No difference to you how we got them —but we got them. A
whole lot of watches which we cannot wear out aurselves, and not
being in the watch business we decided to give them to our custom
ers. These watches are not toy watches but good reliable time- ;
keepers and handsome. Now we will give one of these watches to ,
any person buying at our store until further notice, blankets, robes,,
sleigh, buggy or wagon harness or other goods, amounting to $lO or
over at one time. We charge you nothing for the watch—it is a
present for you—of course you can readily see that if the watch cost
us even a dollar or two we could not aftord to do it. but to be can-

you to believe they arc worthless—wc carry one ourselves and find
them good reliable timekeepers. Here now is a good chance to get
a watch for nothing because we give you the goods you buy at least j
10 per cent, less than you can buy them elsewhere, which would
mean $i i worth of goods for siO and a good watch for good fellow

TMIi WEDDING RINO.
Death lurks in every place in this " vale
Of tears." There is no happiness, no joy, no
jilj n * cn are con
quently there
Is death in the embrace of love, and the
first touch of baby-fingers is sueceded by
the chilly grasp of the glim destroyer.
If wives and mothers would only resort
to the right remedy when they suffer from
weakness and disease of the delicate and
important feminine organs that are baby's
threshold to life, there would be fewer hus
bands bereft, and fewer homes saddened
by an infant's loss. Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription makes the feminine organs
strong, healthv and vigorous. It fits for
wifehood and motherhood. It banishes the
maladies of the period of suspense, and
makes baby's entry to tlie world easy and
comparatively painless. An honest drug
gist will not try to induce a customer to
take an inferior substitute for this great
remedy, for the sake of extra profit.
" Sragle was a great sufferer from a com
bination of female diseases, a fewyears ago. from
which she has been entirely cured by the use of
Or Pierce's Favorite prescription, writes Geo.
V Seagle. Esq.. of Box 130. Wvtheville. Va. " She
is thoroughly convinced that there is no medi
cine on earth equal to the ' Favorite Prescription.'
and she doesn't hesitate to say so. She has rec
ommended it to her lady friends, and in all cases,
where it has been given a fair trial, it has given
entire satisfaction."
In cases of constipation and torpid liver,
no remedy is equal to Dr. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets. They regulate and invigorate the
stomach, liver and bowels. They never fail.
One little " Pellet " is a gentle laxative ana
two a mild cathartic. They never gripe.
An honest dealer will not urge a substitute
upon you.

Dear Madam: —We have used your
Malarial Bitters for several months past
and find it the very best tonic we have
ever used to effectual wipe out all traces
of malarial fever.
My wife has been sickly, feverish,
weak and languid for the past four
seasons, and tried almost everything.
We heard so much of your bitters that
I concluded to try it ; my wife's appetite
has returned and she is strong, well and
sprightly again and all owing to your
Peruvian Malarial Bitters.

The Asre <>t'Niagara
At first it was estimated that the
Niagara river came into existence
through changes in the level of the
lanel round the lakes, about 55,000 yeats
ago; but later it was reduced to only
12,000 }"ears. Sir Ch;irles Lyell increas
ed the estimate again to 85,000 years;
but more recently others have lowered
it to alxmt O.ifcM) years. -The latest
estimate places the age of river at
32,000 years, and that of the cataract at
31,000 years. At one period the height
of falls was 420 feet.—Ex.

Hallowe'en Talk.
Some people think-and withgexjd rea
son that no holiday is a c> throughly en
joyable as is the evening liefore All
Saint s Dav Hallowmas Eve or Hal
lowe'en. It is the one occasion upon
which all formality is laid aside and
every one goes in for a thoroughly good
time. Any frolic is permissible or any
ceremony, however extravagant, may
be indulged in because of the popular
superstitions attaching to this niirht.
for with its quaint customs and invstic
trieks it holds forth unbounded oppor
tunities for merriment and pleasure.
If preparing to entertain guests that
night it is a good plan to clear your
rooms of all unnecesary furniture and
let all the light in them come from Jack
o lanterns made from pnnkins with the
pulp removed and and a large incision
made to represent a face on one side
over this paste colored paper, a differ
ent color for each punkin. and in it
make incisions for eyes, nose, month,
as many do just in the punkin. but
these many colored faces in a dark room
are more effective than the ordinary
Jack-o'-lantern. Don't light the candles
placed inside until the guests arrive.
The supper served should be apropos
of the occasion and should consist of
salads, sanwiches, crullers, apples,
olives, little tea-biscuits, nuts, coffee
and cider.
The ideal place to have a Hallowe'en
party is a large, old fashioned barn; but
failing in this, the kitchen or living
room, if it has an open fire place, for
wherever possible a roaring crackling
fire is not only in keeping and pretty
but necessarv for some of the frolics.
A small Jack-o'-lantern with oranges
apples, grapes anel nuts heaped all
ronnd makes an appropriate centerpiece
for table.
The room decorations need not be ex
pensive to be charming. Autumn
leaves are pretty and can be had now in
abundance, bi anches of wheat or grasses
over pictures and in vases' ears of ripen
ed corn disposed here and there and
strimgs of cranberries festooned around
will make as consistent and pretty effect
as elesired.
The familiarity of the time honored
customs detracts nothing from their
enjoyment, and the s-tnie games are
entered into year after year, with, of
anything, added zest. The whole idea
of the night seems to center in the pair
ing of lad and lass, so the bnrni ng of
chestnuts before the fire is a great
favorite. They are named, and if they
burn steadily all will do well, but if
they jump apart then the course of true
love is destined not to run smooth
Bobbing for apples causes a lot of merri -
ment. A suspended fork with an apple
on one end and a lighted candle on the
other, when set revolving, presents
many difficulties to one trying to get a
bite of the apple. Another way to en
tertain your guests is to have w hat is
called the Hidden Wedding Ring 'in
a peaked plate of flour, each one to
take off a layer with a knife,
the one that uncovers the ring must
pick it up with his or her teeth. Melt
ed lead ponred through the loop of a
key determines the occupations of a
maid's future husband by the shape it
takes when falling into cold water.
If it should fall into a solid lump celib
acy will be her fate. The weal or woe
test consists ia trying to throw an
apple through a horse shoe suspended
in a door way at a convenient height.
If successful prosperity, and happiness
will be his or hers; if not, vice versa.
