Candy Free Every Day
Until Xmas, one box to every purchaser of not less than 50 cents worth. The fact that we are giving candy has attracted hun
dreds yes, thousands to this store the last two days. The crowds came in droves, in companies, in regiments, until the
capacity of our candy man was taxed to the utmost. But we have promised, and the candy you shall have at any cost. The
candy has fulfilled its mission. It has done its duty as a trade winner, and we expect the increased patronage for the future will
repay us for our generosity of the present.
But remember this we only give one box to a customer no matter how big the purchase.

The Story ol it Daughter's Devotion
iiimI 'i Iiivi'rs I'nitlifuliK'ss.
From the St. Joseph News.
Twenty-five years ugo there was a
romance- at Maysvillo -a lovo btnry In
which there was nothing out of the
rdliury. It was like hundreds of oth
ers, and th"i did not then appear to
ne a possibility that It would become
remarkuble. It became known there
tint two young people, who will be
culled John Smith and Mary Jones,
w re encaged to bo married. John
Smith hid been paying attentions to
the yiung lady about two years, and
tl t announcement oC their engagement
Old not cause any surprise.
Tin wedding clay was set, and nearly
all the prepatatlons hud been mills.
v hen the mother of the brldo-tn-bo
1 eiamp ill. On account of her illness
the marriage had to be postponed. In
a short time it became apparent that
her mind was Impaired, and still a lit
tle later the terrible truth forced itself
on the minds of her friends the moth
er of Mary Jones was Insane. Ar
rangements were mado to send her to
the asylum, and It was then that her
daughter raised objections. She would
not huve her mother t-ent to the asylum
at all, and declared that she would de
vote her life to taking ciro of her.
When she rrado that vow Mary Jones
was 18 years old, . blight, Intelligent
young woman, handsome and talented.
In addition to that, she was engaged to
be married to one of the best young
men in the county a young man of
wealth and refinement, to whom she
had made a folemn promise Her fath
er owned u largo tract of land and a
line house. He was amply able to em
ploy a nurse for the demented woman
us long as she might live, ind to his
mind there was no reason why his
daughter should not marry after a rea
sonable length of time.
Therj was a reason, however the
strong sense of duty the daughter had
and her resolve that she would never
leave her mother while she lived. She
triumphed over the arguments of her
friends, and settled down to a life In
which there appeared to be llttlo hope,
except tho reward for filial dut. She
put aside ull thoughts of the llfo she
had contomplated, nnd from that day
she ha been her mother's loving and
devoted attendant. The mother's mind
Is a total wreck. She Is not violent,
but her mind Is gone, and she must
have constant caro and attention.
Twenty-five years have passed since
she- became demented, and during that
time her daughter has not boon uway
from her a single day.
Twenty-five years ago John Smith
used to call every Sunday night at the
home of Mary Jones. Thiy sat on tho
cool front porch during tho summer,
and by the fireside In winter. Then
they planned their future the happy
llfo they were to live after they were
married.
John Smith still makes the Sunday
night visits as regularly as in the olden
lime. If he should miss one Sunday
night It would be understood nt once
that he was HI, or that some other good
and hiilllclent cause had prevented him
from being there on time. Ills hair Is
gray, and there are wrinkles In his
face. The girl ho expected to claim
as his bride Is an old maid now, and
her once bright eyes ore beginning to
lose the lustre of youth, but she is still
iirm in her determination to remain
with her mother as long as her mother
lives. The engagem nt has never been J
biol-.en. The young man said he would
wult until her task at home was over, I
and he has waited. The years seem j
long to him, but he is true. If he
grows Impatient, the patient face of
tho woman whose devotion Is more
lh:in remarkable Is enough to make
him ashamed of his Impatience. It is
said to his credit that he has never
made the Slightest e 'ort to persuade
the daughter to leave her mother.
Stories like this nre often told in
books, but this Is one In real life.
Pcnn avenue shops are busy making
twelve large printing presses for the
Campbell Press company, of New York

Tho Columbia Lamp company, a West

Hrothers are the proprietors, made the
