are many fine buildings as an attesta-

q man Of his caliber to make its indus
trial department meet the needs which
were much evidenced daily by large
number Of young people, he accepted

By N. BARNETT DoDsoN.

-
The chronology Of the busy and
eventful life Of Frederick Douglass is
interesting to all Americans. He was
born in Tuckahoe, Nd, in February,
1917. He lived with his master until
1888, at which time he was sent to
live with a slave owner by the name
Of Edward Covey, from whom he made
an unsuccessful attempt to escape. He
was subsequently sent to Baltimore to
learn the ship calkers' trade.
After working at his trade for some
considerable time, always with the de-
termination in view of gaining his free
dom, he finally succeeded by running
away in 1888, went to New York
and married Miss Anna Murray. 1t
was not until he had read Scott's

FRIDAY, JUNE @, 1913.
JUNE,

June, the month of roses, has been
overshadowed by May this year, not
only in the amount of sunshine but
in the production of summer brides.
The following from Adeline O'Neill
may be taken as appropriate for the
month that is opening up before us:
June is the month of roses,
And all seem so fragrant and sweet;
And the flowers are all blooming and
blossoming,
And comfort lays at our feet.
June as the month of roses is also
the month most famed for the young
people who have made up their
minds to marry. During the month
of May just past Prothonotary
Barnes issued nineteen licenses per-
mitting that many couples to wed,
During the second day of June three
licenses were taken out in the office.
This is a good start for the month
that promises so much for the well
fare of the race. Young man, con-
slider June 13 when you ask her.
1t is the luckiest day of the year.

G All the love letters ever

souls.
G. And all the advertisements
we ever write can never quite
do justice to Our clothing.
G Advertisements and love
letters are not written for the
sake of writing them, but with
the object of getting a response.
q And if you have not yet re-
sponded to our almost daily
overtures, let us suggest that
you do it now.
q We know that you need
clothes, you know we make
clothes. But, do you know
what manner of clothes they
are?
q Possibly you do, but if you
don't then you are not availing
yourself of the best clothes at
your command.
q You are throwing away an
opportunity to get a degree of
individuality of style which can
not be duplicated in Ready to
wear Clothing. Whether you
want to pay SIS or $35 or any
price between, and whatever
model, fabric, pattern or shade
you want at that price, we
have it in stock right now, tail
ored with distinction which
is the delight of Our clients and

aries.

A SPIRIT MOVES THE QUAKERs.

The Quakers of the country are
aroused If it were not inconsistent
with their line of faith and under
standing of the Scriptures, we might
be tempted to add that they are
fighting mad" and had actually
doomed their war paint
That denomination tried at the
last session of the New York legisla-
ture to have law passed restrain
ing manufacturers from using the
name Quaker" on their advertising
on the ground that "it was immoral
for anyone to trade for his own profit
upon the supposed virtues of an
other, and public indecency to ex-
plot for that purpose the name of
religious denomination"
1t would seem that all right-think-
ing citizens would see the fairness of
such a request, and that the propos-
ed legislation might have become eff
fective; but the Solons of the EN-
pire State couldn't see it in that
light, and failed to pass the bill.
The Brooklyn Eagle, in an article
on the subject aptly inquiries:
IF Quaker whiskey why not Baptist
beer? If you ride on Quaker tires, why
not carry Presbyterian pocketbook? If
your wife's dress is trimmed with Quaker
lace, why not buy her a Lutheran look
ing glass in which to view it?"
At meeting held last Saturday in
Manhattan by the Quaker society the
subject was carefully considered. A
report from committee was the ba-
sis of discussion, the report advocat-
ing such advertisements, (imaginary,
of course), to appear in future copies
of the American Friend and the
Friends Intelligencer, Quaker publi-
cations, for the purpose of attract
ing attention by satire, to the way
Quakers have been treated in current
advertising:
Baptist Beer is the Best Booze"
Methodist Martins Make Multi
tudes Merry"
"Episcopalian Paint-Covers
Multitude of Sins"
catholic Cocktails-A Cure for
All Cares"
i Presbyterian Purses for Plethoric
Pockets"
Lutheran Looking Glasses Give
Pious Reflections"
The report, however, was not
adopted, because there was strong
probability that those denominations
might misconstrue the intent of the |
Imaginary advertising, and Friends |
want to live in peace and harmony
with their religious neighbors. The
committee, however, was requested |
to cooperate with other denomina-
tions to bring Quaker" advertise
ments to an end, and one of these
days it will be as unlawful to use
the name of any religious denomina-
tion to exploit a private enterprise
as 1t is now to use the star-spangled |
banner for advertising purposes; and
1t is certainly far more decent to ad-
vertise on a printed cloth than it is |
to try to make gain out of the name
of any organization that stands for
Eternal Life and all that is right |
and pure even in this present life.
