• Crying oot, " Macgreegor 1".
• Wee MacGreegor is a little Scottish boy who lives in Mine
gow with his father, John Robinson, his mother, Lizzie, and
hi a baby sister Jeannie. He is a-quaintlittle personality, and
m st human from the top of his fine Glengarry bonnet to the
so es of his eturdy feet. He wheedles his father, whose only
weakness is a tendency to spoil the boy, and cajoles his mother
In the very face of her efforts to ilisoipline him. The devious
and very human methods which " Macgreegor " ontrives to
get what he wants ; the beautiful relation between the simple
father and mother,the kindly old grandfather Purdie, the
amusing visit of the entire family to the photographer's, the
interminable questions and remarks of "Macgreegor " when they
go to the Zoo, the tea party at aunt Purdie's, where, despite the
mother's' careful warnings, " Macgreegor " gets into trouble -all
add humor and genial charm to the book. The story may be
said to combine the kindly humanity and gentle domestic at-
mosphere of Burns' " Cotter's Saturday Night" with all the
laughable fun of "Helen's Babies." Lb has taken Great Britain
by storm, and Mr. Bell is hailed as a new and genuine humorist
rivalling Ian Maclaren and J. M. Barrie in popularity.

ofaAiAAMAAAAWANNOVV4eYseleVaN
Commencing Friday, June 19th, 1903, the greatest sale in the history of
this store is now on. About a naonth ago we purchased, at a very low rate on
the dollar, a general stock of Dry Goods in the city of Hamilton. This stock, in
addition to our Spring and Summer purchases., has left us over overloaded with
goods in every department, and on the above date we start a sacrifice sale.
Goods will go on sale at prices never heard of before in this vitinity. The
goods mentioned in the following list are only a few of the really specials we
have. Many of the best are not naentioned below.
PARIS GREEN.
I sell only Berger's Englieh, it is always
reliable, price 25c in lb lots ; less in larger
quantities.
HELEBORE
Often fella to give results becauee the stock
is old, and seems to lose strength by being
kept. As it has been my cuOom for many
years to destroy all left over, you can rely
upon the quality bought from J. S. Roberts.
INSECT POWDER
May be pure, and still worthless as an insect
killer, there are three grades, the beet being
ground from the buds before opening; the
second from the opened flower; and.the
third from the flower after growing old, the
latter is entirely worthless, and is used fre-
quently for adulteration. I have just
received a lot of pure
INSECT POWDER
ground from the unopened buds, and guar-
antee its quality.

and will soon have to be advanced. I am
