Spring stocks are daily arriving. We must bare room. There is
only one war to make it get rid of winter goods. This we will
do if price cutting can accomplish it.
Good Bye to Our Winter Coats
and Suits.
Not a winter coat or suit shall be carried over to another season
if it can possibly be prevented. To Ibis end the balance of our fall
and winter lines are now offered at half price or less. Such offer
ings give choice of productions that appeal tj women of taste aud
refinement. They are all well made, dependable garments, with
an abundance of elyle.
Furs at Half or Less.
A good investment, for all indications paint to much higher
prices on all grades of furs next season. You can buy any piece
we have in stock at just half what it is marked and not only get
good wear out of it this winter, but you buy it for lets thau half
what you'll have to pay next season.
The Vogue of White Wool Dress
Goods.
Though not prophets, nor sons of a prophet, we predict that the
coming spring and summer wi 1 be the greatest v White Season" on
record. However style seers may differ on other points, they Bgree
on this. Of course, last spring and summer were also white seasons
emphatically so but 'so only in spots; this year they will be
white all over. Wool goods, as well as cotton, will be affected.'
In d'ess goods, for example, we anticipate a large demand for
white wool weaves, both plain and fancy. By "fancy" we mean
while grounds with small checks or hairline stripes. Such effects
are particularly adapted for shirt waist suits as well as Eton
jackets with skirts.

The Wonder of Smelling.
James Mitchell, who died In or about
1S33 In the county of Nnrin, In Scot
laud, nnd was born blind on Nov. 11,
1795, recognized, says the World of
Wonders, different persons by smell
ing. The famous Mr. Boyle mentions a
blind man nt Utrecht who could dis
tinguish different metals by the differ
ent odors, nnd Martinis records the
case of a person nnmed Mamurra who
could tell by smelling whether copper
was true Corinthian or not. Indian
travelers have recorded that certain
natives who habitually abstained from
animal food have a sense of smelling
which Is so exquisitely delicate that
they can tell from which well a vessel
of water has been obtained. It has
been related thnt by smell alone the
negroes of the Antilles will detect the
footsteps of n Frenchman from those
of a negro. Marce Marcl has left an
account of a monk nt I'rngue who could
tell by smelling anything given to him
who had Inst handled it. The guides
who accompany travelers In the route
from Aleppo to Babylon will tell by
smelling the desert sand how near they
are to the latter place-.

When a Mississippi River steam
boat has passed Cairo, bound down,
there is no opportunity to obtain deck
aands till Memphis is reached. Conse
quently the colored roustabouts have
things all their own way in that ahort
space.
On a recent trip the passengers
oame on deck at Hickman, Ky to find
the steamer lying Idle, and the crew
reposing peacefully on boxes and
bales on deck, and on the sloping
bank.
"What's the matter?" some one ask
ed the captain.
""Niggers struck for two hours'
rest," he replied, patiently.
After many vexatious delays Uie
vessel reached CaruthersTllle, Mo,
and there It lay In Idleness the next
morning when the passengers came
out
"What's wrong?" again asked one
passenger.
"Niggers struck for bread-rolls for
breakfast. Say they're tired of hard
tack," said the officer, etlll without
vexation.
A third morning the awakening pas
sengers found their vessel again
moored by the riverside, this time at
Barfield, Ark. On the bank were the
roustabouts, holding a noisy meeting.
"Strike again?" asked a passenger.
"No, seh," replied the captain, "but
there's going to be. The niggers are
up on the bank, tryin' to decide what
they'll strike for next. I'm right cross
at 'em, though, and ef they don't agree
pretty soon I'm going to cut and leave
'em, and deliver my freight on the
way back." Youth's Companion.

which were built 700 years ago. It Is
a fine plnce, with magnificent panel

Cromwell onco slept, a priests' hiding
place and a ghost. Tho priests' hiding
place Is concealed by a spring door.
The present occupant of the house says
that during the night Bounds of foot
steps are heard on the landing, nud It
Is Impossible to keep the door of this
room closed. On one occasion the foot
steps were accompanied by a loud
bump nt the door of another room.

BsoreUlua; Disease,
Very curious methods were em
ployed by the ancient Babylonians to
exorcise disease. Tlio sucking pig and
kid played an Important part In the
remedies. The pig or kid was to be
killed, cut up and placed upon tho sick
man. The heart of the pig, which had
beon placed upon the sick man's heart,
was to be held by him, nnd the pig's
heart was to be na his heart, the blood
as his blood, the flesh as his flesh, and
the pig was to be In his stead. The
virgin kid was dealt with In the same
way, being placed upon the sick man.
