BOVELL'S BARGAIN HOUSE
A Chapter on Dogs
By Joe Sappington.
(Continued from last week.)
The epitaph met the approval
of all present and having done
all that loving hands could do
for a dead friend, we sadly turn-
ed our faces toward our homes
and left the noble old dog in his
lonely grave, where the whippoor-
will doles out his plaintive mid-
night notes and the murmuring
brook ripples and moans and
laughs as it rolls forever on tell-
ing its tale of sadness to the
cheerless, and laughing with the
joyful in heart.
It was not long after we had
consigned the remains of the
noble Drum to the cold and piti-
less grave until I was callcd up-
on to bear another great heart
affliction. This bereavement was
harder to bear than the death of
Drum on account of it being an
individual or personal grief,
whereas in the former case the
grief was shared in common by
all of us boys. It was the death

PRICE IS NOT ALL
We have furniture in different grades and various de-
signs, most of which isjhigh class goods. Some people
cannot, perhaps, afford the best, and some who can, pre-
fer the cheapest and we can please those as well. But we
have steadily maintained and advanced qualities, fre-
quently at the sacrifice of our legitimate profits. Our
line is today the most progressive expression of price to
be found in any store. We mean to give you extra good
service this fall if you will let us. We will do you right.

of Nero, the old family dog, that
had come like a thief in the night
to add a personal sorrow to my
already grief burdened heart.
Nero was as unlike Drum as a
bird is unlike a horse and a great
gulf seemed to seperate tliein in
life. Drum was a cold dignilied
dog of retined taste and ready at
a moment's notice to fall back on
his family record, whereas Nero
was as undignified and as friend-
ly as any dog that ever lived and
cared nothing for family tradi-
tions, not knowing or even car-
ing what breed of dog he was.
Tt was really a fortunate thing
that Nero cared nothing for his
family pedigree, for if his genea-
logical tree had been traced back
a few dog generations it would
have revealed the humiliating
fact that the blood of every dog
on the waters of Cave Creek
coursed his veins. But it is not
the family record that counts in
this world, with neither men nor
dogs and the man or dog who has
nothing more valuable to rely
upon than the family name is in
a bad fix. It positively won't do
to look too closely into the record
for as often as you find a kinsman
that has shed luster on the fami-
ly name, you will find seven that
have left nothing but large black
spots on it. That great uncle
who went to congress, is check-
mated by that first cousin who
served a term in the penitentiary
for stealing a horse and the worst
feature about it is that no one
ever heard of the congressman
uncle except thru his kinfolks,
but everybody knows or has
heard of the horse thief cousin.
The family album always con-
tains the po rtrait of the ances-
tors who rivaled Demosthenese
as an orator, bufc never that of
the one whose only public speech
was delivered just before he was
hung.
Nero made his own record—a
record for faithfulness and devo-
tion regardless of what his an-
cestors may or may not have
been. It was all the same to
him whether his ancestors had a
record for nob'.edeeds or a record
for stealing sheep, he pursued
even tenor of his way, relying
altogether upon his own merits.
He was a home loving dog and
cared nothing for the chase and
rarely ever went with us on our
hunts. He was the bravest dog
I ever saw, but like all brave
creatures was not quarrelsome.
I never knew him to raise a dif-
ficulty with another dog, but woe
betide the dog that raised one
with him. I had a hard fist fight
with a boy at the swimming hole
one Sunday for hitting old Nero
with a rock and to this day I
don't regret taking his part.
No dog ever loved a human
being more than old Nero loved
me and I never knew one to ex-
hibit his affections so humanly.
He would have come to my res-
cue no matter at what peril to
himself. It was dangerous for a
boy to scuffle with me when be
was around, for the instant he
saw me in the grasp of anyone,
ho would show his teeth and turn
his hair the wrong way. I once
had a severe spell of typhoid fe-
ver and he exhibited so much
anxiety about my prolonged ab-

WE HAVE THE NEW THINGS
Thompson's Glove Fit-
ting Corsets Are Here
The name "Glove Pitting" was
given to these corsets when
the first ones were made more
than three generations ago.
How long would the garments
have maintained their popular-
ity if they had failed to per-
sonify the name? Would the
sale of a few hundreds during
the first year back in the fif-
ties have grown to several
millions of today except by
virtue of Sterling Worth in
the Goods. See models 141,
144, 146, and 148. Extra long,
medium and short. Prices,
$1.00, $1.50, and $2.50.
