It seems to me th's a good maay more people gittin' married now 'n used'r be. It may be all right. I reckon it is. Still they orter be keerful. An' they orter make up their minds to live savin', an' to git ahead. An' the gals 'at's agoin' to git married orter know how to cook, an' wash, an' mend, an' how an' whair to buy groceries. More'n half the heartaches 'at come arter
marrym' is nuthin in the world but colic. Ef you don't have good vittles an' have 'em well cooked, look out fur storms. Gals should be larnt that th's one place in Terra Hnt whair a housekeeper kin always git sampin good, an' whair she she won't have to pay two prices fur it. That place is Rippetoe's—the White Frunt—which the same is on Mane strete, where to-day he hes dressed turkeys and chickens, oysters, cranberries, lettuce, radishes, spring onions, pie plant, oranges, lemons, bananas, New York apples, maple Bugar, buckwheat flour, creamery butter, dried apples, peaches, California plums, raisins, currants, prunes, citron, French mushrooms, French peas, eagle brand condensed milk, canned pumpkin, peaches, apricots, peas, white cherries, preserved ginger in pots, Leiblg's extract of beef, pickled pig's feet, mince meat, chowchow by the qutfrt, and a choice variety of canned soups.

"Helen's Babies." This work is acknowledged to be the best selling article in our bookstores. Druggists, however, say that Dr. Bull's Baby Syrup sells better than any other medicine. It is always reliable.

We never exaggerate or missrepersent facts, and no reader of this advertisement will find themselves disappointed on examining our stock when complete, which will be in a few days. Respectfully, A. HERZ.

Are draped with a sash sent from Rome.
In kids she wears naught but th6 Trefousse,
A shawl from the vale of Cashmere A cream Spanish scarf and lace fichus. Which to feminine eyes are most dear. Far Hamburgh supplies her with edgings,
Smyrna, Venice and Brussels, rejoice With Paris and London, in pledging The best of their lace for her choice.
Her small Oxford ties aro a wonder, They reveal such profusion of stylo Embroidered Balbriggans show under,
Silk-clocked and Importedjfrora Lisle. Her China silk kerchiefs are scented With just a faint breath of Cologne Her Japanese fans were invented.
And carved by some mortal unknown.
At evening I love to behold her, While serving our best Oolong brand A white Shetland shawl on her shoulder,
A rare Severs cup in her hand. The bright Berlin wool she was knitting, Has dropped on the plaid Burlap mat On one side her Spitz dog is sitting.
On the other her Angora cat.
