The 99 Cent RACKET STORE E start in the first of March selling anysell that will be a bargain to you, and which will give us a little for our trouble of handling same. We shall make it very interesting from now on, and unless you are a frequent caller you will miss the Greatest Bargains of your life. Unless you are here and keep in close touch—with-eur store you will regret it later, when you see the beautiful things your neighbor bought here, and as good if not better, than you could buy elsewhere, and only just think, for about one half the amount you would pay the other fellow. It pays to look around, be up to the times; get shut of those old fogy ideas that you have a lways got to trade at the same old place and pay the same old prices; they may pat you on the back and be awfully glad to see you, but you pay for all of those plea sures. We like to see you in a business way as well as social way; we are here to suit our customers and to give them Better Goods and More Goods than they ever got before for the least amount of money, and, come what will, we shall fulfill our promise. We devote our entire life to your welfare and by so doing you should give us a little consideration.

RANSFORD, Proprietor of the p 9 Cent. Racket Store, 218 WEST WASHINGTON ST. RENSSELAER.

DON’T FOROET THE OLD FOLKS. Nay, don’t forget the old folks, boys—they've not forgotten you; Though years have passed since you were home, the old hearts still are true; And ndt an evening passes by they haven't . the desire To see your faces once again and hear your footsteps nigher. ~ You're young and buoyant, and for you Hope beckons witn her hands, And life spreads out a waveless sea that laps but tropic strands; The world is all before your face, but let your memories turn To where fond hearts still cherish you and loving bosoms yearn. No matter what your duties are nor what your place in life, There’s never been a time they’d not assume your load of strife; And shrunken shoulders, trembling hands, and forms racked by disease, Would bravely dare the grave to bring to you the pearl of peace. So don’t forget the old folks, boys—they’ve not forgotten you; Though years have passed since you were home, the old hearts still are true; And write them now and then to bring the light into their eyes, And make the world glow once again and bluer gfleam the skies. —New York Sun,

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.

A Life Saving Elephant Who Caught Cold ar.d Died. A few years ago two children word bathing in the sea at a-little to\fn cn the coast of France when suddenly for some reason or other they were carried out of their depth.

Nip.

One morning I found my terrier Nip sitting outside the store cupboard. He always liked to be near when it was opened, because he hoped to get something t<> eat, so 1 took no notice of lain; but he jumped up at me and then at the door, asking as plainly as he could that it might be opened. I scolded him for being so greedy, but he would not move. Later in the day cook wanted something from the cupboard and remarked that Nip had been sitting there ever since breakfast. lie seemed very excited and pleased when he found the door was really going to be opened, and when cook threw back the door we knew why. Pussy, who is a great friend of his, walked out. Nip had been trying to tell us she was there all the morning, only we were too stupid to Understand.—Philadelphia Ledger.

The Boy Was Right.

Schoolteacher, examining the class, lights on the youngest and ia so struck with his intelligent aspect that he questions him forthwith; “Now, my little man, what do 5 and 2 make?” The little one remained silent. “Well, suppose I were to give you five rabbits today and two more tomorrow, how many rabbits would you have then?” “Eight!” promptly answered the juvenile. “Eight! Why, how do you make that out?” “ ’Cause I’ve got one to home already.”

Interesting Experiments.

Fix a needle in each end of a broomstick, rest the needles on two glasses placed on chairs, with the needles alone in contact with the glasses. If you strike tho broomstick violently with another stick, tho former will be broken, but the glasses will remain intact. The impulse given by tho blow has not time to pass on through the particles in tho glass. The particles of tho broomstick separate before the movement can be transmitted to the glasses.
