THE following clipping from the N.
Y. Post, Of November, 18th, suggests
a few words from us on remark that
appeared in the columns of the Era's
Thanksgiving Number.
BITTER WoRDs.-We have been
long surprised that disputes between
rival Journalists over comparative cir
culation have not ended in bloodshed.
There is no subject, human or divine,
which so thoroughly stirs the journal
istic blood, or so thoroughly rouses the
worst passions of the journalistic ma
ture. Many journalist who will bear
the most loathsome imputations on his
character with calm or indifference,
will be lashed into uncomfortable fury
by rivals insinuation that his circu-
lation is small or decreasing. And
when an angry journalist wishes to say
a peculiarly bitter thing to a hostile
contemporary, something that he will
surely feel like wound, he is apt to
intimate that if the world knew how
small his circulation was they would
be astonished.-New York Evening
Post, Nov. Is.
Now in our particular case the
Evening Post is mistaken, for so far
from being wounded by the "Bitter |
Words" Of the Era, about our STEW
remaining subscribers" we accepted
them as consistent with some other re-
marks we have seen from the same
source, and thought nothing of them
Nor do we now, nor do we desire to be
thought controversial in penning this
article. Apropos of circulation, we
desire to cay that while THE TRANS
CRIPT makes no boast of its own, not
feeling proud on the subject, still we
re glad to say that under our manage
nent we have on our books a larger
lumber of subscribers than when we
eceived the plant from the hands Of
he late proprietols.
We do not desire to speak of this
natter further and shall not, except
n compulsion.

More and more room fol

this time of the year. 81 feet
of counters does very well
for samples, but that's before
the quick steps of the Holiday
buying begins. There is now /:
One long counter tor Silk handkerchiefs
One long counter for Mems Linen Hand
Two long counters for Women's Linen
The Linen is bure Linen.
We've said that time and
again, but you can't hear it too
often. It would be much cas-
ier forus to get cotton and linen
Handkerchief just as most
otherstores do. Itwould bequite
as easy to keep on in the COM
mon rut and call them "Linen."
But we don't do things that
way. Linen is Linen here, just
as everything else in the store
is exactly what we say it is.
The little Handkerchiefs for
boys and girls are just as true
flax as the big ones for bigger
folks. You may have them

or with fancy sewing.
Let one kind-Ladies' En-
broidered White Linen Hand
kerchiefs-show how varieties
run: One Aunayed and ft7y-
sac distinct styles. 35c to S4|
each. Everyone new this sea-
son. We never had anything
approaching them for sorts.
And we've made no count of
the thicket Of Women's White
Linen Handkerchiefs, embroid-
cred or hemstitched, at 25c
and under IA wonderfully good |
one at 12ac }, or of the higher
flight into white, lace edged
goods up to $6 each.
Women's plain White Linen
Handkerchiefs, Ia, n, I, ~,

We believe our Women,s
12ac white unlaundered Initial
Handkerchief the best for the
money ever sold. Dimes do
as much accordingly for you in
grade.
Misses Handkerchiefs, seal
