effig Smart0 This Store Can Never Be a Good Market for Poor Merchandise In these strenuous times tlicrc is a strong tendency toward the cheapening ot qualities to make possible the quotation of sensational prices. In other words, the end and aim of a certain style of merchandizing seems to be a reputation for cheapness, irrespective ot other, and more important considerations. From our viewpoint, the consummation de voutly to be desired is ihat prestige which ac crues from the distribution of dependable pro ductions in smart styles at lowest prices consist ent with assured grades. Such a policy, we firmly believe, if faith fully followed, will in the end prove more profita ble than one which aims to produce a fictitious impression of cheapness at the expense of the customers' satisfaction.

He Won the Contest lly JeHnetto Whitlow. As Jed sut In the sun a shadow sud denly fell across the belt he was mending, lie knew by the sudden contraction of his heart who it was he would Bee, and he caught himself Idly wondering If it would alwayB bo the same. If tho same massive form would follow him through life, al ways casting Its shadow over his brightest hopes. Ever since Norcross entered the college a year before they had beeu rivals iu their studies, rivuls in ath- leticB, and now rivals for the nfTec tlon of the fairest maid In all the country, pretty Ora Chadwlck, the dean's only daughter. It was a week before Christmas, and wonderfully mild. In three days the great annual dramatic meet at West lock College would occur. Jed had taken iirst prize In the junior year, and had worked hard or this year, but as usuul Norcross was looming up a close second. Jed't brows contracted. "He may get It," ho muttered, "but ho won't get It fairly. He'll win, Just as he won at field day, by a sneak's trick. Thank heaven I've kept my record clear even though It hasn't always landed me first place." He sprang quickly to his feet to get a better view of the splendid form as It swung across the campus. It's tho same man. I could swear 1L But what the deuce did he change his name for? Oh, If I had proofs, proofs; but, pshaw, what could I do, even if I had? If she loves him" here the buckle In his Angers snap ped sharply in two. "And even If she doesn't, could I Justify my self? I couldn't be. Even if the fellows are too true to me to notice It, I should know myself that it was 'love' and not 'war' whose 'fairness' I was guarding." He laughed grimly at his own pun, picked up the broken buckle and went up to his room. "Come here, Jed," Bald Gregory Henderson as he entered. "Here" meant the big broad silled window overlooking the campus. He pointed below to where Norcross and Miss Chadwlck were pacing up and down. "Are you go ing to stand for that sort of thing? You were 'if before he landed, and here you've allowed him to walk in and help himself to whatever he wants and he's got deuced good taste, confound him. "You're you're awfully good, Greg. I I know the boys depend on me, and I am going to try." His eyes followed the two forms steadily for a minute. Then he held out his hand. "Greg," he said, and there was a steely glint In his eyes, "Gregory, I am going to win!" The evening of the great meet came. Of the sixty-three competitors It was readily ceded that only two stood any chance of winning first prize, Jeremiah, alias "Jed" Far num, and Frederick Norcross. Both men were in fine condition. The affair progressed as such things usually do the minor lights receiving their share of applause from personal friends. When the programme was finally finished it was clear that either Jed or Norcross would carry off the first prize, some designated one, some the other. The judges adjourned to the ante-room, and Jed's heart sank as a messenger called Norcross to Join them. Well, it was as ho expected. What chance had he against a a He didn't dure to even think the word, lest he should shout aloud In his heart's sickness. And now Dean Chudwick's voice reaches him. "Ladles and gen tlemen, friends of our institution," the dean is saying, "I regret exceed' lngly that a very unpleasant feature crept Into our contest to-night. Pro fessor Bacon, whose word Is Indispu table, has fortunately recognized one of our members before it was too late. Frederick D. Norcross, whose true name Is Frederick Davison, has admitted that he not only was a pro fessional member of Bennett's Con cert Company during the season of 1896-'97, but that during the follow ing year he was on the track at Wrentham and other places ns a pro fessional athlete. In view of theso facts, he cannot be considered In making the awards. And when Jed was finally announced the winner the entire student body rose as one, and gave the college yell "three times three." When Jed was ushered into the dean's presence a day later he hard ly knew what to expect. The old man looked up from his paper. "Far inini," he said slowly, "was it not during the season of '99 that the team sent you over to the Wrentham meet?" "Yes, sir." "And you have known all the time that this Nor cross was a professional?" ", I sus pected It sir." "Was It using me, your college, even yourself, fairly! Why didn't you speak?" "Oh, sir, sir, If you only knew how hard it was not to." For a minute the dean stared, then rose suddenly and held out his hand "I, I have your consent, sir?" "Go into the library, my boy, and we'll talk it over. But as Jed entered the library, the old man with the young heart re mained behind, and there, In the wide' old dormer window, her lips parted in welcome, stood the one girl In all Jed's happy world. He stretched out his arms. "Have I won the prize?" "Even before the contest, dear, only , you wouldn't give me a chancs to say so." For a year I was greatly troubled with a sore on my ankle, caused by poi soning it. After doctoring and trying various remedies. I was persuaded to try San-Cura Ointment. It reduced all the swelling and healed the sore in two weeks. KarlC. Banks, Atlantio Refining Co., Piltsburg, Pa. Dunn Jt Fulton.
