0UR business has pleasant llml-
~ tations significant of better
things.
We are like the fashionable,
small, exclusive tailor who buys
his woolens just when he needs
them.
And this, of course, at that last
moment when there is no possibility
of error in knowing just "the proper
thing" in fabrics and i'll style.
Were it not that our business is so
big we would differ in ITO Particular
from this tailor
For, although we buy woolens side
BY side with him, we buy at much less
cost because we get quantity prices.
So we sell just such fine garments
as he makes for much less money be-
cause we sell SO many.
We are not like the huge garment
manufacturers with nationwide trade

who drove another team. After a
series Of difficulties on account OF the

APPEARS IN PORTAL WITH TWO
. CHILDREN WHO ARE
DETAINED. .... ~.

Minot, N. D., Nov. I6.--Mystery sur-
rounds the appearance at Portal two
days ago of James Connors or Minot
with two children.
Connors it is said, has no children
of his own and so when he appeared
in Portland and attempted to cross the
Canadian border suspicion was arous-
ed that the children, had been kid
mapped. FL.
This suspicion was strengthened by
the fact that Conners told contradic-
tory stories ais to where the children
had come from saying at one time
that they had been abandoned by
their mother at Mandan,7 N. D.. and
later that. they were the children OF
a certain Ole Dahl of Winnipeg, Can
The Canadian nm sration officials
decided TO retains the children and
wired TO Mr.. Dahl at Winnipeg. "A
reply was received today from MI,
Dahl saying that he would arrive in
Portal but giving no information es
to whether or not the children had
been kidnapped. ...#
It was decided not to detain Com
nors, and he was permitted to return
| to Minot. The authorities think that
they can lay hands on him at any time
it appears necessary. ,
Connors' reputation is said to be
none of the best and he was con-
victed two years ago on the charge Of
stealing some wheat.

Wilson VIII Call Special Ses-

Democrats at Once Began
Working on Plans
Little Time Necessary to Per-
feet the Bills

Washington, Nov. 16.--Cleris OF the
house ways and means committee, are
already at work on tariff revision bills
for the special session of congress,
which Wilson has stated he viii sum-
mon to meet next April. The demo-
crat leaders have been confident fo.
some time that the incoming admins
tration would force the tariff issue 20
an immediate trial and much of the
detail of the work uf preparing the
bills is under way.
While Wilson is resting at Bermuda
during the next few weeks, the demo-
Gratis Of the two houses will endeavor
to settle the general programme to be
followed at the extra session. 1t has
not been determined whether one
seneraI bill will be introduced embrace
ing the wool, cotton, iron and steel
rCvisions which the democratic house
has previously passed or whether each
Of these tariff schedules will again be
brought in, in the form of separate
bill
Little time will be necessary it ~
believed to perfect the wool, cotton,
metal and chemical revision bills, be-
cause of the work done by the deBhn-
cratic ways and means committee in
preparing similar bills passed In the
last two sessions and which were veto
ed by Taft. ... ...-...
The democratic leaders have not
agreed, however, over the sugar tariff.
and this situation is puzzling the
managers of the party in both houses.
The house free sugar bill, passed at
the last session, did not meet the ap-
proval Of the democrats in the senate
and it still rests in the conference COM

Wilson's determination to call IN
extra session perfects the records OF
practically continuous work upon the
tariff since the special session was
called by Taft in 1909.
