GUIDE TO GOOD CLOTHING j

When you want TO go TO some place and
don't know the shortest and surest way to
get there, you are glad to be directed, are
you not You are going somewhere to
buy clothing. You want to go TO the best
place and the safest place. And that means
the place where the good tres tmenf Is not
confined to pleasant words and smooth
talk, but where it is put into the goods and
prices. Where shall you 20 TO lind that
place? That is an important question for
you. 1t touches your comfort as we'll MS
your purse. When you can answer that
query in manner satisfactory to YOUR
self, you have got through with half the
business of buying and the worst half OF
il. Let US lay before you some informa-
ton and leave YOU to answer the ques-
tion. Where can best clothe at the least
expense?
or course you want style. Every man
does. Now, some people have the notion,
obtained by trading at second rate places,
that style is expensive. But il isn't. Not
at our store at least. Style has nothing to
do with price. Every garment we put out
carries style with it. Style goes into our
working clothes, just as well as into our
dress and business clothes. And 1t does
not cost any more to put it in. The skill
ed workman does his work skilifully. He
can't do better. Skilled workmanship goes
into every garment we sell. Skill shapes
the clothes and skill makes them.
That is why they look well, hang we'll and
keep this shape, are satisfaction to the
eye as well as the body Tested by sryLR
our clothing takes the highest place. For
no clothing is superior to ours in this re
spect.

BURNED TO DEATH.
THE SAD FATE OF L. D. GAvITT
AT LANCASTER.
His Half Consumed Remains Found in
the Ruins of His House-The Associ-
ated Press Dispatch.

Word reached this city early yester-
day morning that l.. d. Gavitt had been
burned to death at his home near Lam
caster in the Antelope valley. All sorts
of startling stories were in circulation
in regard to the calamity, one being
that two men were destroyed in the
flames, and that tramp had fred the
building, and that pistol shot had
been heard Just before the fire broke out.
The following dispatch, received at
less the only reliable information thus
far received:
LANCASTER, CAL, June 29.-L. d.
Gavitt, constable of Antelope township,
was burned to death ON his ranch, nine
miles northwest of here, at this
morning. Gavitt has been confined to
his bed during the past week, and had
sent his son-in-law to Los Angeles on
the 3 37 train this morning to make
arrangements for his being taken care of
in the city. Judging foom the position
OF the body, the constable in try
ing to escape through the win
dow must have been overcome from
weakness and suf'ocation and fell back
in the seething mass OF timbers. Moth
ing but few charred remains of the
trunk of the unfortunate man was lett.
His arms, legs, upper portion OF the
skull were wholly destroyed. Coroner
Weldon, of Los Angeles, was at once
telegraphed for and came up on the
afternoon train. Cause of the fire un-
known, nobody being present when it
occurred.
The deceased was we'll known in
Southern California, having resided in
this county for about twenty years. He
was native of Rhode Island, and came
to California in 1850. He leaves four
daughters, Mrs. Paris, Mrs. F. T. How
land, Mrs. M. A. Thompson and Miss
Alice Gavitt, to mourn his loss.
The deceased was a member of Olive
lodge, K. OF p, and was highly es-
teemed. Mr.. Paris, the son-in-law
mentioned in the above dispatch, ar
rived here yesterday afternoon. The
probability is that the lamp exploded
half an hour after Mr.. Paris had left
the house.

Winter DairyinU,

The advantages of winter dairying over summer are many. A COW will give more milk and butter in the year, to be fresh in October, than she will to come in in April or May, and she is do- ing her best at a season of the year when her product is worth most, when hired help is cheapest and you have more time to devote to her welfare. It is a well known fact that milk IS richer in butter fat during the winter months than at any other time in the year. My cows, that were making one pound of butter to every twcnty-four pounds of milk in May and June. are now producing the pound rom nineteen pounds of milk.
 Better calves can be raised in winter than during the summer months. and when they go Cn grass in May you have The skinned milk for the pigs that should be carried in connection with the dairy; but it would be folly, in my judg- ment, to undertake winter dairying without warm COW stables, warm water, proper and liberal feeding and the best ot care. Cows like Q variety, and will do better than when fed continually on the same Western Farmer.

ETHICS OF MONEY LENDING.
An Interesting Computation Based on q
 London Custom.

An Interesting Computation Based on a
 London Custom.
 In London it is Q custom of class of small capitalists to lend such small capi. tai as will enable destitute coster- monger to pursue his trade for the day say 2s. sterling, or 50 cents, at an inter- est of 10 per cent. day. If we suppose the costermongers at an average borrow q, and by it's use average profit of 90 cents, out of which they pay 10 cents for interest, leaving them 40 cents per day on which to live, while it may be 6 very sad state of facts that London should have any costermongers so poor as to be obliged to borrow at this high rate of interest, yet in view of the fact that the loan enables them to make a profit or wage several times greater than the interest they pay, and to live instead of starving, is this loan to be regarded as a calamity to the borrower or as boon? If boon, then the lender is certainly a benefactor.
 If, moreover, the number of coster- mongers in London needing such loans were so great that one farthing could be loaned in this manner at compound in- terest for year, the sum would have grown in that period wide Marshall's "Principles of Economies" vol. i, p. 62D to billion pounds sterling in one year. This would be fortune equal to the aggregate fortunes of the twenty richest men on earth. Yet at what point in the continuous lending of this sum to costermongers, at a rate of interest only one-fourth as great as the net profits of borrowing, would any ethical injustice arise? Certainly the greater the number of costermongers it would save from daily starvation the greater would be the humanity or divinity of the work. And yet the earnings of the capitalist who began the year with farthing would give him fortune at the years end of $5, ,000, ,000,0 And every dollar of it would represent ten costermongers rescued from want for day, and en- abled to earn forty cents each.

Give Her a Monument.

A good hen of mine--a Brahma of the Autocrat strain-died Dec. 19, 1890, aged l3 years, 8 months. She was not like other hens of her breed. Generally they want to sit little too often, but this Biddy was in her 14th year before she proposed to do such thing. When she did l wanted to please her by placing few eggs under her, but my wife thought it would be best not, as she was too old. Up to her ninth year she never laid less than 290 eggs each year. Since then she has given much smaller number; but in her l4th year between June and Oc- tober she dropped an egg now and then. Her total egg record is little over 2,2O0. She was nearly blind and little deaf before death.-T. H. Goodrich, Canada.
 We would add that every egg of such hen should have been matched. It is by careful breeding from the best only that the best stock is obtained. If poul. trymen would take half the pains to breed for eggs that the fanciers do to peculiar feather markings, we would get better results, In this case we have hen of wonderful longevity and egg pro- ducing qualities with the non- breeding habit so much sought for strongly de- veloped-the three qualities that make valuable hen. A trio of such Brahmas that would leave such characteristics to their offspring would be worth their weight in gold.
