Saree daa Ala aaa Furniture 'URNITURE is used in department stores, homes, hotels and auction rooms; and when you get up in the dark night it will follow you doggedly about the room, will hit you on the elbows and shins and toes, and, in fact, display an extraordinary amount of pernicious activit; Furniture is divided into two classes, antique and modern; but owing to use of furniture factories and-the spread of industrialism, antique furniture is becoming more and more common, Chippendale sideboards now being made while you wait. Furniture is made of shellac and glue arranged in convenient forms to attract the attention of the passer-by. Sometimes wood is used in furniture. Furniture is bought on the install- ment plan when it does not come as wedding presents. Some people get married every once: in a while just to have a new dining-room set. But, tried too often, this does not always work, When you buy furniture on the installment plan you have the satis- faction of owning something that does not belong to you and of being enter- tained and uplifted by the monthly visits of a representative of the furni- ture company, who usu: breaks in on you when you are giving a dinner party to some people with whom you would not ordinarily associate if they didnt have more money than you. T AS seems to be gradually de- veloping a state of border warfare with rapscallion Mexicans, and may be pathfinder to Uncle Sam in his quest for the lost path of duty. Visitor: What's that new structure on the hill there? Faewer: Well, if T find a tenant for it, it's a bungalow: if I don't, it’s a barn.—Passing Show. he Harvest Moon Hispenses its good cheer hroughout the entire year in city and country.

This year, more than ever before, there is ample evidence that KisselKar quality standards have been fully maintained, with many refinements added —the new models are unquestionably the best KisselKars ever built. KISSELKAR AL VEaR Looming in the background is the perfected ALL-YEAR - Car—an original feature that gives to KisselKars an exclusive attraction and utility—a touring car in summer, a closed car in winter—and supplying for the first time one body for year-round service. The ALL-YEAR Car offers the iden- tical service of two interchangeable bodies with a considerable saving in both initial cost and making the changes for summer or winter. With the top attached the ALL-YEAR Car transforms a touring car into a luxurious closed coach, with all the comforts of the Limousine—beautiful Rothschild lines—masterly workmanship. Sedan or Coupe Top for touring bodies and roadsters, respectively. Investigate the new KisselKars with their exclusive ALL-YEAR features—it will be well worth your time. $1050 to $2000.

If anybody doubts it you have only to take him along Fifth Avenue and similar streets in other cities which furnish ocular demonstration of great wealth. And you can also exhibit incontestable tables of bank clearings and bank deposits On the other hand, it is equally safe to state that this is a country of great poverty and degradation. If anybody doubts that you can easily hustle him off to the outskirts of the city and show him slums of as high a grade of impoverishment as ever graced a municipal map in any age. The rub comes in comparing these two greatnesses of our country to find out whether its great wealth exceeds its great poverty or vice versa. Upon this point authorities differ, and authorities are never to be depended upon, anyway. comicbooks.com
