ONE SPECIAL FACT

We wish to call the attention
of the public to is: Independent
of our large wholesale business,
we are the largest retail house
west of Chicago; we are thus en-
abled to purchase and handle at a
single transaction immense guam
titles of merchandise direct from
the manufacturers, both in this
country and Europe, oftentimes
at a fearless loss to them. We
have a resident buyer in New
York who visits European mar
kets twice a year, with full power
from us to close out any desira-
BILE lots of goods suited to our
trade. The advantage we thus
hold to constantly place before
the public the most unaccounta-
BILE bargains in all classes of Dry
Il hoods is very clear.

Timely Suggestions
AND
RULES OF THE SALE,

As the rush for these goods
will be entirely without prece-
dent, we would consider it a per-
sonal favor if all who can make
it convenient to do so, will come
between 8 and 10 o'clock a. H.,
so to divide, as far as possible, the
business through the day. This
suggestion is of the utmost i'm
portance. Please heed it, all who
can.
We have engaged a large extra
force of statesmen and have made
every provision human fore
thought can suggest, but ask, in
advance, public indulgence for
any annoyances that may arise.
W. have instituted and carried
through successfully a great many
large and important sales, but
have never attempted anything
OF gigantic proportions, or n
which is fraught with so many
benefits to the public.
The following are a few rules
which we found necessary to
adopt during tho sale, and we
think it best to mention them as
thew are directly contrary to our
usual custom.
Remember, however, that they
will only hold during the sale,
and are only adopted in the in
t~erests of the public to facilitate
business.
First-Be careful in making
your purchases as no exchanges
will be allowed.
Second-No allowance will be
made on any kind of goods. No
Samples will be cut over the
counter, we should, of course be
most happy to send them by mail
when requested, but to secure
goods our patrous at a distance
ought to have some resident in
Omaha to make a selection or rely
ON us to do so.
As our shipping department
will be tried to its utmost capa-
city, and although we shall make
every effort to deliver on time. we
would respectfully request that
customers will take small parcels
themselves

Advice to a Young Farmer.

A young man just married and with
small means wants to know how to start
right in farming. This is imposing
upon us rather a serious task. We OF
course know nothing of his habits OF
industry, his love of labor or his quali
fcations for the business he seeks.
Above all we do not know what kind
of wife he has selected, and very, very
much depends upon this, for if he has
chosen unwisely he has made an almost
irreparable misstep. We will, howev-
err, lay down some general principles
which may do others, if not him, some
good:
First-Buy none but the best land.
Ten acres of the best is better than
whole section of poor land.
Second Keep it clear of weeds.
Third do nothing slipshod. Plow
well and cultivate thoroughly.
Fourth-Do everything in the right
season.
Fifth-Procure good implements and
take good care of them.
Sixth Raise none but good animals.
Seventh strict account of in
come and expenses.
Eighth out of debt and clear of
security notes.
Ninth Rise early and quit work early
in the evening, so that you may have
the chores done before the shades of
night.
Tenth Have nothing to do with tray
cling agents and strolling fiddlers. Deal
with those who have local habitation
and name.
Eleventh peaceably with your
wife. If you can not, coax her to go TO
Kamschatka and you GO to Australia
until you ventilate your affections.
Twelfth Live at peace with all your
neighbors, even if you have to make
the concessions and submit to all the
wrong.
Thirteenth Take good papers and
keep yourself posted as to markets,
news, literature and politics.
Fourteenth Study to know your
whole duty to yourself, your family,
your country and your God.
Follow these things and they will
naturally lead you into all the duties Of
a good farmer, a good citizen and a
prosperous and happy man. San Fran
cisco Chronicle.

History Of Fishing.

Fishing was far earlier mode of
supporting human life than agriculture.
However far back in the stream of ter
restrial events we may suppose it al
lowable to date mans appearance on
the scene, still he must have been pre-
coded by fish. The rivers, lakes and
seas, when he first looked upon them,
must have been peopled very much as
they are at this day. There was as
great a variety of species, and probably
much the same infinitude of individuals
in some of those species. And as a
savage population. must be always
sparse, and in any locality few in num-
Der, their supply of food from this
source could only have been limited by
their inability to capture. it. What the
wild game of the forest and of the open
plains were to the inland hunting.
tribes, the fish of the fresh and
of the salt water were to the 'riverine
and the maritime tribes. Between
these early days and the first be-
ginn;Dgs of agriculture vast periods of
time must have elapsed. First, be-
cause In these, and more or less in all
plant that in its unimproved state was
worth cultivating. The suitable form
had to be evolved or created by long
processes of observation and selection.
This Is why we know nothing Of the
parentage of wheat, barley, oats, rye,
beans or maize, and why the tropical
bread-fruit, plantain, banana and sugar
cane nave lost the power of producing
seed, and so of reproducing themselves;
this must have been result of long ages
of human selection. Nothing of the kind
had to be done for fish. There it was as
fit for human food on the first day that
man stood on the river-bank or the sea
shore as it is at this day. Agriculture
also required implements to clear and
stir the ground, and to gather in the
crops, and these implements we know
We're the result of a long series of dis
coveries, improvements and advances.
Primeval man, therefore, as we now
read his history, could not have lived
by or known anything of agriculture
Nor could he have lived by wild fruits,
for they are not continuous throughout
the year. They have their season, and
that brief one. He must then have
lived by hunting and fishing, and of the.
two fishing would be the most continu-
Gus and unfailing throughout the chang
ing seasons, the most valuable Of all
qualities for those ill-supplied times. It
would not be more difficult to hook, and
spear, and net, and trap fish, and to
gather mollusks from the rocks and
sand-banks. than to trap or pierce with
arrows wild game Our immediate
comparison, however, is with agricult-
ure, and we may be sure that not in il
were the foundations of society laid, but
in hunting and fishing, and that of these
two, as the great carniyors at first had
possession of the forest and plain against
intruding man, fishing was the primeval
occupation and means OF subsistence.

How the Matter Was Settled.

One summer day, as Mamie was
strolling bare-headed under the trees in
Aunt AIMS yard, she saw lying on the
grasssa copy-book with battered and
rather old-looking cover, but the pages
inside were clean and unused.
Mamie took it up, turned the leaves,
and thought what pretty things she
could mark with her colored pencils be-
tween the lines, if it were only hers.
'sOh, do wish this was ninetn she
said to herself, and then looking up she
saw Cousin Ted sitting at the chamber
window.
is this your book, Ted? viii you
give it to me?" she asked, eagerly.
He glanced down, recognized the book
as a cast-off property of his, and an
sWered, carelessly:
g Yes, you may have ii.
Mamie was delighted. She showed
it to grandpa, to Aunt Ann and to mann
ma, and told what beautiful things she
meant to mark in it. Then she ran of
to show it to Johnny.
But now in about a moment there
was . great commotion, loud cries and
