All the Time?

There's surely a reason for the crowds that
visit us daily-for the unprecedented growth
of this business Perhaps it's the Tact that
every day is bargain day, or our stocks are
more attractive, or countless other good
reasons. One thing is certain-"The Peoples

everyone.

A Costly Comma.

A number of years ago when the
United States by its congress was max
Ing a tariff bill one of the sections
enumerated what articles should be adj
mitted free Of duty. Among the many
articles specified were ''all foreign fruit
plants" etc, meaning plants imported
for transplanting, propagation or ex-
pertinent. The enrolling clerk in copy
ing the bill accidentally changed the
hyphen in the compound word fruit
plants TO a comma, making 1t read,
"all foreign fruits. plants" etc. AS a
result of this simple mistake for a
year, or until congress could remedy
the blunder, all the oranges, lemons,
bananas, grapes and other foreign
fruits We're admitted free of duty. This
little mistake, which any one would be
liable TO make, yet could have avoided
by carefulness, cost the government
not less than 100000. A pretty cost
ly comma that.

Al cnmedinn,. LnI.n.

A celebrated Irish comedian went in
TO a BARRIERS shop to get shaved and,
finding the barber out, he determined
TO have a little fun before his return.
So he took Off his coat, put on q thin.

Der
The old gentleman took a chair and
the comedian began to lather, expect
ing every moment the barber would
appear. Five minutes passed and no
barber. Five more and still no barber.
The joker began to get desperate and
conceived bright idea. Putting up
his brush he quickly changed his coat
again, took his hat, and was about to
quietly step out behind the gentle
mans back when that worthy turned
his head and exclaimed:
Here, sir, aren't you going to shave

Then he bolted out Of the door, leav-

Gentle Hint to Restaurant Patron,

The necessity Of tipping with law

of the dining room, with two clients

Cling into his overcoat, while two
walters stand near him. the one smil-

fierce contempt. On the opposite side
of the room a guest is seen surrounded
by three walters, one helping him with
his coat, another brushing his hat, the
third bowling obsequiously and holding
his walking stick.
The moral is obvious, but allowance
is made for the proverbial obtuseness
of northern nations, and underneath

First book Auction.

Speaking of auctions and auctioneers,
book dealer says: THE first book
auction in England of which we have
any record is of date as far back as
1915, when the library of DR.. Seaman
was brought to the hammer. Prefxed
to the catalogue there is an address
which thus begins: Reader, it hath not
been usual here in England to make
sale of books by way OF auction, or
who will give the most for them; but,
1t having been practiced in other coun-
tries to the advantage Of both buyers
and sellers, 1t was therefore conceived
flor the encouragement of learning) to
publish the sale of these books in this
manner of way"

When London In Silent

When a very dense fog settled over
the Thames valley few Sundays ago
and most densely over London it i'm.
posed complete silence on animal life,
London was itself as silent as the
grave, for all traffic was stopped, and,
as on Sunday traffic of any kind is re-
duced to a minimum, the great city
was almost as still as a country vii
lage at midnight. The streets and even
the river were almost without sound,
for not a single tug was moving on
the Thames. In the country no bird
uttered a sound. They all sat still, ST.
lent and moping.

Tote F air"

The expression is employed in the south to indi-
cate about what Roosevelt means when he speaks of a
''square DEAL"
TO tote fair is to do the right thing
And 1t may be said that the hope of the future largely
bound up in the inherent desire of the Anglo Saxon race
for fair play There standards of equity that we must
by every means hang onto.
As for instance:
unfair methods who soops to dirty tricks looked upon
fair.
The athlete who takes advantage of the rules of sport
is barred from the game. He does not tote fair.
Even the prize fighter not allowed to strike below the
belt He not permitted foul blow. He must tote fair
Now
If this desire for fair play and of fairness be
carried over into the commercial world shall have
standard that will count for much
When a business takes unfair advantages by Sc
curing special privileges denied his competitor he should
be looked upon with He should be socially
cised He has not toted fair.
Let it be recognized that achieved by unfair
methods is only successful failure There will be less
crowding out of competitors Let it be felt and talked
about that the business who makes fortune by
ceving rebates denied his rival has not toed fair and
there will be less of it.
And herein is the value of publicity concerning the
ways that dark employed by trusts and corporations
1t breeds scon of unfair play.
Way down deep in the heart of Americans is love of
fairness.
Every must have his chance-an open field has O
favor Every must tote fair The condemnation that
follows revelation of unfaness is hopeful feature.

