C. Steph- enson and L. II. Scott have something new to tell you and McMurphy Sisters are talking to the ladies. The Courier is the best advertisement of Burliugton that goes out of the county.

We never omit ads. on account of space. We will make the necessary space, even if it does cost a little more. Our competitors have frequently said The Courier did not have the facilities to do good mechanical work. A glance at onr advertising colums this week will convince the most skeptical that such statements are incorrect.

Twenty-nine columns of home advertising (counting paid locals) and our facilities are not yet exhausted. Our job department is complete in every detail and we can print you anything from a milk ticket up. Brief work, constitutions and by-laws, catalogues, a specialty. Our stationery stock is also complete, and with the best press, best quality of stali3iiery, newest type and best job printer in the county, The Courier stands pre-eminently first.

The young women in charge of the check room are gownel in black, as are all of the young women employed in the library. They attend the check room in turn. Whether they are afraid of contagion or plain Chicago dirt is not in evidence, but before the young woman in charge is fairly ready for the day she slips a large easy glove on her left hand.

The mate lies on the table, and before she takes the proffered coat she slips her hand in the right glove and then places the coat in a cubby hole. After she has given the owner of the coat his check she returns to her table, removes the right hand glove and resumes her reading.
