A Menn nsnorter.

Several years ago, when W. X. Sullivan.
now managing editor Of The Journal, was a
reporter on The Tribune, he was sent up 10
Evanston TO do the college commencement
exercises. When he had written up the after
noon session he took it to the telegraph Office
and incidentally remarked 10 the operator
that he would have SOME more stuff 10 send
In the evening about $3.50 or 10 o'clock. The
operator informed Mr.. Sullivan that the Of
flee would be closed at that time and he could
not send any message. Mr.. Sullivan said that
what he desired to send would be important
matter for his paper, and asked the dignified
young man why he could not be there TO re-
ceive it. The reply was that he was going to
ball with his girl that night and he did not
propose TO give it up for the paper. the col.
lege or for anything else. Mr.. Sullivan en-
deayored TO argue the point with him, but the
young fellow would listen to nothing.
Finally Mr.. Sullivan asked in a mock hum
bleness IL he could send a message then. and
as permission was granted he took blank
and wrote. "Anson Stager, Western Union
telegraph office, Chicago: A reporter for The
Tribune will have about a column Of import-
mt matter to send 70 his paper this evening
about half past Q or 10 o'clock; your operator
here says he cannot possibly be here at that
time TO receive II as he is going 70 a ball with
his girl. Win you please send special man
up here to take the messagefi To this he
signed his name and handed it in. As the
young man read it he turred all sorts Of
colors and, seeing that he was beaten, laid it
down and said sadly, II win be here.p Re
porters do not enjoy being hard hearted, but
the exigencies Of this case in the first place
and the lofty air of this young man called
out all the aintiness in Mr.. Sullivans nature

lEr LOlg Dress Goods Counters

are full Of life and activity these
December days. How could it be
otherwise with Winter just before
us, and such a superb stock Of
Winter Dress Goods displayed in
apparently endless profusion on a
thousand feet Of counters?
The question is sometimes asked;
Why carry SO large a stock,
representing almost everything that
is produced abroad or at home?
Would not a smaller line equally
satisfy the demand, taking less room
and leaving space for other lines Of
goods? Our answer is: Dress
Goods with us are the great speciality
Of the business, and we prefer to
have not alone a sufficient, but an
overhowing stock, not being content
simply to meet the demand but lead
ing it always, and giving our patrons
the choice of the worlds products.
Devoting ourselves not to general
merchandise, but to the great Dry
Goods business exclusively, we prefer
in that special business to lead the
country, deyoting our whole time
and attention, with all the facilities
of our great organization, to the
service Of our patrons in this line.
And with every year added as the
business grows greater and has be-
come Of national repute, with orders
coming to us from every State and
Territory Of the Union-notably
from New York, Boston and other
centres of commerce-we feel in
creasingly satisfied to continue and
still further perfect the service to
the great public, in the special but
comprehensive lines which belongs
to the business Of a well-ordered dry
goods house.
