A bolt of stool .armor twelve inches thlckvoxtondlng two febtab'ovo the designed water line , 4 } feel below it and 110 feet in length , protects the boilers and en gines.

You can say it faster or slow. You can say it .all in one sentence , or you can say it on the in stallment plan a little at a time ; it comes out in the same way every time you say it Summer's "tuff" on summer stuff. Man gets up in the morning and arrays himself in all his glory , like Solomon of old ( but in a more modern costume of course ) . He puts on a clean shirt , im maculate collar and cuffs and his best summer suit and sallies forth looking as slick as the famous "posey" of Solomon's time. One of "old Sol's" rays strikes him , and raises cain with his raiment. A good thing for a sensible man like you to do , is to come right down town and se'e usj not that we'll give you a "cool reception" far from it but that we'll show you good things for a man in your business to"wear. . Take our elevator or rather don't take it , we might want to use it again ; but ride up to second floor in our elevator and see the hundreds of elegant coats and vests for summer. You'll see fine fancy striped brilliantine coats and vests at two fifty ; you'll see fine changeable brilliantine and all wool flannel coats and vests , worth four fifty , marked two dollars and ninety cents ; at three fifty you'll be shown coats and vests in fine serges and Drap d'Etes , that our neighbors think good enough to get six dollars for ; you'll see the finest imported bedford cords and Eng lish serges made into coats and vests , and marked five and a quarter ; you'll find the same goods being sold in Omaha for eight and nine dol- ars. These goods come in every shade and color from sombre black to the lightest smoke. After you .buy your coat and vest ( because buy you will ) go down stairs to the shirt department look at the magni ficent line of fine summer shirts. See the beautiful colorings , the handsome patterns , the excellent workmanship. See the goods at a dollar at one fifteen at one forty at one seventy-five at one ninety at two twenty-five. Compare them in your mind with goods you've seen at fr.om one fifty to. four dollars. Have your shirtsXvrapped up with your coat and vest and go down and see the shoe man. He's sell ing "low" shoes this week. Oxfords , one fifteen one thirty-five two twenty-five ; Southern ties , one thirty-five one sixty-five two fifty two seventy-five.
