The Fair Hudson Policy

The Super.Six is monopoly. This marvellous
motor adding 80 per cent to engine efficiency
is Hudson patent.
Its supremacy is unchallenged. 1t has won
every worlds record which can possibly prove
any quality you seek in motor.
1t has made the Hudson the largest selling fine
car in the world. Yet this years demand was
hardly half supplied.
Still this car has been sold at minimum profit;
at price far below cars of lesser performance.
The only advance for next year is the added cost
{ materials. And that advance will not apply
until these materials are used

We Have Cars Yet to Come

We have some cars yet due us at the present
price. Some open, some enclosed They will be
sold at present prices while our allotment lasts.
After that, every car shipped to us will cost the
higher price.
You can save that difference 75-by buying
your Super.SX now. And you'll get the same
model as buyers get who buy after December l.
Consider that fact well.
This is another striking evidence of the fair
Hudson policy.

THE PRISONER

IT'S night, tits night and chilling air,
Creeps through the bars, grips me here;
Chains and bars, damp walls of stone.
Barren hopes and aching bones.
No cheering light finds entrance here,
And blindly gropes the departing years,
AS if too long they lingering bode;
Midst walls that yawned and frowned,
While grim cold justice slowly ground
The mead Of laws exact demands.
Crimes fell stroke implanted deep,
In ages past, to spring anew,
Deep rooted, nurtured and intensified
In plastic clay; which nature doomed
Ere born to wear the mark Of Cain
IT'S cold, it's cold, friendly tomb
Might offer solace and end my groans
To live in death and begin anew,
Each creeping day and shadowy night
The living hell, where conscience sleeps
And taunt me with my past mistakes

SON IS STILL ON THE ALTAR

One of the amusing incidents con-
.nected with Governor Alexander s
recent fourteen campaign speeches
in Custer and Lemhi counties, is
told with good deal of gusto by those
who heard the gentleman. The gov
ernor was talking about his pride in the
state, particularly in regard to the way
in which it responded to the call to
arms by the president last July. In
connection with this the governor said
that when the call for the militia came
he at once offered his only son on the
altar of his country's service, and left
the impression in his hearers minds
that the only son was then on the Mex
lean border, fighting sand fleas, Villa
bandits and ella monsters with the
other brave Idaho boys.
AS one gentleman said: cit is prob
able that Governor Alexander made
many people believe that in the Second
Idaho there is enrolled this scion Of the
house of Alexander The facts are
somewhat at variance with this state
ment and belief. The younger Mr.. AL
exander is an excellent gentleman, in
early middle age, whom an unkind
providence has untitled for the work
of soldering. He appreciates the fact
that by nature and through education
he is better fitted to be clothing mer.
chant than warrior, and like the wise
and prudent shoemaker, is sticking tC
his last and still selling neckties in the
Alexander one price clothing store il
Boise. This is not to his discredit
though it seems almost indecent for hi
father to put his dutiful offspring in ;
false position before the people Of thu

also well represented. The coats look SO
warm and comfortable with their large,
high collars that button snugly to the
neck. Many of the collars are made of
fur and fur cloth, which may be had in
such good limitations that only very
experienced eye could tell the differ
ence. The materials for coats this sea-
son are simply irresistible; so beautiful
are they in the rich warm colors and SO
wonderfully soft in texture. Without
being heavy or clumsy, they are warm
enough for the cool weather.
Among the very newest materials are
Bolivia cloth, rich fabric with sheen;
and burella, soft open weave some
what like homespun, but very much
more attractive and finer in quality.
In addition to these, there are more
well known wool velours, wool pushes
and wool velvets as well as many other
fancy coatings. A pleasing note in the
development of the new coats for fall is
the use of brightcolored Innings. A
very handsome imported coat Of navy
blue serge had bright cerise lining
which showed when the fronts were
rolled open. Glimpses Of it were also
seen in the lining of the collar and
cuffs. Other charming combinations
that have been seen in the way Of lin
ings, are brown with light blue, and
| black cerise.
Like the coat in the illustration, a
great many models show the straight
closing down the front with gracefully
curved lines at the sides. The back and
sides are belted. Some models, how
ever, are, on the contrary, very full at
the back and have no belt at all to
confine the fulness which starts at the
neck and increases as the coat length.
ems. Fur collars are particularly good
style this fall. Hudson seal, beaver
kolinsky, fitch, skunk and rabbits are
the pelts which are most used. Very
often the cuffs are of matching fur, too
but in many instances only the collar
is Of fur.
