earnest and ceaseless effort on the part of Hamilton & Co. The present fruition of their hopes and aspirations has come from the large and loyal patronage which has rewarded their efforts and which will now undoubtedly be deser- vedly earned through this most popular firms earnest endeavors to please the people.
 MT. Hamilton. the senior member of the firm, when asked by a reporter to what he attributed the great success which has crowned the flrn's endeavors said that the rapid growth was prin- cipally due to the following four fac tors: l, The inviolable rule of selling only goods of a reliable character. 2, Pricing everything in the store in plain figures. 3, Money back without ques- tion, if goods are not satisfactory. 4, Selling no furs under assumed or fancy names. In reference to this last factor, MT. Hamilton added that fiirs, like dia- monds, are priced according to quality and selection, and call for absolute con- fidence in the firm of which you buy.

 Each year since that time through their just and courteous treatment of the public and their enterprise, the necessi-
 ty for more space to meet the ever in-
 creasing demand for a larger supply
 and a greater variety of goods, has be-
 come apparent. This need from time to
 time has been partly met by remodel ing the store. takinfi space above tnd utilizing space below. As all the extra space in their present quarters has now become exhausted this year when their neighbor was anxious to relinquish his lease the firm took it at his own figures. This large adjoining store and the firms present store, both thrown into enc, will give Hamilton & Co, the larg- est and finest stablishnent of the kind in New England.
 It is not the intention of the com pany to open any new departments. The
 increased space will be used for the fur

These messages were in the form of
tablets. written in the Persian Ian
guage.
Among other rulers he addressed were
Pope Leo, for whom he predicted the
loss of temporal power; Queen Victoria,
whCm he admired for her attitude to-
ward the abolition Of slavery; Napoleon
III, and Car Alexander II. Alexander
and Victoria were the only sovereiSns
who deigned a reply.
When Napoleon read his tablet. he is
said TO have thrown it contemptuously
away. saying, IF this man be God.
then am I two gods" on hearing this
the Beha wrote another tablet, pro-
phecying the loss of his kingdom. which
was verified by the Franco-German war.
Successful predictions like these have
greatly strengthened the belief of his
followers.

distinguished parentage in Gulpaygan,
a small Peruvian town, in 1874. the very
year the Bah declared himself His
father was an earnest and erudite doc
tor of the Shiite sect of Mohamme-
danism, and young Mira was reared
in that faith.
AS an instance Of his learning. il is
told of him that, while in Isfahau. in
1866 while but twenty-five years Of age.
a student took TO him for criticism the
then newly issued Arabic dictionary en-
titled, ''Frooz-Abadi," containing some
!, 400 pages. After an examination OF enc

information that the only faults We're

The teachings OF the Beha cover a wide
