LITTLE MARY'S ESSAYS
NEAR RELATIONS—
BY DOROTHY DIX
Near relations Is
folks that you ought
to be fond of, and
ain't.
There are two
kinds of near rela
tion's, your mama's
near relations, and
your papa's near re
lations, and when
you are very, very
good, and you don't
muss your dress,
nor lose your hair
ribbon, and your
teacher gives you a
good report, then
you are like your
mama's near relations. But when you
are naughty and tear your dress, and
behave like the old Scratch, then you
are like your papa's near relations.
I know this is true because my
mama says so.
There are more near relations in
the world than anything else except
fleas, which are too numerous to men
tion; also they are like fie: because
when you get them in the house it is
hard to get rid of them.
I do not know much about the hab
its of near relatives except that they
spend their lime in visiting, and in
telling people what they ought to do.
When my mama's near relatives
come to our house they say that it is
a shame for him to smoke in the par
lor, and drink beer with his dinner,
which will lead him to a drunkard's
ITCHING RASH ON

stand and Cuticura Soap and then used the
Cuticura Ointment. He was cured in two
months." (Signed) Mrs. G. SaUer, Oct. 15, 'l3.

Prevent dry, thin and falling hair, allay
Itching and irritation of the scalp, remove
crusts and scales, and promote the growth

with Cuticura Soap, assisted by occasional
dressings with Cuticura Ointment, afford a
most effective • and economical treatment.

BUSINESS GETTERS
Every business man is constantly
figuring on the best methods of get
ting more business. Methods vary
but the dodger, the hand bill and
poster are now relics of antiquity.
Facsimile letters, so much like the
original typewritten ones, that even an
expert cannot detect the difference, is
the modern way. Weaver Typewriting

IS IT ALL FADED?
year's linen suit may be so
faded that you do not think it worth
while to have it cleaned. But, you
know, we can dye it almost any de
sired color and make it just like new.
If it is still serviceable, though soiled
or faded, send it to us, the old reli
able cleaning and dyeing establish
ment. Compton's, 1006 North Third
street, branch 121 Market street.
YOUR NKVF HOME
Young folks who start housekeeping
in June should be sure to start right
by eliminating all unnecessary drudg
ery. The modern method of "doing"
the family wash is the Troy laundry
way. The young wife does not get ex
hausted and nervous and set the house
topsy-turvy. Begin right by sending
for the Troy laundry wagon. Either
phone.
WE CERTAINLY WILL
send the prescription or anything that
you want from this drug store. If
you will simply step to the phone and
tell us what your requirements are,
or if you should need medicines or
emergency helps we will be double
quick in getting them to you. E. Z.

i gfave, and they wonder where he goes
when he goes down town at night.
And my father says Damn.
When my father's near relatives
come to our house they say that my
mother dresses too fine and stylish
and that she should stay at home,
and cook dinner instead of playing
bridge, and that she should raise her
children better. My mother is a lady,
and she does not say damn. She
slams the door when she leaves the
room when my papa's near relatives
are.
My mother's near relatives always
call her "Poor Mary."
Any my father's near relatives al
ways call him ' Poor John."
I do not know why this Is so, un
less it is the way near relatives are
built.
When people are your near rela- j
tions they tell you the things you do
not want to hear, but a stranger!
speaks to you polite and agreeable. i
When your near relatives are rich, j
or have been generals in the war, or I
something great, you brag about them, I
and call them ancestors, but when 1
they are poor and have a little store j
In the back street you do not mention I
them at all.
Sometimes a near relative gives
you a nickel to buy candy with, but I
most times they say, "My, how for-'
ward children are now! They didn't I
behave that way in my days!"
That is all that I know at present
about near relations.

