The store at first was too large but the bust
ness grew and grew until the building was
entirely too small then came a large addition
which was built in the rear, nearly doubling
the original capacity; surely" thought we,
''the space now is sufficient to answer all
requirements for years to come" but we were
mistaken just year ago the large addition
was completed, and in less than half year
thereafter the store was again too small
No more room for additions here; be-
sides, the building is untitled for SO large
business; SO we began looking for new
location the result you all know; few days
hence we'll welcome you to the most COM
modious retail store in the Northwest.
We hope to see you all here to-day,
whether you wish to buy or not we would
like for you to give the old Store a hearty
farewell; then We hope to see you all at the
Grand Opening Of our New Store; watch the

Two Ways.
Farmers Advocate:


In one and the same community.
in Vermont, within period of little
over year, an agent, citizen of
that town, has received from his
neighbors, in sums varying from a
few hundreds to many thousands
each, the handsome amount of $780,
600, which he extracted by glowing
promises of large interest and divi-
dends, and sent it to a company of
sharpers in Kansas City.
The bubble of company has burst
and every cent of hard earned cash is
gone beyond a hope of return-prin-
cipal, interest, dividends and air cas-
ties all vanished in day.
In that same community a year
ago few members of the farmers
league started cooperative store for
mutual benefit. They put a few
thousand dollars in goods, into rent
ed store, and began to buy farm pro-
ducts and sell groceries on a small
per cent profit, and at the end of the
year they paid stock holders six per
cent interest on all capital, had a few
thousand dollars clear profit over all
expenses and interest with which to
enlarge business in future. Who
were the wise and who the foolish
citizens =? Why are Vermonters Door?

Gen. Grants Tomb Removed.

New York, Oct. 30.-Before to-
morrow's dawn the tomb of General
Grant will have been moved to its f.
nal resting place, and one of the most
remarkable feats of engineering will
have been accomplished. The per-
manent site for the tomb in the great
nausoleum in Riverside park is ten
feet higher than its original site, and
1t is 70 feet north and 9 feet west of
its original position.
The work of removing began Oct.
l. The tomb is an arch of solid red
brick on a foundation of solid con-
rete IA inches thick, and the structure
weighs more than 100 tons. The
work has progressed night and day.
The tomb was finally, by the opera
ton of hydralic pumps and giant jack
screws, hoisted, foundation and all,
ID feet in the air. 1t has been slid
laterly on three huge beams, creased
and slippery, distance of nine feet.
Today the tomb, Is feet in the air
and resting on frame work of i'm
mense cross timbers, is slowly inch by
inch travelling the space that seper-
ates the old and the new site, the
work being accomplished by side pres
sure on the jackscrews.
1t is the intention to contine this
work until the arch has reached a
point directly over its new site, which
Will be late tonight or early tomorrow
morning. Then, when it is all ready,
the timbers will be removed and the
tomb be lowered to its last resting
place. The laying of the foundation
Tor the great mausoleum has been
progressing with as much rapidity as
100 men, working in day and night
gangs, could make it.
The four pieces of concrete are
composed of Is feet of Rosendale ce-
ment, the same as was used in the
Brooklyn bridge, and five feet of
Portland cement. Seventeen hun
dred yards have been laid within
eight days. The piers are 20 feet be-
low the grade and 100 feet above the |
level Of the Hudson river.

through which 100 northern soldiers
made their escape. OF these Foster and
fifty-sevcn others reached the Federal
lines. The captain was kept busy for
eight days and nine nights lodging his

