ADVERTISE THEM EARLY.

The practice Of bu.ing holiday
goods and mailing them early is GER
tain to be followed more generally
this year than ever before. System
attic efforts to this end are being en-
couraged by the postoflce department
with view of preventing congestion
of the mails during the holiday sea-
son, and it may be confidently an
ticipated that these efforts will bear
fruit.
Early buying carries with 1t as a
necessary concomitant early adver-
Using by merchants having holiday
goods for sale. Trade follows the
advertising, and 1t Is obviously to the
advantage of the merchants to have
this trade distributed over as many
weeks as possible An early trade
can be secured by the simple expedi-
ent of telling the public what they
can do at this stage OF the season. In
/ this way merchants can avoid hirine
as much extra help as would be re
lquired otherwise, and the public car
avoid hasty buying, which is the mos'
common cause Of dissatisfaction MGR
chants would do well to advertise
their holiday goods early, and the
buying public will find both pleasure
and profit in accepting the Invitations
thus extended.

THE KING.

\ THE KING.
The folk who lived in Shakespeare's
day
And saw that gentle figure pass
BY London bridge, his frequent way
They little knew what man he was.
The pointed beard, the courteous
mien,
The equal port to high and low,
All this they saw or might have
seen
But not the light behind the brow!
The doublet's modest gray or brown,
The slender sword-hilt's plain device,
What sign had those for prince or
clown?
Few turned, or none, to scan him
twice.
Yet twas the king Of England's
kings!
The rest with all their pomps and
trains
Are moldered, half-rememhereo
things
IT'S he alone that lives and reigns!

EARLY SHOPPING URGED.

The merchants of the city are of
one mind in favor OF early shopping
The experience of former years proves
it to be by far the best plan that can
be adopted for both buyer and seller.
1t is the rational plan to save the
saleswomen and statesmen from the
desperately trying and wearying work
Iof late selling until nature herself
gives way and refuses longer to sus-
tain the workers in their needless
overstrain.
The movement Is in the hands of
the buyers. They can be considerate
or selfish according to their mood OF
sympathy for toilers. especially WON
i en-, or their mood of callous indif
ference. Let us all be thoughtful OF
those who have long hours at the
best and exceedingly hard ones in the
IIuEh period.
Let all shop early and let those who
cannot shop early shop as early a,
they possibly can.
