Is only a few days off, and it’s time you were doing your shop-
ping for that great day.

Paducah, Texas, Dec. 14,
FOR CHRISTMAS
QUALITY OR QUANTITY, WHICH?
There are no nicer presents to be given than those found in a
Hardware Store. We have an assorted line of such articles that
will make your friends glad, and it is all quality stuff, too. We
will take the greatest pleasure in going over our list with you
and helping you make selections for your Christmas Gifts. We
carry most everything that is to be found in a First-Class Hard-
ware Store.
We would suggest that you come in and look our stock over. You
will find a Safety Razor or a Pocket Knife for Father or for
Brother. A Gun for little Brother, Trinkets for Little Sister,
many things for Big Sister, Silverware for Mother, and many
other things too numerous to mention. They are as cheap as can
be sold, too. No “boosted” Christmas prices on them—just the
same old price that you would have to pay for them any other time
during the year. Come in and let us show you.

AND HE WORRIED ABOUT IT
The sun’s heat will give out in
ten million years more—
And lie worried about it.
Tt will sure give out then, if
doesn’t before—
And he worried about 4t.
It will surely give out, so the
scientists said
fn all scientifieal books he had
read,
And the whole boundless universe
then will be dead—
And he worried about ‘it.
And some day the earth will fall
into the sun—
And lie worried about it.
Just as sure and as straight as if
shot from a gun—
And he worried about it.
“When strong gravitation un-
buckles her straps,
Just picture,’’ he said, “what, a
fearful collapse!
I* will come in a few million
ages, perhaps’’—
And he worried about it.

Frozen men will stand stiff with

As if vainly beseeching a general

And he worried about it.
