And on her lover's arm she leant, And round her waist she felt it fold And far across the hills they went, In that new world which is the old. Across the hills and far away . Beyond their utmost purple rim, 'And deep in the dying day -': The happy princess followed him. And o'er them many a gliding star ' And many a merry wind was borne, ;And streamed thro' many a golden bar, The twilight melted in the morn. I And o'er them many a flowering range Of vapor buoyed the crescent bark, And rapt thro' many a rosy change The twilight died into the dark. And o'er the hills and far away, ' Beyond their utmost purple rim, Beyond the night, across the day, Thro; all the world she followed him.

It will interest her to see our new Wooltex Coats and Suits because in them we can point out several special feat ures of tailoring and fabrics that actually preserve the style much longer than is usual with Coats from $25 up arid Suits from $29.50 up. This is a good time to save on clothes and Wooltex makes this possible without any sacrifices. . BROWN CO., Buy Thrift Stamps Here UNDER THE FLAG., (To the Memory of the Soldier Boy, inomas F.

The sol diers should be informed through of ficial orders of the presence of such representative and that the Red Cross is able and willing to serve both soldiers and their families when in need of any helpful service. 4. To conduct canteen service sta tions for furnishing refreshments to soldiers when traveling through the country, to furnish emergency relief to the sick and wounded when en route and to see that they are con veyed to a hospital when necessary and requested by the commanding of ficer. 5; A representative of the Ameri can Red Cross may be attached to each base hospital to furnish emer gency supplies when called upon, to communicate with the families of pa tients, to render home service to pa tients, and such other assistance as pertains to Red Cross wprk. 6.

You Should Buy Low Shoes Now and You Should Buy Them Here Because The means of transportation are daily becoming worse; we can no longer tell when goods have been shipped to us just when they will reach here; some times two weeks, sometimes two months elapse before we get the shipments that's how uncertain deliveries are. However, we are fortunate in having in stock just now a big lot of the new season's low Shoes, and we think the prudent woman will see the wisdom of making her purchase now, while our stock is fairly complete. Then, too, the prices are continually advancing. We describe below four of the most popu lar styles. Remember that the prices are less than they will be later.
