during the past season have
been marvelously low, sweep

ready new stuffs for the I'M
born Spring are coming in
ahead of the usual time simply
because Our Public demands
them.
This great, helpful store
made by you and us-grows
constantly more helpful
through the added power you
give us to handle goods to best
possible advantage and with
least cost and waste in the
gathering.
Buyers have already been
started on their European
trips-more will follow as the
weeks go by. More than
twenty are scheduled for this
servlce-many OF them making
two voyages year. Take,
for instance, the head of this
Linen business. Half Of each
year he spends among the
loom folks of Ireland, Scotland
and Germany-our Handker-
chief orders in Belfast making
us the largest buyers of pure
linen goods for retail in the
world.
Most of the details of these
mid-Winter sales must neces-
sarily be found in the daily
papers, each day bringing de-
velopments that are told of in
our columns of store news.
We insure the fulhllment of
our wish of

a letter from the bishop Of this diocese
directing the Young Mems Institute. a
Catholic organization to send letters to
Gov. Mckinley, Senator Allison. and other
republican and democratic presidential
possibilities, asking them for a written
statement of their sentiments in regard to
the American Protective Association, he
said that the time had come
when Catholics, in self protec-
tiOn, should know the senff-
ments of candidates for office on this sub
ject He also asserted that many Catho-
lies who voted for Gov. Bradley were now
sorry that they did so. He predicted that
but few Of those to whom the letters are
to be addressed will give an answer to
the query in regard to the American Pro
tective Association, but indicated that
Catholics should affiliate only with those
who speak out in open hostility to the
order.
