Ziammniii Co.—No. 18 THE DID CABINET MAKER SAYS: A MODERN upholstered couch is really the proper thing with which to round out the furnishings of a dining room, libra- < * ry or back parlor. You will find all styles and finishes in our special assortment. These are stylishly upholstered in a wide variety of cover- . ings, taking in everything from the genuine leathers—including the new durable imitation leathers—to velvets and velours.

The child was playing around in the kitchen and was not noticed until his screams attracted his mother’s attention and the boiling water had run over hie limbs. While the burns are very painful it not thought that they are serious unless complications set in unlcoked for. His physician reports him resting easy at this time. An annoying error crept into our Remington items Wednesday, in the reference to Messrs. Hartley and Hicks locating at Tacoma, Wash., where Mr. Hicks now is. The “intelligent compositor"’ has drove many an editor gray headed in sorrow to the grave, and linotypers are but little better than the old hand type-setter. This error was discovered in the prpof and plainly marked, but here again it escaped the operator. We offer a humble apolhgy for the “bull,” which is all one can do when such annoying mistakes occur, which they frequently do in the best of newspaper offices.
