THE WORLDS CONVENTION.

WAN CIV 11ONH-
Dear Union Signal:-The number OF
delegates and visitors exceeds expecta-
tions. Over n thousand are known to
be present. Thus far all things have
conspired for a splendid convention. The
banquet Friday night was a brilliant
affair and served to put everybody il
good working and good enjoying trim.
Saturday a. m. ten O'Clock found The
pavilion crowded with an audience eager
to hear Miss Wizards address. The
great worlds banner, the central scene

many countries; the world itself, ribbon
belted, and suspended from the blue
canopy overhead; the festoons and pen
dants of yellow, and of red and white and
blue, and the Union Jacks and stars and
stripes, made a beautiful setting for the
thronging multitudes in costumes more
varied than the races and n%ationalities
represented.

applauded upon her appearance. Dressed
in blue (the most becoming color sb,
ever wears) with enough glintinp O.,
Persian colors upon the blouse t,

girlish and her responsiveness as oui K
and bright as of old; and when be,
sympathetic voice swept with easy grac
out over the vast audience, an inward
sigh OF relief throbbed through the
women as they felt, ''She is indeed her
very self in spite of all the worry. the
wear and tear and the burdens of the
years."
It is needless to try to cbaracterizs her
address except to say that she handled
the difficult questions she had to discuss
with consummate skill. She ross above

To be sure, we make bIunders-

take no sort of risk.
Thousands know that we kept a
pretty good store, even years ago,
when the volume of business was
small-counted THE BEST STORE,
though odd, because we made your
satisfaction the one test. Goods
falling short of that were to be
brought back, no matter how much
loss to us was entailed.
Year byyear the volume of bust
ness has grown; buying power
has increased = there has been
growing advantage to you in deal
ing here because what savings we
make we share literally. In good

blest parts of her mission in h world
has beef to show to the older peoples
and states an example of ~abstention
from the Quarrels and wars and on
quests that make up so large and so
lamentable a part of the annals of
Europe. Her remote position n her
immense power have, as I have said,
delivered her TO that burden of mill
tary and naval ornaments which
presses with crushing weight upon the
peoples Of Europe. 1t would be, for
her, a descent from what may be call
ed the pedestal of wise and pacific de
tachment on which h now stands,
were she to yield to that earth-hunger
which has been raging among the
European states, and to initiate the
aggressive methods which some OF
them have pursued. The policy Of
creating great ornaments and of an
nexing territories beyond the sea would
be, if a stranger may venture to say
so, an un-American policy, and a COM
