"The Chicago
Post" Says:

"ChicagO is to be congratulated
on the defeat of that prepOsterous
and unconstitutional measure dl-
rected against the department
stores. What commentary it Is
on the intelligence and legal edu-
cation of our Legislators to find
that any members actually voted
in favor of the bill.
'There was not single eco
nOmic, social, ethical or legal con-
sideratiOn worthy of the slightest
consideration in the pseudo argu-
ments adduced by the supporters
of the proposal.
"The champions of the silly bill
would not or could not see that
consolidation of retail trade is
merely one of the numerous mani
festatiOns of general world ten
dency, and that to attempt to
arrest it is like running ones
head against a stone wall.
"While the courts of the State
would kill any law interfering
with natural rights and liberties
to pursue lawful calling in a
lawful way, we are glad that the
Legislature preferred to take
upon itself the responsibility for
giving the anti-stOre bill its qui-
etus."

Henry Drummond's Humor.

A feature of Professor Drummonds s
character, which has been missed by
most who have given an estimate of
the man, was his humor. He had the
grand manner" and a stately gravity
which kept outsiders from seeing the
playful side of his nature. This also
had it's origin in the simplicity which
was the keynote of all his character.
He was fond of little practical jokes,
and could hoax his friends to perfec-
ton. Almost the last time l saw him
was at a dinner to which we had been
invited to meet a London celebrity who
was to address a meeting after dinner.
Drummond came over to me and whis-
pered, DO you want to go to this
meeting?" l shook my head a little
sadly, feeling that there was no help
for it, and he said, with a touch of
mischief in his eye, "We'll run" We
took an opportunity, when everybody
was attending to the celebrity, to slip
out and went along to his house with
the glee of two schoolboys playing tru-
ant. He enjoyed the escape hugely,
and looked upon it as a practical joke
that we had got the celebrity's honey
without his sting.
to his capacity for fun, and with chill
dren there was nobody else in the house
worth considering when Henry Drum
mond was in it. He would lower the
gases and tell ghost stories with COM
icai denouement that was irresistibly
funny He would gravely PROFOUND a
problem and make you puzzle it out,
only to find it was a hoax. At the very
last when he could hardly speak, he
would try to keep UP his friends spif-
it's by taking them in with some anus
ing conundrum. In the days of his
power, after every visit to America
and Australia he came home with de-
lightful stories that went the rounds
as Drummond's latest. This character
istic of humor was part of the instinct
i've Joy of living which beamed in his
very face He had so many interests,
artistic, scientific and social and he
lived in such a sweet atmosphere of
faith that life was to him very good

The Philosophy of
ReadY=made Underwear

Why do people buy Muslin
Underwear rather than get it
made? Because, we suppose, of
these reasons:
First-It costs little.
Second-A greater variety is
set before you, and one can cas-
lily choose what suits best.
Third-The risk of inventing
and copying is avoided.
Fourth-The risk of wrong
cutting and putting together is
avoided.
Thus all the difficulty, doubt
and danger are taken away, and
your money goes further besides.
If you are interested in seeing
the very best Underwear that we
have been able to find in Amer
ica in all the various grades, we
shall be pleased to show you,
even though you have no
thought of buying,
