvases, and what Is the use of ex¬
hibiting sArvlng garrisons with a big
pumpkin alongside?”
So the pumpkin was shifted about
till it had passed through fifteen
rooms, and not a member of the so¬
ciety would tolerate its presence. Fi¬
nally the picture hanger placed the
pumpkin in the entrance hall, official¬
ly called "Salle d’Honneur,” but pop¬
ularly dubbed the “Chamber of Hor¬
rors.” Naturally Vollon became the
mortal enemy of the unhappy picture
hanger.—Harper’s Weekly.
Not Ladylike.
“What do you think I ought to say
to you for coming home so late—and
In such a condition?’ demands the
lady of the house.
“Perish cbe shought!” gracefully re¬
plies the courteous husband. “Perish
zhe shought! M’ dear, surety you
would not sh'pose I would ever shink
you ought to shay zhe shings I shink
vou ought to shay!”—Judge. •

Don t run. Get a watch to run for you, and be sure your minutes, Watch your time by carry¬
ing a time piece that we can recommend. A man will oil a wheelbarrow or wagon axle because
it squeaks and at the same time allow his watch to go untouched, because it noislessly performs its
daily duties. The man with a well regulated brain makes a success in life. To regulate your ac¬
tions properly you want one of our well regulated watches. If you havn’t a watch let us sell you
one that you can rely on. Do not buy from the mail order houses but patronize your home
jeweler who can regulate your watch without trouble.

Stylish Hats
for Women, Misses,Children
Jus! right as to Style, Price, Season
We could use this whole ad for Hats—
that Hat Department asked us to do it—a
bit selfish, wasn’t it? It reasons this way :
last week the weather was disagreeably hot
and yet the hat department sold more hats
than in any one week in the history of our
business—that’s some selling, isn t it? They
are right; they should be rewarded with a
large ad. But that will come; can’t say
when. Our hats are selling themselves,
salesmanship not necessary. The popular
verdict is “We have never seen so many
pretty hats in Covington.” We have no
“opening” that’s why. We have no dupli¬
cates and therefore
YOU GET THE HAT YOU SEE
This week’s showing for specials will be hats
for women and young ladies at $5.00 and up
wards. For children at $ 1.50 and upwards.
The Mobley Hat is the Hat.
