The Superiority of Our
Thanksgiving
LINENS
Will be demonstrated at a sale, tbe importance of which caooot be over
estimated. Lioooa of all grades and qualities will be underpriced and ex
ceptional values will be a feature.
This is distinctively a liuen store none bat the most worthy linens ever
find a place on our shelve. No short thread, light weight goods for us. A
good piece of linen is always a good advertisement for the store selling it,
and an inferior piece is a mighty bad one.
High Grade Cloths With
Napkins to Match.
If you have any place for a large sire Table Cloth of exceptional quality
you'll never ag liu have a chance such as this. The price is but a little more
than half their value, and the only reason is it's an odd lot of large sizes
secured from the importer at a low figure. He wanted to clean up.
Cloths 2 yards wide, 3 yards long, $3 90, value $7.50.
Cloths 2 yards wide, 4 yards long, $4 35, value $8 50.
Cloths 2 yards wide, 3 yards long, $4.35, value $8.50.
Cloths 2 yards wide, 3 yards long, $4.90, value $10,00.
Large Napkins to match, $3 90 dozen, value $7.50.
If you think we may be overestimating the value of then, compare
them with any you find in any store in any city in the land.

ROCHESTER. N. Y.
A Brlfle's Misapprehension.
It was the first Sunday In their pret
ty new flat, and Mrs. G. detonniued
to celebrate the joyous day with a
dinner which would innke her young
husband think he had married not only
"the sweetest girl in the world," but
"the best cook." It was perfectly
lovely to set the little round dining
room table with" the nicest presents,
and the preparation of a tempting
salad and dessert was not exactly u
trying ordeal, but the roasting of the
rhicken made her a little nervous. Aft
er succeeding, with the assistance of
a large oilcloth hook, In getting the
fowl into the oven she sang from sheer
relief. A little later, when the music
had ceased and the silence in the
kitchen became suspicious, Mr. G.
opened the door. Kneeling down be
fore the oven, with Hushed face and
tearful eyes, was Mrs. J. On the
floor beside her was the cookbook, and
In one hand was n long needle wltli
white thread. "Oh, dearie," she cried,
"it Is going to burn my hands just
dreadfully to baste this chicken every
fifteen minutes:" Wind to Eat.
.Sporting; Iiepnrtee.
It is doubtful, said a biographer, If
any repartee ever surpassed in dell
cacj' the repiy made by an East Indian
servuut of the late Lord TJulTerln when
he was viceroy of India.
"Well, 'what sort of sport has Lord
had?" said the viceroy one day to
tils shikaree, or sporting servant, who
Silberbers:
Treasurer,
H. R. MERRITT.
had attended a young English lord on
a shooting excursion.
"Oh," replied the scrupulously polite
Hindoo, "the young suhib shot divine
ly, but Trovldence was very merciful
to the birds!"
This Rtory calls to mind one told by
the writer of some reminiscences of
Sydney Smith. On one occasion the
celebrated physician, Sir Henry Hol
land, told the witty divine that he had
failed to kill either one of a brace of
pheasants that had risen within easy
range near. Smith's house.
"Why did you not prescribe for
them?" came the quick reply.
For Sore Throat.
Those subject to sore throat will find
the following preparation simple, cheap
and highly eflieueious when used in
the early stage: Pour a pint of boiling
wuter on thirty leaves of the common
sage and let the infusion stand for an
hour; add vinegar suillclcnt to make it
pleasantly ncld and honey to taste.
The mixture should be used as a gur
gle twice n day. There Is no danger
V some of it Is swallowed.
Dlaappolntmeni on Both Sides.
"You said the house was only five
minutes' walk from the station," com
plained the victim. "To say the least,
I'm disappointed in you."
"And I'm disappointed in you," re
plied the agent. "I thought you were
n very rapid walker." l'lilladelphla

Tbe Early rse of Skates.
nollimd is said to be the home and
birthplace of skating, and without
doubt skating was first practiced there
and In the far north. In a country of
lakes and canals the necessity of walk
ing nud running on ice must hare been
felt from the earliest days. In Hol
land they show the bone skates which
were found In one of the mounds of
which a Friesland village was built.
The skates wore fastened to the feet
by straps passed through holes which
were made in the bones. A Danish
historian mentions the sport In 1134.
The bone skates were also first used In
Kugland. A writer In his account of
the amusements of the young people of
London in the twelfth century men
tions the fact that It was usual for
them to fasten the leg bones of ani
mals under the soles of their feet by
tying them around their ankles; then,
taking a pole shod with iron, they push
ed themselves forward with great ra
pidity by striking this polo into the ice.
Aunt Chloe arid the Dinner.
Mrs. McJurvis had Invited n num
ber of friends to dinner, but the cook
left her on the morning of the appoint
ed day without a moment's notice,
says the Chicago Tribune.
In this emergency she hunted up an
old friend of the family,' Aunt Chloe,
wife of Uncle Epbralin, and asked her
to take the cook's place.
"I'll cook de dinmih, missis," said
Aunt Chloe, "if you'll give me wot's
left"
Mrs. McJurvis agreed, and within
a few hours the dinner was well under
way.
Later in the day she visited the
kitchen.
"Why, Aunt Chloe," she said, "I have
only live persons to entertain, and you
are cooking everything there is in the
house! What Is that?"
"I want to niiiko kIio', missis," said
auntie, "tint dere'll be suin'n lef."
London's Flr.t Omnibus.
'The first London omnibus was really
much more gorgeous than Its successor
of today. It was nn imposing vehicle,
beautifully decorated and painted,
with accommodation for twenty-two
passengers inside, and was drawn by
three handsome bays, driven by a
smart coachman In livery, and its con
ductor was g,iy In a blue cloth uniform,
like a midshipman. This conductor, by
the way, was the sou of a naval cap
tain and spoke French so well that it
was quite common for the poke bonnet
ed young ladles from 1'addlngtou to
ride as far ns the city and back with
the object of Improving their French
by chatting with him. The fare from
the Yorkshire Stingo, at Taddlugton,
to the Bank was a shilling; halfway,
sixpence, and newspapers and books
were provided for the passengers.

A IluNKiiin Sentry.
In 1ST0 the Husslun emperor saw a
soldier In the middle of a grass plot In
the palace grounds. Why was there a
daily guard, relieved at stated inter
vals? No one knew. Curiosity was
aroused, and at last a veteran was dis
covered who rcmern.bered hearing his
father say that the Empress Catherine
she died In 1727 once saw a snow
drop In bloom at that point nnusunlly
early and asked that a guard be sta
tioned there to protect It. And there a
sentinel remained for at least 132
years; no one knew how much longer.
