We have made it a rule
for several years never to
carry any garments from one
season to another, and at
the new or reduced prices
we have garments that are
within the reach of every
purse, however small.
It is impossible in our lim
ited space to give a descrip
tion of the goods or enum
erate prices.
We are confident that you
will find on examination that
the prices are very accept
able we mean by accept
able prices lower than the
same quality of goods can
be bought for elsewhere
at a saving from one-third
to one-half.
We have a large number
of them to select from and

Honfsdalk. Jan. 8 The entertain
ment given by the scholars of Grace

an unusually fine one and a groat suc
cess. At 6 GO, tables having been
previously filled with delieicie, the
scholars of the Sunday scliool were
treated to refreshments. After the

and disclosed n roo in which were
seated a number o eautlful young
girls, representing ho daughters of
rich parents. It wis Christmas eve;
presents had been rurchased, and the
ricn young daughters laughed at the
idea of a Santa Clans A fairy ap
t.enred and retiuked them for their
selfishness. Waiving her wand she
brought in a host of ragged street
urchins, one of whom wns bearing the
I. ranch of a Christmas tree. The con
trast between rich and poor was vivid.
The sinnll children in rags gaily dance
ed and saug around the branch of
their tree and put to shame tit . selfish
rich, whose hearts were now eoftenwd,
and the generous fairy again waving
her Wtnd, brought in Sinta Claus.who
gladdened the hearts of all by numor
ous presents.
The cantata was stage 1 by Mrs. T.
S. Hani and Mrs. H. T. Dolmetuco. It

After the cantata Mrs. H. Z Rusiell
sang a beautiful "swinging" solectioo,
which was received with cheers. Her
encore wns a song that toid of the cry
of the New York nows-boy, and was
lonliy applauded.
"A Box of Monkies," a two-act farce,
followed. It set forth the dignified
ricli society aunt, servile to tilled
foreigners; her western, wild,
slangy nieco about to make her
debut in eastern society; a titled
Englishwoman, whose estates were
barren of an income, and lastly n
gold mine that wouldn't p in out. Van
ous troubles ensued, bat at last the
mine panned out, money overcame tho
prejudice of the aunt, and the western
ers wire admitted into the family.
Miss Louise Hardenbergh played tho
dignified uunt, Miss Florence H im, her
bewitching neice. Miss Florence
Baker, the tilled English lady; John
Groner nnd John Hawker, the western
millioniares. The play was hue.

done me. Seven years ugo a running sore, ap
peared on my ankle, which grew worse until It
entirely covered my foot and the hones camoout
of my toes. Then thu sores appeared on my
other foot, right arm and hand. Moles wore
eaten In my lower limbs, my arm wns ono (treat
aorn from the shoulder down, and the bones
oamo out of two of my lingers. Words
Cannot Tell My Sufferings.
I could not sleep and hail no appetite. About
three years alter the first appearance of the dis
ease my husband road of what Hood's Harsapa
rllla had done for others, and urged me to try
It. I wus confined to the bed at the time, had
given up all hope. However, I commenced
taking the medicine, and before I hud finished
the bottle, could sleep, und uot only eat, but
eujoy my food. Now the
ores are All Healed Up
with the exception of ono spot on my limb. I
thank God for having directed my husband's at

should have been In my grave. I can now move
about with tho aid of orutulies, and will always
need their assistanco, but anyone who had seen
