Not too early to consider this prop
oSition-Christmas is only some six
weeks forward. The holidays have
a direct bearing upon our business.
They create a demand for special
lines-the many lines of novelties
and novel wares for gift usages.
Hence the special efforts that
have been put forth months ago
and are now being put forth to make
this years collection and display
unprecedented.
It's too early to speak in detail of
the many lines, so only this mem
ton of some of the exclusive sorts
that were gathered by our buyer
while on the continent during the
summer, and which are now receiv-
ing here, for the first time, the
light of day on American soil.
There are BronzeS, Leathers and
DresdenS from Germany; Hand
Painted Toilet Articles, Nic-Nacs
and Jewelry from France; Ivory,
Cut Glass, Silver and Gun Metal
Novelties from England. All the
important art centerS of the old
world have representatives in this
veritable pan-municipal show. It's
a duty owing to yourself to see tbs
vast collection of Statuettes, BuSts,
Vases, Toilet Things and Table Ar
ticleS.
It's not a good time to crv of
priceS-art is not measured by dol
lars and cents. Therefore it's in
consistent to shout "Cheap
Cheap !" in the same breath with
"Finest and Best" Yet in truth
we hold the matter of price as
highly important.
There is no sentimentality in our
prices-each mark is based on a
business percentage Of the cost, and
the goods cost less than you ex-
pect-that'S triumph enough

themselves becoming a nuisance. Their

the effect that such hucksters must be

Camp General S. B. NJ. Young, Au-
gusta, Ga. Nov. 1S.-The Thirteenth is
now fairly well settled, and It's men,
bers are already becoming quite accus-
toned to life in Georgia. One must
see the present site of the regiments
camp to fully appreciate it. For two
weeks prior to our arrival here the
state had been using some of the
criminals of the neighboring prisons
for the purpose of constructing roads,
with the result that the different ap-
proaches to camp are in excellent con-
dition.
The camp site and the surroundings
are pretty location. We are situated
about three and a half miles to the
southwest of the city of Augusta whose
lights at night time are distinctly re-
fiected in the clouds; and our tents are
pitched right in the middle of what is
known as the Monte san Hills, a vast
sandy plain containing four or five
thousand acres. perfectly fiat, with
an elevation of $50 feet above Augusta,
and without the slightest semblance of
vegetation, excepting an intermiNture
of an occasional cactus plant and scrub
oak, which seldom reaches n height of
over two feet. The presence of sand is
a safe guarantee against one draw
back which the men of the Thirteenth
have had a surfeit-mud, which is un
known here.
A test of this has already been made
since our arrival here, it has been rain
ing most of the time, and still It is
not cold, and there is but the barest
suspicion of dirt or mud This. in it
self, is appreciated. and when the
weather shall have fully cleared, this
will probably be the healthiest as well
as the most enjoyable camp which the
regiment has had since entering the
United States service.
ALWAYS HEALTHFUL
The Tribune correspondent last even
ing met several intelligent residenters.
VINO have lived in the neighborhood all
their lives, and they stated that this
place has always been rated high for
it's general healthfulness, and that usu-
ally ii does not rain so much as it has
been doing recently.
The Thirtecnth's company streets run
northeast by southwest and, as at
Camp Meade. the Kitchens are placed
midway between the mems tents and
the officers quarters. so that the COM
pany commanders may thereby be en-
abled TO exercise a more careful scru-
tiny over hygienic conditions. Regi-
mental headquarters and the hospital
are near the road, which divides
the camps of the Thirteenth and the
Thirty-Fifth Michigan.
Besides the location, there is one
thing more new about the present
camp. 1t will be remembered that
heretofore every company had it's tents
placed sngly and on both sides Of the
street the fronts of the tents of each
particular company thus facing one
another. and the back of the tents of
different companies being in close prox-
unity. For better or for worse, this

ELOQUENT WORDS.
Conli.ued from First Page.

Bryan. we lay the cornerstone of
this building and dedicate it as the
home of the greatest fraternal benefi-
ciary organization in the world. Each
age has its peculiar conditions
and its peculiar craftsmanship.
The great spirit of this age is of COM
bination and organization. When
this government was built our fore
fathers lived by themselves, with no
near neighbors. and were marked
with strong individuality, like the
mighty oak. that grows apart and
alone. Today. with steam, electrici-
ty. and crowded population. capital
Is organized and combination is the
order of the hour. Under these con-
ditions. the individual is likely to he
driven To the wall and become help
less against this combination. But
now comes the brightest inspiration
of the nineteenth century in the great
spirit of cooperation. and men reach
out their hands to touch the hands
of their fellowmen. In the Mod
ern Woodmen of America, 800. 900
of the brainiest and strongest men
that the stars have ever shown
upon, join hands for the pro-
lection of the home. to nurse the sick.
to lift the fallen and to bury the dead.
This organization is not composed of
the extremely rich. for they do not
need this kind of insurance; it does
not include the poverty-stricken. for
they are not provident enough to
make provision for their families; but
it enrolls in its ranks that great mid
die class of men. who earn their liv-
ing by their brain and their muscle
men who love their families. and men
who sleep well of nights. because they
have clear consciences and have pro-
tected their loved ones. This great
middle class turns strong arm
against the aggression of combina-
tions and corporate greed and a
frowning face upon communism and
anarchy. Such men are the bulwarks
of the republic: and in them nation
finds its safety when threatened by
the demonstrations of agitation or the
ruin of corruption. The great vital,
life-giving principle of Woodcraft, is
in the fact that it is absolutely gov
erned by its membership. The engi-
neer with his hand upon the throttle
has no more control of his engine
than has the membership of the
Modern Woodmen of America over
its affairs. Every member un,ler-
stands its full workings, knows

it is founded. is acquainted with all

with an indefinite tenure of office and
without accountability to anyone but
themselves; but it is a great fratcrni-
ty that has immediate control,
through its delegates. of the affairs of
the society. If officers become in
competent or corrupt. they are speed
lily displaced and new ones put in
their places. This society possesses
the power of self-preservation and
self-perpetuation. The statistics of
history show that but two or three
fraternal benefit societies have failed
since the foundation of this govern
ment. while the number of mutual in
surance companies without the frater-
nal feature that have failed is very
great. The fraternal insurance order,
once established. seems almost i'm
mortal. The first camp of this soci-
