And to tliU day that young man will

All thin hapH'ned away "down oast,"
and It wasn't lotitf hi-foin thoiv was a
wedding. Not .much longor before
thero oamo a letter fron )Mi1ly'a Uncle
Josh, out horo In western Pennsylvania
who wroto effusively of hla delight at
hor exhibition of what he called "grit."
and he proxsed that If tho young peo
ple would locato at Roynoldavilln he
would start them up In life, as a wed
ding gift. Of course thny accepted, and
were Boon bidding their friends adieu.
A few weeks milwequont to tho aliovo
conversation a travol-stalned party ar
rived In Itoynoldsvlllo. Our friend,
TT ' - T 1. , . I , ( , ,
uuuii; uimii, nun in ciiurge unu no leu
the party straightway toa hotel. "Tho
McConnell" said ho, "is a typical hotel
of the best class. I have known Prank J.
Black, tho proprietor, for yeai-s and he
is mine host after mine own heart. A
thorough business man, endowed with
that dellghtfut Intuition that makes a
guest feel at home, comfortable, con
tented, and in mighty good luck. Tho
house Is one of convenience. I have en
gaged i-ooms here for you to occupy
until your own hoimo is in readiness."
"After breakfast," said tho old man,
"I am ready to go buy your outfit. To
expedite matters I have ordered a car
riage from E. C. Murns.our enterprising
livery man." When tho handsome
carriago, with prancing horses drew up
In front of the hotel Polly declared it
tho "finest turnout she had ever seen."
"Yes." replied Undo Josh, "tho three
Ss s, 'bpeeil, Safety and Style,' Is Hums
coat of arms. So, young folks, whan
you want to take a drive, either for
business or pleasure go to him for a rig
every time."
, "Where to?" asked the polite driver as
the trio entered the conveyance, Uncle
Josh looked askance at tho wards.
"Oh, goodness knows there's lots to
ljuy," remarked Polly. "Then suppose
we buy 'lots' first," quoth Charley with-
uiii turning a nuir. uncio josn saw
the point and started for E. Ncff's real I
estate office, remarking on the way:
"I can always depend on Mr. Neff for
bargains in real estate, as ho novor
holds out fulso lights to Induce the
pooplo to buy. What ho, tells you
about property, may bo set down as solid
facts. Tie controls a largo list of de
sirable residences and his judgement on
the 'good things' is par excellence.''
Tho house was quickly bargained for
and then Uncle Josh explained to
Charley, should he evor have any hard
collections It would bo wise to place
such difficult business in the hands of
Mr. Noff.
"Having provided you with a cago
(or the bird," said Undo Josh, "now
the first thing we'll look after will bo
tho furnishings for It." Hereupon
Polly energetically declared that she
had heard so much about Prlester Bros,
that she had decided to go there. The
rosuU was that they wero ushored Into
such a bewildering display that the girl
was at first at a loss how to select. But
she soon yielded to, the seductiveness of
a magnificent parlor suite, a lied room
set in oak, antique finish, that would do
a credit to old Antiquity herself. To
this she added a dining-room set with
all accessories, carpots, and didn't for
get a most convenient and ornamental
writing desk for "Hubby" Charles.
"A pretty good start," said the old
man, "and now we'll go to A. E. Dunn's
hardware store." "Hero Polly's house
wife Instincts hnd full play in marvels
of kitchen apparatus. "There is not an
establishment in the' country that
carries a more comprehensive stock of
household furnishings," remarked
Uncle Josh. "Every possible piece of
kitchen furniture from a dipper to a
oooklng range is here In all styles and
variety." If Polly falls to accomplish
wonders in the culinary art, It will not
be (or wantof s uperlor cooking utensils,
for the purchased a Good Luck cook
stove with all equipments needed in a
well regulated kitchen, besides an
elegant heater for the parlor, which
Uncle Josh paid (or with an air of
honest delight because he knew Mr.
Dunn had made prloea right.
"Let's see I promised you a gold
watch didn't I," queried Uncle Josh of
Polly, "and Ed. Gooder'a Is the place to
get ono cheap." Entering tho popular
jewelry a tore tho old man gallantly
acquitted himself of the promise and
then directed Polly's attention to th
superior stock of silverware carried by
the house. "There Is no other such
house, In town," said tho old man, "and I
will guaranteo the quality to bo tbo
very best, Pick out your family clock
while, hero," ho added, "Ed. Oooder
carries a mngniflcetit line. Don't forgot
another fact," he continued, "If ever
you unfortunately need optlcat goods,
this Is tho place to come. Ho has
everything required to Improve affect
ed eyes and say, my boy, when that old
turnip of yours breaks down, remember
Oooder Is, an expert doctor on sick
watches."
