When man promises to take his wife I to a party and changes his mind after she is dressed, we may expect a shower. When a man receives a hill of goods that his wife has bought unknown to him. look out for thunder and lightning. When a man comes home and finds nn supper ready, the fire out, and wife vis iting neighbors, it’s likely to be cloudy. When a man dies and leaves a pretty widow with plenty of money, and she commences to powder, a change is about to come. When you see a man going home at 2 o’clock in the morning and his wife iH up waiting for him, it will very probably turn out very stormy. - I I_% Look for the j i' Red Tags | They mean a 2; Saving of from 10% to 50° o i on Every «; Purchase I-| -n-m 1 *1 m 11 ———— the great COST CLEARING SALE At Shelby Topp’s Is Now On In Full Blast.