GOOD SHOWS AT THE COLONIAL
The question often is asked how the
Colonial management can supply the
big show that it does and ask no
| higher price of admission than the
nominal sum that one has to slip
through the cashier's window to get
a ticket in return. The answer is that
the Colonial has to play to big crowds
all the time to make it pay. But there
is no danger of the crowd 3 not being
big enough when it is considered that
for summer show going the Colonial
offers advantages that probably no
other theater in Pennsylvania can
boast of. It has a wonderful ventilat
ing system, that draws thousands of
cubic feet of fresh air into the house
every minute, sending the warm air
skyward through roof vents backed
up by exhaust fans as big as some
theaters are themselves. One of the
new acts that comes to the Colonial
to-morrow for the remainder of the
week will be the Frescotts, sensational
mind readers.—Advertisement.

Summing up the main points again
Self praise may be half flattery" —but telling again the story of this
sale and what led up to it, cannot be resisted.
This co-operative idea was born of bigness. Its organizers, including
ourselves, gave it breadth, scope and liberalities.
We put a good piano back of it —upon which the idea could stand:
a piano which for years has sold at varying prices up to as high as four
hundred dollars.
We fixed its price at the lowest possible dollar that the most economical
selling methods would permit— two hundred and forty-eight dollars
and seventy-five cents.
We planned to distribute them without adding interest to this
price.
We arrange the easiest sort of payments— one dollar and twenty -
five cents a week.
We charge the most nominal cash fee to participate in this sale—
five dollars-- and even credited this five dollars to the price of the
instruments selected.
We delivered the instrument immediately— notwithstanding, in scores
of instances, the five dollar initial payment did not cover the cartage.
We planned an exchange privilege, which gives the purchaser a year
to fully satisfy himself as to the high character of the piano he obtains.
We got up a joint guarantee which stands to-day as the strongest guarantee given upon
anything that is offered for sale.
We are making it a voluntary practice to cancel all payments remaining unpaid, in event
that a purchaser dies before his piano ———————————————________.

W E are so likely to forget. We
are so likely to put off. We
get in the habit of thinking that we
have plenty of time for this or
that.
This great piano sale is now in
mind—when we pencil these thoughts.
We have in mind that it was even
our own expectation, when this sale
opened, that it would continue at
least three weeks longer.
Now we know that it cannot possibly run for
two weeks longer.
This sale has been electrifying. It has been
huge—gigantic—stupendous in its success.
Like a snow-ball rolling down hill, it has
gathered size and strength as it progressed.
Yesterday we could scarcely serve our cus
tomers. To-day—the same thing—and to
morrow, being Thursday—and this reminder
to quicken your coming—we no doubt will have
the largest single day's orders to fill of any
one day since this big movement was an
nounced.
Is it, therefore, too much to ask that you
come in the forenoon, if you can find it conve
nient to do so?
The playerpfano plan
ts also outlined again
ONE HUNDRED player-pianos are also
being sold on this co-operative plan.
The usual price of these plaver
pianos is five hundred and fifty dollars each.
The co-operative price is three hundred and
ninety-five dollars, with NO INTEREST to
be added.
The player-piano will also be delivered im
mediately upon the payment of five dollars.
The payments will be two dollars a week —
giving you one hundred and ninety-five weeks'
time in which to make your payments —the
same as on the piano. The same unconditional
guarantee that is given on the piano is given
on the player-piano.

tarily cancelled in

Also, a player-piano bench and nine rolls of
music (your own selection) are included with
out extra charge.
An arrangement will be made with each
purchaser whereby new player rolls can be pro
cured at a cost of only five cents a roll.
These player-pianos are standard 88-note
players; that is they play every note on the
piano when the music roll is in motion.
These player-pianos have an automatic
shifter which compels the music to play per
fectly. Most player-pianos sold at from two
hundred to two hundred and fifty dollars more
than these will not play perfectly. These
player-pianos have lead tubing. Most player
pianos have rubber tubing. The life of rubber
is one year— at most. Lead lasts forever. It
cannot wear out and the tubing in these pianos
is so placed it cannot be broken. (
