A study of this ground plan, incom.
.pletc as it is, will give you better idea
CT ihc store and of what is in it. than de-
scricton can do. The store covers m
acres; basement is under, and galleries
are over, a part. The whole affords
somewhere about s acres of room.
This particular business is years old;
it began in 1876 with clothing; in 1877
il became general store with such goods
as you see in the plan, with carpets up
holstery, furniture, and kitchen-furnishlng
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 Aourished
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 sOhat y0u a0u"t! 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 othe
charge is too much, you bundle it back
to us.
We tell of these things in the news
papers, because there are thousands of
you who don't know what we are
doing; thousands of you don't know the
character of the stock that fills these S
acres; thousands of you who, therefore,
buy where you pay more money.
We are every merchants fair and
open competitor. We do not expect to
gather millions of trade from all over
the country without meeting opposition
and misrepresentation. Some will be-
lieve whatever is said against us. The
only answer we make is: Send back
whatever you don't want at the price.
We want your trade. You want our
goods; or would want them, if you
knew No matter how far away you
may be; you will do we'll to send to
us for SOME things. We ask you to
write to us about something you have
present occasion for.
When we get in communication with
you, we shall have one means of winning
your trade, viz, by pleasing you. When
we have won it, we shall have one means
of keeping it, viz, by dealing with you
as we deal with everybody: giving you
large return for your money, and sup
plying your wants so intelligently that
you will write us for what you want as
naturally as you say "good morning"
to your next-door neighbor. .

A BENEVOLENT JUDGE.

There is q venerable and benevo-

his Assessors on each side of him,

tiicted.
What ought we to give this ras-
cal, brother?" he says, bending over
to the Assessor on the right.
Il should say three years"
"What is your opinion, brother?"
to the Assessor ON the left.
Il should give him about four
years"

A WOMAN SUFFPACIST ON
THE COMSTOCK LODE.

ONCE lO-udl uUu uellltllueu Vi one
Of the reporters if Virginia City Of
fered a good field for series of a
dozen lectures on Woman Suffrage.
II don't think the Comstockers
have thought much about female
suffrage" replied the reporter,
frankly.
"Don't say female" replied the
tall lady. sharply.
"Why not?" asked the reporter,
in innocent surprise.
Because, sir, term that is used
to describe sex in animals should
not be applied to women"
The reporter admitted, in great
humiliation, that the point was well
taken, and looked up in some alarm
ut the severe countenance of the
lady, who was head taller than
himself, and manifestly able to
thrash him in the interests of pro-
gress, if SO disposed. The stern
countenance softened somewhat, ut
these signs of confessed inferioritv,
however, and the lady continued:
'"The cause Of Woman is the
cause of Humanity. The cause of
Humanity embraces all Progress.
Why, then, should the people of
Virginia City be Indifferent to
Woman"
"They are not" cried the small
reporter, hastily. Ear from it.
Woman is the boss la this camp.
Everything she wants she gets, and
not one in a hundred has to do a
lick of work"
Mere toys" said the tall lady,
with deep scorn. "Playthings for
an idle hour. You would cover
woman with silks and gauds, and
sink her soul into insignificance by
circumscribing her sphere and al
lowing her no mission in life"
well" admitted the small re-
porter, "that's about the way we
look at it here, that's fact. Women
haven't got the nerve to rustic for
themselves like men"
"N-e-r-v-e!"
She uttered this word in a terrific
tone--so terrific that the small re-
porter half arose from his chair.
Nerve! What is there requiring
nerve that you do that / am incapa-

she demanded, scorning the apol-
ogy. cam / not gifted with as
great brainp Why do you de spise
my sex? We can bear more pain,
and are therefore your superiors in !
courage.
The small reporter was gazing
tixedly at a dark corner of the |
room, and made no answer.
"Nerce, indeed !" continued the
tall lady. "Why. women have IN |
tinitely more nerve than men. Only
yesterday | saw woman"
That's the biggest mt I ever
saw i'll the office, said the small re-
porter, staring inteutly at the dark
corner.

ted this life, after a short illness.
The deceased was born at Ottawa,
Canada. and at the time of his death
was. about forty years Of age. Some
weeks ago he was taken sick with
inflammation of the bowels, and
some ten days ago had SO far recov-
cred that he was able to be on the
streets, but a week ago last Monday
he grew worse, and soon took his
bed never to leave it alive. The
deceased came to this country sew
enteen years ago, and soon thereaf-
ter located in this county. He was
successful in amassing considerable
property, all of which was left to his
wife, by a will executed a few hours
before his death. In life, Mr.. La
Belle vas public spirited, and noted
for his generosity to the poor and
needy. In matters of public i'm.
provement he gave literally. He

a citizen and neighbor. On Monday

friends followed his remains to the
