told the laboring man thut he had a

found both false and mischievous. it
not only eliminated all Idea of Chris

NEW HUGS FOR FALL.
The new Rugs cannot fail to attract the attention of
every lover of what Is beautiful and artistic in color com-
bination. Each year the designer and ’c’olorist seem to
surpass previous efforts. and never before have we shown
more beautiful Carpet Rugs than now. There are rich and
brilliant Oriental effects and there is variety enough to
keep one looking for hours. We are able to furnim sizes
that we have heretofore been unable to obtain.
Every size from the Door Mat to the large IIIII4 Rug.
and nothing we cannot honestly recommend. V
The White Sale is still going on in the basement. In
spite of the fact that thousands of yards have left us. there
are yet some great values.
