Human nature is very much human nature all the world
over, and that which you see in others stands a good chance
of beinabtrue of yourself, You like to think you are getting
good value, just as we like to think that we are selling good
value. Our idea, then, is to convey to you that we are sell-
ing the best values obtainable in Furs, Clothing, Hats, Caps,
etc.
In Ladies' Tailoring Cloths, we ask 85c for an all.. wool,
double fold, black frieze, the width of this frieze is 58 inches
-,--see it. Another special is our $1 a yard homespun. It is
worth three time the value of the ordinary goods "sold as
homespun at awl figures as 69e and 79c. It's worth seeing
this $1 homespur of ours.
Ladies' tailor made costumes made here are made sure
to fit; care, taste, beautiful materials and experienced work-
men combine to, make our -work above the average. It costs
you little more than a readynaade, and then'it spits and looks
a great deal better.
Ladies'_ Furs, --Such a thing as a detailed description of
the stock we carry of ladies: fine furs, is impossible. You
simply should. see our stock before buying—it will pay you.
Men's Clothing.
• Every day pants, and the buckskin also, selling at $1 a
pair. The heaviest weight of cloth we ever sold in a rain-
coat, and the price is $5. Rubber lined smocks at $1,50, $2
and $2.90. The celebrated mud coat at P. "Our own
make," the symbol of honest work and. good ]paterials—our
own make of men's suits at $8 and $10. A blue worsted suit
that is attracting inany buyers, is the $5450 suit. Men's
wool underwear, a splendid. value in all wool at $1.50 a suit.
Men's Furs.
There is no fur coat equal 'to a good coon. We show' a
beauty at $40 cash. The calf coat is now known to be the
best fur coat for knockabout use; our prices on the various
grades are $18.50, $20 and $25. The various cheaper coats --
wallaby and Australian. coon—at $12 and $15, do nicely for a
hack coat, and nearly as cheap as a cloth coat.
Our men's tailoring department is a busy one at present.
The goods that attract buyers are the $16.50 Irish serge, the
West of England worsted at $18 and. $20, the Scotch cheviots
at $16.50, $18 and $20, according to the weight and weave
of the cloth. •
Your boys, what about their suits ? We are in a', position
to give you splendid wearing suits at $3, $4 and $5 rfor the
boys wearing the three piece suits, while for the little chaps
there are big values at $1.50, $2, $2.50 'and -1$3.
We mention. again our big value in boy' long stockings,
doubled all the way through, at 35c, boys' weaters at 500
and 75c, all wool; boys' mitts. at 25c and 350; boys' school
pants at 25c, 350, 50o, 65c and 75c—these are our own make
boys' underwear at 25c, 350 and 50c; boys' school hats at
10e; men's thrSstaing hats at 50e, 75e and $1.
Sweaters are a big line with us, and we give very com-
fortable sweaters at 750 and $1 for men.
Some interesting values in men's sox are finding a ready
sale. A union wool and cotton wearing sock, two pairs for
25o; a medium weight grey wool and dark grey sock sells
at 20o; a heavy weight wool sock, t� sell at 25c, seems to
impress many as very good value. We are asking ,50c for , a
sock that is home knit, and the yarn is home spun. What
we consider the best value in a black Cashmere sock in the
market, sells for 25c.
We will not ask you to read any more about prices. In
ending our weekly talk, we lay claim to your trade on the
grounds of doing business fairly. We offer for sale honest
goods. NS, hen you leave the deciding with us, you never
fail to get good value. We cheerfully refund naoney where
goods are not satisfactory, or when we ha- not the thing
you want. We sell for cash for the most part, but do not
refuse credit to a good mai. •
THE BRUSSELS SHOW.1
I
The annual show of the East Huron' and
Grey Branch Agrioulturel Societies ware held
in Brussels, on the commodious grounds of
the latter society, on Thnrsday and Friday
of last week. Our Brussels friends did not
strike as favorable weather this year as they
might have done had they been on. better
terms with the weather clerk. However,
the fault was not their". They had done
their part by offering a splendid prize list
and providing an excellent programme of
special attraction., and, had the weather
been favorable, there would have. been one
of the largest and best ahows held in the
county this season' , while the crowd of visi-
tors would have overwhelmed the neat lit-
tle town. The weather the firet day was
cold, wet, and in every way disagreeable.
Yet, notwithstanding this fact, there was a
splendid *how in the hall, nearly every de-
partment being well filled, and several in
which there was an exceptional display and
the strongest competition. In fact, there
has never been a better inside ehow at Brus-
sels, and the exhibitoreare deserving of the
highest credit for coming out on so disagree-
able a day. The second day was an improve-
• ment on the first in • point of weathero al-
though it was not favorable, the morning
being wet and the day cold. However, des-
•pito this drawback, there wae a good show
and a large crowd of people, the gate re-
ceipts amounting to about $375, with the
entrance fee at 10 and 15 cents. As will be
seen by the prize list, the several classes
were well filled, but perhaps the largest
show was in cattle, the fine herds of Messrs.
D. Milne, Peter Robertson, R. Corley, and
other well •known and successful breeders,
being well represented. In no department
of agriculture has the northern part of the
county made more marked improvement
within the paet ten years than in cattle.
Owing to the unfavorable weather and the
wet condition of the driving track, the
speeding contests had to be declared off.
This oacasioned some disappointment, but,
by the time the judges completed their work
with the other exhibits, moat of those on the
grotind were cold enough to desire to get to
warmer quarters. Considering the moat un-
favorable circumstances, the show was a suc-
cess in every respeot, and the directors May
well congratulate themselves that they got
over ad dangerous a spot so successfully.
In the evening there was an entertainment
under the auspices of the society. This
proved a popular wind up to the day's pro.
oeedings. The hall was crowded by a most
appreciative audience, and the coffers of the
s,ociety would be considerably enlarged by
the proceeds of the entertainment. The fol.
lowing is a list of the successful competitors:

