THE REASONS OF THIS
SALE.

There are two ways to win
trade. One to deserve it
and wait; the other to ad-
vertise. The old slow way
is still the sure way of the
few. We intend to adver-
tise stronger than ever this
season, and this sale is the
beginning of our campaign.
You know Christmas is al
most here, and you know,
too, that you will buy some
thing in jewelry. We want
you to, if necessary, go out
of your way to find this
store.
Hence this plan to get you
to spend one dollar with us
with the possibility that you
may secure a prize of SIS.
The sale starts at s a. m
tomorrow, Tuesday, and will
last until the full 1000 box
es are sold.

DEPARTMENT STORE LEAGUE.
Mallcy Nine Stars Ball Rolling and
 Other Teams Will Follow.

For several years the large depart ment stores of this city have boen eh' deavorIng to form a baseball league, and it K expected that this year the almost frultless cndeayors of the past seasons will be replaced by success, The Howe X Sietson, the Edw. Malley co. Gamble-Desmond and Mendcl X Freeman have already discussed the proposed league and the prospects for the fullllment of the desires of the athletlcally inclined employees arc be- coming almost daily brighter.
 Tho Edward Malley Co.,, has already organized two teams and practice ls being hold every day. Last season the Edw Malley Co, and the Howe X Stct- son Co, alone had teams, but outside Of two minor matches tho advance to- wards the forming of n league was very slight Mendel's and Gamble's have been stirred 10 the point of calling out candidates for teams and there seems little doubt but that the league will be organized. However, should the league not be formed the Malley Co. nine is ready to meet any amateur aggrega- ton m the city. the game to be play ed Friday afternoons during July and August.
 Several ideas have been expressed as to what arrangements could be made corcernlnE schedule Of games between the four proposed teams. but the best seems to be that by which each team will play two games with each other. It Is suggested that trophy be put up by the department stores to be given 10 ihe winning team.
 The lineup of the Malley team at present is:
 MacCormack or Brown. D.. Klarmpp. C.: F. Comisky, lb.; B. Sclsy, 2b.; Mix ter. Sb. Mathews ss.: Edwards. r, r.; McManus .. f.; Doyle, |, l. Mir. C. Mix ter VIII nlsn act ns field manager.

TAFT IN MASSACHUSETTS.
Question of Instructed Delegates Win
 be Settled at Convention To-day.

Boston. Aprib 9.-Republican party leaders and party workers. nearly all of whom are delegates to the state convention which tomorrow will se- lect four elegates-at-large to the na- tional convention. came to this city in unusually large numbers to-day to discuss pre-convention questions and to attend the customary "night-be- fore" reception at the American house. For the first time in num- Der of years the full details of the convention program had not been worked out on the eve of the pro- ceedings.
 The presiding officer had been elect ed, in the person of Postmaster-G eral George Von l.. Meyer; the differ- ent committees had been agreed upon: the recent elimination of one of the five candidates for the delegation to Chicago had left the convention likely to be in tho nature of ratification meeting for the remaining four; but tho question of whether these four should go to Chicago pledged to vote for Secretary Taft for the presidential candidate. or should be left to their own ncinations, and whether resolu. tions in favor of Secretary Taft should be adopted. are still undecided at a late hour tonight.

SOME DIGNITY.
And How It Abashcd Some Undignl-
 fed Young Men.

One of the habitues of an uptown cafe is a gray-haired, somewhat stod- gy old gentleman, who for years has been in the habit of dropping in every evening soon after the dinner hour and taking a seat at table placed In a corner near a radiator, Here he sits for a couple of hours every even ing, slowly sipping his brandy and water and reading his newspaper with close attention. The old gentleman never pays any attention to what is going on around him. No matter how hilarious the crowd may become, he never looks up and seems to hear and sec nothing of his surroundings, The walters have learned to serve him his refreshment and then fade away, for the old gentleman does not en- courage obsequious and annoying at tentions.
 The old gentleman was sitting in his usual place the other evening, ab- sorbed in his paper, with his drink at his elbow, when four noisy young men entered, sat down around the table adjoining and ordered hlghballs. They evidently had been drinking already, and became so demonstrative in their boitserousness that the old gentleman for once seemed to be Thoroughly an- moved. He looked up from time to time and shot them look of whitening flerceness, but the four did not seem to be at all aware Of his presence.
 As the fun became faster one of the young fellows suddenly pointed a siphon bottle at his companion across the table and pressed the trig- ger The man aimed at tucked and the stream shot over his head and struck the old gentleman square in the ear, spraying his head and drenching his white collar Livid with anger the old gentleman sprang tc his feet, faced the roisterers and strove in vain to speak. He struggled for utterance, but the words would not come. Finally he calmed himself by d mighty effort. The purple flush left his face. As if realizing his own helplessness he suddenly became g weak, haggard old man. SLOWLY ano with infinite dignity he wiped his face and collar with trembling hands ant tottered out of the cafe amid tense silence, Four scared and suddenly sober young m>o breathed sigh O l relief and tried to laugh.
 If the old gentleman had denounced ! them in fury or struck them tn, crowd would have enjoyed 1t ant ] laughed but his change to an attitud, of quiet and helpless dignity inspired pity He could not have triumphet more completely over a bad situation had he been a finished actor. H.

OMEGA GIRLS DISBAND.
Girls Basketball Team Had Very Suc-
 ccssful Season.

The omega Girls basketball team has just finished lts season. which was a very successful one. The members have played ten games in all, winning five of them. The players worked diligently and considering the strong teams they have played, their playing during the latter part of the season showed a marked improvement and made them q worthy five to play with. Miss E. Barnes, who captalned tho team, did good work nt center, play ng an excellent game against star centers of other teams. Miss Rattles- dorfor, who Is the smallest one on the team, was most wonderful shot making some of tho prettIost baskets ever made by girl players. Be tides this she very seldom missed u floor goal and secured nearly every foul goal she tried. She was well sup ported by Miss White. who played the other forward. Both of them played star games throughout the season.
 The two guards were Miss c. Barnes and Miss Dixon. who also played very good games. By their gool blocking and passing they saved their side many times from losing. Miss Monohan also played guard. but was given little chance to see what she could accomplish. Miss Rowe. another star guard, played only dur ing the early part of the selson. While she did play she proved her self a very good guard. Playing against some of the best forwards, she prevented them from even securing one goal. By her absence from the team the Omegas lost an excellent player. However, Miss Dixon did good work in her position.
 The scores and games played were as follows:
