Our stock is, without excep-
ton, the finest; approved by
the admiration of buyers, and
entirely to our liking. The
reasons for preference of
ready-made are on the sur
face:
/. The Overcoat is seen
made up. There Is no guess
work about how it will look.
Examined in the roll, without
being able to know how it will
trim, goods may strike the
fancy that, when made up,
prove disappointing: This is
avoided when seen and
bought in ready-made.
2. The Overcoat ought to fit
over the clothing ordinarily
worn--this is readily accom-
plished when tried on ready
made. Throughout our whole
stock of Spring Overcoats,
from The finest to the least
expensive, every essential of
elegance in appearance and
excellence in service is
thought of and thought out
carefully and particularly,
and unusual shapes are
looked after as diligently as
diamond "finds." In stores,
here and there, fine Over
coats--a few--may be kept.
Nowhere else does fineness
begin so far down in price, or
the price go up to as high
quality of material as here.

he shall do. The papal letter condemns
the plan of campaign organized by the
home rule leaders. AS an abstract
proposition the pope is right in aftixing
the seal of the church in condemnation
of boycotting and the other agencies
that the Irish people have been COM
PEELED to employ in their unequal fight
against English landlordism. But it
must also be remembered that the case
of Ireland is an exceptional one, to
which abstract principles have no ap
plication. If tits Fight to fight the
deysl with fire, then Ireland is justified
in resorting to all expedient, embraced
in the "plan Of campaign" in the effort
to relieve itself Of British misrule. II
boycotting is cruel piece of machinery,
so is the system Of English landlordism
that is practiced in Ireland. If by re-
sorting to the cruel boycott the Irish
people can relieve themselves of the
still more cruel system Of landlordism,
