writers of personal history. 1t is not
too much to say that he is better pre-
pared for the work in hand than any
other American author. Accredited
by our goveruemnt in his tour and re-
sidence in Russia and Siberia, his great
work on Nihlsh and Exile Life in ST.
IBERIA gave him standing in the high
est literary and ofc,ol circles in this
country as writer at once conscientl-
GUS, forcible and picturesque. This has
given him unsurpassed facilities for
procuring all the material for the work
now in hand. As a book of fascinating
interest, beauty and profuseness of il
lustration, and of comprehensiveness of
tact, it will commend itself to every
u0tcr.
To the book agent this rare combin-
alton of authentic history, pictorial Il
lustration and brilliant authorship,
will at once suggest the universal de-
mand it will create, and also the adj
vantages in interest it has over the or
binary Campaign book, and the grand
opportunity it offers for profitable aGen-
cy. We advertise in another column.

Ope. Even nss till Christ
mas
Saturday was perhaps, the
most trying da, OF the Christ
mas s. as n, The end of q
heavy we, k. We delivered
during the week sixty-eight
thousand nine hundred and
sixty-6ve packages OF goods /;
a. d You know what pains
we take to enable buyers to
get their goods together, to
make one package instead
OF a dozen besides, every
body is supposed TO take
small packages now
Never since the store be-
gan has such a weeks work
been done; never such hand
ling OF goods; never SO many
people; and, it sffords us
qualification to say it, never
in the crowded days OF the
store has there been so am
lie room, 50 adequate SER
vice, so general satisfaction,
so little friction, shortcom-
ing and failure.
The complicated machin-
cry by which the building is
kept in tolerably comfort
able condition with air and
warmth and cleanliness, the
goods prest rived and har died
looked at, sold, wrapped, de
l,vered, the entries made,
money received and change
given back or the credit con-
sidered and charges made,
the whole store watched in
the public interest as well as
our own, to say nothing o.
the trihing accommodations
the public are taught to ex
pect OF us-the complica-
ted machinery by which this
varied work is done, at night
when it can't be done by
day, has worked so smooth
ly that we find more cause
for sat siaction than regret.
The effect on the stock, or
rather the want OF effect, al
most exceeds our own belief
The st OK has been larger !;
apparently never so even, so
mucl OF what is wanted, so
little not wanted. The more
than hundred thousand pack
ages o las week seem to
have bro ken nobody's ex-
pectatlons. Another hun
dled thousand this week may
have more effect. AT present
nobody fails t. find his want
supplied. OF co,rse some
T. RS OF goods are slow. You
h"y'n't noticed it :! Because,
as soon as "a counter is dull
it is filled with books, or
cards, or gloves, or fanc kerr
chiefs, o. other stock that
seems TO be bent on over
flowing its boundaries.
The widening and clear
ing OF aisles have had their
justification. The impress
sion has gone abroad that
fewer people ar here. That
means that they are comfort
able. The BUYERS are more
than before We know by
the sales Goods are lower.
Peop,e are buying more sp r
ingly more closely less Tree
ly, less luxuriously. 1t takes
at least five buyers to four OF
last ear, when the money is
counted The five are here;
and they are comior able.