The Presidents Vacation

One of the secrets of the unusual popularity of Pres
dent Roosevelt is revealed in his unusual way of spending
his vacation
Roosevelt has the spirit of true democracy He is not
afraid of sacrificing the dignity of high Office by associa
ton with Tom and Dick and Harry.
There is about him the spirit of comraderi witnessed
by of presidents since Lincoln. He is spenddly
human And this quality puts him in touch with all man
of men.
The president is at home wherever his hat is off
When the conventions require evening dress and
ous wellhred courtesy he easily fills all requirements
And then like the ghtnng change artist he with
equal facility and ease corduroy trousers, leggns and
sombrero and the buckng broncho With rare adaptable
fly he identifies himself with all sorts of peope-content
easy going, happy.
Nor does he pose. His attitude is not strained. He is
not artificial. He is genuine and hearty.
At bottom President Roosevelt believes in the simple
life The gaud of aristocracy do not attract him. He lives
the sane and simple life of American gentleman who
while observing the amenities of social Gfe believes and
practices the beliefs of broadest democracy.
That is why the is held in such personal esteem
Americans rather proud of this American chief who
hold his among the select and who grace

decisive events of modern history. II
it does not end the war it fore
shadows the result from this mo-
ment the struggle on the part or
Russia is hopeless. and the powers
viii b warranted IN insisting that
the carnage shall cease.
The pretensions OF Russia in the
far east are overthrow. 1t has
been the ambition of the group of
men who have shaped the later policy
of the empire to make of Russia a
great oriental power. That policy
separated her in interest and sym
pathy from the other European
states; there was no friendship in
their alliances; the democratic drift
in all the other European nations was
utterly abhorrent to them, the abso-
lutism in church and state for which
they stood was Asiatic rather than
European in its ruling idea
Therefore Russia has been eagerly
seeking to plant her standards on the
Pacific. With Manchuria under her
feet, and Korea made her vassal. the
pressure which she could exert upon
China would be almost irresistible.
None Of the other powers could com
pete with her in the strife for the
partition or the domination of that
moribund empire. Through China and

CIVILIZATION.
Japan is far better equipped for
this leadership than any Of the Euro
pean nations, and there Is good rea-
son for believing that she will accept
this task with a large sense of her
responsibility, not only for the we'll
being of the people Of China. but also
for the peace and welfare of the
civilized world.
AS to her designs upon the Philip
pines. there is not, probably, a shadow
or reason for any such fear. 1t Is
not likely that Japan wants the Phil
ippines; whether she does or not, she
may be trusted to respect the rights
of her best friends
There can not be mucn doubt that
England and the United States will
be the closest allies Of Japan; there
may be no formal compacts, on this
side there can not be: but the inter-.
ests and the sympathies of these ma
lions will draw them close together;
they are almost sure to have a good
understanding, and the policy in
which they are likely to unite will,
we may trust. be fraught with large
benegts to all the people of the east.
japan Is already in spirit and char
acter II not In creed, a Christian ma
ton; her close association with Eng
land and the United States is likely
to strengthen existing tendencies to-
ward the adoption of some form of
liberal Christianity. Her great SOL
der Oyama and her great sailor Togo
are, l understand, Christian believers
the religion which is gooG enough for
these heroes is likely to be thought
good enough for millions Of the Jap
anese.
With these three great nations
standing together for the integrity
of China, for the freedom of trade,
and the policy of the open door. great
things are likely to come to pass in
the east before the end Of the TWEEN,
tieth century.
