BEWARE!
I KNOW of soaps quite fair to see,
Take care !
They can both white and spurious be,
Beware! Beware!
Trust them not,
They are fooling thee!
They claim to be the purest made,
Take care !
They are of an inferior grade,
Beware! Beware!
Trust them not,
Buy the Ivory!
If they are recommended you,
Take care !
The grocer speaks not always true,
Beware! Beware!
Like as not
He is fooling thee !
Some counterfeits are white as snow,
Take care !
Almost like Ivory Soap they show,
Beware ! Beware !
Trust them not,
They are fooling thee '
Hold on to that and shun the rest,
Take care!
It is the cheapest and the .best;
Of frauds beware!
Trust them not,
Trust pure Ivory.
A WORD OF WARNING.
There are many white soaps, each represented to be "just as good as the ' Ivory'-; "
they ARE NOT, but like all counterfeits, lack the peculiar aid remarkable qualities of
"the genuine. Ask for " Ivory " Soap and insist upon getting it.

SI 00.00 BEWABD
We will give $100 to any charitable institution in North Platte on

uine crayons or that they are not equal in every respect in artistic merit
and execution to any $15 crayon made. We challenge comparison as to
the perfection of these portraits in likeness to the photograph from
which they are made. We invite a comparison with the best crayons
made by the best of artists. "A thing of beauty is a joy forever".
What could be nicer for home adornment than one of those elegant
crayons? See sample in the window. We have also made arrange
ments with a large frame manufactory to mount and frame these por
traits for our patrons in the best style at oue-jpourth the usual cost of
such frames. You can have either gilt or bronze frame with first-class

Manufacturers of MEN'S AND WOMEN'S FINE SHOES.
We are prepared to supply a long-felt want, and for this shoe we
claim it is the most SATISFACTORY, STYLISH AND ONLY PER
FECT FITTING SHOE MADE. It fits on the foot like a glove 011
the baud. It is not cumbersome like the button shoe that has four or
five thicknesses of leather over the instep, but tF: shoe has but one
thickness and presents a seamless, glove-fitting front, comfortable to the
foot and pleasing to the eye.
This shoe differs materially from the "old side lace." That had from
18 to 24 eyelets, double cord, and pulled on sideways, while this shoe has
but eight eyelets, pulls on straight and is held in place by a low gore,
inserted on each side of the shoe, which is covered and protected by the
top, and is adjusted to the ankle by lacing on the inside, giving to the
foot a very slim and small appearing form. This shoe cannot break in
the hacl and neither arc you inconvenienced by constantly re-sewmg
buttons or repairing button holes. This shoe is being placed in all good
towns, and its success and popularity are assured. Wc feel confident if
you will trv a pair of these shoes you will not be satisfied with any others.
Would" be pleased to have you call and make a personal inspection
of this shoe and think it will interest you.

of the opinion that if the soldier

It demonstrates that less than 300
years ago the fingers were still used
to perform the office now assigned
to forks, in the highest and most
refined circles of society. At about
this time, in fact, was the turning
point when forks began to be used
at table as they are now. W-hen
we reflect how nice were the ideas
of that refined age on all matters of
outer decency and behavior, and how
strict was the etiquette of the
courts, we may well wonder that
the fork was so late in coming into
use as a table-furnishing. The
ladies of the middle ages and the
Renaissance were not less proud of
a delicate, well kept hand tjian those
of our own days, and yet they pick
ed the meat from the platter with
their slender fingers, and in them
bore it to their mouths. The fact
is all the more remarkable, because
the form of the fork was familiar
enough, and its application to other
uses was not uncommon.
