in a peculiar manner. Mr. Hancock
had driven the horse in from a clover
lot, and the hoi'se playfully ran back
to the lot. The dividing fence was
of wire, and the horse not noticing
the wire ran against it. The wire
struck him about the breast, and the
horse was running so fast that
striking the wire turned him a sum

Hancock raid the horse barely kicked

was not worth it, he would not have
taken $500 for him.

World Brand
QOME goods are known all
over the world. The Steinway
Piano, Singer Sewing Machine,
Pullman Car, and "Queen Qual
ity" Shoe are four "World Brands"
which especially appeal to women.
If you are not using each of these
you are missing a lot. Especially
is this true of "Queen Quality"
Shoes. Try them once and see why.
Do not make the mistake of classing
these new "Queen Quality" styles with
ordinary $2.50 to $3.50 Oxfcrds. The
thing to do is to see the shoes.
t
How is it possible to sell the "Queen
Quality" Shoes at these prices? Simply
and only because of the money saved by
wholesale handling. The quantity
made and scld is enormous much the
largest in the wo? Id.
