When We advertised that we would
commence and remodel our store the
early part OF June, some people thought
1t was only a hoax and that it was u
scheme to induce them to our place of
business. But when they came and
found that the prices we advertised
were not idle imagininRs. but were
solid faeta, that they could purchase
clothing from us at almost half what
they would have to pay elsewhere, they
were then convinced that all we adyer-
tized was true to the letter. We've ar
ranged with the builders so that we ca n
remain In tho store while the remodel
ing goes on. Consequently the balance

not choose Unlike the man who has
worked for one portion Of his life In
lorder that he may loaf for the rest OF
his life, they have neither of them
worked at all, and the means of loaf
ing have come to them without any
effort on their part, There Is, however,
a calculation and a certain amount OF
brain power demonstrated in the park
loafer's existence which is wanting in
his colleague.
But il you want to see and feel and
know the most prevalent social nuis-
ance here, you must meet with the de-
partment clerk who continually talks
to you of the public business, and
would impress upon you the fact that
he owns the government of the United
States. He doesn't make you angry,
for he is not really harmful, but YOU
treat him with charitable pity. Dur
ing the heat of the summer. when
everybody takes vacation, he tells
you that he cant get away and in
Inmates pretty strongly that it is inn
possible for the department he is in to
get on when he is absent from. his desk.
He has actually fooled himself into
this belief, but he does not succeed in
deceiving anyone else. It is all right
for him to- work 'over-hours, to go to
the department on Sunday in order to
keep the government constantly under
his wing; but it is nuisance to have
him talk about it all the time. How
ever, the poor fellow knows nothing
else to talk about. His most precious
possession is an empty pate.
Do you know that a man or woman
may reside in Maine, California, Texas,
or other remote points, and yet become
one of the nuisances of Washington?
No class OF people can be more pesti-
lential than the monomaniacs who
write for autographs. They thus an
noy and bother the public men who
live in Washington, and not only in
sist upon having the great mans sigma
ture, but often demand his photograph
as well. 1t must be decided nuisance
for the great man to pay for the photo
graphs If, indeed, he does so and they
are not present from the photograph
er. But the greatest local nuisances of
all are the people who are eternally
boasting Of the distinguished people
they know. The man who does this is
not usually an old resident of Wash
ington, because old residents gradual
ly get used to constant contact with
public characters. Of the latter it can
not be said precisely that familiarity
breeds contempt for them, although it
Is true that, as no man is hero to his
valet-de-chamber, SO it is unusual to
lind people who maintain feeling of
reverence and awe for man they see
and who is, in private rela-

people. But old Washingtonians don't

In bu&ding villages, towns and cities,
men Surrender many rights for the
common good and general welfare; but
women acquire rightsand attain higher
rank than are conceded to the matron
Of the farmsor to the household drudge
Of the miner, or hunter, or trapper.
Men are, even until this date, savages
and barbarians by instinct; and nearly
all Of them are Ishmaelites, with their
hands raised against all other men.
Women, however, are adaptable crea-

the farm, naturally sink to the level of
