The Amount of Wear

that a boy gets out of a suit of clothes depends mostly 011 how the suit is made. If it is cheaply made, lined with a weak, flimsy lining it certainly will not give good satisfaction and wear.

Hercules Suits for Boys

are guaranteed to you to be all pure wool and shower proof. They are made to give satisfaction and to give service. The coats have a double lining in the sleeve at the arm pit, as shown. They are lined with a double warped Italian cloth. Will not fray out or wear full of holes. Try a Hercules if you have never bought one.

You'll save money.

COULDN'T GET BEST OF HIM

.How One of the Old-Time Yankee Peddlers Made a Trade In a t::Southern Town.

The genuine Yankee peddler passed out of existence with the creation of the "notion store," but he was a most Interesting character, astonishingly j"Bharp," and frequently amusing. One 'such appeared In a general store in a southern town on one occasion, deposited his pack on the floor, and reImarked to the merchant: I "1 guess I oouldn't drive a trade I with you, colonel?" "I reckon you calculate Just about right!" was the decided reply of the merchant, who had "had dealings" with Yankee peddlers on previous oo casions. "Get out!" "O, well, don't get riled up—no harm done. Now, Just look at this dozen genuine razor strops, easy worth three dollars—let you have 'em for two dol |lar, colonel." "I wouldn't touch any of your trash i—you get out I "the merchant declared "Well, now, colonel, I always like ito do some business in a place. Tell you what—I'll bet you five dollars that if you make me an offer for them strops, we'll make a trade." "I'll go you," said the merchant, :"and," he added, when the stakes had jbeen put up, "I'll give you a quarter ifor the strops!" I "They're yourn, colonel!" said the

Yankee, pocketing the wager.

"My goodness," said Mrs. Oldcastle, *1 can't understand how anyone ever Is able to muster up enough courage or daring or whatever it is to go flying on an aeroplane. There is nothing In the world that could induce me to travel on one, no matter how safe they make them." "Yes, it's perfectly awful the way folks risk their lives," replied her hostess as she rubbed an $8,000 solitaire on her velvet sleeve. "I really think a good many peopte go crazy over them kind of things. When I waB & girl I went to see a man who went up in a balloon and came down on his parasite, and it affected me so I never want to see anything of that kind again as long as I live."

Clumsy Compliment.

He was a flatterer, but a clumsy one. Noting that the girl of his heart possessed beautiful teeth that shone like ivory, he ventured to pass a com? pliment. "Dearest," he whispered, leaning over the musio rack, "your teeth are like piano keys."

Freezing him with an icy glance, she turned on her heel. "Sir, how dare you Insult me." "Insult you?" "Yes, Insinuate that my teeth are as large as piano keys." And without another word she left the parlor, leaving him crestfallen and bewildered.

The Faithful Nurse.

"Is this you, doctor?" asks th* nurse, over the telephone. "Yes," answers the physician. "Well, you know you said Mr. Bonder would not show any signs of improvement for five or six days?" "Yes." "Well, this is only the second day and he is a great deal better already. Shall I give him something to make him worse for the other three or four days?"—Life.

Too Particular.

"I've one fault to find with the poets," said the finical boarder. They rhyme such words as 'tire* and lire' with 'higher,' and yet when they're not using them for rhyming purposes they consider them words of One syllable."

The Reason.

"How did you ever happen to call your little daughter Dagmar?" "My wife found after careful inquiry that it was about the crnly thing we could call the little one without running the risk of naming her after some relative of mine."

INFORMATION.

Stranger—Sonny, how can I get to the railway station from here? Boy—Have you got a carriage?

Rotbaay, Minn., May 10, '11 Editor Journal:—I do not know how you come to send us the Journal bat it certainly is welcome. It is like a sweet breeze from dear old Iowa. Has somebody paid for it or are you sending it of .your own accord, if so we will psy you in the fall. Now about the Danish matter I would say that if "Hoorledes Kamelen fik sin Pukkel" is a sample of what we are going to have, I for one would much rather have something like "St Peter at The Gate."
