The Absent - Minded Professor. A college professor who is v?ry absent-minded got on a crowded' car not long ago, and had to stand up. As the conductor came for his fare the professor suddenly perceived a .veil known society woman of his ac quaintance. He at once put his hand into his pocket, took out a nickle and handed it nonchalantly to the woman, then, turning, he made an elaborate bow and shook foands cordially with the conductor. ? ?

' i NOW IS THE TIME TO LOOK OUT FOR THE BOYS CLOTHING -S--. ? . ? ?' '? V * ' " ? ' & ? - . Quality is always important, but in boys clothes it is absolutely necessary. It requires the very best materials and making to keep the knees and elbows covered, the seat from needing patches, the seams from splitting open. Quality, highest quality, perfection; that's the standard of the makers of HERCULES clothes for boy's. It's the standard of this store, too. We meet your demands for quality with merchandise of quality. It counts in the fabrics, in the linings, in the tailoring. It counts in the longer wear the boy gets from the garments, in the satisfaction they give while worn. Turn a HERCULES suit inside out and you will find the coat has a patented double lining in the sleeve at the arm pit; right where the wear is most severe. You will find the pants lined throughout with Herculone, (a special lining made only for Hercules suits) and all seams reinforced with tape ? not the ordinary white, spongy cotton, tape, but a wider and much stronger one. In addition to this, Hercules suits are guaranteed by Daube, Cohen & Company, Chicago, to be all pure wool and shower proof. A Hercules will out-wear two suits of any other make regardless of price. Think of this store as a quality store. Think of HERCULES clothes of quality. Select your boy's suit or overcoat here. - WE ARE SHOWING ADVANCE STYLES IN MEN AND BOY'S HATS
