We tell of these things in the news

buy where you pay more money.
We are every merchants fair and

only answer we make is: Send back

We want your trade. You want our

When we get in communication with

we have won it, we shall have one means
of keeping it, viz, by dealing with you

THE STORE AND THE TRADE.

A study Of this ground plan incom-
plete as it is, will give you better idea
of the store, and of what is in it, than de-
scription can do. The store covers ri
acres; basement is under, and galleries
are over, a part. The whole affords
somewhere about 5 acres of room.
This particular business is a years old;
it began in 1876 with clothing; in 1877
it became general store with such goods
as you see in the plan, with carpets, up
holstery, furniture, and kitchen furnishing
upstairs. Since that time gallery after
gallery has been added; and there is
not an inch of room to spare anywhere
To the surprise of many, it has fourished
while trade was languishing almost
everywhere else.
To us there is no mystery about it
nothing surprising even unless it be
surprising that SO conspicuous business
should ever be misunderstood. We do
nothing more than simply to provide
facilities for your getting what you want.
We don't mean to say that other
facilities are not provided for distributing
goods; but that's a different thing
We provide so that you get what you
want, exactly aohat you 70autl In the
first place we've got it. In the second
place we send it. And if we send you
the wrong thing, or if you think the
charge is too much, you bundle it back

Broken Caths.

\ curious fact in psychology is the
facility with which men take oaths that
they have not the remotest intention of
keeping, and which nobody dreams of
expecting them to observe. Not long
ago Oxford students at their matricula-
ton had to swear to conform to the stat
utes of the university. Among them was
one which absolutely prohibited 1.-THE
use of the herb nicotiana or tobacco;
while another enioined on under-gradu-
ates that they should be always appar-
cled i'm garments of Il dark or sub
fuse" hue. In the solemn oath, which
is administered to Knights of the Garter,
they are reminded that this garter is
"never to be forgotten or laid aside. :
Even the original Knights, to whom the
institution was something more serious
than we regard it nowadays, must each
and all of them have repeatedly broken
the vow. There are, however, some re-
markabe instances of sensitiveness OH
the subject of obligations Which the gen.
erality of honorable men regard as of no
force whatever All Souls College. at
Oxford. was founded by Archbishop Chi
chele that the fellows of the same light
pray for the repose of the souls of those
who fell at Agincourt; and not long since
there was a fellow who regularly paid
for certain masses at the little Catholic
chapel A Protestant himself he could
not comply with the letter of the obliga-
tons imposed on him; but he fulfilled its
spirit. James H.. by the way, when
passing through Oxford, reproached the
fellows for their neglect of this duty.
How much significance do statesmen of
the school of "blood and iron attach to
the first sentence of every treaty between
Christian princes In the name of the
the Most Holy and Indivisible Trinity"
1t is to be feared that treaties are not the
less denounced for those words. Louis
