We now run this depart

There was a time. when
no matter how hot it got, no
matter how much of the sum-.

This is Written to Call the
Attention of Those Un-
acquainted with Ad-
vantage of Read
ing Our
advertiS ing
And to Point out the Phil
osophy of Our Adyertis-
ing so They May En-.
Joy its Benefits.

To say that our advertising is
more important than any other
news in the paper might be saying
too much.
To saw that it is less important
Is surely saying too little.
Our advertising concerns news
that tells you how to make your
dollar goes farthest.
By reading it regularly you may
keep informed of the different pur-
chases we make and the leSs-than-
usual price at which we sell.
II concerns both things for per-
sonal wear or home use. There is
very little indeed that you or your
husband or your family do not
wear or need that we cannot sup
ply.
1t always pays to read our ads,
and reasoning from induction, take
this case of:
The June Wash Goods Sale.
Unless you had read our ads and
learned about the sale you might
have gone elsewhere and paid SO
per cent more for identical mater
ialS.
The reason you buy here
for less, is because nearly every
one reads our store news, patron
ICES our sales, and so we are able
to buy many times more than other
stores that lack our capacity for
selling.
And then, if we may be par
doned for saving so, our advertls-
ing never varies from the actual
truth-no coloring-no yielding to
the temptation to say 5000 yards
of Wash Goods when there is only
20O0 There is wonder in the pur-
chase of 1000 yards.
So while we need not claim as a
virtue, honesty, we do as policy.
Long ago we learned that people
rely implicitly on what we say
in our advertising. We would no
more think of misrepresenting in
our advertising than we would If
we were talking to You in person
than if we hEttonholed you on the
street and told you of special
sale and the facts connected with
it. You not only would not qIes'
ton our veracity, but actino upon
knowledge of the sale, attend ii.
Do the ~1me thing when we
speak t. yo in our advertise.
mentS.
It's just as personal.
It's just as honest. sincere, and
free from exaggeration as if we
were talking it over on your front
porch at home.

young men don't pass many hours IN the
cafes now as they did twelve years ago. They
come here for half an hour before dinner
Ihey sit down and take a sip Of vermouth-
very seldom absinthe-or drink glass of beer
Then they play cards and go off to dinner"
The students take much more exercise now
than ever before. Tennis, cycling. football
Fencing and boxing are followed more keenly
than hitherto. All out of door sports have had
| an immense impetus during the last five years
owing to the efforts of Baron Pierre de Couoer-
TN, president Of the Inter national Olympic
Games; OF Niscomte Leon de jane, president OF
the Puteaux Island Club, and of NJ. Jusserana,
the newly appointed French Ambassador to
Washington, who is typical French university
man. NJ. Jusserand is familiar with university
| life at Oxford and Cambridge, and has widely
disseminated in France the advantage OF ath-
letic pastimes.
NJ. Emile Faguet says that field sports have
| now become a craze and appeals to the stu
dents for a reaction in favor Of the national
game or billiards. The veteran Academician con
sders that proficiency in billiards is essential for
every literally educated Frepchman. Louis XIV
| was a skilful billiard player, and Presidents
Grevy and Felix Faure followed his example
The forty fmInortals of the French Academy
play bnIiards-some Of them well, others lndIf-
ferently, and few badly, but they all play it
| cording to NJ. Faguet billiards imparts TO the
habitual player "dehcacy OF touch. nicely OF
calculation, patience, perseverance, foresight
and diplomacy"
There should be library cafe country
house without a billiard table. Billiards supplies
the best form Of exercise for middle aged men
and women, especially on rainy days. The Queen
Regent of Spain is remarkable billiard player,
and thereby shows her sound common sense,
says NJ Faguet. He appeals to French youths
to participate in his crusade for the revival OF
the once popular game, the abandonment OF
which he regards national calamity
Notwithstanding the enthusiasm OF the ever
green Academcian, the opinion of the masses
of the students and of the younger professors
Of the University of Paris is that the game OF
billiards has fallen into rretreVable decadence
from which the rising generation OF French
youths show no inclination to rescue it. Second
hand shops and public auctions fully bear out
this theory. for nowadays no object OF furni-

BILLIARDS IN FRANCE.
STEADY DECREASE IN THE NUMBER OF
PLAYERs-oUTDOOR SPORTS MUCH
MORE PATRONIZED THAN
FORMERLY.
Paris, September 9.

Paris, September y.
The once popular game Of billiards is gradu-
ally dying cut not only in Paris, but through
out France. N. Emile Faguet, Of the French
Academy, who is in close touch with the ten
denotes OF youthful France, has made an in
vestigation IN regard to the statistics of bill
iards which during the Second Empire at
tanned the proportions Of a national game. The
fiscal statistics show that the number Of bill
lard tables taxed in France in the year 1889 was
over sc 000 This fell in the year 1902 to $4,000.
The decrease has been steady and gradual, and,
as NJ Faguet points out, is the rate of five
hundred billiard tables a year, and indicates
that each year the proportion of Frenchmen
who abandon billiards is one and half each
day 4 walk along the Boulevard St Michel,
with occasional visits to the most attractive
cafes, fully bore out NJ. Faguets observations.
In twenty-five cafes the number Of billiard
tables had been reduced from three to two.
Nowadays il is only old or middle aged
customers who ask to play billiards. said the
proprietor Of a prominent cafe near the Rue
Soufflot, which in former times was q favorite
rendezvous for the knights Of the cue. 1.-THE
young men, especially the students, call for
cards and play piquet or poker but it is seldom
that they start game Of billiards. unless it be
an occasional pool"
do you mean that cards have taken the place
Of billiards."
mo. I think cycling has injured the taste for
billiards more than anything else. You see,
