These elegant Indian Summer days when a

A month from you will be wearing furs or

what you have under them Suits were never
SO pretty as they are this season. and never as
tasty and dressy for moderate money. Our Suit
stock hasn't garment that is duplicated in any

OF their own and are made by the three leading
suit makers of America, and yet you can get
handsome effects at $40. 90 and s25 90, $4,000
and SIS. o. $40. 90 and $500, and fine costumes
at $500 to $500 We court comparisons. If
you are customer of Department Store and

no more outlay. If you have traded at some
Dry Goods store that has Cloak Department

you can't afford to buy Suit without seeing our

A BOGUS GHOST IN PARIS.
How He Trioked Merchant Into earins
 Him Money.

M. Cordier, retired merchant of Paris much given to consulting spirits in emergencies, has been tricked in rather amusing manner by an amateur ghost, who resided in rooms contigu- ous to those of the ex-business man. says the London Telegraph. The lat Ser lately told friends and acquaint- ances that he had melancholy mes sage frana spiritland to the effect that his son, who traded in Tonqutu, had been murdered by pirates. The dis honest neighbor, hearing this, knocked one night at M. Cardier's wall, and an- nounced that he was spirit who wanted money for masses to be said in certain church for the repose Of the soul of the retired merchants son. 4 sum of 160 francs was required, and the phantom asked M. Cordier to be good enough to put 1t under the first chair on the left side Virgins altar in the church of Saint Su1pice. It ap- pears that M. Cordier deposited sev- sral donations for the ghost under the chair, and the money was regularly taken away In the meantime, the son supposed to be dead came home from Tonquin unharmed and unhurt. The young man had, in fact, no adven- ture with pirates, and was engaged in very prosaie business ma sters during bis stay in the far east The son laid a trap one night for the gNost, who was invited by Cordier senior to walk into his flat in the dark. No sooner had the spirit entered the room than he received blow on the head from big stick brandished by the traveller from Tonquin. The guilty phantom fled, but was pursued down the stairs and into the street by father and son. The spirit r-oved to be very sub- stantial adyenturer, who was recog- nized by the police as a person much wanted for acts of swindling of a di- versifled and in some instances of very ingenious sort.

It is the aisaasa die acc If civ,,,7 ,7ation, increasing ip numbers with the prog1 sSS oi olf ii.1@- tion. Germany, where ciyilIzs.. on nav reached the highest point on earth, is the bIackest spot tn this respect. It Is the same story as you proceed from the less to the more liberal creed. Nnere the population of a community is made up purely of the Russian church there are 40 suicides to the mil- lion; where the people are purely of 1he Catholic faith there are 5S to tho million; in Protestant communities shere are 190 to the million. External conditions appear to have much to do with the act, There are more suicides .n wet weather than in dry, more by night than by day. more on moonlight nights than on dark nights, and there are three times more men to die by their own acts than women. can- not sit in judgment on those who have done this deed; I cannot enter into their inner life, But warn all who think of freeing themselves from this life that they. have no right to do it.

aounoi', Lost opera.

Few people are aware that Gounod once, In a moment 6f anger, tore up the manuscript of an opera he had composed, and. though he afterwards repented 6 his action, he was qu'te unable to recall it's melodies. Gounod's s opera Faust was nearly lost to the world by the religious scruples of ths great composer. About the time he wrote it he determined henceforth only to write sacred music, but, happily for posterity, he thought better of his reso- lution.

An Eusraordlnar, Occurrence.

An extraordinary occurrence was re- ported in Leicester. England, recently. Special intereession services for sol- diers fighting in South Africa are be- ing held daily in Broughton Astley church. While the bell was being rung, however, and the congregation enter ing the church, strange visitor ar- rived. It appeared that the Atherstone hounds had met at Ullesthorpe, found two foxes at Fro1esworth Gorse, and followed one across the fields to Broughton Astley Here the fox, being hard pressed. and seeing the church door open, sought sanctuary there. but the hounds, being close to his heels, followed him into the church, caught him, and there and then dispatched him.

A Unique River.

Unique In it's kind is no doubt the
Mocona waterfall in the South Ameri-
can republic of Uruguay, situated
about two miles below the mouth Of
the Piperi Assn river into the Uru-
quay. A great rock divides the river
into two separate streams in such a
manner that the right arm continues
it's flow on the original level, while
the second arm falls gradually, so that
it finally lies % feet below the level
of the other arm. The bed of the up
per part Of the river is not very deep,
and the water flows partly in a right
angle to the river, thus forming a wa
terfall of more than two miles in
length.
This unique view presents itself to
the traveller, however, only during the
winter, for in the summer, and espe-
cially during the rainy season, the
Uruguay contains such immense guam
titles of water that both arms form
one single stream, navigable even for
the largest freight steamers. The fall
has been known for centuries, and a
description of it was published as early
as 1851 by the Rev. Antonius Sepp, a
missionary from Tyrol. who spent over
20 years among the Indians of Uru-
quay.

A SLUMBER SONG.

Sleep, my beloved To sleep and dream is best
The night to us is peace, the day unrest,
For day, while parted, brings to us but pain;
In dreams we live the dear past DER again.
We weep not in our sleep;
Our tears for the day,
Which smiles, while but weeH.
For thou art far away.
flushed be the voices of the garish day,
Its frets and cares and sorrows swept away;
Forgotten quite the interval of years
Since last we met, with all their bitter tears.
Sleep, love. To dream is best.
Our waking is but pain;
In sleep alone we rest
And live the past again.
Sleep my dear love, and be thy dreams of me!
Waking or sleeping still think of thee,
But dreams make present time of all the past
The night restores thee-would my dreams might
last
Dream, dear, till the day breaks
And earthly shadows fee,
Where morn to grief meier wakes
And be one with thee.
