ART|ST|CALLY MADE,

The suit that is not cut
right ought to be cut to
pieces. 1t makes all the diff
ference in the world who
handles the blades that go
through the cloth. If you
cannot say of a suit that it is
mz1shealT eat, the less you
say about it the better. Mr..
l. Jackson personally attends
to the cutting department,
and he knows how the shears
are handled. That is one of
the reasons why our HOME
MADE SUITS are so supe-
rior to others and defy criti-
cism; in the making of our
suits it is needless to again
calfyour attention to the fact
that every garment is made
by our own tailors with the
greatest of care, with but one
object in view, and that is
"entire satisfaction.

Bank exchanges show about the usual
swell during the months following quarterly
settlements, and the nearness to which the
figures approach each other and the slight
variations during the other months show
that regular trade was quite equally dis

During the early excuses of the
French revolution, a rabble of men and
women were rioting in the streets OF
Paris. Lafayette appeared and ordered
young artillery officer TO open fire up
on them with two cannon. The officer
begged the general TO let him try first
70 persuade them u withdraw.
1T is useless 10 appeal TO their rea-
son." said the general.
Certainly" answered the officer,
''and il is not To their reason, but to
their vanity would appeal"
The officer rode up 70 the front of the
mob, dotted his cooked hat, pointed to
the guns and said;
Gentlemen win have the kindness
10 retire, for l am ordered TO shoot
down the rabble."
The street was cleared at once; for
none could brook the idea Of being
classed with the scum of the city.
During the agrarian riots which dis
turbed England in 1898. mob of rick
burners and machine breakers appeared
at the old mansion Of two elderly
ladies.
The walls Of the hall were decorated
with suits Of armor and antique
weapons-pilkes, halberds. swords and
battle axes The mob clamored for the
weapons and for drink. The ladies re-
fused their demands, and when the
mob seemed ready 70 resort 70 violence,
Miss Betty, the elder of the ladies. went
up TO the leader, demonstrating man,
and said:

There was no standing up against