—A wealthy Canadian named John N.
Murphy, and hailing from Toronto, while
visiting New York this week, engaged a
cabman to take him around to see the sights.
While thus engaged he had his purse, con-
taining $2,555 stolen. He is that much
poorer and should be a good deal wiser.
— George Nesbett, a well known man of
St. aitherines, drepped dead on the street
while returning from work Saturday even-
ing. Heart failure is supposed to have
oaneed death. He was a native of Ireland,
51 years of age and leaves one son and three

—Mrs. George Symonds and daughter,
from Williamstown, Glengarry county, were
run into by a train at Leneaster crossing
on Saturday last and were instantly killed.
The mother was ,terribly mangled. The
horse was out in -two -and the girl's body was
carried some distrince on the cow -catcher.
—Frederick Gleeb miller, of Acton, was
killed Saturday morning at that station.
His decapitated bedy was found -beside the
track just after the 6:35 train for Toronto
had pulled out. No one save'the occurrence,
and it is not known whether it was accident-
al or otherwise, He had recently shown

— W. L. Scott, a well -to do farmer, of
City View, &dew miles out of Ottawa, was
found dead near the lumber piles at the base

— David McGee, of Toronto, the young
man who ran away with 15 year old Edna
McIntyre, and who was arrested at London,
came up for sentence in the sessions at To-
ronto the other day. The girl, it will be
remembered, in the witness box, said she
loved McGee, and got him to take her away.

he could lay bare his heart the judge would
see in it nothing but love and respect for his
companion, whom he had not harmed. The

—An Ottawa correspondent says: Some-
one has been guilty of a gross breach of
etiquette in permitting the publication of
the addrese of,the women of Toronto to the
Duchess of Cornwall and York in advance of
its presentation. The rule was Iaid down
weeks ago that these addressee were to be
sent to Government House in advance, and
they were regarded as confidential. To
publish an address intended either for the
Duke or Duchess in advance of its presenta-
tion is regarded as a very disooartecue act.
It is felt, howevor, that it would be hardly
fair to the ladies' committee to reject the
address on account of the excessive zeal of
one individual.

Maidstone township, drove their horse in

gical attention, they were driven to their
home.

Griffin, barrister, who has for soma years
occupied the responsible position of private
secretary to Mr. J. P. Whitney, M. P. E.,
leader - of the Opposition in Ontario, will
shortly take up his residence in Winnipeg,

the tittle girl Grace. Shortly afterwaeds
Mrs. Chater was walking through the
dining room towards the kitchen, carrying
the child. The boy obtained the rifle'a 22
calibre one, from where it stood behind the
sideboard. Grace svas looking backward
over her mother's shoulder at him, and he
pretended to play soldier. Not thinking
that the rifle was loaded he placed the beat
on the ground and pulled batik the trigger.
"Iteady I Present arme I Fire 1" were he
words he uttered, and obeying the men.
mends as he gave them, he raised the rifle
to hie shoulder, took aim at the little face
over Mrs. °hater's shoulder, and fired. The
bullet% which was a 22 short, took effect in
the right side of the child's head, crossed to
the left side, and passed back and lodged in

versity. On Saturday evehing he was
missed by his comrades who visited 'his
roonnand finding the door looked, gained, an
entrance through the transom. They found
