"PSHulU :!
That Pebble
Walked Me :"

This, in the old Morse
legend, was the yawning
comment Of the giant
Skyrmir, when something &
fell on his forehead from
the branches of the tree
under whi &C h he had
stretched his huge length.
Yet that something was
the famous hammer of the
mighty hero, Thor, hurled
with all the strength of
the right arm whose
prowess song and story
celebrate.
But the giant scarcely
knew it from a nut or a
pebble.
Size plus brains is hard
to beat.
This August Furniture
Sale is a giant among
sales.
Size plus brains makes
it great. People are flow
ing into Philadelphia
and into this Store-new
apartments and homes be-
ing created daily, and fur
nished from this Store
but the vast stocks feel it
no more than the giant
felt the pebble" on his
head.
We could furnish 600 or
700 homes overnight and
the Furniture Store would
never know anything had
happened. As fast as the
furniture goes out, furni-
ture comes in.
In a single day Is car
loads of furniture were
delivered here.
Those who would de-
preciate the supremacy of
bigness plus brains in a
sale of any kind of mer-
chandise confess their
own lack of either.
No one person wants to
buy q thousand chairs.
But by going and choos-
ing and buying where
there are a thousand
chairs for sale he will get
the lowest price on his
one or his twenty chairs,
and the best value for that
price.
And he knows it.

We are just quietly

WHITE SLAYER?
Badly Mixed Color Scheme in
Mann Act Case

A badly mixed color scheme WAS
presented for the consideration OF III.
s. Commissioner John Fort on Sat
urday, when John Swan, who is black,
was arraigued on a charge Of white
slavery. The white slave referred to
is 'yaller gal," whom Swan is al
legged to have imported from tho
Twin Cities.
Swan, bound over to answer at the
next term of U, S. district court to
charge Of violating the Mann act, is
a victim of misplaced sympathy from
over-zealous friends. Some time ago
there was an alteration at the DOM
icile in which the white slave who
figures in the case is installed. In
the melee, one George Washington
dome busted Swans haid open with
a beer bottle To the police the
matter was originally presented as
merely friendly niger fracas. aud

friends of Swan began parading him
