Put Us
To the Test

We are absolutely sure these
suits are vastly superior to any
at the price
We want to prove this fact
to you-But in this test we do
not wish you to run any risk
whatsoever-We want to as
sumo all the responsibility
and you are to be the sole
judge
You will certainly admit the
fairness and liberality Of this
policy-and also realize our
values must be rather extraor-
dinary in order to stand such
test.

There IL one feature In connection
with the wreck that occurred on
the Occur d'Alene 4 Spokane line at
Lacrosse, the last day of July, which
the public, as well as those who
were unfortunate enough to be In
jured, will appreciate. and that is
the Willingness and anxiety of the
officials OF the line to adjust every
claim for damages by mutual agree
ment, or BY arbitration, In prefer
ence to indulging In long drawn out
and expensive litigation, which will
prove a losing game to both the COM
pany and the injured. BY the fairness
of Its offer those who were injured
cannot refuse to meet the company
on the same ground and with the
same spirit OF fairness, which will
prove profitable to both. and settle
the claims. The offer OF J. p. Graves,
president OF the company. published
In another column, is the most rea-
Sonable and Just proposition ever
submitted to the victims of a railway
disaster. He offers to meet the vic
Tins with whom the company has not
already settled more than half way
and pay reasonable attorney fee for
a lawyer to present their case before
a board of arbitration II they cannot
reach a mutual agreement. No fair
minded person could refuse to accept
such liberal proposal.

During a short lived revolution, says
HarpeF's Weekly. there came to be
the head of the government In a little
Central American republic a man who
was above all things courteous and
who was, moreover, very anxious to
gain the good will Of the foreign con-
guIs One OF the latter. having heard
that a certain countryman of bis had
died, addressed note TO the head Of
the new government. in which he stat
ed that his own government would be
grateful for a certificate of death Of
the individual In question. A few
days later the consul received this
communication:
Esteemed Senor--I blush to say that !
cannot at present comply with your ex-
cellency's request for a death certificate
Of the man named. l sent my soldiers,
but he got away, to my shame 1 shall
uSe every effort 10 catch him, however.
and hope TO send your excellency the de-
sired certificate at an early date.
Needless to say, the consul lost no
time in communicating to the obliging
president the information that the GER
tifcate was undesIred. in view Of the
fact that the Individual was able to
get away"
