BIGGEST ONE YET
A Proposition is Made for Ham,
iltOn Hall
By a Large Company Intending
to Open
A DEPARTMENT STORE.
Concern Wants Both Floors OF
the Building
And Asks DIR. Hamilton for His
Price.

A department store on an immense
scale seems to be reaching for Topeka.
Negotiations are now on for securing
the entire space of the Hamilton audi
torium building up stairs and down, in
this city for the largest department
store in the state.
The company, or corporation, back OF
this project, is not known. DR.. Hamil-
ton tells a Journal reporter that he has
been approached in reference to the es-
tablishment of the department store,
and he refuses to say at the present
time who is behind the scheme. He
states, however that it is one of the
largest mercantile companies in the
United States and that it controls stores
in other cities.
Topeka merchants know nothing
about the matter. 1t was reported some
time ago that Siegel, Cooper & Com
pany, owning big department stores in
New York and Chicago, intended to
branch out and eSta bliSh stores in a
number of other cities throughout the
country, among them Topeka. 1t was
also rumored recently that the ST. Louis
concern of Ely, Walker & Co intended
to start department stores in different
cities.
The Boston company, owning a num-
Der of department stores, one at Kan
sas City, is also suggested as the possi-
bic company.
An idea of the magnitude of the pro-
posed store is the fact that it will be
established here only in the event that
a building sufficiently large can be Sc
cured The Hamilton building is $50
feet by so feet wide, and the two floors
will give a space of $4,000 square feet.
The location on Quincy street is also
we'll adapted to big department store.
1.-The store will be established here if
the company can secure a suitable
building" said DR.. Hamilton today.
1.-The representative of the company
simply asked me what 1 would rent both
floors of the building for, and told him
I would take the matter under consid-
Grafton and let him know tomorrow.The
representative of the company will be
in Topeka tomorrow.
The rent from Hamilton hall furnish
es considerable revenue to DR.. Hamilton
yearly.
THE company. made me no offer, said
DR.. Hamilton, but simply asked me for
my price,
If satisfactory arrangements can be
made with DR.. Hamilton, the big de-
partment store will be established in
Topeka within the next month. If ar
rangements cannot be made with DR..
Hamilton the company will probably
try to secure some of the other large

A Strike in the Nursery.

Il live just across the road from the
Bells, and though my house is ever SO
much bigger and nicer than theirs 1
go over there to play, lots and lots Of
times.
My name is Marjorie, and Elsie Bell
calls me her cousin when we are good
friends. Then, when she gets mad
she calls me Sweet Majorum, and says
I would be good in soup. Now, isn't
that mean?
we do have heaps of fun together,
for there are so many children in their
family that my mamma calls them
chime of bells; and when they get
crying, or quarreling on the lawn,
mamma says. Dear me; how those
bells are jangling to-day. They're all
out of tune
I'VE thought that was very funny,
so / told Marian about it. She never
laughed one bit. You see Marian is
bigger than me, and she is always
calling Elsie and me little children.
Last winter Mrs. Bell took BERTHE and
Marian out of the nursery; she gave
them each a room to themselves, and
since then, dear me, how stuck up
Marian has beenl Elsie can never
make her listen when she is in trouble,

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.
Demand for the Establishment OF
the system.

In the office of the efSupeTf1tendent or
the Money Order System Of the Gen
eral Postoffice at Washington issevd-
dence which will convince the most
skeptical that there exists, especially
in the West, a demand for a Govern
ment institutions where the SavingSrof
the people may be deposited.
The money order system was es-
ta.bLished for the accommodation of
the people-those who do not enjoy
bank accounts and cannot forward
money by checks. While the object of
the system was purely to facilitate.,the
transaction of business by offering at
a small cost the medium for transmit
ting money, experience has demonstrat-
ed that it is not infrequently used
to guard the savings of those who are
not within easy reach of banks, or
fear. to trust their hard-earned dollars
in the keeping of banks. Money orders
are often obtained by persons who
have q few dollars TO lay away. This
is made evident by the operation of the
law, which declares a money order
void when not presented for payment
within one year. When a money Or
der is retained by the payee beyond
that period it can only be renewed by
the Superintendent of the system in
Washington and the number of cases
where money orders have been retain
ed for one, two, three and even more
years is surprising. The records show
that in most instances where money Or
ders are not presented within the pre-
scribed time the order was purchased
by the payee with no other purpose
than depositing his money where ne
knew it would be safe until wanted.
When the original money order has
become void a duplicate is issued, upon
application, by the superintendent OF
the system, and void duplicates are re-
placed by warrants upon a fund crea-
ated by uncalled for money which has
accumulated since the system has been
in operation. Hundreds of cases could
be given where farmers, miners, ner-
chants and other persons have used
the money order system for a savings
bank, among the most striking being
the case of a miner at LeadvilIe, Col.'
who purchased an order for S2,2OO, pay
able Ia himself, and permitted 1t TO re-
main on deposit for five years. For the
sake Of the security afforded by de-
posting the money with the Govern
ment he was not only willing to lore
go the interest which he would nave
received had the money been placed
in a savings bank or otherwise invest
ed. but he paid the commission de-
manded by the Government for issuing
the order.
The use of the money order system
as a savings bank is resorted to as ire
quently to-day as at any time IN the
past. The mails bring to the Postot1lce
Department daily numerous void orders
to be renewed, and the officials VINO
have the renewal of the orders IN
charge understand that the system IS
being used in the place of savings
banks.-The Chicago Record.

Song of the Klondiker.

(Air ''Swanee River.')
Way up upon the Yukon River,
Far, far away
There's where my heart is turning ever,
No matter what folks say.
All up and down the old plantation,
Sadly | roam,
Still longing for the Klondike station,
And for a gold-digger's home.
CHORUS.
Oh, the times are hard and dreary,
Everywhere | go;
oh, Pardners, how my heart grows
weary
Far from the gold rivers flow.
All round the little town 1 wander
When / am broke,
Then many hungry days [ squander,
Many OF them no joke.
When I am thinking what a claim yields
Happy am l;
OH take me to Alaska's gold fields,
There let me dig or die.
One little claim among the miners,
One l may work;
Still keeping me among the finders,
No matter what l shirk.
When shall I see the gold dust lying
All round the ground?
When shall 1 keep my pick-aX prylng
Gold from a frozen mound?

She was always tying her apron strings

had a new cook, and it was a dread
full shame what bread she sent to the
nursery for supper; for Mrs. Bell only
gives her children bread and milk for
supper. 'Tisn't very much, but Elsie
says she don't mind, if it's only good.
''Welll The bread kept getting harder
every night. First. Elsie prayed about
it, and it did seem a little softer the
next night Then she complained to

line. AT last one lovely September
evening, when mamma and Aunt Ellie
were chatting quietly together. in
walked four little white night-gowned
figures Each held in stretched-out
palm a rough slice of stale bread. Elsie
headed the line. She walked straight
up to her mamma, and handed her the
bread, saying, We've eated this bread
for week, and we won't not eat such
missable stuff any more The process

and laid their hard bread in their

Mamma caught up two little strik-
ers, Aunt Ellie picked up the other
two and Elsie told me they all had a
lovely time Elsie's mamma scolded
the cook and ordered hot biscuits at
once They played games until the bis
cults came in all buttery and crisp:
they We're ever so good, but Allie had
to fall asleep and nearly choke him

singularly good Brocaded silks and

low prices as to make the careful shop
per very wary. A bargain is always
delightful thing to secure, but when
any material is sold astonishingly cheap
there is the danger it will be so uni
