SORROW WITH A PURPOSE.
MILLINERY
Is at the Zenith of Its Spring
BeaAity.
Hats are here in gorgeous array every shape, every style
that is to be the least bit lashionable.
It has been by all odds so lar our best millinery season.
Yet the stock is so large, and the assortment so broad, at every
price, that there is plenty choosing for all comers.
You are not confined in your choice here to just a few of
the popular shapes for we have given the broadest possible
latitude to our trimmers and designers with a result that is
startling and superb. Likewise, the many Hats that have come
to us from most prominent foreign and American designers
they too take on a degree of variation that is extraordinary and
unusual. Choose early if you possibly can.
Prices begin at $5, at which there is good assortment of
styles; a much broader selection at $7.50 and $ 10 and then on
and up the price ladder to as much as you'll care to pay lor ex
clusivcness and extravagance of style.
The Cutest "Lids" for the Cut
est "Kids," $1.00.
A one dollar bill brings you your choice of several hundred
of the prettiest, neatest little trimmed hats you have ever seen.
How can we afford to sell them at so small a price That's
what everybody asks. It's a wonder to you, but it's a greater
wonder to our competitors. They can't understand how we can
sell the same hats for $1 that they are obliged to pay twice that
for. Just the same, we do it every season. The youngsters
are great friends of ours. We always look out for their interests

SILVERBROOK
By Eva Gormley.
Original.
"ou can never be anything la
this small village." How these
words resounded In Dorothea's ears.
That morning her music teacher had
complimented her on a piece of mu
tlc which she had composed herself;
he also offered her a brilliant open
ing at th,e Music Academy in a great
distant city. Dorothea had conclud
ed to accept the offer, after some
meditation. After the professor'!
departure, however, ho halt regrett
ed her reply, for Bhe loved the dear,
little native village, with its kindly
Inhabitants and pretty scenery. That
was not all she must leave behind,
for there was the patient Invalid mo
ther, two brothers and Ralph, the
playmate of her earlier days. That
wave of homesickness already en
gulfed her. but she hastily put these
sad thoughts away, replacing them
by ones of a more brilliant tone.
She imagined herself in the great
academy, playing her latest compo
positlon In music before an enthus
iastic audience; Bhe heard the ap
plauses, the encores certainly this
step that she was about to take
offered a more inviting future than
did the quiet, quaint, hld-away town
of SUverbrook. So Dorothea really
started the following week. The
mother and brothers had felt loth to
part for even a year from the favor
ite of the farmhouse, to say nothing
of Ralph who tried in vain to dis
suade her from it. but fame and am
bltion always cause seperatlons.
The academy was dazzling with
lights and was crowded with an ex
pectant throng of music lovers. They
were all anxious to see the new
musician who was to appear that
night; their wish was soon fulfilled,
for that person, none other than
Dorothea Oliver, lightly stepped on
the stage, seated herself at the piano
RALPH REASONED WITH HER.
and commenced to arrange the music
Her heart beat, her fingers trembled
this was her opening.
'Play 'SUverbrook' when you have
finished all the others. It will cap
tivate the audience with its charm
and simplicity," the professor said
softly as Dorothea struck the first
barB of the classic piece, for she was
not only going to play her own com
positions, but those of others. The
music sounded well the people ap
plauded, but Dorothea felt she had
not done her best.
The last piece, "SUverbrook," win
reached. The professor stepped out
and gave a short explanation of the
music, communicating to the audi
ence the fact that the composition
was to bring to the mind a picture
of country beauty. Now the young
musician had played "SUverbrook"
many times without feeling any par
ticular emotion, so she placed the
piece before her almost llstlesssly.
As the music reached its full melo
dy Dorothea felt herself carried back
to the village she had so recently
left. The music was so skilfully ar
ranged that It brought a minute pic
ture to the mind with each measure.
Dorothea lost herself; she saw the
pretty little bay that bathed the
shores of SUverbrook; she saw the
maple and fir trees rising in ma
jesty on the background. Then, as
the music softened, the tiny Bllver
brook glided before her with crystal
smoothness, laughing merrily over
Its stone-paved floor. The song of the
birds came In a glad, swelling chorous
now the trees rustled with a mystic,
plaintive sound. Last of all Dorothea
could see a sweet-faced lady seated'
beneath the shady elms, two broth
ers sad and lonely and Ralph, dis
consolate and weary.
Tears streamed down Dorothea'i
cheeks; tears coursed freely In the
audience. Part of the picture had
been made clear to them, but the
saddest, saddest portion had touch
ed Dorothea's heart. She hastened
from the stage, while the professor
explained her non-appearance to the
encores to be due to her youth and
strangeness. The warm-hearted an
dlence In that great city never saw
how "Silverbrook's composer rushed
gladly into the walling arms of
certain person that very next day,
for after all fame and fortune could
not bring her the Joy of home at
SUverbrook.

