When Buying Fuel
Tbe consumer must always tigure on the ac
tual amount of heat and comfort that ia got
ten for the money spent.
We believe that our connections of long
etanding, coupled with the large amount of
fuel that we buy, make it possible for us to
aell the very highest gradesof Coal and Wood
at prices tbat are cheapest to the consumer.
A trial order of our Coal and Wood, or an
opinion from some cf our satisfied customera,
will prove that our idea of putting quality
first ia correct.

He Met Hia Match.
The Russlan marsha! Suvaroff was
famous aa a Jester and waa fond oi
confuslug the men under his com?
mand by aaking them unexpected and
absurd questlona. But occaslonally
he met hia match. Thus one bltter
January night, 8uch as Russia only
can produee, he rodo up to a Bentry
and demanded:
"How many stars are there ln the
Bky?"
The Boldler, not a whit dlsturbed.
answered coolly:
"Walt a little, and HI tell you."
And he deliberately commenced count
ln_, "One two, three," ete.
When he had reached 100 SuvarofT,
who waa half frozen, thought it high
time to ride off. not, however. wltli
out lnqulrlng the name of the ready
reckoner. Next day the latter found
himself promoted.
Gypsiea and Death.
The cuatom of placlng tho property
of tbe dead ln their graves has always
been followed by the true Romany
gypsles. It ls due to some old tradi
tlon of 111 luck attendlng the possession
of an artlcle whose former owner ls
gone, and much valuable property ia
buried in this bellef. There is also a
sentiment among gypsles against the
possession of anything that bas be
longed to a dend person. because lt
servea to remlnd the llvlng of the de
parted and Inspire ln them a dread of
death. The cuatom of burylng thc-ir
property wlth gypsy dead dates from
the earliest hlstory of the Romany
trlbea. _
Odd Superatitiona.
In England tbere Ls a superstition
that if a bride and groom eat peri
winkle leaves together they -will love
one another. Should he after mar?
riage prove recalcltrant bere ls a way
to wln him back: Take a piece of the
root of a wallflower and a partrldge's
heart. roll iliem into a ball and make
the man eat lt. If you waut to know
whether your lovcr loves you. crush
some bleedlng heart. If the Julce is
red, he does; if It is white, he does not.
His Mistake.
They were in tbe thlck of their first
quarrel.
"I thought your tastes were simple,"
said tbe husband. "I didn't expect to
flnd you such a hlgb fller "
"Yes, you did," sbe answered. "You
knew all about my being a high flier,
as you call lt, but you thougbt I'd be
dlrigible."_

The Famous R&Vb
Is the Lamp of Real Beauty
because it gives the best light of all
lamps. The Rayo gives a white, soft,
mellow, diffused light-easy on the
eye because it cannot flicker. You
can use your eyes as long as you wish
under the Rayo light without strain.
The Rayo Lamp Is low-prlced, and
even though you pay $5, $10 or $20 for
other lamps, you may get more expensive
decorations but you cann >* get a better
light than the low-priced Rayo gives. A
strong, durable shade-holder holds the
shade on flrm and true. This season's
new burneradds strength and appearance.
