Dare Do.

First-We dare to give
every buyer at Oak Hall the
right of exchange of goods
or the refund of his money.
We protect him from his own
mistakes. We are so GER
tain of the rightness of our
goods that we say to every
buyer, "Ransack the town,
and if you find a better bar
gain, or think you do, come
back, give us our goods and
take your money"
Second-We dare to pile
up a round million dollars of
stock in the belief that the
good people here and here
about will come and buy it.
"Plucky," you say? Well,
yes; but we know the peo-
pie and they know us. They
have done it before and are
coming again.
Third-We dare to spend
a fortune every year in tell
ing our story. We help the
printers and the newspapers,
we pile up a great business,
we sell you clothing cheaper
and better than you can get
it any other way and have
a little margin left at the
end.

WHEN WOULD NOT LIKE TO
DIE.

would not die in spring time,
And miss the turnip greens,
And the pretty song OF the little frogs,
And the sky-larks early screams;
When the birds begin their wOOing,
And potatoes begin to sprout:
When the turkeys go a g0bbliny-
would then peg out.
would not die in summer
And leave the garden sass,
The roasted ham and buttermilk,
The cool place in the grass.
would not die in summer,
When everything's 50 hot,
And leave the whisky luleps-
Oh, no; I'd rather not.
would not die in autumn,
With peaches hit for eating;
When wavy corn Is getting ripe,
And candidates are treating.
For these and other reasons,
I'd not die in the fall;
And since I've thought 1t over,
! would not die at all

The Century for November opens with a
portrait Of Queen Victoria at nineteen, in the
most perfect manner Of wood engraving. An
article on Madame Molieska gives a portrait Of
that lady also finely engraved. Nature in
England is the title Of a beautifully illustrated
article by John Burroughs, the author treating
his subject, as usual, eou amo,t. That exciting
serial story, The Bread Winners, is continued.
1t would be profitable and instructive reading
for the members Of the Mechanics Protective
Union of Honolulu.
The November Harper's is, as usual,
sumptuousy illustrated. That amusingly
absurd serial story, A Castle in Spain, is con
Guided, winding up with nearly everybody
happy and virtue, Of course, triumphant.
There is an interesting and timely article on
the physical training Of young children by
William Blake in this number 1t is sueges-
tive rather than instructive, however. A short
article on the Northern Pacific and other trans.
continental railways contains much valuable
information nowhere else obtainable in so com

graceful verses. The December number will
be Christmas number and many attractive
features are announced for next year.
