JIE WISE SHOPPERS will do their Holiday Buying now. They will not wait until the last few days before ChristmaB and then howl because the nicest and best has been bought by others. They know it is easier to buy when you have a'f ull stock to select from, and they know too that at that time they can suit themselves better as to price. Later in the Beasou, when the stocks have been picked over, they may have to take articles that do not exactly suit them either as to quality . . i j . a . il 1 At, -,!.,! 4-nt n mM smn Ye mi ! f a A in at I w Thnaa tit Vi r nnma T irr r nr ntinn Tt n O A 4-1- 4 1 I.

"What's (lie trouble?" he was asked, "Opsonic tost," ho replied gloomily. "What In the world is that?" "I've been run down of lute and feel ing pretty blue. As there Is consump tion In ny family, I consulted a spe cialist. He said I didn't have the dis ease yet, but he would tell mo what my chances were of getting It. We are constontly breathing tuberculosis perms, he explained, but healthy blood has the power to destroy them. So he took a drop of my blood and Inocu lated It with - a certain number of germs. In half an hour lie examined It under the microscope and found that only half as many germs had been killed as should have been the case.

New York Tribune. ' A Famous London Tavern. The Mermnld was the name of a fa mous London ' tavern " frequented by noted literary men and actors during the reign of Queen Elizabeth. All the wit and talent of the time assembled there for convivial enjoyment.' Au thors have made It the scene of great mind combats between such men as Shakespeare, Ben Johnson, Beaumont, Fletcher, Seldbn, Carew. Donne and others of reverential memory.- It was the gathering place of the celebrated Mermaid club, the origin of which Is ascribed to Sir Walter Italelgh. The Mermaid tavern was located In Ilrcnd street ond was handily reached from three thoroughfares, so that It has been often referred to In various ways. The Mermnld In Bread street, the Mer maid In Friday street and the Mermnld In Cheap street were, however, all one and the same. It was the nearest to Rread street. The Mermaid was de stroyed In the great London fire. There wore other Mermaid taverns, one In Cheapsldo uud another In Cornhlll, but they had no such associations as clung to that of Brend Btreet Origin of the Word "Bogus." The word "bogus" Is said by Dr. Ogll vle to be derived from Boghese, the name of a notorious Amerlcnu swindler who about the year 1835 flooded the western and southwestern states with counterfeit bills, sham mortgages, etc. Others coiuicct the word with "bogy," a seareeroWr goblin, and so applied to anything fictitious or chimerical. Lowell In the ''Illglow Tapers" says: "I more than suspect the word tobe n corruption of the French boEnsse." This bognsse was the sugar cane as delivered in its dry, crushed stnte from tho mill, also called can trash and fit only for burning, being synonymous with useless rubbish. Again, according to Brewer, there Is In French argot or thieves' slang a word "bogue," which signifies the rind of a green . hestnut or the case of n watch, and this also b'rlngs us to the Idea of nn outward seeming without any solid or rcputntjle foundation.
