BEAUTIFUL DREAM.

As the good house wife lay slumbering she dreamed a dream. In her dream she stood in a store full of new and beautiful goods. The place seemed familiar and looking about her and lo she knew the store, it was

THE MAMMOTH STORE.

After a time many people came and bought much goods. They came in, began to feel the goods, call for prices, and then smile, even big smiles, the prices were so low, and the bargains so big. Many articles of raiment were chosen for ladies, men, girls and boys until the piles of apparel appeared piled high.

The good house wife asked, "Friends, why do you buy so many goods," and lo! they answered, "nowhere else can we secure such great bargains.

Call and see if the good house wife's dream is not true.
