I Now for Spring
For monthbs we bave been planning the coming spring campaign.
New goods are already arriving at frequent intervals while many more
are on the way.
In order that no new or otherwise desirable items might be over
looked, our buyers are now scouring the eeastern markets, and seeing tu it
that we own our merchandise at the lowest possible landed costs. In spite
of advancing markets we will be able to otter our customers most items
for as little and in some cases less than heretofore-
More stress than ever before will be laid on quality, ever keeping in
mind the faot that "The sweetness of low prices never equals the bitter
ness of poor quality. " The best is being culled from all lines for all
tastes and all purses.
All over this great store, even in our exchange department on the third
floor, our customers are proteoted against possible costly errors by onr
"Satisfaction or your money back" guarantee. With us this means re
fnnd promptly and cheerfully without quibbling or protest. Unless onr
friends are pleased we are not.
Wherever possible out service is to be improved to the end that we may
merit in still greater volume the favors of our old friends and secure the
confidence and ptaronagejof the ever increasing number of new citizens
in onr midst." :
No effort is to te spared to make shopping here convenient, pleasao
and profitable whether in person, by proxy or by mail.

. A RESTRAINING HAND.
Its Action Followed by a Voice That
Warned.
"Patrick 'n. McCarren once told me
of a funny Incident that happened In
Home," said a Brooklyn lawyer. "Mc
Carren said that on his first yisit to
Rome, after he had seen the Coliseum
and the Forum, he visited the Ara
Coell church, on the left of the Capl
toline bill. He climbed the grand
stairway leading to the church, the
finest open air stairway in the world.
Ho pushed back the heavy leather cur
tain, and, entering, he found a service
in progress. So he put his hat on the
marble floor at his side and took a
scat
"After ten minutes or so he decided
he would go and reached down for his
hat But a restraining hand was laid
on his, and he desisted. He knew, of
course, that some churches don't like
people to leave in the midst of a serv
ice. "Ten or fifteen mlnuf.es more passed.
The service still continued. Senator
McCarren got Impatient and again
reached for his hut But again the un
seen hand restrained elm from the
rear.
"A little later, however, the senator
quite lost patience. This was. he told
himself, an important service, of
course. Nevertheless he did not pro
pose to miss his luncheon, and It would
harm no one If he slipped out quietly.
"So a third time he reached for his
hnt and the Invisible hand a third
time detained him. He persevered,
however. The -silent Laud pushed, and
his silent hand pushed against it. But
just as he was onquer in? in the strug
gle a voice said in good American
"'Cheese it boss; that's my
you're taking. J". -Exchange.
