A man who claims to be a philan-
thropist up here, asked a friend who

the country once. Charlestown has
lots of money, and this ''free print
ing artist" walks around with I-wish-
I-had-some-money-coal-or-wood air,
and sticks to his business. Moral !:
A man who attends TO his business,

Mems and Young Mems,
Boys and Small Boys, are the
classification into which Cloth
ing falls nowadays. Itmarks
progress. Small Boys Suits
have short trousers-Knicker-
bockers - and Boys, long
trousers. Young Mems Suits
are the smaller sizes of Mems.
These subdivisions give bet
ter chance for proper distinc-
tions. The Young Mems
Clothing is Of the gayer style,
and the Small Boys more fan
cifuI. The clothier is freer to
produce, the buyer has larger
choice.
The special thought of the
day runs to Light Overcoats.
Grandson and Grandfather,
and the generation between,
are provided for. Prices S8.5
to S32.5O. The youngster car
have an Overcoat with Prince
Albert front and strapped
seams, the oldster can have one
