Our Big and Beautiful Stock of Calendars at Re-
 duced Prices

Our stock of 1902 calendars is very large and some of the calen- dars are quite expensive. In the matter of prettiness and beauty they are far ahead of anything that we have eyer shown in calendars; the prices at which they are now marked are fair prices. And there would be no reduction were they anything else but calendars calendars have to be sold before the new year dawns-after that they are not worth l0c on the S1.00 from the retailers standpoint, and so with the far seeing that marks our every policy, we make a gen eraI reduction of one-thiid off on all marked 45c or more on all calendars-now that will make them sell so quickly that there won't be a calendar here on the first of January.
 Taking no profit now is better than losing money January first.

THE COURIER.
ENGLAND IN CHINA.
The Large Hold that the British Have
Gained at Important Points in the
Celestial Empire.

Great Britain is further in China al.
ready than any other power. The facts
are sensational when taken together.
The British have most OF the trade in
strong ports where they have put up
handsome buildings, and they have
most OF the concessions. 1t is the ex-
pectation that British capital will play
the largest part in the modernization Of
China. Mr.. Frank G. Carpenter. who
has been in that part Of the world for
some time. contributes to this weeks
issue Of The S ,turday Evening Post an
article giving the most recent facts Of
the situation. He says:
.'Fhe English are doing the most Of
the foreign banking for China. They
get percentage on the greater part of
the quarter Of billion dollars used in
its foreign trade. They have made the
Chinese government loans up to the
last four or five years; the first two loans
at the close Of the Chinese Japanese
war, each amounting to sSO.OOO,OOO hav-
ing been placed with the Erglish and
Germans. There is one English bank
in China which has deposits of tsOO0O,-
600. 1t pays SIX per cent on deposite,
notwithstanding this. declares big divi-
dends. In a recent transaction it made
a clear profit Of $1,000. 900, and it's stock
is now two hundred per cent above par.
There are, in round numbers, about
l3,42l foreigners in China. do not in
clude the soldiers called in by the pres
ent war. OF these foreigners more
than 5000 are English, 1000 Americans,
loo Germans, 800 French, 16O Danes,
400 Spanish, $50 Italians, 1000 Portu-
guese, and LOO Japanese. More than
two-thirds of the Americans are mis-
sioDaries.
"A look at what the English are do
ing at the different ports will show
whether they are profitable or unprofi-
table servants. They surely have not
wrapped their talent in a napkin and
buried it in the sand. They have made
the open ports modern European cities.
They are every where the leaders in
society, education and business"
