Wise Talks
By the "Office Boy"
Butter costs more than butterS
inc and always will. A cut-price
suit is sure to be short on quail
ity. Did that ever occur to you?
The name "Silverwood" on a suit
or shirt or a hat doesn't make
that article any better than it is.
1t makes it better than it would
be and than others are without
the quality compelling influence
expressed in that label. You
can't stink of soap unless you
think of Ivory" You can't
think of safety razors unless you
think of Gillette" You can't
think of sewing machines unless
you think of Singer" nor of
talking machines unless you
think of Victor" nor of hats
unless you think of SILVER
wood" That little trip you're
planning-are you sure you have
everything to make you look and
feel fit? If you're going back
East, don't forget light weight
underwear and negligee shirts.
One of our nice, light weight
suits would be awfully comfort
able and you'd enjoy it so, for
they fit so we'll and are so well
tailored so alright in every
particular; and then they're
marked with just one price,
which means one just price. Our
goods are different. They're 2
classy. They're the good sort.
Ready-to wear suits, like ready
to-wear shirts, have punctured
the made to-measure" bubble.
The head and hands of one man
cannot create as fine garment
as ten heads and ten hands can
create. We want you to drop in
at our Broadway and Sixth street
store and have one of our cloth
ing men show you through-no
trouble, and you will be under
no obligation to buy. Can't you
come today?

proposition, has. In the Judgment
OF tariff experts, one very important

ton OF the President without the ne
cessity of anything in the way OF

THE DEATH OF CERVERA OF
SANTIAGO FAME.

The death of Admiral Cervera has re-
called 10 Americans the memory of a
brave and manly foe who went to de-
feat with the spirit of the race that
once ruled the world. When Cervera
brought a Spanish squadron to Cuba
he knew better than anyone else that
he was coming to sure destruction. At
that time the Spanish people, ignorant
of the resources Of this country, could
not be made believe that we could take
Cuba without putting forth half our
strength. No ministry could afford not
TO make pretense TO defend the ever
faithful isle" which was the last jewel
in the Spanish crown, the most valu-
able colony in hemisphere all of
which at one time belonged to Spain.
The crown itself might have been en-
dangered by an angry people had it
confessed its intention not TO strike a
blow for so rich a country as Cuba
But Cervera knew his ships were
poorly manned and that he had no
chance with the American fleet in a
pitched battle Yet he went to what
he believed his death without muir
muir. When his ships were bottled up
in Santiago bay and when it was ap-
parent that the time was near when
they might be pounded to pieces by
guns mounted on the hills surrounding
the bay, Cefvera, stunning so ignomin-
ious an end, decided to go out into the
open and take his chances in a sea
fight. When his little squadron sailed
out of the bay it went to certain de-
feat, and no one knew it better than
the admiral. He did his best in way
that was worthy of the best days of
Spain.
There was general rejoicing when it
was discovered that he had not found
the death he sought. The heart of the
American people went out to him. Even
in the rejoicing at the victory we could
not but feel admiration and pity for so
brave a foe who with a force so made
quate had been compelled for his coun-
try's honor to make so desperate an
effort. We remembered TOO, his chiv-
alrous conduct toward Hobson when he
sank the Mcrrimac and was captured
Later. in his captivity the old admiral
won all hearts by the fortitude with
which ne bore his misfortunes, and
when he left this country upon the
conclusion of peace it was with the
warmest regard and respect of all who
/ knew him

The
Wasaington
Times Men
Heard at the Capital

n TX pages of the Congressional
Record in a recent issue were
devoted TO speech by Repre-
sentative Hame-. first-term
Republican Congressman from Idaho.
In addition to being copious. the
speech of Hamer apparently made
considerable of a hit, being freely
sprinkled with bracketed words such as
applause. Laughter and applause,
great applause" It was enlivened
with several flights of oratory, and con-
tanned choice assortment of Jokes.
WITH unerFing certainty. the words ZAP
piause, and laughter" marked the keen
appreciation OF each of these features of
Inc speech. But whose keen apprecia-
ton?
1t would have taken Hamer two hours
70 deliver that speech. He got it into
tne Record in half minute. He merely
asked for leave to print it, the request
70 the clerk, and Hamer ives thereupon
enrolled among the grsat orators IF
American history. At some point be
tween the handing over operations and
the printing. the copy fell into the
hands of a Government emDlOye with =
high sense Of appreciation and a clair
vovanE mind. He knew how the speech
would hy-ve sounded. and how IL would
have been received if il had been de-
hvered, so he only did justice to Hamer
by inserting the daughters and the ap-
plauses whers the House itself would
have put them
Mr.. HameT is now trying 10 locate the
employee so that he my express his ap-
probation of the employees appreciation.

After all, this is only the logical,

slow boats, with their special appeal
to folks who want to loaf ana invite
the muses.; but there are now other
boats that make the passage across the
ocean at genuine express speed and
that have the capacity to make the
transatlantic flight not much different
from the strenuous life in iowa. What

Incidents

- HAMP CLARK, Democratic lead
or in the House, came nearer
TO being a multi-millionaire
than anybody now in sight
Instead, he went TO Missouri and became
a politician; later he became Con-
gresham, and finally he has become a
statesman.
When he was twenty-three years old,
Clark was president of a West Virginia
college, and ne was a good one, too.
At the end of two or three years he had
saved $500, and a friend confided TO him
that il was enough 10 make a fortune.

long been Of the opinion that the bound

smiled most amiably. He wanted TO go
there.
Il guess not" he decided. I'm 20 to
He did. The 1000 acres OF land that
his $500 would have bought is now worth
millions: If he had bought ii and stayed
in West Virginia he would have been
one of the first of the long row of men
who have made tens of millions in the
development of the natural resources
of that newer Pennsylvania
