Prayer Ueetlcgs 08 Trains.
Two enterprising and np-to-date
evangelists have hit upon
the idea of train prayer mestiLg.
Suburban travelers are the ones
approached by these two sslf- ap
pointed missionaries, whose first
attack has been made , upon the
North London Railway trains,
morning aud evsning. One plays
hymns on a concertina land one
joins in singing rind praying. The
.services oil wheels, though occa
sionally resented, - are not gener
ally disapproved. Indeed, many
bas'ness men who crowd the oars'
at the times these services are
held, seem to enjoy them. So en
thusiastic are the originators on
account of their success that, pro
vided sufficient funds are forth
coming, propose extending their
sphere of activity to other rail
way lines.! They have received
the consent of several railway
companies already, who favora
bly view the new departure.

As a mover of Footwear a "Q. S. S." hasn't any Competitors.
Saturday, the First Day of our Big,Sale, broke all previous Shoe
Selling Records in this town. Never in all our lives have we
wrapped up so many shoes in One Day, but there are plenty left,
you-can't miss 'em, The Sale included all sorts of shoes except
sorry ones, with only HALF-sized prices on ANY of them. In
another Three Weeks our Spring Shoes will be coming in from the
lactones and we've got to make room for them, and also have the
Cash Money to pay for them. Hence, it's no longer a question of
PROFIT on hese shoes, it's no longer a question of COST for them,
as these questions have already been settled by the unprecedent
ed Shoe Business done by this Nw Store the past season, it's now
simply a question of Getting Rid of All our WINTER-WEIGHTS
at SOME PRICE OR ANOTHER, and doing it QUICK.
