We heard gentleman say Saturday evening
that he's been buying his clothing in our house
since the big store opened, nearly three
years ago He's under obligations to us
pays for what he gets; he can buy with his cash
wherever he pleases, but he chooses our place
above 'em all, saying that he was formerly
patron Of Mr.. :, high-priced tailor in
town, and was never considered well-dressed
man, paying from $65 to $40 for his business
suits at all times. Now he pays us $40 year
and has three changes. Had we his permission
we would publish his name and portrait, but he
does not desire any notoriety, so we'll desist.
Now this is merely one case out of thousands.
We could publish testimonials that would fill
twenty editions of this paper, but we don't have
to-, as the people know full well that the big store
is doing the business of the town. 1t has the as
sortment, and our young ideas find the way into
everything new We're Frisco boys, you know,
born and bred right here, and we consider our
selves young and energetic men, and all our
energies are bent into making a success of our
business, and you get the benefit of all our young
ideas.
There's no other house in the United States
we say it without egotism-that shows up as
handsome line of mems apparel, all ready-to-
wear clothes, as that big house on Kearny street
We're proud of the fact and people are with u.s.
The decks of our first floor have been cleared
for action We will fire the first gun for the
spring campaign.
Some 500 suits-the choicest ideas of the
choicest minds in the way of spring

Bright and pretty scotches in the single
breasted and three-button cutaway sacks.
Those beautiful and dressy Blue Serges-the

Those Llama Wool and Blue-black Thibets,
treated you know, with that grace and skill which
raise these garments above the plane of ordinary
ready-made clothing. They don't look like it.
Any one seeing you have on one of these suits
would ask you what tailor made it for you.
They have that made-for-you appearance. They
have that grace and hang on your body that only
clothing cut by skilled artist tailors and made by
skilled garment-makers possess.
That's the kind of clothing that we will have

Dog Dentists in New York.

Dog dentists are multiplying. While
1t is o comparatively young profession
In New York, the success attending the
efforts Of its pioneer to minister to the
needs Of the panpered puppies who
get more than their share Of teeth-de-
stroying sweets has led others to enter
the ranks. until there are over half q
dozen such dentists doing a good bush
ness. One Of the canine tooth carpep-
tiers says he got $3.50 for making false
set Of teeth for an aristocratic pup
whose jaw trifled with the hoof of .
horse. Teeth are pulled, filled and filed,
as required, and as the owners of the
dogs are usually women of wealth, the
prices paid for the work are decidedly
high. Even the dogs are feeling the ef-
fects of high living now INDUCED in by
their wealthy mistresses, and must sur
fer accordingly.

to come in looking like tramp, with
the toes out of his boots, soiled linen
and general air Of semi-respectable
vagrancy. Ard yet he would think
nothing Of paying $50 for some book
that he wanted. His daughter came to
me one day with tears in her eyes and
begged me not to sell her father any
more books, as the family was in abso-
lutte want and needed the money for
household purposes. looked into the
case and found thar the old mans pas

him into a perfect miser. He would

family's comfort. and when he got
enough together would 60 OF and buy

In Memory Of Jonathan II. SAL /:
:mon, second mate Of the ship:
:Arabella, who was killed by a:
whale OF the southeast coast
:of South America, Dec. 8, 1S47:
:aged q years.
- 1890 -:
The whaling ship Arabella sailed
from Sag Harbor on Aug. 8, 1874. She
fell In with lot of sperm whales on
Dec. 3, following of the southwest
coast Of South America, Three big
fellows had been killed, and the boat
commanded by Second Mate Salmon
started in pursuit Of the fourth. Sal
mon was q native of Honesdale. They
got close enough to the whale for the
harpooner to launch his weapon sue
cessfully at the monster. Before the
crew of the boat could pull away the
wounded monster struck 1t an upward
blow with its terrible fluke. The boat
was lifted out Of the water several feet,
80 high that it turned entirely over in
the air. The men dropped into the
water. Salmon fell near the furious
whale, still having his oar in his hands.
The whale rushed upon him, with it's
fPoN1nn6nnc n vlyc Vv,1Hn
quilted both Salmon and his oar. It
was the oar that saved Salmon for that
time. The whales jaws came together
on the oar, which struck out on each
side Of his jaws so far back near the
hinges of the jaw that 1t kept the huge
mouth from closing sufficiently to
crush the seaman. Before the whale
could change the situation Salmon
jumped from its mouth into the sea.
Another boat, in which was a brother
Of Salmon, who was also O sailor on
the Arabella, had coma up by this time
and Salmon succeeded in reaching 1t
and was rescued from the whale But
his safety was only momentary, for the
whale treated this boat as it had the
other. Salmon was thrown into the
water near the whale, as he had been a
few moments before. The whale took
him in once more. This time Salmon
had no oar to stay the monsters jaws,
and they closed down upon him like a
gigantic trap. The whale went down
out Of sight. and none of the crew ever
saw it or their shipmate again.
The story of the sea tragedy, the
memory of which is perpetuated by the
stone at the tenantless grave in the
Honesdale cemetery, is recalled by a
recent visit to this village of the brother
of Jonathan Salmon, who was with him
on that fatal voyage. The grave was
made and the stone erected in 1S49,
In which year the surviving brother re-
turned with the news Of the others
death.

A Terrible Bird.

The author of 1.-THE Naturalist in La

ance of a rather small hawk, of
species unknown to him, although he has
seen it a hundred times. 1t is a marsh

in marshes.
have frequently seen, he says, all
the inhabitants of a marsh struck with
panic, acting as II demented and sud-
denly grown careless to all other dan
gers. On such occasions have looked
up, confident of seeing this particular
hawk suspended above them in the sky.
All birds that happen to be on the
wing drop into the reeds or water as IL
shot. Ducks away from the shore
stretch out their necks horizontally and
drag their bodies, as If wounded, into
closer cover. Not one bird is found
bold enough to rise and wheel about
the marauder-a usual proceeding in
the case Of other hawks; while at every
sudden stOOp of the falcon low cry of
terror rises from the birds underneath
"a sound expressive Of an emotion SO
contagious that 1t quickly runs like
murmur all over the marsh, as IL a
gust Of wind had swept moaning
through the rushes.
AS long as the falcon hangs overhead,
always at a height of about forty yards,
threatening at intervals to dash down,
this murmuring sound made up of many
Individual cries, is heard swelling and
dying away, and occasionally, when he
drops lower than usual. 1t rises to a
sharp scream Of terror.
Sometimes, when l have been riding
over marshy ground, one Of these hawks
has placed himself directly over my
head, within fifteen or twenty yards. 1t
has, perhaps, acquired the habit of fol-
lowing horsemen in this way, in order
to strike at any birds driven up.
Once my horse almost trod on a
couple Of snipe squatting, terrified, in
the short grass. The instant they rose
the hawk struck at one of them, the
end Of his wing shifting my cheek vio-
lently as he stopped. The snipe es.

Immediately dropped on the other side
