stand up. The Clerk said. "Gentlemen
of the Jury. look upon the prisoner. what
say you, Guilty. or not guilty?' The
foreman answered: Guilty" The Clerk
then read: 1--WE, the jury, find the prisoner
guilty, and fix his punishment AT nVe

word was uttered there was an unearthly
scream heard in the courtroom. Men
looked at each other, court officers seemed
TO be transfxed, and all was as quiet as
the grave, except the shrill shrieking,
moaning. and grooming OF tho prisoner.
Suddenly another shrek came from the
door, this time from a woman, n there
was the greatest commotion. Several wo-
men were running or staggering from the
courtroom. keeping up their screaming IN
the vestibule. Such a scene mas never
been witnessed in this court before.

Facts!

It's harder to increase trade in
clothes for knickerbocker boys
than in any other department
of O clothier's business-more
competition. Everybody
sells boys clothes except hard
ware stores, and some day
they'll be advertising patent
aluminium suits with reinforced
seats and knees.
Besides outside competition,
our boys r continually gradu-
ating into youths and men. The
same families won't furnish
boys indefinitely, SO We have
all the while to keep finding
new boys to replace the grow
aways.
Then again many parents i'm
agine that a boy ought to be
dressed for q quarter the cost
OF dressing his sister. They
read advertisements of boys
suits for S1.9s, S2.49, &C., and
try them, generally resulting in
the boys discreditable appear
ance. Even people who go to q
first-rate clothing store for their
boys clothes often b~egrudge
paying as much as is necessary
to get real nice things.
We are going to revolutionize
our boys clothing trade by put
ting it on q basis as novel as it
ought to be effective.
Henceforth we shall sell
clothes for knickerbocker boys
without profit
This means good clothes with
only enough added to cost OF
material and labor TO cover the
expense OF delivering them to
you-not q dollar Of profit for
ourselves (; wen wait for profit
until the boy begins to pay for
his Own clothes.
The entire stock OF boys
wearables has been marked to
accord with this idea.
As a Starter
we place on sale to-day ninety
