All Shot to Pieces!
We Are Fighting the People's
Battle, and the People Are
Standing by Us Nobly
Early in the year, when we opened fire on "skyscraper
prices," we little dreamed that we would win such a com
plete victory. WE KNEW FURNITURE IIAD NEVER
BEEN SOLD IN PORTLAND AT SUCH A LOW FIG
URE, but we knew that the people must be convinced of
this fact, and the fondest hopes we then entertained are
far behind our present actual realization. The business we
have done exceeds our fondest expectations by thousands
and tens of thousands of dollars.

But Good on Buyers!
We have Revolutionized Fur
niture Prices in Portland, and
the Public Has Shown Its
Appreciation
Our business has been the ONE BIG SUCCESS OF THE
YEAR. Our trade has come from all parts of the city.
WEST SIDE CUSTOMERS SPEND THOUSANDS OF
DOLLARS AT OUR STORE EACH MONTH. We have
actually saved our customers at least $25,000 this year,
which means that hundreds of homes have been fitted up
much more elaborately than they would have been had we
not been in business.

When the above picture was printed, early in the year, the Big Price Boys were just waking up to the fact that Ave were an important factor in the furniture market, and every effort has been made to
discredit us, but the people were too "knowing" to be fooled. The Big Price Boys naturally try to prove that their prices are low; but the public knows they must pay big rents, which the customer must
assume. Ihe Big Price Boys also constantly convict themselves bv selling at double the cost of furniture by advertising "specials" a" t half price. Now, WE NEVER MARK GOODS HIGH ENOUGH

Tliese cuts illustrate three patterns of Library. Tables that we have placed on special sale at $8.00 each
there are others. When you see them 3-011 can hardly believe vour eves. If you know ANYTHING
AT ALL about values even a "LITTLE, WEE, TINY BIT" you will want to pinch yourself to see
if you are dreaming. They are well finished, and tops are 26x42 inches and 28x46 inches.
How It AH Comes About
Through' a misunderstanding an Eastern factory shipped us different tables from those ordered, and in
the adjustment we were given a large special discount. So, in putting them on special sale without profit,
we are actually selling Library Tables at less than the regular factory price. A BIG SNAP AT $8.00.

AWAIT DEATH'S COMING
I'aris Do(or Displays Rare Courage
During and After Opera thin.
PARI Nov. 2S- itfpec:a. A remark

tlte hro being lr. Lauron. who wan
operated on for icaiucrrne. and exprrcaeii

lie might Judge ot his condition.
Dr. Lauron had attended a ratlent
aufferlna from a phlegmon. "U'hile per
formlnc an ojieratlon he prk-lted himself.
Hs promptly resorted to disinfectants,
fcut In spits of his rare his arm' became
Bacsrened. 1h doctor's colleagues vers
railed In for consultation. They in
formed him that an operation could not
be avoided.
Dr. Uauron ordered them to operate
at once, lie refused to be put under
an anaesthetic and bore the operation
with rare courage. "When it came to an
end he eaw the doctors were hiding the
amputated Unit). He called them and
begged to be allowed to see it. "As I am
Interested in the operation," he said, "I
will give my opinion."
The amputated arm was shown to him.
He examined the .flesh attentively, and
then remained silent for a moment.
Finally he Informed his colleagues that
he had no illusion about his fate. A
feeble smile overspread his face, "f shall
await the end."' he said calmly. "It will
not be long coming."
DOGS COMMIT SUICIDE
So Gravely Concludes Flammarfon,
After Scientific Observation.
PARIS. Nor. 2S. (Special.) M. Camille
Flammarion has been discussing the
question whether it Is really possible for
dogs to commit suicide, like human
beings, and concludes in the affirmative.
His remarks were occasioned .by the
alleged suicide of a Saint Bernard dog.
who threw himself under a motor-bus in
the Place Saint Sulpiee recently, an hour
after his mistress died, ss was mentioned
at' the time. He argues that the dog may
be assumed to have known as well as a
human being that a motor-bus could
crush him to death, and when he got in
front of its wheels he probably did so
as the quickest way to end his grief at
his mistress" demise.
He relates another story, which he says,
came under his own notice, of a dog who
threw himself into a river and deliberate
ly held his head under the water until
he was drowned because his master, who
did not wish to keep him any more, had
driven him away from his home. From
these and many other incidents' which he
recalls, he concludes that the stories of
dogs having committed suicide are not
so Incredible as they may seem at first
sight, and he adds that they may even
have borrowed the Instinct from man. -
FEW FRENCH WOMEN VOTE
Only 24 Out. of Thousand Take Ad
vantage of Opportnnlty.
PARIS. Nov. 28. (Special.) Votes
for women is apparently not what
French women ask for. During1 the last
few -months, for the first time, women,
as well as men, employed in trade and
business, had. by a new law, a vote for
the election of "Conseils de Prud
hommes," which are special commercial
courts. Tne ballots closed on October
31 last.
The returns ahow that .only S per
1000 women availed themselves of their
new privilege. Moreover, ' this small
minority consists entirely of female
clerks employed in one or two large
banks, whose names in every case had
been put down, on the voters' lists by
their employers, themselves. Not one
single woman engaged in trade had
taken' the trouble even to enter her
name in the registers.
The same thing has happened before
in a similar case, that of the election of
Judges of the Tribunal of Commerce,
for which women established in busi
ness have the1 vote. The matter is an
important one, as all trade disputes
are decided by that tribunal. Yet, up
to date, exactly eight women have put
their names down on the registers out
of the thousands who are principals or
partners in businesses of their own in
France, where there are probably more
trade and industrial undertakings in
feminine hands than are to be found in
any other country. Perhaps that is why.
they present a sublime indifference
toward the suffrage. Having so much
of the business of the country in their
own hands, or in their husbands', which
for a Frenchman Is, as a rule, exactly
the same thing, they have the sub
stance, and they as yet look upon the
suffrage as the shadow.
