SaJe of Fine Fur Hat Shapes.
$1.90 for choice oi $3.50, U and 5 Hats.
A few days ago when a large New York importer wired
us that he would close out all his fine lur hat shapes at a price
which we knew was less than one-half cost, we lost no time in
accenting his offer. When we say that there are no better
shapes made either in this or any other country, we are not ex
aggerating. The quality is the very best fur felt; and what is
known as two-piece shapes. Colors are black, navy, green
grey, taupe, brown and garnet. You can select any 5 shape
you may have in mind and the cost now will be but
Trimmed Hats at $5 and $7.50.
$5 and $7.50 are the charmed figures about which the
millinery store groups some most most attractive hats. You
could probably count one hundred and fifty of them which are
on special tables in the millinery store for today's selling. A
few of these hats were specially trimmed in our own work rooms
to sell at $a and 7.50 a good deal better than ordinary value.
Most of them however are from assortments of hats that have
been selling at considerable higher figures. The offering rep
resents all colors and black large and small styles, and there
are a few dressy black toques and bonnets lor elderly ladies.

"Don't those clouds over there look

"No; I haven't seen ft whale yet, but

Fortune For Forgers,
The last person to suffer death for
forgery In Ixmdon was a Thomas May-
nard, who was executed on Iec. 31.
1820. It was not, however, until 1S32
that the death penalty for the crime
was replaced by transportation, though
even then an exception was made In
the case of forging or altering a
will. This exception was not removed
from the statute book until 1S37. In
the days of good Queen Hess a forger
of deeds wns very severely dealt with.
He had to stand in the pillory; his ears
were cut off, his nose slit, and he was
branded with hot Irons. If he survived
these ordeals he was doomed to Im
prisonment for the rest of his days,
and everything he possessed In the
world was forfeited to the crown.
Surely death would have been far
more merciful.

70 Suits all told. The prices will be 14 M) and 814 75, $16.50 and
I1C 75, $18 50 and $18.75.
The 32 Suits designated as sample suits are not sample suits in
the strict sense of the word. We'll explain this seeming paradox
during the past two weeks we've been in correspondence with a Fifth
Avenue tailor, concerning upward of one hundred suits which he had
declined to ship to a western merchant on account of bis uncertain
mercantile rating.
The best tailored suits we have in stock come from this tailor an,
knowing the kind of suits they would be, we allowed him to send us
32 of them the balance went to a merchant in a neighboring city.
They were sent subject to approval, but as they were nice suits
and a very generous allowance was made us on them we kept the
entire lot. These 32 suits with the 44 from our regular stock, com
prise the most important suit transaction of the season. All are this
season's suits that statement is roost positively. Tho styles are ab
solutely correct. Mateiials are of tho best and the .colors are those
in greatest demand.

Surprise your folks tomorrow morn
ing with a dish of Puffed Wheat or
Puffed Rice.
Then let them pass judgment.
Go back to the old foods if your
folks think them better. But we
know that you won't go back.
These are curious foods, but not
made to be curious. The object was
to make them digestible.
They are exploded by steam for the
simple purpose of blasting the starch
granules to pieces.
But the result is crisp, gigantic
grains, made four times as porous as
bread.
The result is unbroken, nut-like
grains, ready to melt in the mouth.
Foods that the children like.
They are liked so well that seven
teen million dishes were consumed
last month. Now it is your turn to
try them.
Puffed Wheat-lOc Puffed Rice-15c
These are the foods invented by Prof. An
derson, and this is his curious process:
The whole wheat or rice kernels are put into
sealed guns. Then the guns are revolved for
sixty minutes in a heat of 550 degrees.
That fierce heat turns the moisture in the
grain to steam, and the pressure becomes tremendous.
Then the guns are unsealed, and the steam
explodes. Instantly every starch granule is
blasted into a myriad particles.
The kernels of grain are expanded eight
times. Yet the coats are unbroken, the shapes
arc unaltered. We have simply the magnified
grain.
One package will tell you why people de
light in them. Order it now.
