THE LEADER
IS BOOMING
OPENING FOR THE
FURNITURE AND CARPET DE-
PARTMENTS LAST NIGHT.
Music, Flowers and Myriad Lights
Lend Beauty to Ravishing Scenes
of Richness in Display of the Pro-
ducts of Some of the Finest Looms
in the Eastern Factories.

The Leader was the center of the
pilgrimage of the bargain lovers to the
city last night, and right well did it
deserve every word OF praise heard
from those who, having fought their
way through the crowds, and pushed
their way from M point to another,
found the trip so full of loneliness,
albeit there was some inconvenience
from the press, and they did not hest
tate to say that seldom had the hand
some store Dom of the Leader been
handsomer or the stock more brilliant
or more brilliantly displayed. There
certainly was cause for praise from
those who had come to see, and there
was cause for co~ngratulation on the
part of Mr.. Frazee and his efficient
corps of gallant statesmen and hand
some salesladies.
A Handsome Display.
The whole southern half of the low
err floor of the large store at the cor
per of Second and Grand avenue was
given up to a display of the goods OF
the furniture, carpet and drapery de-
partments, The shelving containing
the dress goods served as display
points for as fine a line of rugs, por-
there's, carpets and draperies as yer
came to the crest of the mountain.
The buyer for the store certainly has
earned his money in laying in a stock
that Is sure to please all tastes in Lar
annie.
Comments by One Who Knows.
BY the way, speaking of taste, it is
well to quote a lady present last night
who has spent much time in the east
ern trade centers, where the merchants
are presumed to have stocks of goods
that would shine by the side of those
here as a thirty-two candle power in
candescent lamp shines beside the tai
low dip of other days: 81 have seen
some splendid displays of carpets and
rugs in my time" she said, but | give
Mr.. Frazee credit for the handsomest l
ever saw in Laramie-the h~andsomest
| eve saw in the state, and a display
that would do credit for richness,
choice selection and marvellous har-
mony, with any l ever saw in the
cities, size being considered"

succeeded in making the display
unique in that it combined beauty with
utility, and while few looked at the
price marks, many a good housewife
went home feeling that her floors
would shine respondent as soon as
the material can be cut and fitted.
There were carpets aid rugs for every
room in the house, from the parlor in
the mansion TO the tiny bedroom for
the little daughter. and with the car
pets were draperies of all kinds, max
ing the furnishings of the room to
harmonic from the tiniest piece to the
largest.
Furniture Always Pleasing.
In the second story, which is given
up to the furniture, there was a mar
velously rich display, taking in the
costly and handsomely patterned
pieces and not forgetting the really
useful for him whose purse sort of re-
bells at mahogany n ebony. The
line this year is h~andsomer, many say.
than ever before, both in finish and
design, and Mr.. FraZee succeeded in
arranging the display to bring out the
very best effects of every piece. What
a pleasure there is in the very look of
a piece of furniture-the soft, smooth
feel of the high polish, the simmer
and sheen of the lights reflected in
the glossy surfaces, the smell of var
nish and paint, the very air of ease
and comfort at the sight of a deep,
cushioned chair, whose depths tend to
a feeling Of repose.
Trappings for the Window.
The draperies are along among the
finest ever collected for a western
store, and embrace some of the pat
terms heretofore used exclusively in
the east. They are coming to the
west and Mr.. Frazee was fortunate to
be the first to bring some of the pref
tiest designs and handsomest patterns
for the furnishing of the homes of
this city. The display was rich both
in quality and quantity, and will meet
almost any demand. There are few
things a woman thinks more of than
pretty curtains. n she will have lit
tie difficulty in meeting her ideas of
perfection in such things at the
Leader.
Music Fills the Niche.
The store was decked in flowers, a
glow of light came from the many
lamps, Niethe's orchestra filled the air
with "a melody of sweet sounds and
there was charm and relief and rest
in every part of the large rooms. That
many ladies were present is not to be
wondered at, but that, seemingly, near.
ly everyone in the city took the pains
to come down town is full of satisfac-
ton to Mr.. FraZee and his well pleased
corps, and will result in good to the
store. 1t was a treat for the seeker
after the beautiful and many a home
will be trimmed with beauty and com
fort as a result of the elegant display,
the delightful evening and the saga
cious business acumen shown in get
ting so many future buyers in touch
with the products of the pest the fac

MEMORIES OF THE PAST.
The Day Intended for Appropriate
Commemoration Of the Deeds
Of Heroes.

Memorial day was founded that
there might be a few hours in each
year set aside for the appropriate
commemoration Of the deeds Of men
who had been killed while serving the
country in the army or navy or who
had died since having so served. For
number of years it was generally
and suitably observed. Then in some
places it ceased to be observed at all.
In many 1t was given up to bicycle
and horse racing and other sports and
festivities.
Diversions Of this kind have been
widely and properly protested against
as dissertations Of the day. The pro.
tests seem to have had some effect
for observance of the occasion prom.
ises to be not only more general this
year than usual but also more appro.
pirate.
Contemplation of the courageous and
self-sacrlficing patriotism exhibited by
past generations is to little purpose
II 1t do not Undue their successors
with purpose to emulate them.
The men Of to-day have confronting
them questions almost as difficult as
any which have yet been dealt with,

their appreciation OF what the fathers
accomplished is by resolving to so
about their work as citizens with tho
same courage and In the same spirit
