NEW STORE OPENED.
Noyes @ Co. Opened Their Doors fol
Business Yesterday.

Yesterday marked the opening OF Noyes
and Co.. in their new quarters at 20l and
2oe East Douglas avenue The opening
was not one of music and flowers but a
simple opening of doors for business
after weeks of preparation in remodeling
the room. installing new fixtures and
placing an entirely new stock OF goods
on the shelves in shape for trade.
When the doors opened early yesterday
morning everything was in readiness for
a big days business. New Clerks were
waiting in their places behind the coun-
tiers and all day long a crowd of busy
people poured in and out of the big doors
of the store room, many making pur-
chases and others merely going out OF
curiosity. The display windows had been
artistically decorated and attracted the
attention of the people on the street dur
ing the day. Inside the display was even
more attractive than the one in the win
dow. Everything was new. The fixtures
were fresh and clean, the walls newly
papered and painted, and a stock that
had never been touched. The room is
well lighted and showed off the stock
TO the best advantage.
The first days business was marked
by a special sale of suits. cloaks and
gloves. the stocks of which had been con-
veniently arranged for the inspection OF
the public. A polite and efficient force
OF clerks waited upon the customers in
a manner that was pleasing TO all. and
while the opening was very simple II was
one of the most successful ever given in
the city.

CHURCH AUDITORIUM
To Be UNDERGROUND
First Methodist, of Chicago, Thinks
Services Would Thus Be
Made Popular.

CHICAGO. H., Nov. then the
First Methodist Church. Clark and
Washington Streets. Is ready to improve
its valuable property. II IL likely the
city Will be treated to a sensation in the
shape Of q church underground.
For a long time the trustees had no
other idea than to put the new audience
room In the second or third story, and Il
was not until the idea OF putting il un-
derground had been urged on Them that
they began to admit the advantages OF
such an arrangement.
They found that such an audience
room would be cool In summer and
warm In winter; that its novelty would
attract many visitors in the city, and
above all. that Il would be quiet. There
are times when the noises of the streets
suspend the services In the present au-
dience room. especially when bands OF
music parade. The final advantage is
that IL would make a whole floor avail
able for renting purposes that otherwise
would be devoted to an auditorium.

A Trained SIonkey.

A woman tells of monkey which
she saw while in Paris which was
so well trained In good manners that
it was almost impossible to believe that
he did not understand what was said to
him. The Japan Weekly Mail de-
scribes the animals accomplishments
When the woman met the monkey
suddenly on the stairs one day, the
creature stood in the corner to allow
her TO pass, and when she said, Good
morning. he took off his cap and
bowed.
Are you going awayY she asked.
Where is your passport?" Pulling off
his cap, he took from the crown a
paper, opened 1t and showed it to her.
When some one observed that her
dress was dusty, the courteous monkey
took a brush from the table and care
fully brushed her dress and then her
shoes.
When any one gave him food he al
ways made a low bow before taking it
and then ate 1t slowly and daintily. He
had been taught to eat eggs with a
spoon and to use a knife and fork He
could lock and unlock drawer, thread
a needle, uncork bottle and polish his
masters shoes. He seemed to take
great pleasure in gay company and
paid close attention to the converse
ton, looking ~ turn at each speaker
as If he understood what was said.
This remarkable monkey was never
placed on exhibition. He died at an
early age of pneumonia.
