braying hobbledehoys, neither boys
nor men, and ns long as the fool
killer neglects his duty," commented
old Fostus Pester, ns be gazed upon n
mess of youthful and binwhawlng joy
riders. "Just that long there will be
that kind of booby business cut up. I
was once exactly that sort of a lout
myself; substitute a buggy and a
clumsy horse for that motor car. and
look hack a few dozen years Into the
dim past nnd you have me, conceit,
blather, total disregard for the rights
and privileges of others, nnd all. Boys
nlwnys were and always will be the
same at thai nge. And Just ns the
oliler persons of my day fervently
hoped I would break my worthless

Natural Question.
A Ind of 15 was driving along a
country road, taking a load of calves
to market, when he. chanced to meet
a company of young folks who wore
evidently out for a pleasure excur
sion. The young men of tho pnrty,
thinking to amuse themselves and
the coinpnny nK the boy's expense,
began to Imitate the bleating of the
calves.
But their merriment was of short
duration, for, without a moment's hesi
tation, ns the vehicles were passing,
the country lad called out to bis would
be tormentors :

ffi We are going to put our Entire Stock on sale
One-Fifth off of our Regular Prices.
jH Market conditions do not justify this except as to Ready-to-Wear S
and Millinery, but the investment in a stock of goods the size we jj
cjjj carry has increased beyond the amount that we feel we should
ifj keep invested, and to make a quick reduction we are offering you
jfj this chance to supply your needs with new up-to-date merchan- jj
jfj dise at less than the wholesale price. Our regular prices are as j
tpj low, and in many instances lower, than replacement values today j
as we have not followed the market but are selling merchandise at fig- jfjj
yj ures at fair profits over purchase prices from contracts made months ago. Epj
We have been holding sales on our Ladies' Coats, Suits and Silk E
E Dresses at reductions of from one-fifth to one-third off. We are going jfj
jjjj to let these sale prices stand on these lines and take one-fifth off of them which will
Sjjj make the cheapest Coats, Suits or Dresses you ever bought.
3 This sale will only continue for a short time and the time for you to get busy is now. 82
