Many other Hults were Ideals of plcturesqueness person! fled, but lack of writing fluid prevents our detailed panorama. It was a great surprise to us to see the great change In the modus operandi of terpBhcorlty since our Juvenile days, when we used to hoe It down on the corner and swing and hug our "honey" till ehe had to go outside to let her lungs refilll. -But now everybody wiaa as graceful with their little skips and kicks as the typical faiwns of yore, having completely anni hilated the beloved little Jig of our boy. hood days. But with all the Improve ment In grace, time, and variety of dance, for the life of us we could not discover the slightest advancement In the mode of squeezing. And we were glad of It. The old way still has a warm corner in our ancient anatomy which the corduroy road of time ever keeps in view, and we object to any change. When the great clock In the church tower tolled it was midnight, and our appetite was aroused, the dune lag wa discontinued and the auc tioned ollmbed the stage end com menced the sale of eggs. Of course we thought this was t queer bill of fare for a dance, but the other menu better, and bid them In at the rate of 40 cents per egg. Later on we found out that the young ladles names were marked on the variety of hen fruit, and the young man who was lucky or unlucky enough to get an egg with a name on It had the privilege of taking the afore said young lady to lunch.

Past experience has tautcht us that It Is a "good thing," and has ulso suggested a means of "pushing it along" to tho mutual benefit of the public and our selves. We find by a careful review of the transactions of the past year that we have sold more goods at suc rlllre prli-es than ever before. This fact explains another of greater im portance to us, namely: The space formerly occupied by so called (which were perhups (lnlshed a little too dark, or a little too light, or possi bly slightly damaged), has abundant ly paid for the amount lost on the orig inal article. Hence the resolve that everyartlcle In our Vast establishment not strictly up to date must muke room for fresh, new, spring goods.
