Save your country and save yourself money by buying your
hardware supplies at home, for department stores in Chicago have no
interests in" common with ours, and by the time you pay freight from
Chicago on stoveSj, rauges, buggies, guns, and most anything else, they
will have cost you as much, and in many instances more than we can
sell you the same goods for. Supply yourself with any of these things
from our Store.

CENTRAL INDUSTRIAL INSTITUTE NOTES
Some Interesting Matters Discussed by the
Eutopian Society.
Teachers will do well to notice
the new ad of the Central Indus.
trial Institute this week. 3
We consider ourselves fortun
ate in securing the services of J.
E. Shipman during the teachers
course.
" Already a number of teach
have said "we are coming."
Coasting has been the order of
the day this week.
For some days God has been
teaching us how this sin cursed
earth can be made the symbol of
purity. She has been wrapped
in a mantle of pure white snow.
We sometimes feel that the
realities of life have lost their
places in our lives. The old time
family altars have been, thrown
down and the boy is no longer
being taught to pray bv the v. i
ampies of his father. How long,
on now jong shall the evidences
of these things be seen in the
school teachers life ?

The March Smart Set. 1 . i
The SmartSet has fsirly out
done itself in the March number,
whii&ksthe.beginnin" of
the sixth year of its existence.
The complete novel is "The Prin
cess Elopes," by Harold Mac
Grath, an author whose immense
popularity is due to the fact that
he is a bom story-teller. -(Mr.
MacGrath is at his very best in
this charming tale of a European
pnncess and a young American
medical student. It is . a delicrht-
ful blending of romance :and
delicate humor, touched every
where with the deft hand of an
author who has mastered his
craft Nothing better of its
kind has appeared in a magazine
in many a month.
Among the dozen short stories
in this number about half are bv
authors who have been " either
entirely unknown hitherto,- to
magazine readers or are just
cominsr into Drommence. Tf. ha
always been the avowed policy
oi I he Smart Set to encourage
young authors'. and this issue
proves the wisdom of Vne nolicv.
une ot the best stones in the
magazine is "A Venial Offense'
by Norvell Harrison. In marked
contrast to its humor is the
powerful and dramatic motive of
Beatrix Demarest Llovd'a 44 A
Man Unlearned. ' William Ham
ilton Osborne's "The Transfer nf
Thorheycroft" is a strikingly
ciever ana satirical storv of ,
phase of smart society, and "The
Aimisa oi a OQUi," by Frances
Aymar Matthews, is so strange
ana unusual that it defies classi
fication. Other stories, eonallv
clever, are by Kate Jordan, Van
iassel Sutphen, Clinton Danger
field, Julia B. Foster and Alger
non xassm.
Maurice Francis Egan has an
entertaimnc: and ...tirhelv
. r " j
on questions of Precedence. "
in which he discusses the laws
that "govern social usages in
washmgtona
The verse in the March Smart
Set is of remarkably fine quality
and includes characteristic work
by Madison Cawein, Zone Gale,
Arthur Stringer, Florence Wil
kinson, Gouverneur Morris, Edith
M. Thomas, R. K. Munkittrick
and John Vance Cheney.
If The Smart Set maintains
the standard of this number even
approximately for the coming
twelve months, the future success
of the magazine will be as sure as
its past
