"Wanamaker sells it, is to insure
easy selling elsewhere. But the

employed to keep things out. Our
Public shall not be led into trouble

testing done before goods are &C
cepted for sale.
Nothing left but easy choosing
for those who depend on this house

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.
Union Rally at the Sixth Street
M. e. Church Tonight.

There Will be a grand union rally of
all societies of young people at the
Sixth-street Methodist Church. be-
tween K and L streets, at 7:45 o'clock
this evening. The object of this meet
ing is to afford an opportunity for those
who could not attend the recent inter-
national convention-''Califor 81
to learn the impressions of those who
did attend
The music of the evening will be
under the direction of Miss Ida L.
Clinch, the leader of the Sacramento
County division of the great convention
choir, and it is especially desired that
all who took part in the rehearsals or
in the choir at San Francisco attend
and bring their books, so there will be
an opportunity to hear the best of
that music. Also, all who have con-
vention programmes will confer a favor
by bringing them, in order that the
general songs may be heard.
The evenings programme will include
short talks on different lines of con-
vention work by those who attended
most of the meetings and who will give
the result of their observations.
All who have white caps and who are
willing to act as ushers are requested to
bring their caps, and all are urged to
wear badges. Those who have State
badges should wear them, and those
Who have not should wear their societ y
badges. This feature is especially de-
sired, and it is hoped there will be no
failure.
If the great lessons of the conven-
ton are needed this rally should be of
great benefit to all who attend.
