A blind man has been in town
this week selling shoe laces and
lead pencils. He was the victim
of a powder explosion, and the

eyes and nose were gone and his
upper lip mutilated, and yet the
man talked cheerfully of his travels
over the country, and said he was
going back to Texas to spend the
winter. He claimed that the
Texas people were the largest
hearted, most generous and culti
vated people on top of the earth.
Life must be very dear and sweet
to this unfortunate, who still con
tinues cheerful and hopeful under
such trying circumstances. It is
an object lesson to those of us who
think we are burdened with trials
and troubles, and ought to make
ua feel devoutly thankful that it is
as well with us as it is.
I Have you selected your |
| new Fall Costume yet? J
| We are ready, |
igw And you won’t be offered the haphazard choice
I*** of a buyer who was not posted, but the very
handsomest things that our dress goods expert
could seek out—and he stands very close to w
the leaders among importers and manufac- W
turers. Every house can’t get first choice.
We do get it. It's a point worth remember
ing when you start out for that new dress.
W
Does this weather make you think
you need “New Blankets?” M>
Now, a word about new blankets as we show
and sell them. Here pure wool means pure
wool, part cotton is part cotton with us, and Vf
we even admit that we have some that are W
all cotton. But where’s the advantage, you W
Isay. Full widths and lengths, the prettiest Mp
conceits in borders, the best value in fabric.
From the lowest priced to the highest there’s
a range of values that gives every one ample
choice and without the slightest danger of W
going wrong. ||jj
If it’s going to be a new Coat Sl t
lor Cape it might as well be a $
real stylish one—from us. 4/
Most of the garments you find here can’t be
seen elsewhere in town, not that our friends jgf
(competitors) wouldn’t like to have them, W
but we manage to fix things so they can’t, m
and what does it give us? Exclusive, nobby Ml
things, the very cream of the choicest styles
that New York shows this season, and it
f isn’t necessary to pay a penny more than for Tjf
styles not bo pretty or attractive. Will you ilf
come to us? w
