There clothes were ordered, a
coat that hit mo below the knees,
then across tho street into an old
hat store where I registered in a
book in which nobility had been
writing their names for centuries
and at this place we ordered a
block-top hat. Thence a few
doors and I was measured for a
stick and procured gloves.
This meant that 1 would waste
a few days in London while pre
parations for proper attire were
being made. With top hat, in
verted cane, heavy gloves and
long coat, my collar, vest and
proper English trousers, with
plenty to turn up at tho bottom,
yellowish spats, I walked with
Ralph for a day along the Vic
toria Embankment, while he
laughed and held his sides at the
picture of me meeting Gladstone.
I thought as I looked into the
show windows, watching myself
pass, that no one suspected I was
not an Englishman and even this
seemed to tickle Ralph beyond
expression. He evidently saw
something that the window fail
ed to reveal.
I left London for Chester on
their best train, a five hour rido,
on n bleak day. Kalph's Pest
advice was to go to Chester, stop
over night at the Queen's Hotel,
and that evening prepare a let
ter to Mr. Gladstone; "stating,"
hoBaid, "that you had come from
San Erancirco. to see him. That
might break and scent of Die
newspaper section which the
distinguished old statesman
r.night get." I told Ralph that I
co.uld tell him the truth and get
fun'bor away from any suspicion
of tlu1 newspaper section, by tell
ing Mi ' Gladston that I had come
from Sj 'verton, Oregon. Know
ing that lie had never heard of
that places ho might bo interested

times in an advertising respect

by what is perhaps the most
elaborate system of advertising
ever attempted by any business
house in this section, namely: the
giving away of the beautiful Up

now upon exhibition at their
5tore.
This piano retails at 400.00
each, guaranteed for ten years.
The principal points of superiori
ty of tho celebrated Upton piano
over any otner ciass oi instru

unicon with over strung bass, the
splendidly pitched scale and true
sounding board which give the
Upton that rich, deep, even tone
so much admired.
In a recent interview with Mr.
Reed regarding this decided in
novation in advertising, Mr. Reed
stated : ' 'We have been enjoying
the patronage and confidence of
the buyers of this community &r
some time now and by always
trying to keep our stocks com