After this visit Uncle Josh suggested
a resort to some place of refreshment.
At tho table the old man waxed philo
sophical. "Never neglect your larder,"
said ho. "That Important adjunct to
housekeeping controls, miiHMilhm tem
per. To that end yon must pntmnlzo
n grocer on whom yen can depend for
honest goods. In all my experience
with them I have found Moore & Dick
inson perfectly reliable, You will find
this firm careful dealers, always fully
stocked with every possible thing In
the line of staple and fancy groceries,
fresh and flrst-elnss, nn shelf-worn goods
there, whllo tho prices are down to
brass tacks."
"Halt!" commanded Undo Josh, as
tho party camo in front of H. Alex.
Stoko's handsome drug atom. "Walk
right In." "Why, Uncle, wo'er not
sick, and" "Guess I know that, but I
susMct it wont be long before this
young man Wins to tnke an interest in
matters of paragorlcand " "U-n-c-l-e!"
"Well, go In anyway, Polly may find
some toilet articles she wants." Sure
enough, before leaving she was loaded
down with comlw, brushes, face powdors
and ounce upon ounce of fine Imported
perfumes. Sho also got a supply of
beautiful wall paper and Charley made
himself a present of an 181)0 wheel.
"Don't forget," added Undo Josh, "to
como here with your prescriptions as
Mr. Stoke is a competent pharmacist
and uses pure and reliable drugs."
At this point, somewhat to tho con
fusion of Charley, tho old man Indulged
In a half serious criticism of his personal
appearance. "You are decidedly off
stylo for a townsman," said be, "and
we'd better go and sen Bell tho clothier
alxnit somo new duds." After Char!es
had fitted himself in a neat suit, from
tho piles of fashlonahlfr garments that
cover tho tables of that extensively
stocked establishment, Undo Josh de
clared: "Now you look like a newly
married man." Before lenvlng, having
found goods and prices irresistable,
Charles also Invested in a complete out
fit of gents' furnishings, from the late
style hat to a dozen shirts besides a
convenient trunk and satchel. Bell
tho clothier is not to bo undersold in
tho statu.
"By the way," remarked Uncle Josh,
as they reached the street. "I must
run over to the First National Bank
and get another check book. Como
along with me and got acquainted with
J. II. Kaiicher for of course you will do
business with them and it is always
more pleasant to bo personally acquaint
ed with the people you do business with.
This bank is as solid as the base of the
univorso, and has a strong working
capital. You will find them over ready
to extend any accomodations compatible
with business principles."
"I would like to make you acquainted
with Dr. B. E. Harbison, my dentist
friend, too," said tho old man. "If you
ever have to supplement your natural
teoth " "Ugh! Don't you mention
false toeth to mo," cried Polly. "I'll
never carry 'pearly Hob' In my mouth If
I go toothless." "Oh, as (or that,"
laughod Undo Josh, "If you'll only con
sult a good dentist in time, you can save
the catastrophe. Dr. Harbison, for In
stance, Is wonderfully expert In saving
natural tooth and ho has the .skill and
every mechanical appliance necessary
to do his work with the least discom
fort to his patrons.
"Oh, say, Uncle," exclaimed Polly,
where can I go (or dry goods? This
dress Is hardly sultablo I must admit."
"Well, my girl, K you wan't to select
from ono of tho most popular establish
ments in tho city, I will direct you to
A. D. Deemer & Co., who carry a stock
of dress goods that for varloty and real
value Is seldom seen outside tho largo
metropolitan cities. They carry all tho
latest weaves In fashionable dress goods
and you are sure to be guided right in
your seloctions. You will find Manager
S. V. Shlck pleasant to deal with and
his employees pollto and export, while
the prices oannot be duplicated.
- Polly had soon selected an elegant
dress pattern and her Inquisitive eyes
glanced into the shoe department.
"Goodness mo!" she ejaculated, 'what
a porfeotly lovely slipper." "Yes," said
Uncle Josh, "Deemer & Co.'s stock of
shoes can't be equalled in style and ex
tent iu this section. Look it over." It
might have qc.on policy not ta have ex
tended that invitation had not Uncle
Josh known what wise economy It is to
trade at Deemer & Co.', (or Polly (ound
goods and prices so seductive that she
purchased an outfit from a pretty slip
per to a handsome walking boot, with
rubbers for tho orowd. No one needing
footwear or dry goods can resist the
stylet and prloea offered .by Deemer
&Co.
