Backing the Furniture Sale and
All That We Say of
It With the Goods
A Lincoln-Like Lad Helps
to Make
something' of a Lincoln-like- man.
On Crawford's School House, where
Lincoln went Winters for a short time, there
was nailed on the School House wall a buck's
head.
One day the teacher saw that one of the
hnrnc was crnnp nnH nnf.nrnllv slip had to find
out what became of it. The answer came quickly

it when I took hold and hung on to the horn, but
it broke off in my hand. I'm sorry for it."
That's the type of stuff to make men for
America. We meet with accidents. We have our
faults, but we can own up to them, be we little
men or big men, and do better and go on to
conquer in a Lincoln-like way.

its lower half entirely of richly
embroidered satin. An oddly
woven girdle holds it together.
Another with a perfectly
straight bordered coat has a
severe Chinese neck and opens
at one sido over metal cloth of
blue and red, black and'gold.
Tho coat is heavily bordered.
In another the similar
straight coat hangs from" the
neck and tiny buttons outline
each side.
A notable type is of navy
tricotine with vertical lines of
black jet bugles increasing Its
effect of slenderness.
A, very medieval costume in
deed is atso of navy wool with
a heavy wool embroidery in
beige color, and a rope girdle
of beige and navy.
A long-waisted bodice has a skirt gathered into it, the latter
being richly embroidered with a grape and chrysanthemum
design.
A tunic style with rows upon rows of braid has a narrow
girdle with tailored bows and a little tomato-colored wool posy
on the shoulder.
But we might go on and describe scores of styles.

There Is Many
a Suction
Cleaner With a
Splendid Roar
That Gets
Little Dirt
Suction cleaners, or "vacuum"
cleaners, as they used erroneously
to be called, came in along about
the same time with automobiles,
but it is only within the last few
years that they have come to
their true utility.
Peoplo understand nowadays
that to get a suction cleaner that
is worth having you must get the
best.
Cheap suction cleaners do not
get the dirt. The fan roars loud
ly, but it is all noise.
They take the nap off the top
of the carpet and they run up the
electric meter tremendously, but
if you take a broom over the car
pet afterward, you will find that
the dirt is still there.
We have tried each and every
sort of suction cleaner to be
found on tho market with the re
sut that we have come to
recommend to the customer the
"Superb."
The "Superb" is the greatest
suction cleaner on the market. It
is the one that actually does get
the dirt. It docs it cleanly, thor
oughly and absolutely.
The "Superb" lasts a long time,
it is durable and sound.
The "Superb" has a compara
tively slow-moving brush that
cleans the carpet without injuring
it if you go over the carpet with
a broom after the "Superb" has
been over it, you will find nothing
has been left in it.
This fino suction cleaner coms
in two sizes, tho "Superb" at $70
and tho "Superb Junior" at $55.
Tho "Superb Junior" has a 12
inch sweep and tho "Superb" a
14-inch sweep.
$70 seems like a great deal of
money to put into a cleaner, but
this is a genuine suction cleaner,
and worth every cent of it. It
will last years and always do
good work.
Cheaper cleaners are to be had,
but they are not so durable nor so
efficient.
