One day Whistler entered the atelier of his class in Paris and found that a red background had been arranged be hind the model. At once he directed something of a duller tone to be substi tuted, and he scraped the red paint off the canvas of one of the pupils, putting In its place another background. But the red would show through. He scrap ed, studied and worked laboriously to get something that pleased him. The rest of the class surrounded the easel and eagerly watched the master. He looked up finally and said, "I suppose you know what I am trying to do?" "Oh, yes, sir!" they all chorused. "Well, it's more than I do," he replied grimly and left the place. City Frail Store.

A few days afterward he heard it a second time and, following the music with .his own copy In his hand, satisfied himself of tbe fidelity of his memory. The next day he sang the "Miserere" at a concert, accompanying himself on the harpsichord, and the performance pro duced such a sensation in Rome that Pope Clement XIV. requested that this musical prodigy should be presented to him at once. 1 4- Concerning the jStyle. The Boss is away -this week The most stylish cloth will be that which has a bad thread, with pimples in at short intervals. That's to keep you from being too smooth a dresser, and you can pile on all the trimmings your purse will stand for. If they have a brass thread in, so much the better. Champagne will be worn this year—not drank at least in North Dakota. That's better anyhow it lasts lon ger as a color than as a guzzle. Now as to the new spring goods I couldn't find the preper adjectives to describe them. We've got all the new weaves, colors and styles. The grades area little better than last year's 'cause things are tending that way, and we're go inar to keep right up with the procession if it busts a hame string. We've got cheaper goods too if you want 'em. P. S. Notwithstanding cotton costs just double what it did last vear, we'll continue to show the biggest line of 5 cent prints ever, and at a nickle a yard. Boss was one of the early birds this year. Come in and get some of the worms. Our Auction Sale was a Big Success To the extent of showing our customers we were not afraid to sell our good goods cheap.

If he was here he'd tell me to ""em it .out" fur fear it would spoil the sale of the Designers" that came in the other day, Of coarse they are right up to the last minute and sometimes ahead. As far as I can see the styles will be about the same as last yeaf. The women will wear dresses and shirtwaists, and some of them will wear their lives out trying to make over their last year's duds into this year's, but that's not ne cessary with the stock of goods we have in. Some of them will wear the New Military Coat, some an Eton Jacket with an imitation vest, but as a rule the men will wear the pants. Fashion has settled that. The Doukhabour valance ha* been cut off the jackets, and the abscess in the sleeve may now be worn wherever it feels them ost comfortable. 9 a quiet kip 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 IKEY.
