I OOITD STAND ANOTHI-'.Il. Smart & Silberbers: Tailored For Easter The Largest and Finest Line we have Ever Shown The calendar may be discarded, the "weather probs." ignored. It's settled spring is here "for keeps." How do we know 1 Ask the robins. Haven't you seen them? When, think yoa, did those harbingers of spring ever err in climatic calculations? Ground-hogs way at times have proved false prophets, but robins never. Did they ever return to their northern haunts till it was spring in ear nest? Of course it's spriog, but do you realize that it's so near Easter? Aye, and it will be here before you know it. So, why not give prompt attention to those mo mentous problems "What kind of a Spring Suit shall I choose?" and "Where shall I get it?" May we help ia the solution? This season W6 carry iu the neighborhood of 500 Tailored Coats. Not only is it the largest Hue we have ever shown, but no matter we must not appear boast ful. Big stock aud bewildering variety ore not the pole considerations that will turn the tide of Suit trade in this direction. There is the fact of modest -cost which has much to do with it. This season suit materials are light in weight and color. &o, you see, "Spring Suits" is a misnomer, for they are so light and airy that they will be equally adapt able for summer. Among these filmy fabrics, voilles and chiffon Panamas are pronounced favorites. So great is the demand in this direction that a scarcity has already developed. Eaoh day from now till Easter we shall tempt you with a specially uttractive value iu Suits or Coats. SMART & SILBERBERG, OIL CITY, PA. Oil City Trust Company. Piesident, JOSEPH SEEP.

A group of traveling men were dis cussing unique feats uud physical tricks that people here unl there euu do. "I know a Chicajronn," snld oue, "who can whistle u tune and hum its aec-onipnuiiiiciit ut the same' time. lie whistles through u Oat, not through tlio usual round hole, und the deep, musical accompaniment together with the shrill sweetness of the whistle makes a mighty uttractive thing to hear." "I knew 11 lmrbcr," on Id the second drummer, "who had a unique way of cracking nuts. He would place n nut between the back of his head and a stone or brick wall, und then he would give himself a sharp rap on the fore head with his list. The nuts would crack open every time." "A Mauayuiik man," said the third, "can give his head a jerk that turns back his eyelids. He has to turn them down again with his lingers. This Is un ugly feat, and I'm glad It la rare." "I knew at school," said the fourth drummer, "n hoy named Bueky Ad ams who could play tunes by snapping Ids fingers. The thumb ar.d first two fingers of each hand would work away busily, and forth would come the clear est, sweetest, faintest music. I used to sit with l'.ucUy Adams, and many a tedious school session would he make shorter and pleusauler with this odd Rift."-New York 1'iess. 'I'lie ellnra of Murdrum.

Other creatures than the camel on able to get aljng fur extended perlodl without drinking. Sheep in the south western deserts gu for forty to slxt days Iu winter without drink, grazing on the green, succulent vegetation ol that season, roecaries in the desert ol Solium live In little dry hills where there Is no natural water for long peri ods. They cannot possibly find water in fact, for months at 11 time. The only moisture they can obtaiu comes frore roots and the fruits of cacti, but tin most extraordinary case is that of the pocket mouse, one of the common ro dent of the desert. This little creature, by the way, has u genuine fur lined "pocket" on the outside of its cheek. When It Is hungry It takes food from this pocket with its paw, just as a man would pull a ham sandwich from hit pocket. One of those mice has bees kept for three years with no other food than tho mixed bird seed of commerce. During this period It had not a tnsto of either water or green food. Other ex perimenters have found, In fact, that these mice In captivity refuse sucb treats, not seeming to know that water Is good to drink. The bird seed put'be fore this mouse contained not more than Id per cent of moisture, which is less than Is necessary for digestion. StulT so dry as this cannot even be swallowed until It Is moistened by saliva. Vet this remarkable mouse gave nothing but his time to the Inter ests of science, lie suffered nothing in health or spirits during his captivity. Brooklyn Fugle. Xol n Horn Porprer. The Indorsement of checks Is a very simple thing, but, as the following story will show, it, too, has (n difncultles: A woman went into a bank whero she had severnl times presented checks drawn to Mrs. Lucy B. Smith. This time the check was made to the order of Mrs. M. J. Smlth-M. J. were her husband's Initials. She explained this to the paying teller nnd asked what she should do. "Oh, that is all right," he said. "Just Indorse It as it is written there." She took the check and, after much hesitation, said, "( don't think I can make nu M like that." They Wore Not the Kind the I-ady Had Iteferred To. A commercial traveler tells the following of a little social gathering in eastern Ontario: "Dinner was a little late. A guest asked the hostess to play something. Seating herself at the piano, the good woman exe cuted a Chopin nocturne with precis ion. She finished, and there wns still an interval of waiting to be bridged. In grim silence she turned to an old gentleman on her right nnd said: "Would you like a sonata before dinner?" lie gave, a start of sur priso nnd pleasure. "Why, yes, thanks!" he said. "I had a couple on my way here, but I think I could stand another. " Still Smiling. Tho visitor in the South wns offer ing his sympathies to the old colored parson. "It's a shame, uncle," said tho visitor, "thnt tho congregation should drop buttons in the plate when you were collecting your sal ary."

"Just what Ah need, snh. Yo' see Ah'm gulne to build a cohnhouse en Ah'll need d"o nails to drive in the shingles." "But the lead nickels. What are you going to do with them, throw them away?" "No, sah; Ah'm gulne to make sinkers foh niah fishing lines. Glory, hallaluynh!" A Wedding Fee in Instalments. Geraldine When are we to be married?
