And we'll wonder why

When hope were dashed
And plans went wrong, c
And why we sighed
O'er futile things
O'er wealth and the pride
That glory brings.
And why we wept
For a little while
O'er what later one
Would evoke a smile,
And why we whined.
As children do,
And feared to drink
From the cup of rue...,
We'll wonder why
Our hearts were broke

By a feeble stroke
And the toll-time cares '

LONG; COATS.
We have a few Long Coats left and are really anxious
to close them out. We don't want them. When we were
buying our stock for the new store we bought too many of
these Coats, but failed to realize this fact until here lately.
The Coats are positively the latest in styles, cuts and
trimmings; in fact, were manfactured especially for this
season's trade. They have been good sellers and are still,
but we want to get them out of the way. Therefore, we
are making the following reductions in prices: !
$25.00 Coats for , . . , , . . . . .... $16.90
$18.50 Coats for ... .... . . '. . . . $11.90

Look at the JLbQvi ptfees aiid; then come afad look at the
Coats. If they are not pleasing in quality, as well as in
price, we will be surprised. "V
