of a counterfeit equally guilty. The dealer
who sells you a dangerous counterfeit of De-
Witt's \Vitch Hazel Salve risks your life to
make a little larger profit. You can not trust
him. DeWitt's is the only genuine and orig
inal Witch Hazel Salve , a well known cure
for piles and all skin diseases. See that your

Fool and ITlB Money.
It chanced that the miser and the
spendthrift took ship together.
En voyage the spendthrift bought
much wine and sat long at the gaming
table.
"The fool and his money soon part ! "
sighed the miser.
Presently , a storm rose , and the ship
foundered , and they were all cast into
the water , and the miser , having his
gold in a belt about his waist , sank to
the bottom.
"The fool and his money , " observed
the spendthrift sadly , for he was a
generous soul , "don't always part ! "
After that the spendthrift swam to a
raft , where he starved to death. De

A Golf OntrnKe.
The Earl of Wemyss was on a Fife
golf course not long ago , accompanied
by an old caddie. His lordship got
his ball on one occasion so near the
hole that to play it was , as it appeared
to him , superfluous. So he simply tipped -
pod it in with the toe of his boot.
The caddJe revolted instanter , threw
down the clubs and looked horrified.
When he found words to speak , it waste
to say , "Hang it , me lord , gowf's
gowf ! "

Is one who fails to profit by experience , even though he has use of both eyes without the aid of
glasses. Time and again people buy clothing that is half made and containing mostly "Shoddy
and Flock. " Remember that three years among you has taught you that we carry no satinet
goods in the house ; what you buy of us is reliable and made by the best equipped factories in the
in the country. Our prices are the lowest named for good goods ; we carry no other. T
