A store may thrive on doubtful
prices, derelict goods and dubious
methods for awhile, but no great
business will grow as this business
has grown without the encourage
ment of the public, who are keen to
detect humbug.
Since the very first we have shown
the possibilities OF lowered prices for
fine fresh merchandise, and we have
been rewarded with the appreciation
that makes Success.
We are building and improving to
make this better store-more con-
venient for you and us. Work on

as to which was the most deserving OF
all the contributions. Mr.. Hawthorne's
work is brilliant representation of
contemporary American life, with a
plot full OF novel situation and dramatic
incidents. 1t shows keen observation
and stamps its author as minute dis
sector of character, realist and a ro-
mancist of unique conception and great
power. The novel was written by Mr..
Hawthorne in Jamaica, whittier he had
gone in 1898. 1t was sent to his friend,
J. NJ. Stoddard, of the Transatlantic
Publishing company, New York. under
a pledge of sok,mn secrecy and was for
warded by him through the ordinary
methods. The second prize in the novel
contest was won by the Rev. w. C..
Brakeman, of Islip, n. Y. His work is
entitled 1.-THE Black Hand" and the
prize amounts to $1,000. The third
prize, $1,000, in that class has been
awarded to Mrs. Bond Valentine Thorn
as, of Millville, N. j., who competed I'M
der her maiden name. Edith Carpenter.
Her novel is entitled Your Money or
Your Life" The prize of $1,000 for the
best novelette, was awarded to Miss
Molly Elliot Seawell, OF Washington,
D. c., whose work is entitled The
Sprightly Tale of Marsac." The $1,000
prize for q short story was won by Ed
ward Fawcett, of New York, for a
story entitled "A Romance of Old New
York" The $1,000 prize in the epic
poem contest was awarded to an an
onymous writer whose pseudonym is
''Sangamon," but whose identity has
not thus far been established. All the
contributions were submitted anony-
mously, that being one Of the condi-
tons laid down. The identity Of the
principal beneficiary was developed
only after considerable effort, but NO
doubt '.Sangamon" viii claim the
prize which his effort has earned.

A Very Desirable Calendar.

Calendars Of all kinds and sizes
herald the coming year. Many are to
be had for the asking-many without
askiDg-but to them as to other things
the rule might be applied that what
costs nothing is worth about what it
costs. The calendar We always welcome
has just reached us. We refer to the
one published by N. w. Aver 4 Son.
Newspaper Advertising Agents. Phila-
delphia. This issue seems il possible
even better than its predecessors. Hand
some enough for the library, and yet
carefully adapted for everyday use, 1t
is naturally great favorite. The firms
well-known motto, keeping Everlast-
ingly At 1t Brings Success" appears
this year in a new and very attractive
form. The daily presence Of this in
spring motto Is worth far more than
the price Of any calendar. The date
figures are so large and clear that they
can easily be seen across the room. The
reading matter on the flaps will also
possess interest to the progressive.
ThoseNwho have used this calendar in
other years will not be surprised to
learn that the demand for it is con-
stantly increasing. Once introduced,it
becomes a welcome friend. Its price
(25 cents, includes delivery, in perfect
condition, postage paid, to any address.

Parker's Ginger Tonic.

OF the many good things to be found In
American homes, we do not believe that
any are held in higher esteem. or have
done better service than Parkers Gin
ger Tonic. 1t has grown to be house,
hold necessity and is serviceable in al
most every case where there is weak
ness and infirmity. There are forms OF
female debility that make life bur-
den. Tie same is true OF persistent
coughs and colds. and distressing stom-
ach and nervous ills. They have held
high revel in many homes until BAN
ished by Parker's Ginger Tonic and we
are proud Of the record that has made
20 many hearts grateful.

competition was open to the world, and
there were plenty of aspirants for the
tempting award, but Mr.. Hawthorne is
easily recognized as among the fore
most novelists of the time, and that he
should have achieved this marked trl-
umph in literature will be matter OF
general satisfaction He was born IN
Boston in 1876, entered Harvard college
in 1868, and though he failed to re-
ceived the degree with which his COL
leagues in the class were decorated, he
excelled them all in athletics and was
consoled in the hour Of disappointment
by his friend, John c. Heenan, the
prize fighter, who assured him he
would be successful prize fighter,
and urged him to adopt that occupation.
He didn't follow the advice, though
strongly inclined to do SO, for his illus
t:ious father had warned him to try to
earn an honest living in any other way
than by authorship. He tried to be a
civil engineer, succeeded measurably
In mastering that difficult profession
and was for period employed in the
New York department of docks under
General George B. Mcclellan. He grew
weary of the work, however. and in
1872 gave it up and went to Dresden
with his wife and child. During the
latter part of his residence in New
York he had, to use his own language,
contracted a deleterious practice o.
writing short stories for the maya
zines," which he followed up during his
residence abroad by the production OF
a novel entitled "Bressart," which was
published in England and America, and
was regarded as work of much merit.
Since that numerous works have fol
lowed, among which were Saxon
Studies" Garth" Sebastian Strome,"
"Sinfire" and Archibald Malmaison,"
the last two of which he rates among
his best works. The prize winner in
the recent contest is entitled Between
Two Fires" and strangely enough an
other of the competitors had chosen the
same title for the work he submitted,
but without the least depreciation Of
the others it may be said that there
were no two opinions among the judges
