Serge Suits
For Men

vi "AS mer business III
Serge Suits will be bigger than we
guessed. We knew we had bettered
even the excellence of last years
product-same good serges; added
kinks of tailoring. But we had to
depend on your verdict, after all.
We counted up, Saturday, and
find that in spite of long-continued
cool weather, we have sold to date
twice as many serge suits as last year
that is, to be exact, we've only
lacked nine of doubling last year S
sales.
We guarantee all serge suits to be
pure wool; that color will continue
perfect, and that seams are sewed
with silk-and the guarantee runs
until you satisfy yourself. Then,
too, our serge suits keep shape long
est-we put most money in tailoring.

Shirts theSe ohlrtS
comes to US from
Glasgow, where the training of gen.
erations produces the best madras in
the world. The patterns are in a
large variety of stripes and plaids,
in colorings of blue, pink, heliotrope,
white and black.
The making is the between-time
work of our own factory, where our
made-to-order shirts are constructed.
That means splendidly made shirts,
of course, and it also means large
economy in the cost.
These Shirts are in negl:ge style,
very light and fine; made with sep
arate cuffs. Equal shirts, made in
the regular way, would be $3.50;
perhaps in the large quantities we
use we could get the price down to
81. By making them ourselves, we
get the the price down to
Sl.S0 each.

Bethlehem was little among

Mrs. Lew Wallace in the Febru-
airy Ladies' Home journal. 1--WE
are told that probably not over
thirty children fell under the
order of Herod. The murder of
the innocents of the nineteenth
century is a march to untimely
graves, not by order of a wrath
full King, but under what is
claimed to be the best free-school
system in the world. Go into
any public school and you will
see girls pallid as day lilies, and
boys with fiat chests and the
waxen skin that has been named
the school complexion. Every
incentive and stimulus is held
out: dread of blame, love of
praise, prizes, medals, badges,
the coveted flourish in the news

With kindling power Apollo touch'd the sphere

Consorting with the roses.
And shares all all sweets that tree or sod
To bird or bee discloses;
And hand hand with fair Leriope

A lovely, lofty thing, too highly born
To hear shepherds plea except with scorn
Just then, with blushing temples bright,
And lucent vans .quiver,

Nor could the boy forgive her.
To see so fair a rebel to his reign

Mr.. Roberts. "could Roberts have had
for putting himself In such position

The witness said he could not explain
reasons: he repeated that the facts were
as stated.
Mrs Maria McDougall testified that
on July %. 1895. when she was ON q
train, Mt. Roberts and Mrs. Dr, Robert,
travelled on the same train. "onco

itlcs and convention affairs pertaining
to Roberts nomination to Congress. In
1896. while managing the Herald. he had
a conversation with Roberts, In the
course OF which Roberts told him he
had three families Subsequently. In
1895. the witness said. there was an
other conversation prior to the nomin-
ntlng convention, relative to rumors
against Roberts The latter said he
thought this line OF opposition would
not prove effective. as he would court
an attack as to the plurality Of wives.
on REORGANIZATION Mr.. McDaniela

Roberts. Mr.. Roberts asked the wit
ness:

vcrsatlons that Celia Dlbble Roberts

OF the crime Of polygamy, as that crime
had been defined by the Supreme court
MS the taking OF plural wives. thus
making distinction from unlawful CO.
habitation.
Mr.. Mechanics said his retirement
from the Herald was because he did
