"What   is   that    fine     Mrge
building  with   the   plat
front?" is   a   question   usually
! by strangers as they
pass thru the village ami pause
to take a good look tit Macho's
furniture store. And they have
reason to pause and look, for
our furniture as   it   now
appears with its artistic front
and fine displays of bed room
sets, oriental rugs, mission furniture, etc., In the la rge plate
glass windows, would attract
the attention of the passer-by
in any town. But the merits of
this store must not    be   judged
ly by the appearance of
the front and the displays in
the windows. The storeroom
is 30x100 feet, aside from the
workshop, office and casket
room in the rear, which together are 30x40 feet. The store
room is well rilled (and more
goods coming every few days)
with a full line of goods usually found in a tirst class furniture store. Mr. Macho invites
you to come in and look at his1
stock- even if you have no intention of buying. Mr. Macho
was reared in and among furniture, learnt the trade of making
furniture in Germany, and has
ever since been connected with
the furniture business. He sits
on and at and among furniture
till day, and even when he goes
home to meals, he finds them
served on a piece of furniture.
When his day's work is done he
goes forest and sleep iu furniture. Why shouldn't he be a
successful furniture man?

HORSES  HAVE   GLANDERS
Dr. Lvon. of the State Veterinary beard was in Little
Fall-. Saturday where he ordered two horses, affected with
glanders, to be killed. It isJ
said that the prompt killing
of affected animals in the last
years reduced the number of
cases to 40 in 1910, whereas the number of ca-es in
previous vears ran up as high
as two to three nundied, and
even as many as five hundred
have been reported in one
year.	
Nick Mueller reports that
somebody stole about twenty
pounds of fresh meat from his
woodshed a few nights ago.
The meat was in a dishpan and
the thief took pan and all. Nick
is willing to part with the meat
but respectfully asks the thief
to return the pan. Nick put
a quarter of beef in ice in the
wood shed some time ago which;
he thinks disappeared to quickly for the little meat he and
his family has eaten. This goes
to show that the thief is one
who make regular calls.
