"Iiumor is a perception of facts in certain
relationships" Relationships are eternally
varying, human moods also vary, but some
passages Of humor are eternal, others are
transient. Thus it is said by some that Mr..
Pickwick is scarcely so funny as he once
was, but Falstaff has never ceased and can
never cease to be entertaining. Mr.. Pick
wick is more temporary, local and fantastic
So far tho humor that created and enjoyed
him was new humor. Falstaff is immor-
tally human. So is George Dandin OF
Monsieur de pourceaugnac. The humor
which created them is not old or new, but
eternal.
Out of his archaeological reading Mr..
Toole produces story of Greek statue OF
q god which was viewed as funny because
one leg was too short. This the early pagan
Greeks thought the highest humor." Mr..
Toole decides that Dr. lbsen's nonhumor is
not new, is "as old as SIM" The vogue OF
DIR. lbsen is only caprice of the new cul-
ture, which is essentially uncultiyated. 1t
likes the grimy and the grubby. These Il
thinks are real 1t has no humor and
does not sec the fun which arises from DR.

''No one to blame but
yourselves for the low prices
and little profits" says one
of our greatest producers of.
merchandise. eff you had.
kept up old prices and not
given your customers the
whole of the confidential re.
bates and almost all the dis
counts all hands would have
been making more money"
Guess it is 80. We are
guilty of dividing the loaf
with our customers. Our
idea of business is to be of
the greatest possible service
to those who choose our
store to deal in.
Whatever we can save to
them in better qualities and
lower prices, fuller SIZE, more
careful workmanship is
bound to be to our advan-
Itage in the end.
1t is the long run we are
counting on. No shouting or
hurrahing, but putting our
statement in plain clothes
and still being old.fashioned
enough to believe that point
ing out defects in goods is
better than allowing our Gus
toners to discover them and
be aggrieyed.
We commenced that way
in 1877, and we keep on that
way, except that our manner
OF dealing grows more ano
more liberal, and we dc
everything that can be done
consistently for the greatest
good of all our customers.
We allow return of all
goods, except Mattresses
that might be slept on,
goods for medical purposes,
tooth brushes and such like,
and think we serve our pa.
irons best by these few ex
ceptions.
We go to the farthest ex
IRENE in providing every
safeguard for those who dea.
here as to qualities anG
values. The confidence the
people give us shall never be
misplaced.
