of the WHITE HOUSE GROCERY we have been dilator in making formal announcement of the fact But Thomas Moore and son Fred T have purchased the White House Grocery from George S Scott and assumed the business with the new year We will continue the name the White House Grocery and will do all in our power to maintain the high standard of this popular business house to keep all its old patrons and by delivering the goods at a fair and rea sonable price to merit the patronage of many new ones You will find us at the old stand uwimirivi 3i p i v Di7iiiv v TUTyyfi vi stvhi vwrfwinvri rfWrv

myself has taught me that a square deal with a small margmshows larger profits in the end than a questionable deal with a large per cent of profit at the tim Now understand me Lem I am not asking for your patronage because I have been here since the year one or any similiar reaons that strikes me as an appeal to charity No I want to figure your wants on a business basis that will appeal to your pocketbook and at the same time make a dollar for Stansberry Is this not fair Lem says Yes by the great horn spoon it is and 1 reckon I aint been so flamagasted mad and worked up since Heck was a pup to think that I would listen to Mr Hard Knocker working his jaw over time Good bye Now Dear Reader this ad has a truthful moral If you want anything in my line I want to ask you to COME to me Bring ME your bill if you want to build a house a barn or make any improvements I want a chance to show you that I am here to do business I have no solicitors pay no commissions except in the form of a discount to the party buying the lumber A square deal to all on a live and let live basis that will make everr customer a friend will be my style of doing business Clint Hamilton Lumber Co J R

the postage and sent her only 99S4 Tho mother-in-law insisted that she must have the other 15 cents and after they had quarreled by mail about it for a month or two she had her attorneys bring suit against him in the Ontario courts She made him pay too and stuck him for the cost of the action though she was obliged to fee her own lawyers The total expenses of this sixteen cent lawsuit were said to be exactly G12 most of which fell upon the economical son-in-law Siams Weights and Measures and measures The First Slow One He uttered a joyous cry And I am really and truly the first man you ever

Reckless Pranks Played With Heavenly Bodies IMPOSSIBILITIES IN NATURE A Rainbow Depicted Wrong Side Out and Moons In Positions and Forms That Could Not Occur Amusing Anachronisms by Old Time Artists That artists like authors should commit many errors of fact is hardly a cause for wonder Rather it is as tonishing that they are not found of tener at fault in view of the great variety of knowledge required in their wdrk Despite this however there is no manner of excuse for certain ab surdities For example there is the case of an English painter who depicted an elab orate rainbow Unfortunately he painted it wrong side out Hut we forget amazement at such stupidity in admiration for the artists magnificent audacity when we learn that ne charged 20 additional for repainting the rainbow colored in accordance with natures arrangement Painters are very prone to distress the astronomers by their reckless pranks with the heavenly bodies par ticularly with the moon One artist presented a scene in which was a crescent moon low in the eastern sky directly opposite a setting sun More over this genius disdained the criti cisms of the learned He insisted that this arrangement was necessary for the composition inasmuch as tho robt of the picture would be destroyed by a full moon the only one possible In such a situation Other artists have trifled with the moon by turning its convexity away from the sun which is of course im possible in nature In one picture the moon was placed near the constella tion of the Great Bear thomrh as a matter of fact the satellite noer ven tures into this part of the heavens There are too oft recurring errors made in the bulk of the orb An American astronomer amused himself by measuring the moons in a number of paiutings He established the fact that by reckoning from the satellites size the average height of the hills in these landscapes was forty three miles One of the mountains indeed had the stupendous altitude of a hun dred miles Artists of old time were often out rageously wrong sometimes necessari ly by reason of the limitations imposed by the ignorance of the period A Dutch artist painted the garden of Eden with well clipped borders and yew trees trimmed into fantastic shapes lie wrought in all innocence for of such sort were the only gardens of his experience But the excuse does not apply to a Dutch painting of 1794 This showed Abraham about to slaughter Istiac by means of a blunder bussthe product of an age 3000 years after the time of the patriarchs Yet this mistake occurs again and again There have been elaborate paintings of the children of Israel crossing the Red sea with muskets on their shoulders A beautiful ivory tankard an Augsburg carving of the early seventeenth century was sold for a hi jrh price in London not long ago The design which is exquisite in workmanship shows the good Sa maritan with his attendants in the Jericho road One of the servants carries a gun Many a child as well as some older persons has puzzled over that beam in the eye of which the New Testa ment speaks It is not always under stood that this means a beam of light But it was left to Solomon Bernard in his woodcuts illustrating the Bible published at Lyons in l53j to picture this beam as one of wood rectangular in section and several feet in length The matter of costumes offers vast opportunity for flaws which the paint ers have not failed to seize In the In Siam the liquid measure UFed is j national gallery derived from a cocoanut shell which is capable of holding S30 tamarind seeds and twenty of these units equal the capacity of a wooden bucket In dry measure SCO tamarind seeds ake one kanahn and twenty five make one sat or bamboo basket it eighty sat make one kwien or cart This is an example of tlse prim itive origin of most units of weight it Edinburgh raohs daughter and her accompanying j women are exhibited garbed in the j long waisted bodices and hooped skirts of Europe in the sixteentn cen tury The national collection in Lon don has a picture of Joseph and his kiiulred in Egypt where the buildings shown are not at all Egyptian in their style of architecture but distinctly Italian In the same gallery Paolo Veroneses The Family of Darius at the Feet of Alexander After the Battle of Issus displays the women of the group in the pointed waists and inflat ed skirts that made the familiar dress of Venetian women in the painters time Errors that have to do with armor may be more readily pardoned though the artists fail lamentably in knowl edge as to the earlier forms of metal protection Thus in some paintings showing llie time of Christ the war riors are seen clad in beautifully da mascened mail yet this form of armor did not come into actual use until half a thousand years later Similarly in other pictures of Christs time monks are portrayed in their robes with tonsures In fact how- Candy Cold Cure tablets No Quinine no ever they did not exist in the church

genius by circumstance is exhibited in one of the worlds most famous paintings The Last Supper Leonardo da Vinci simply did not know that the table the cloth the plates the knives and forks and salt cellars were impossibilities in the scene he designed to portray The eastern people of that age who were his subjects used no table no chairs no forks but squatted about a common dish and ate from it with their fingers Pittsburg Post Ptturing Prosperity see a drunken man trying to fill a bottle with the bottom broken out Its a great waste and it looks mighty silly But its no more foolish and no
