for a large stock of fall goods. They
want to make room in their store
to receive them. For that reason
they have made every possible ad-
vantage for their customers. They
prefer to keep their stock nice and
fresh. They do so by selling rap
idly. Consequently it will pay
you to look at their bargains. Give
them a chance to please you.

A LESSON IN TACT.
An Instance Of Gentle Consideration
That Comes from the
Oluns.

Almost every large American city has
its ghetto, or Jewish quarter, that
swarms with peddlers, old clothes deal
ers and sweat shops. Mercy is not to
be expected here, and tact is supposed
to be unknown among such people, ex-
cept among traders in selling their
goods. The following incident hap
pened in the Jewish quarter in Boston
last winter, and is worth telling, be-
cause it commends human nature, espe-
cially the human nature found in the
Sums:
A child was born in a short street
where nearly all the signs upon the
stores are printed in Hebrew charac-
tiers. The parents were very poor and
very proud. In the neighborhood was a
Christian mission, and although Jewish
children attended singing and sewing
classes within its doors, some of their
parents preferred to starve rather than
accept its charity, and the family in
which this child was born was one OF
that class. The father and mother PEE
sistently refused all aid, although there
was no coal In the house and no money
for food. Then for some reason, prob
ably pride, they refused help from Peo-
pie of their own religion.
All the jewellers in the neighbour pod
were exceedingly poor, and could i'll
afford to give charity; but here was
starving family and dying babe,
united with stubborn pride, and some
thing had to be done.
So purse was made up by these poor
people out of their petty earnings and
divided into three parts. Each little sum
wasintrustedt to different Jewish trades
men. That same day, one of their mall
tradesmen climbed up to the poverty
stricken tenement, and represented
himself as n coal agent.
"Can l sell you some coal this morn
ing?" he asked, opening the door.
The man shook his head apatheti-
cally.
But" replied the improvised agent
IL gift you drust. One mont-tree mont
all you want. / drust you."
"Ah!" answered the nun with sur.
prise. why do you trust me?"
"You haf a good name," said the
agent. II must Introduce mine PEGS
ness"
Soon load Of coal was on its way t.
the house to warm the mother and hel
infant.
The coal dealer had hardly left before
man from butchers shop near b.
came and repeated the drama Of chart
ty. Then, not long after, followed |
new millman, profuse with offers o
'drust," who promised a quart Of mill
day until the baby could get better
Thus was the family saved from freez
ing and starvation.
| Now, this happened in what is know
as the slums. This delicate way 0
meeting a crisis was not the act of
refined and aristocratic philant hropist
AS the narrator told the writer: II
was the act of dirty Russian ew ped
dlers." One can almost pardon the dir
when such gentle consideration i
shown.--Youth's Companion.

A Powerful Object Lesson.


The war now going on in the
Transvaal between Great Britain
and the Doors, with the total dis
comfture of the British arms
ought to be a powerful object les
son to the ci liens of this county,
who seem resolved on having the
United States embark upon a
policy of expansion, annexation
and conquest of alien countries
and peoples with whom we have
nothing in common. The inn
mense losses which the British are
sustaining in the frequent battles
now taking place in Africa is sac
rificing the flower of British man
hood to the greed of those who
wonld exploit the African conti-
nent for the money there is in it.
There is a great of idle talk on
the part of those who ought to
know better about the advantages
of policy of expansion in extend
ing our commercial interests, and
the claim is made that "trade fell
lows the flag" This is the
sheerest nonsense. We sell more
in a minute to England or Ger
many than we shall ever sell to
the Philippine islands in a year
We have always had good trade
with China, Japan and the Asiatit
islands without owning any terri
tory there. We send 20 Der cen
of our exports to Europe, where
. we own nothing, and we are toda.
