case under the collar of my coat. And

I wore so that she could see the bar

coat across the foot Of the bed to pre-
vent the delicate covering from be-

without further disrobing.

why, took my hand in both his,
and bowed as though l indeed were

Then you got on well?"
Truly: for he was wiser than his
agent. monsieur He found answers
by asking questions
For instance, he asked"

night-who was there-how | enjoyed

"Ah. yes, yes! So then saw what
held him up in his work, what kept
him alive. | saw something I have
not often seen-a purpose, a principle,
in a public man. His love for his
own land touched even me, how or
why / scarcely know. Yes, we spoke
of the poor, the oppressed, OF the
weary and the heavy laden"
7 Did he ask you what you know OF
Mexico and England?"
Rather what I knew of the poor in
Europe. I told him some things l
knew of that hopeless land-my
own land. Then he went on to tell
me of America and its hope of free
democracy of the people. Believe me.
I listened to Mr. Calhoun Never

FOUR YEARS OLD.

The Iron City Trades Journal,
published at Pittsburg, Pa, by
Mr.. Kelley. has begun its fourth
year. Mr.. Kelley has made a re-
markable success of labor news
paper printed in community
where graft has too often been
the labor paper way of living. The
Trades Journal has always been
clean, and for that reason it has
been antagonized in certain quar-
tiers. But its merits have COM
manded recognition. and today 1t
is being royalty supported by
thousands of union men who are
only too glad to have an organ
that is known to be square. Or
ganized labor in Pittsburg. and
throughout Pennsylvania, needs
just such a fearless. outstanding
organ as the Iron City Trades
Journal. and we hope its editor,
Mr.. Kelley. will long continue to
direct its energies.

We claim no big sensational effect
for this SALE We merely give our custom
ers the full benefit of a bargain we secur-
ed far along In the season. That is our
regular custom---glvlng our customers the
benefit Of everything possible This ex-
plains why we never have ''bargain
sale such as are commonly advertised at
the fag ends Of the seasons We make
our bargain prices our original prices--thus
giving our customers the benefits that 9th
ers held off until the close of a season.
Our original and only price is, generally,
better than the belated bargain prices
elsewhere. For instance, our spring lines
will be sold in the spring at prices others
will quote as bargains when fall comes.
You can see the advantage you gain by
availing yourselves Of our system.
incidentally we again call your atten-
ton to the fact that we handle more

THE nIcHMoNp RIppLE.

In answer to our question, "Wha,
is the most interesting place in Rich
mond?" the Virginian- Pilot ventures
some serious and some jocose observa
lions.
Seriously speaking, our Norfolk con-
temporary chooses Hollywood Gene
terry and the Confederate Museum, but
is mot sure that a majority of Rich
monders agree with this choice" Our
contemporary thinks that few of our
citizens go to the cemetery unless
they have to, which is rebutted by the
fact that hundreds pass through 1t on
week days and as many on Sundays
the only time that the citizens OF
Richmond, who have work to do. can
visit 1t. The virginian- Pilot further
observes that It has never met at the
Confederate Museum any but pilgrims
from other States. While many vir-
ginians and Richmonders visit It.
doubtless there are very many people
who ought to visit 1t who do not

which we think wrong. Those who
sit on the benches cannot help gazing
on the memorials OF a great past and

where do the people of RichmoDi

We pause for a reply from the Del
phian oracle itself" Not that We
would assume the oracular role, but
that we would say that our citizens
most resort in their leisure moments
to the best resort of all-home. 1t is
there that our people grow in culture
