 l am always glad to get home though l
 enjoy the trip and am interested in the
 new things l see. .s~x -
 A few days ago I received from The
 D. M. Read Co. the invitation to visit
 their store on the occasion of their ff-
 tieth anniversary, together with the finely printed book that gives brief history of the firm. When my wife and l were married 40'years ago we bought our parlor carpet from Hall & Read. It was very handsome brussels with pink roses and it cost $2a yard. In about 15 years my wife thought it a little old fashioned, thought it seemed in good condition. so we bought a new carpet from Hall & Read, and put the old one on the spare bedroom. And all through the years we have bought many things from D. M. Reads.
 It was such fine weather we came down this week and found the store all dressed up in white and gold, like a golden jubilee. l watched the carriages and automobiles roll by and discharge their occupants, and they came by the hundreds. Last December l was down here in a snowstorm and it was just the same. compared it with the old store, the number one down Main street, and except for the immense size and the greater number of clerks, the spirit of the store is just the same. l suppose it is a Hall & Read spirit that continues. 1 have compared it with other large stores, but it appears to stand alone in its possession of friendliness and welcome to every person who comes in, with or without the intention of buying. l spent a whole afternoon walking about and talking with those clerks who were not busy, and the establishment is like a great exposition of merchandise grouped according to the utility and needs of the public. There are gather ings of useful productions from all over the world.
 saw rugs that came from Turkey and Persia, and on the same floor with them are rugs that are designed and woven by the Reads right here in Bridgeport. There are carpets, too, as handsome as those l bought years ago and not nearly so expensive.
 Fine furs that come from little ami mals trapped in the snowy north on the

frozen steppes of Canada or Siberia.
 There are silks from China. Japan,
 France and Italy. and what is most
 wonderful to me. l was told at the
 silk counter that American silks com
 pare well with those of foreign coun-
 tries. and they are as honest as any
 silks woven.
 There are laces that make one think of the patient fingers that made them and the long, long time it took to make flower or an arabesque.
 l spent pleasant hour among the china and art wares. Of course in a museum one finds many wonderful things. but this is better, as all the things are useful and required in all homes. The characteristics of nations are proclaimed in their dishes l think. The beautiful and honest porcelain of England. the graceful and dainty lines of France, the strong and substantial wares of Germany and the mystic and symbolical ideas of the Japanese. All this force on one the belief that great store bears great influence and helps to educate and develop the taste of the public, and among the influences can not help think of thousands of people who throng such store every day and all day. There is a feeling of homelike welcome with it and of course there cannot help but be close relation be- tween customer and clerk. One desires to know all about desired article and the other wishes to impart knowledge and to demonstrate the merits and beauty of goods. They tell me that at Reads there is no definite line drawn between the work of proprietors, man. agers. superintendents, and clerks, but all work together and the combined ideas, energies, and abilities go to make the life and individuality of the whole concern. Probably that explains the ever increasing prosperity of 50 years.

HIS IDENTIFICATION. WORE MEIGS & co. COAT, THAT
 WAS SUFFICIENT

A well known local business man had occasion to pay visit to Chicago re- gently, and tells this story on himself.
 In the lobby of the Auditorium he spied face which seemed familiar, and he spoke to the owner thereof and found him to be fellow-townsman. The man eyed the speaker suspicious ly, and did not appear to be able to place him exactly.
 "l've met you at the board of trade meetings" said the speaker, "don't you know mel"
 "No," replied the other with you can t-bunco-me look on his face.
 ! The local business man was morti- fled, of course, and groped about for some means of Identification. Sudden ly his face lighted up. Pulling the collar of hls overcoat around over his shoulder, he displayed the label to the doubting Thomas, and said: You know that label, don't you?"
 Sure, replied the other, Il wear a Meigs & Co. s coat myself, and he re peated the action of the first speaker.
 You must be all right if you wear Meigs & Co. clothes. Let's adjourn to the dispensary," he said. And they adjourned.
 Telling the story after he arrived home, the local business man said if he had not thought of the Meigs 6 Co. label in his coat, he could not have convinced the other that he was what he claimed to be. The Meigs 6 Co. label always identifies not alone good clothing, but good men as well.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the deceased portion of the ear There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by con stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by inAamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is in famed you have rumbling sound or imper- perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition. hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inhamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free