"Holy smoke, Charley, where In the
name of creation did you get that
snipe? That's about the worst weed
that ever came in contact with my ol
factory nerve," laughingly remarked
Unelri Josh. "Step In here and get ono
of Alex Klston's 'Hashish,' then you'll
havo a gentleman's smoke. That cigar
is a crackcr-iaek. contains all the ntmli-
ties of a delicious puff. Illston takes
great prldo to keen that duiir mi tn the
highest standard, and consequently It
grows more popular every day.," Char
ley was so well pleased with tho cigar
Uncle Josh treated him to that he
bought a wholo box Bnd advised his
undo to do the same. He also tixik
note of tho fine stock of chewing tobsc
co and, seeing that Ristou kept a com
plete stock of sporting goods ho bought
enough fishing tackle to catch every
fish In Western Pennsylvania.
'By tho way." exclaimed Undo Josh.
with a paternal air, "the next thing to
look after is tho lumber for those Im
provements which are absolutely neces
sary. Come with mo and I'll Introduce
you to H. ShalTer, who Is tho principal
dealer In that lino here, and he has a
well eqinpiH'il planing mill In connec
tli n. He carries the most complete lino
of building material in the county
everything, from the sills for the found
ation to tho shingles for tho roof, In
cluding doors nnd windows, mouldings,
etc. It Is pleasant to deal with Mr.
Slmllcr. for his greatest aim Is to give
satisfaction to every customer.
"I dicliuv, Uncle," exclaimed Char
Icy, "there goes a handsome phaeton:
I must have one like that for the girl."
"(tet it right here, saiil tho old man
"You see ,1. and 11. C. Delhlo conduct a
carriiige repository hero that for vai l
ety nnd excellence of stock can not be
beaten. I hoy carry surreys, carriages,
buggios and phaetons of lending makes
and styles, and are satisfied with a mod
erate profit, too. Tho superiority of
tiietr work is tho very host recommenda
tion I could give. Tho wagons they
put up are dandies. Delhlo Bros, give
their personal attention to every detail
of manufacture nnd uso only first-class
material." Uncle Josh know just what
ho was talking about. Polly got a bug
gy and Charley a wagon.
"The next place I wish to tako you,
children, is to Meeker Bros.' Hour and
feed store," remarked tho Jolly old man.
"Your Introduction to Ileynoldsville
would not bo half complete without.
Talk about flour, why bless you there
aint no flour In this section that can
come up to Golden Sheaf Patent, manu
factured at West Superior, Wis. It's
made from choice selected wheat, and
bread made from It does not become
dry and stale, but retains molsturo and
the natural flavor of the wheat for sev
eral days. All good housewives use
this Hour. Then us to feed, this store
Is headquarters for that. They handle
everything from golden oats down to
corn cobs, serve customers with prompt
ness and dispatch. I've been dealing
with Meeker Bros, somo tlmo and I tell
you they are a good firm to tio to."
"Law sakes!" suddenly exclaimed
Undo Josh, "ull this trading and shop
ping round town has cauted mo to for
get ono of tho greatest essentials to
future existence I havo heard It said
that newly married folks could live on
love and Bcenery, but an old man of ex
perience, knows better your table
would look slim without meat. It goes
baud in hand with bread. Now to lo
cate a meat market where you can get
fresh, wholesome meats nt all times,
K. H. Hodman is the man to supply you.
This is tho boss meat market of the city
and is popular with everybody who Is
partlculiir to tinvo the best. Tho rea
son for this is ull because they aro very
careful in the selection of stock and get
tho freshest of everything and keep
nothing but tho very best. -To keep
your 'Hubby in a good humor, I'tilly,
trado at Hoffman's market every time.
"Now," cried the old gentleman,
"now for a picture of this crowd, in
good old fashion. We'll go to tlio pho
tograph gallery und Ueynoldsvllle base
good one, that of Corwln's. His pic
tures aro wonderful tn fidelity and fin
ish. I want one full-sized photo for my
study and somo small ones for my
friends. Ho has tho soul of a truo urt
Ist; ull his work is a labor of love In
which ho will not stop short of jiorfec
tion. Corwin is giving a premium of a
lino crayon portrait with every doicn
photos ordered between now and tho
first of May, and I will have him make
you a life-sized representation of 'yours
truly.' " In a few minutes tho pictures
were "took" and when Polly learned
that Mr. Corwin also sold pianos sho
declared she'd not leave tho piaco till
Undo Josh had produced.
En route to their homo tho parti
called at Thb Star otllce. "You'll
want the news," remarked Uncle Josh,
"and as this Is tho favorite paper bore
I'll subscribe."
Upon summing up the wonderful
events of the day Polly begun to volubly
express thanks. "You havo bought us
everything!" she exclaimed.
"Only one thing." replied Uncle Josh,
retlectlvelv, but I can remedy that.
Prlester flros., the furniture men, ul
ways have a nice line of them und you
can got ono whenever you wunt If, I'll

"W-h-y," exclaimed Polly with groat
surprise, "Undo, what can It bo?"
"Well, It's a baby buggy."
