REED IS DEVELOPING
SALESMANSHIP BUG
A Ii. Reed, as administrator of the es
tate of Anna Wilson, has developed great
ability as a salesman of old furniture,
curios and brlc-a-brae. Tuesday be was
talking with a prospective purchaser for
a "barefoot boy" statuette and the man
.-otined about to decide adversely.
"Ah, but have you noticed the expres
sion on that boy's face?" asked Mr. Reed.
That alone is worth f 10. No lw-rson can
come int" your home and see that child's
face without complimenting you on your
taste in statuettes." '
That argument closed negotiations. Mr.
Heed now Is bending hi efforts toward
telling a walnut bedroom set that prob
ably cost tl.Oou new.
The severe weather, which has been ac
companied by heavy snowfalls all over
Wyoming, is playing havoc with the
flockmasters of that Mate. Railroad ad
vice tecelved In Omaha are to the ef
fect that the losses of the Wyoming
sheepmen will be unusually heavy, even
if a Chinook wind should sweep over the
state now and melt the snow.
In many localities, especially In the
sheep raising districts, . the report are
that la-it year tho flockmasters failed, or
were unable to secure the normal supply
of hay. Snowfalls came earlier than
usual and n a result the supply of hay
was soon exhausted. Then came the
hard storms of last week and the ranges
were burled under a foot to eighteen
Inches of snow. As a result the sheep
were unable to graze upon tho winter
range and consequently the losses to
many of the flocks have already been
large and are consequently growiiiK.
All of tho roads penetrating the sheep
raising country of Wyoming are shipping
In large quuntitios of hay and grain, but
at many points it will arrive too late to
save the flocks.
Near Moorcroft the ranchmen havo

to the community
how cheap our clothing Is and
that now you would buy it for

to iropare fur thN sale, as it
does for you to read this an
nouncement. Our prices are the

the reason, only you pay 1Z
per cent less. All season our
clothing sold for less than

'You can fool all of the people some of the time,
you can fool some of the people part of the time,
but you can't fool all of the people all of the time."
It is a pretty safe bet in business, or
social, or political life to follow the golden
rule. Possibly one docs not get very far in
politics by doing so, but it docs produce
happiness in home life and success in busi
ncss life.

the fact that our reg

them to be.
It has been good enough for us in the
past and when a big, palpitating question
or problem comes before us we are going
to be conservative and lean toward the
cause of the people and know that we arc on the right side.
One of those big propositions came up for consideration before the merchants of Omaha -on
the question of sensational sales. Wc think the words of Lincoln are good enough to be
guided by. There will be no half-price clothing sales in this store. This decision was reached
by us entirely as a question of fairness to ourselves and our policy, but most emphatically
as a question of fairness to our customers and tho public in general. The reason is this:
Half-price sales cannot be what they seem to be.
We address ourselves to your intelligence, not to your impulse, not to the unthtnking
pocketbook.

Warmth of the Chrtstmus spirit melted
the chilled hearts of Mr. and Mrs. Frank
labeling, divorced, of tlrand Junction, la.
The result was their remarriage by
County Judge Leslie today.
Mr. and Mrs. libeling were married
three years ago. l.ast March they de
cided they were mlsuiatcd. They had
frequent quarrels ond divorce followed.
Kach lived a separate life, though they
resided In the same town. Yet Mrs.
Kbellng'a heart would respond to the
love of no other tnun. She had many
wooers, for now she Is only 23. F.bellng
tiled 'going" with other girls. They
bored him. Iloth were proud and all
the time the two natures were strug
gling to hold their own against the two
loving hearts. Mrs.-Kbcllng did not want
to admit that she had been in the wrong
and that she still loved her former hus
band; no more did libeling.
Kveryone Worn llHpp),
Christmas drew near. The spirit of love
was. In the air. Everyone seemed happy,
everyone was except Mr. and Mrs. label
ing. J'euple were hurrying ubout the
streets laden with packages, their eyes
tiparkltng with the Joy of anticipation of
pleasure.
The Saturday before Christmas Ebellng
purchased the handsomest gold locket he
could find. It was for KdUh. On the
Sunday before Christmas ICdith wrapped
up a pair of handsomely embroidered
house Hllppcrs. She had worked a mouth
on them. Santa Claus did the rest.
There was too much Joy on both tilt
part of the Kbe.lngs and the parts of
their friends to permit their departure
from ill and Junction at once, ao they
postponed their little trip until after New
V ear's.
Judge Ix'slie said he was glad they came
In time for hhn to marry them befon
having the county court bench ami going

WEAVER FOR THIRD TERM
LAWYERS' PRESIDENT
Frank I.. Weaver, president of the
Omaha liar association, probably will be
re-elected at tho association's annual
meeting, Saturday night, January 13.
Since the Inauguration of the move
against the street railway compuny many
attorneys have urged 1'resldenl Frank L.
Weaver to seek re-election. The theory
Is that the work begun In his administra
tion would progress better under his
further charge than under tlmt of some
other attorney. Mr. Weaver Is not a
candidate, but will not refuse the office
if elected to it. In all probability he
unanimously will be re-elected. Mr.
Weaver now Is serving his second term
as president and Churle E Foster Is
serving his second term us secretary.
Trior to a year ago these offices were not
held more than one year by any iiiemher
of the association, but the members
urged Weaver and Foster to continue In
ihe positions and they did so.
The committee in charge of the pro
ciwdiuga against the strict railway com
pany has decided not to go to Lincoln
and confer with the attorney g -neral un
til It has reported to the association cer
tain matters which have come tinder Its
view since the sensational meeting of
iMicrynber 10.

RHEUMATISM
Rbetimatism is cauwd hy en cxet-ss ol uric acid in the UcxkI, which
gradually gets into the circulation U-couse of iudiRtsUoti, constipation, vmtk
kidney action, and other irregularities ol the tyhtem which are sometimes
considered of no Importance. This uric acid caus an inflamed and irritated
condition of the tlood, and the circulation instead of nourishing the different
jiortions of the body, continually deposits into the nerves, muscles, tissues
and joints, the irritating, pain-producing acid with which it is filled. Kheu
matism can only be cured by a thorough cleansing of the blood, and this is
just what S. S. S. does. It goes down into the circulation, and by neutral
izing the uric acid and driving it from the blood, eliet tually and tsurely
removes the cause. S. S. S. strengthens and inigorates the blood ho that
instead of a weak, sour Ftreatn, causing pain und at'ony thouj;hout the sys
tem, it becomes an invigorating, nourishing fluid, furnishing health and
vigor to every pert of the body and relieving the nufioring caused by thin
disease. vS. 8. S. l ing a purely vegetable blood puniier, is the surest and
