able body legislation popularly known
as 'ripper' legislation, to tho end that
offices or places now held by members of
one political organization may be filled
by members of another, but I do bcllove
that It will bo my duty to ask, from
tlmo to tlmo, for such legislation ns will
compel, obedience to tho very slmplo man
duto of tho State constitution that 'ap
pointments nnd promotion shall bo made
according to morlt nnd fitness, to bo as

And because her (mother was wise and

So together they started upstairs.
But Alice didn't feel very gay or happy

before the fairy queen and kneeled down
In front of her and put on the slippers,
"And now my rube of state," said the
queen grandly.
And -Alice hurried laughingly tT tho
wardrobe and got her mother's best ki

"My rosffiq wand." reminded the queen,
and Alice hurried for the umbrella stand,
picked out the best umbrella and ga.v it
to her mother.
"Now." .said the queen, "I can do what
ever I please. I can make you what I
will "
Alice laughed; she couldn't hejp it, her
mother looked so funny and It seemed so
jolly to be playing this way with her.
-I am at your service, oh queen," she
said, and she kneeled before her mother.
"Magic, magic fairy magic," mumbled
her mother, sh sho waved the umbrella

Our Greatest Annual
Clearing of Brass Bed
steads at Halved Prices
Greatest in the sense that it com
prises more brass beds than any clear
ing we have ever held, all of them beds
of true quality. There are 60 patterns
to choose from, many, of course, being ,
patterns that are not to be reproduced,
a fact which takes nothing from the real
worth of the beds, but a good deal from
their price.
They are now marked $6.75 to $55
each, and there is a choice at twenty
one different prices in-between, every
price one-half the actual value of the
bed.
The clearing is incidental to the an

If any proof is needed that magni

fictitious "savings," hero it is.
For various reasons, tho tempta
tions to flirt with cotton have been un
usual of late inthe linen market. Cot
ton has no moro charm for us than
ever. So far as this linen store is con
cerned, cotton is welcomo in a bath
towel, but in nothing bearing the namo
of linen.
On that principle wo have been en
abled to make this linen store what it
is and to provide 120,000 towels at
12V6c up to 75c, which as a collection
aro not equaled at the prices, qualities
and sizes compared.
There aro heaps and heaps of huck

18c, size 17x82 inches. A wonderful
feature of the stock is tho variety at

and bird's-eye weaves, hemmed and
hemstitched all-white towels and
towels with colored borders.
Also we are especially well provided
with towels at 50c apiece large sizes,
fine goods, and so the variety goes, up
to beautiful towels with hemstitched

size 24x42 inches.
Guest towels hundreds of dozens
