secure open doors for the debate but
there is no likelihood that it will carry.

the one.third vote necessary to accom-
plish that end they will allow the vote
to come without delay, reserving any
dilatory tactics to which they may be
disposed to resort for use in connection

follow the defeat of the treaty. This
resolution would require only major

A Sign Displayed In Shops which Guard

'No Boxes Sold Here is the sign
that hangs in one of the principal
jewelry establishments in the city. The
sign made its appearance after the shop
ping of one Christmas season. But there
is no time of the year in which the de-
mand for boxes is quite discontinued,
and the sign serves its purpose always.
The demand fer boxes was prompted
by the amiable desire to deceive some
friend or relative into the belief that
the article presented to him came from
the best establishment in the city. Sim.
liar attempts are made at the we'll
known glass and china shops, at one of
the we'll known French confectioners
and at all Of the establishments which
have made reputation in some par
ticular field.
Nearly all of these answer such ap.
plications with the words of the sign,
"No Boxes Sold Here" but there arc
some few which sell them as regularly
as they do other objects Of merchandise
and are quite Indifferent to what be.