About six weeks ago a swelling came

about the size of a half lemon very painful
and said to be caused by blood poison. I
doctored about six weeks, and was get

about San-Cura Ointment. I applied It
as a poultice, changing morniug and

days it broke, discharging pus. I then
changed it once a day until it wa9 per

Tears Secured a Bust But Failed to
Win a Canvas.
Some months ago the King of Eng
land received at his place at Sanu
rlngham the King of Greece, who was
ncconipanled by one of his young
aides-de-camp. As Edward VII. was
doing the honors, exhibiting hla gal
lery, aud his guest was aamirlng a
bt:st of a young woman, the charming
work of the sculptor Thornycroft, the
King was much surprised at an ex
plosion of sobs. It was the young
Captain, who was weeping and who
excused himself in these wordB: "Will
your Majesty pardon me? This bust
is the perfect Image of a sister whom
I loved most tenderly. It recalls to
me a loss, alas! never to be forgot
ten." "In that case," responded the Kin!?,
prcntly moved, "permit me to offer
it to you."
And through the care of Sir Fran
cis Knollys the marb'.e was transport
ed to the apartment of this sorrowing
brother.
Time passed. The young Captain
returned to London. Quite recently
he visited the admirable collection,
of the Duke of Cambridge and recog
nised with renewed sorrow In a can
vaa of Burne-Jones the features of
the afftjel he had lost.
The Duke perhaps would have had
the same generosity as King Edward
brt some one was present who had wit
nessed the scene at Sandrlnghnm. So
the Ingenious Greek did not this time

country. Le Cri de Paris.
Law of Life.
What Is the true law of our moral
life? Thnt Is the question which
every age sets itself to solve, and to
the solution of which every contribu
tion Is welcome. And the answer
that George Eliot gives Is that there
is a reign of law In the moral as well
as In the physical world, and that this
law cannot be broken with Impunity.
"A a man soweth so shall he also
reap."
The Worst Load.
The worst load a man can carry is
that of habits begotten of evil pas

deeds, which In their accumulation,

World.
Oitmal Profession.
The question was recently asked
in a newspaper, "What is the most
d!smal of professions?" Among those
that occurred to us as having a claim
to be so considered were grave dig
ging, scavenging, listening to Par
liamentary orations through an all
night sitting, and the writing of po
ems or articles that nooody reads.

City life Is like an Intoxicant. Once

Abstaining Provosts.

however, can claim as a result of the

llesl Trealnirnt for Culils.
"Most ordinary colds will yield to the
simplest treatment," says the Chicago
Tribune, "moderative laxatives, hot foot
baths, a free prespiratlon and an avoid'
ance of exposure to cold and wet alter
treatment." While this treatment is
simple, it requires considerable trouble,
and the one adopting It must remain In
doors for a day or two, or a fresh cold is
almost sure to be contracted, and In many
instances pneumonia follows. Is It not
better to pin your faith to an old reliable
preparation like Chamberlain's Cough
Remody, that i famous for 11m cures of
colds and can always be depended upon?
