"Steaking" Our
Reputation
We have purchased the inter
ests of the City Meat Market,
formerly in the same building with
the Duncan Grocery, and are pre
pared to serve patrons courteous
ly and conscientiously.
We honestly believe that we are selling the best meat in the
city at the lowest prices for the same quality of meat. We
always have specials in Hams, Bacons and Steak Cuts.
This week our steak is what we want to mention. There is
nothing more tasty than a steak chopped well and then broiled.
Especially is this true of one of our steaks.
We invite you to try them
Every Saturday we have plenty of good cuts, but we advise
you to come in early and get the choice pieces, for there are
always certain cuts which are better than others.

It is said that as an offset to the
woman's rights movement, a secret
society has been formed, composed
mainly of hen-pecked husbands and
their friends, with the purpose In
view of reviving this law, and en
forcing Its penalties. We shall see.

The recent contest at Albany for
the United States Senatorship caused
the gathering at that capital of so
numerous an assemblage of politic
ians that bed and board became
matters of solicitude, and prices
"ruled high." But figures are cast
In the Bhade by those demanded by
keepers of public and private cit
izens during the recent Senatorial
contest at Carson City, Nevada,
where the rates charged for lodg
ings were, according to the Virginia
Enterprise: "For a bed in a house,
barn, blocksmlth's-shop, or hay-yard
(none to be had all having been
engaged shortly before election),
horse blanket in old sugar hogshead
per night, $10; crockery-crate, with
straw, $7.50; without straw, $5.75;
for cellar-door, 04; for roosting on
a smooth pole, $3.50; pole, common,
rough, $3; plaza fence, $2.50; walk
ing up and down the Warm Spring
road, If cloudy $1.50; if clear, $1.25;
roosting places In pine-trees 'back
of camp Nye, 6 bits."
In a late Western paper, under the
heading, "Situations Wanted," ap
peared the following, which in a fair
degree shows the ve rsatility as
well as the retiring character of the
American"prlnter:
WANTED Situation by a Practical
Printer, who is competent to take
charge of any department In a print
ing and publishing house. Would
accept a professorship in any of the
academies. Has no objection to teach
ornamental painting and penman
ship, geometry, trigonometry, and
many other sciences. Is particularly
qualified as pastor of a small evan
gelical church, or as local preacher.
Would have no objection to form a
small but select class of young ladles
to instruct them In the higher
branches. To a dentist or chiropo
dist he would be Invaluable; or he
would cheerfully accept a position as
bass or tenor singer in a choir.
The local editor of a very far West
journay having attended a ball on
the frontier, has felt moved, after the
manner of the Jenkins of the metro
politan press, to furnish a report of
some of the dresses worn by the
more eminent persons present. Thus:
Miss A. was everlastingly scrump
tious, in an underskirt of red calico,
flounced with blue mousline, sur
mounted by an over-skirt of linsey
looped in Uie rear en saddlebag, with
yellow bows. Waist a la anarugeon,
bosome de bustee. Hair in a chig
non resembling half a cabbage. Ex
traordinarily hefty.
Mrs. B. wore a short skirt of home
made flannel, displaying in a very
beautific manner her No. 11 mocca
sins. Corsage de Shaganosh, orna
mented with soldier buttons. Hair
en frlcasse: perfume of slnnamon
drops. Excessively highfalutin.
Madame C, a noted half-breed
belle, attracted an all-fired sight of
comment by appearing in a hoop
skirt, ornamented with fox tails ar
ranged en circumbendibus. Waist of
yellow flannel slashed with stripes of
buffalo hide. She carried a large sun
flower, and danced with great luce-
nesse. Terrifically magnollous.
Hon-ki-do-rl, chief of the Dirty
Paws, was the Hon of the evening.
He wore a blanket de Mackinaw,
with breathes de bouk-sktne, termln
atlng In shoe packs. Rooster feath
era In his hair. His whole ensemble
was very antagonlstique.
Nlt-che-check-shlrt, a distinguished
representative of a neighboring
friendly tribe, fairly divided the hon
ors of the evening with the first
named chieftain. He wore his coat
cut a la wanimouse, hair plaited,
blanket classically slung, breeches de
tomihaque. Redolent with perfum-
erie de Chippewa.

The Ability
to' Stick
Is the secret of success that applies especially to those
who start a Savings Account. The habit of thrift is an
essential part of a successful man's makeup. ' This to
gether with perseverance in the thing you start to do
make for financial advancement.
You Will Astonish Yourself
by the satisfactory result if you commence a Savings Account. Add to it
from time to time regularly say a certain percent of your income each
week or month, regardless of a temporary desire to "let it slide this week,"
and in a comparatively short time you will have a comfortable sum you can
use for a profitable investment. You may get the start that will enable you
to live without worry when you wish to retire from active business life.
In your effprt to take this first step toward financial independence The First
State Bank has arranged to aid you all that is possible. Since November 1st
we have been giving to every person who starts a Savings Account with us,
One Dollar to be added to the first one they deposit.
It Takes Only One Dollar to Com
mence DO IT NOW.
