On Wednesday force of eleven assist
ants were employed to wait upon the
crowds that visited our store. When the
public realize the fact that three clerks
constitute the regular force of help dur
ing the dull season, some conception may
be had of the advantage the public are
taking of this GREAT MARK DOWN in
prices, by the additional force employed.
One word in regard to the arguments
of SOME of our competitors, Statements
are made that are calculated to deceive
and mislead our patrons Misrepresenta-

How Watch Cases are Made.

In 1875, thirteen men comprised the
entire working force used in the manu-
facture of the James Boss Gold Watch Case
Now over fue hundred are employed, and the
number is constantly increasing. The rea-
son Of this increase is this: In the James
Boss Gold Watch Case all the metal in sight
and subject to wear is solid gold, while the re-
mainder, which only lends strength to the
case, is of stronger metal than gold,
giving gold where gold is needed, and
strong, elastic metal where strength and
elasticity are needed, a combination pro-
ducing watch case better than solid gold
and at oNE-HALF the cost. ~ v.,.
Over 100000 of these cases < 3
have been sold, and every jeweler in the
country can testify to their quality and
merit. oo

The Girls Thirst for knowledge.

The Massachusetts, Institute of Tech

in the matter, several years opened its
doors to pupils of the fair sex. and has

as one of the professors of that institu-
ton, who distinctly does not favor CO.

car homeward from the entrance exam
ination, he encountered lady who has
been somewhat prominent in the work
which the workers themselves are
pleased to style 1.-The advancement of
women" The Lady greeted the pro-
fessor warmly. and upon his mention
ing the fact that he had given the day
to examinations, she went on to remark
with fervor: 81 am so deeply interested
in the institute for its noble attitude
toward women. It is so advanced to
give the girls that chance which their
brothers have long enjoyed. do hope
there were q large percentage OF girls
among those examined to-day; we

How Webster was INTERRUPTED.

Mr.. Webster used to narrate, with
evident qualification, his recollections
of the laying of the cornerstone of the
Bunker Hill Monument, in June, 1925.
There was a long procession. which had
moved from the State House in Boston,
each division of which had. its allotted
position on the hill around the platform
from which the Grafton was delivered
The most interesting of these divisions
was one composed of Revolutionary
soldiers, headed by General Lafayette,
riding in open barouches. Each had
some time-worn badge-some relic of
the Revolution--which he wore on his
person or displayed from the carriage.
BY one was borne battered color, by
another dilapidated drum; here was
seen a cooked hat with its gilt mount
ings furnished with age; there KNAPP
sack or cartouch-box, moth-eaten and
crumbling to pieces; some were dressed
in their ancient regimentals, and some
clad only in home-spun garments, sim.
liar to those they wore on the day Of
the battle. On their arrival on Bunker
Hill the veterans left their carriages
and were escorted by the marshals to
reserved seats directly in front of the
platform.
As Mr.. Webster proceeded in his ora
ton he addressed these revolutionary
heroes, saying: Venerable menl You
have come down to us from a former
generation. You are now where you
stood fifty years ago this very hour,
with your brethren and your neighbors,
shoulder to shoulder, in the strife for
your country"
"Ye-e-s! ye-e-esr' said one of them. a
hoary-headed old man in his second
childhood, who rose and began to mar
rate his personal "reminiscences. 81 re-
member all about tit was this hour

with his staff to a spot some rods off.
II had paused" said Mr.. Webster,
ION being thus Unexpectedly inter-
rupted, and finding that the old man
was disposed to be garrulous, l sus-
gested that he stop until had told my
story, when he could tell his. But the
old hero had told his tale too often 10
listening ears to have it passed by ther,
and he went on:
II stood right up there, he continued,
''and it was there, right up there, that
Warren fell"
Just them" Mr.. Webster would go
on to say, 1.-THE old soldier fell himself.

How Mrs. O'HarriS Turned.

The other night laboring man
named O'Harris was drinking beer and
PLAYING cards in Grand River avenue
saloon, when somebody asked him what
sort of wife he had.
THE humblest, docilest little woman
in all this world" he replied.
Doesn't she ever say anything about
your spending your evenings away from
home?"
Never word"
"And has she no objections to your
spending half your wages in beer and
cards?'
IF she has she doesn't state EN-"
"But won't she turn on you some
day? You know that even a worm will
turn?''
Faith and she will that I've been
going on in this way for the last four
teen years, and for the last two I've
been looking for climax. A wife suf-
fers about so long and then she turns
on you?"
Not more than five minutes had
passed. and the men were busy with
their cards. when a woman opened the
door and slipped in. She stood for Q
moment to get the range, and then
made q Decline for the laborer. Of
went his hat. the hair flew in showers,
and over went the table with its
glasses and cards. Five or six badly
frightened men rushed out doors in 3
body, the last one helped along by a
push from chair, ano as the laborer
took the middle of the street and gath
cred himself together for some tall
running he cried out with lump in his
throat:
.It's my wife, and she's turned at
last. I'd like to see the worm which
would upset seven men and saloon in
the elegant manner just witnessed in.
