Lassiter's Silk Sale.

Lassiter's store has been thronged
by the ladies this week. The special
sale of silks advertised in the GOLD
LEAF to begin Monday was the at
traction. Many beautiful patterns
have been sold but the stock has not
been exhausted by any means. There
are plenty more-and they are just
as pretty as any that have been Sc
lected. But perhaps the most attrac-
tive thing about these silks at LASH
ter's is the price. They were bought
at a figure that admits of their being
sold at prices that give purchasers
a pleasing surprise. An invitation
is extended the ladies to go and see
these goods whether they want to
buy or not.

Now that the secret of Japan's abil-

she is able to reap the benefit Of that

detail such as has never before come
within the observation Of man. This
is best exemplified by the constant
and all embracing tact which is exer
cised by an army on the march. This
wise provision is not the offspring Of
sudden imperative need as it arises,
but is the result Of long and exhautiye
experiment and training. During the
years when Japan was preparing for
the final adjustment of her differences

her military experts to familiarize the
army with every situation which was
likely to arise Both officers and sol

Bought a Farm to own a Tree.


Ali the country knows Elthu Root,
the lawyer, man of affairs, and cabinet
officer, but there are less-known sides
to his makeup which are, perhaps,
more indicative Of the man himself,
and which are, too. more interesting
for the very reason that they are less
appreciated. For instance, he is
enough of a 3entimentalist to have
bought a farm that he might own a
certain tree.
He was born in Cabinet Hall, one
of the buildings Of Hamilton College,
New York, where his father, Oren
Root. was q professor. In his boyhood
years the two used to take long walks
together, and, time and again, on their
homeward way, it. was under a splen-
did hemlock on Kirkland FarI,, that
they would rest. The hilltop com
manded a magnificent view of the
Oriskany Valley, across to the Adiron-
dacks to the north, and often the elder
of the pedestrians would say, as they
started on again: II wish / owned
that tree"
In riie years since there have been
many changes az Hamilton and in the
country round about. but the old hem
lock has remained untouched-and the
other day Elihu Root bought kirkland
Farm and the tree which, he declares,
has long been a landmark in his life
