On and after January 1st, 1900, carpenters will be heard sawing and hammering for the entire remodeling- of
the whole of the building- we now occupy. The second floor will be transposed from a jumble of offices to a mair
nincent salesroom which will be reached by modem elevator service situated close to the front entrance to the main
ir. de stajrway will be taken out and a grand entrance to the store put in its place, on each side of
which will be large, handsome display windows as fine as any in the state. The now overcrowded main floor
will have four departments taken from it with a future location upon the second floor; the immense upbuilding of
our Dress Goods, Linen, Hosiery and Underwear, Glovos, Notions and Domestic Departments has necessitated for
months past which, until now, has been impossible to procure for them. Each department will eventually almost
have double its former space. Our Cloak, Suit, Corset and Muslin Underwear departments have outgrown the
space they now occupy by three times their capacity. They will, in the future, occupy commodious quarters upon
the second floor, with ample room for the display of their fine stock. Situated on the floor also will be added sev
eral new departments, which will be announced later on.
Along; the west wall will be located all the general offices of the establishment, together with ladies' parlors
dressing and toilet rooms, nicely furnished in modern style. But to accomplish these desired results, several de
partments must vacate their positions to allow the carpenters to uo to work. This means

This is an advertisement; read it if
you are interested in a better set of
teeth than the ordinary rubber plate.
Are you pleased with the appearance
of pink rubber gum? Do you feel satis
fied with the gum section teeth where
the joints show?. Continuous gum work,
or an all porcelain plate overcomes this
unnatural appearance of the gum. Tbe
porcelain plate 1b the best made for the
following reasons: It can be made to
look natural even if the gum shows; the
entire plate is one piece of porcelain; is
clean and agreeable to the mouth, and
is equal in strength to any plate made.
Porcelain for artificial teeth is fused
at a high temperature. Dr. Sherwin
makes all porcelain work with an elec
tric furnace which insures the best
quality of work.

The Secret of It.
"Where docs the clerk of the weather store
1 The days that are sunny and fair?"
"In your soul is a room with a shining door,'
And all of those days are there."
''Where does the clerk of the weather keep
' The days that are dreary and blue?"
"In a second room of your soul they sleep,
And you have the keys of the two."
"And why are my days so often, I pray,
Filled full of clouds and of gloom?"
"Because you forget, at the break of day,
And open the dreary room."
Amos R. Wells, in Jan. St Nicholas.
The Fatal Flame.
The beauty of her graceful glove
Within my heart still lingers
I fear she lit my lamp of love
Wtth her sweet, taper fingers.

SWASTIKA.
What is Swastika? It is the latest
fad in writing paper. The Swastika is
an East Indian myptic figure or symbol
of good iuck, well known to the Bra
hamanand Buddhists and frequently
employed in the decorative carvings and.
paintings upon the temples of the east.
The word is of Sanskrit origin and sig
nifies happinees, well-being, goo 1 luck.
The origin of this symbol is wrapped in
mystery. No one knows how, when-or
where it originated. However, it has
positively been ascertained that the
fymbol had its birth' in pre-historic
times. Ith one great point of interest
lies in the fact that it is extremely old.
Its unquestionable significance as a
mark of happinees or, well being makes
it doubly acceptable to one who is writ
ing to a friend desiring to convey in
every possible way that expression of
good will which nullifies distance and
draws the world together in a fealing of
kinship.

Wettest IMaco on Kurth.
Cherrapunji, in Assam, northeast of
Calcutta, has the reputation of being
the wettest place on the earth, the av
erage rainfall being 493.15 inches,
while it has the record of one month
in which 147.17 inches fell. This year
It .seems bound to beat all previous
records, 2C7.84 inches of rain having
fallen between Jan. 1 and the middle of
June, five and one-half months, while
73.79 inches, over six feet of water, fell
In a single week.
