It has been carelessly remarked that the happiest women in the world are those who have no history.

An old farmer said to bis sons "Boys, don't you ever speckerlate or wait for something to turn up. You might just as well go and sit down on a stone in the middle of a medder with a pail twixt your legs, and wait for a cow to back up to you to be milked." Good advice that was. Now listen to our advice. It is that for the next few weeks take advantage of the astonishingly low rates offered by T. H. Biddie, on Watches, Chains, Jewelry, Silver and Plated Ware.

They decided to go to Noyes Andrews, who, by running his business in the most economical manner, purchasing the best goods and being satisfied with a small margin of profit, has been driving right along while others cry "dull times!" :.y

S. R- Freeman, the Jeweler, remarks that, in making any kind of Gifts, articles should be selected that are not perishable, that will not fade away in a year, bnt will be kept as heir looms, and then he suggests from bis elegant and well-eelected stock of sparkling gems such articles as Gold and Silver Watchea, Chains, Rings with precious stone settings, Diamonds, Gold Thimbles, elegant Sets ef Jewelry,handsome Etruscan, Stone Cameos, Solid 18k.
