of Broadcloth

The reasons for Broadcloth

the high lustrous finish, the en-

the grace and simmer of satin.
For years we have been selling

Germany and France; for years
we have been selling them at less
than their prices elsewhere.
That's no reflection on other

Japanese Advice for Women.

The following extracts are taken
from a code OF morals for the women
of Japan, which was published some
years ago:
1T is better for women to have a
good mind than beautiful appear
ance.
Parents must be on guard lest thier
daughters see or hear any evil thing
A woman must not chatter nor SLAM
der any one nor tell lie. When she
hears any slander she must not repeat
it. for this causes disputes among fam
lilies.
"A wife must not waste her money
in expensive clothing, but must dress
according to her income. Her orna-
ments and clothing must not be splen-
did, but neat and clean. so that she
will not cause people to remark She
should dress according to her rank.
Though a woman may have many
servants, il is a rule that she should
manage the house herself."-New
York News.

At the time of the suicide there

and the cook. The only son who is
now at home, Mr.. William Carr. had
left but a few minutes before for the

with the bath room. in a kneeling po
sition with blood streaming from his

breathed his last. He never uttered
word after the leaden messenger of
death was fired into his brain. Coro-
ner Maddry was summoned and exam
ined into the facts surrounding his
death. but an inquest was not deemed
necessary and the body was turned
over TO the undertaken.
FAILURE OF HEALTH THE CAUSE.
There is no doubt but that failing
health and melancholia caused by his
physical condition ceused him to take
the rash step. For three months or
more he had been greatly depressed
and did not seeem like his former
self. He was detected and care-worn.
Several times he expressed himself as
wishing that the end would come so
that he could pass away from his
sufferings. No one. however. ant.cipat-
ed that he would take his own life.
The dead man was last seen alive
by his son. When Mr.. Will Carr
started to the hosiery mill about $50
O'Clock. he saw his father. who was
in his night clothes and going towards
the bath room.
The position of the dead man when
found was such as TO leave no doubt
but that he knelt in prayer and then
fired the fatal shot.