was nearly exhausted from hunger and

On recuperating he returned to the

acted as lecturer at Libby prison, which,
it will be remembered, was taken down

"cROCkeR'S FOLlY.p

A High Fence Built by a Millionaire to
Spite nm Obnoxious Neighbor.
The $50, 900 wall around the Hopkins
castle at Great Darlington, Mass, is
not new idea, About fifteen years
ago Charles Crocker, one of the 'big
four" Central Pacific railroad mag,
mates, made n similar Improvement"
Crocker built himself mansion on
the brow of Mob hill, San Francisco.
The palace covered almost an entire
block.
A gentleman whose name is lost to
fame had modest mansion in q corner
lot of that block. Crocker coveted
that lot, but could not get it at his own
price. He was somewhat incensed be-
cause he, a millionaire, was baked in
purchasing what he wanted at his own
price. The people of that vicinity were
astonished on seeing board wall being
built between Crocker's palace and the
gentleman's modest two-story frame.
The wonder grew with the fence, which
was built to the height of the roof of
the cottage.
This wall totally shuts out the light
from the west, also the sun after mid
day. The gentleman appealed to the
courts alleging that no person had the
right to construct anything, even
though upon his own premises, which
would interfere with the rights and lib
critics OF another; but the courts held
differently, though it was admitted by
Crocker that the fence was useless, and
he could give no other reason than
spite.
The gentleman removed his laundry
from the back yard to the roof, and
every day the family linen was faunt-
ing in the breeze from his own house
top which somewhat spoiled the view
of the Croker family as they gazed out
upon the bay and dispelled the ro-
nance of their evening promenades on
the eastern piazza.
Under the ruling of the court the
gentleman had right to make an I'M
slightly nuisance of the roof of his
house. But he proposed to do more.
He inscribed upon his banner, mo
compromise" and refused to sell at
any price. He was on the eve of rent
ing his house to Chinese theatrical
company when the proud Crocker or
dered his wall to be torn down.
This wall, known as "Crockers
Folly" was one of the objects of curl
osity of the city and was on the list to |
be shown to tourists. It,was visited by
thousands of citizens also.-Chicago

Importance of Foreign Lanpuapes.


On the practical side foreign tongues
are useful to well nigh all professional
men. There are, in fact, few engineers,
school teachers, electricians, editors,
physicians, newspaper writer's and lit
erary people generally to whom the
power to read at least two languages
other than English will not be found
of vital Importance. The latest stages
OF progress in the arts and sciences,
and in literature, are not infreuuently
recorded first in the publications of
France and Germany, and the profes-
sional man who cannot read these at
first hand is at a serious disadvantage.
The new material may come in the
shape of an article on some modern de-
parture in the practice of Italian peda-
gosy, an important paper in physics by
Helmholtz, hints of improved hospital
methods at Berlin, the account of an
engineering feat in Austria, the latest
developments in chemical theory from
the brain of Mendeleef, the newest
form of Weismann's explanation of he
redity, fresh experiments from Pasteur
political speech, a government meas
ure or literary essay, and all these
may be needed by specialists, if not for
general purposes, long before they are
likely to attain to reproduction in Eng
lish. Boston Herald.

The Blue and Gray Reunion,

An appeal for financial aid has been
issued by Colonel E. T. Lee, of Month
cello, Ills, and Major Lamar Fontaine,
of Shaw, Miss, ito all survivors of the
late conflict between the north and
south, and to all citizens of the United
States who are friendly to the move
ment inaugurated to bring veterans of
both armies together in one grand en-
campment at Chicago in 1898, during
the Worlds fair. We need money to
make this reunion success. Ours is a
mission of peace, and its grand object is
to bring the boys who wore the blue
and those who wore the gray together,
i'll one camp, under one flag, to talk
over the incidents of the late war around
the camp fires on Lake Michigan, and to
let the world see that our union is found
ed upon firm basis and is cemented
with the best blood that ever coursed
the veins of mortal man, and that it is
the common property of newly born

The chin Ricen Of the Chinese

The very first thing that Chinaman
takes when he gets up in the morning
is a bowl of hot ''congee," or, as he
calls it, thin rice" This is simply rice
boiled away to a thinnish drinkable
consistency. If allowed to cool, it
would thicken into paste. Some care
is required to make it properly.
IF the water is visible and not the
rice" says Yuan Mel, that is not con-
gee. If the rice is visible and not the
water, that is not congee either. The
two must be indistinguishably blended
before you can call the result congee."
