Two necessary adjuuots in

this is particularly applioa-
BILE because of the trash that
is constantly being placed
before their eyes, while the
cry of Bargains Bargains !
is trumpeted over them.
Would you call a counter
felt half dollar a bargain be-
cause you can buy it for 35
centsP You would laugh at
the man that made you such
an offer; and yet similar
BARGAINS % are daily placed
before the clothing buyer.
A great many people never
look further than the mate

made when they purchase,
and centre nous a GREAT
many clothiers are not OVER
ANXIOUS that you should.
And yet the telling points in
clothing are the workman

for purchasing your cloth
ing for the coming season is
here. A few more warm
days and Jack Frost is with
us. We are ready for your
inspection. The stock of
goods we show might be
called "custom-made, with
the single exception that
they are not made for any
particular person. The va

The stock is right, the prices

Had Capital"

In all sections Of all lands we hnd 3
class of people, mostly young men,
who are good takers, but very poor
workers. They are constantly be-
moaning their lot in life and grieve be-
cause tiley were not born with q silver
spoon in their mouth. They stand on
the street corners Or loaf in the billiard
and uool rooms, and like Micawber,
are constantly waiting for something
70 turn III aHAt'--
10. Uh, II I mad capital ID show
you how to make money. L would in-
vest in this enterprise or that indus
try, and soon it would be bringing me
in handsome returns, and then l would
be living and not dragging out a mere
existence, but this getting along with
out money is what | never could do,
and | never expect TO M how.
Such is the soiiloquy OF many young
men who reside not q thousand miles
from Portsmouth,
To all such, should they peruse these
lines, we would say, You are the
architect of your own fortune" and
YOU are and can be just what you
want to be. and what you are willing
to work and attain unto. Money Is
not all the capital that is necessary as
q stepping stone to success. Any
oun man who has his bodily and
mental health, aud a mind OF at least
some culture, has capital that many =
moneYed man never possessed, and II
he will only utilize this God-given cap
ital with vim, force and push, he will
thereby be enabled, under ordinary
circumstances. to lay up for himself
some of that other kind OF capita!
which is so essential for ones happi-
ness and comfort in everyday life,
What your young men of to-day need
is not so much money Is it is the pust
and energy to ea-u it. Then when /
comes in the reward of their own Ia
bors, theE will appreciate its value
more and know how to save 1t, an,
by assiduous toll perhaps some da.
they may have the capital. the 4 o
which they so much bemoan ut tn
present day.
Then young man, go TO work, ceaS
luafing on the street and II
public saloons, and use the God-giyeI
capital you have at your command
and this may be 4 means to 4 desira
bic end. At any rate don't foreve

ing in value for the want OF proper e1

found out that there Is more goiu hn
wool than in all their varied mlnerat
products. And the most astonishing
