P’or Weddings
Back of every gift is a feeling of sentiment but the
deepest sentiment goes with the wedding gift. Foremost,
one seeks for quality—then individuality.
This store has these thoughts constantly in mind
while searching the markets for things unique and genuine.
That we have succeeded in fulfillment of this idea will be
readily evidenced by a visit to our store.
If you have not fully decided just what you will pre-
sent as a wedding gift it will be a pleasure to assist you in
your selection, j
We trust that we shall have the pleasure of showing
you the many new and attractive gifts which have been
bought for the season.

HISTORIC BAGDAD.
In Aneisnt Tims* It Was tbs Finest
City In tha World.
Bagdad is known In ancient history
sa the capital of tbe mighty Saracen
empire, over which tbe descendant! of
King Nebuchadnezzar ruled lor many
cent ra lea. The population of Bagdad Sa
uncertain, but tbe best authorities esti-
mate it at about 150,000.
The bulk of the people are of Arab
blood, bat there are thousands of Jews
and a large admixture of other races,
especially Persians. Tbe Turks ara
comparatively few and are mostly gov-
ernment officials.
The entire city is surrounded by a
brick wall fire miles in circumference
and forty feet high, but in some places
broken down, and by a deep, dark
ditch.
Tbe houses of Bagdad have, in gen-
eral, no windows toward tbe front and
are built of old yellowish red brick,
which has been known to become red
hot during tbe heat of tbe day, Tbe In-
teriors of tbe houses are gorgeously
decorated with vaulted ceilings, rich
moldings, inlaid mirrors and massiva
gildings.
The dome* and minarets, of which
there are no fewer than 2,000, the ear-
liest dating from tbe twelfth century,
are ornamented with glazed tiles and
paintings in green and white and are
considered to be the finest in tbe world.
When Bagdad was the home of the
caliphate in the eighth century it was
the finest city in tbe world, possessing
a population of over 2,000,000.—Pear-
son's Weekly.
Transvaal Terminations.
In perusing the names of South Afri-
can towns In the newspapers many
most have noted the word “fonteln,"
which appears so often. This Word is
the English “fountain,” and towns with
this termination have been nanied'fett-
er Dutch farms, which Are always
bnllt beside fountains of spring water.
Thus Bloemfontein means “flowery
fountain,” Modderfonteln “muddy foun-
tain,” Kleinfonteln “small fountain”
and Elandsfontein “deer fountain."
Another town termination which
many readers must have noticed Is
that of “laagte,” which is pronounced
“laughty.” It means “shelter lor ani-
mals,” and hence when we talk of the
battle of Elandslaagte we may know
tbkt it xfas fought on a spot frequent-
ed by deer.—London Mail.
Nat Always.
“And now, boys,” concluded tbe emi-
nent visitor to the school, “never be In
too great e hurry. More haste, less
speed. Remember tbe hare and the
tortoise. Let ‘slow, but sure,’ be your
motto. Then you can't go wroxj Be
slow and you will be sure.”
“Not always, sir,” piped a ; oung
urchin. V
“Not always? How do yoo make
that out?”
“There’* lots of things that’s slow,
hot they ain’t sure.”
“Oh! Name one, then.”
“Please, sir, a watch.”—Exchange.
Food Value of Milk.
Milk Is an animal food. In nature Its
use is universal as food for tbe grow-
ing young. This means that milk
makes growth, does more than merely
maintain the body. Milk i>ossesses tbe
element of growth not only in the but-
ter fat, but also in the skimmiik. There
is no better food than milk.—Exchange.
Ink Stains.
If ink is spilt on tbe tablecloth Im-
mediately melt a candle. Taking some
of the tallow, spread it over the ink
patch and leave it to dry. Afterward
wash the tablecloth, and all traces of
Ink will disappear.

Your Now Lyric Monday 11th.
Rex Beach, author of “The Spoil-
ers,” “The Sliver Horde,” etc., has
written another wonderful story «>f
Alaska. Mr. Beach’s Alaskan stories
have made him famous, for he knows
the frozen North, and understands
the vices and virtues of the big-
hearted pioneers and adventurers of
the bleak wastes of the Klondike.
“Pardners” ,i» the story of Justus
Morrow, a young mun who goes to
Alaska during the early days of the
Gold Rush and strives to win a for-
tune from the sands of Noifie. Com-
batting the biting cold of the Arctics,
tbe conspiracy of enemles and striving
to subdue the rough element of the
camps, his adventures furnish the
material for a thrilling story.
Charlotte Walker, the celebrated
emotional actress, portrays tlie part
of Morrow’s wife, and in the tense
situations which unfold as the plot de-
velops, her exceptional talents are
allowed full sway.
