No Whining.-"Trade has been quiet this
season." This Is the mournful cry heard on
every hand. We are glad 10 say that We are
not candidates for public sympathy. On the
contrary, We congratulate ourselves that de-
spite general depression in business our sales
have been entirely satisfactory. Here are the
reasons:
I've buy our goods for cash. FOR cash"
means lowest price and q liberal discount.
1--WE make n moderate and reasonable
profit on what we sell Except on some lines
where the profit is so modest that IL Is out Of
our sight.
3-We aim TO tell the simple truth about our
goods. Overpraise may make one sale, but
how about the next? We want 10 keep our
customers.
1--WE watch the market closely and keep
on hand the freshest and newest styles.
5-We have one price for all. Your little
child can buy as cheaply as You can.
1--WE do not expect you TO buy every time
you look. We want you TO examine what We
have. We are always glad to see you.
These are our cardinal principles. They will
tell in the long run. They have been very
advantageous 10 our businesses. Do you like
them? II you do come and look at our line
OF dress goods, carpets, &c.

Husbands have interfered to prevent the for

have been modelled after the aristocratic but
altogether worldly Union Club The proposition
was such an extremely novel one that it at
tracted attention at once. and. as the names of
several society ladies were publicly mentioned
in connection with it, the gossips had more to
talk about than usual. The husbands of the
ladies whose names were connected with it
found it was more than they could endure, and
they were obliged to put their collective feet
down on it. Had the scheme been carried out
some of the ladies of New York would have ac-
quired as much notoriety as the horse racing,
brandy drinking, profanity using Duchesses of

These are not merely occasional bursts but
occur regularly every day ia the year. ! do not
deny the ability Of the trains in America to make

American railway trains can and do run at the

but there is no train in the world equal in speed
