basement and all but part of the
first floor was used for warehouse
purposes. Every foot of the store now
is used for display purposes, and the
extra stock = kept in two warehouses
which are located at SIT and 619
Quincy street. About five times as
many employees are in the store as
there were at the beginning
Some extensive improvements are
planned for the ne fu ire, including
large passenger elevator.
The Frank Furniture company spe-
c1alizes only in home furnishings. No
sewing machines or monographs are
carried in stock. In the last few years.
a drapery department has been added,
which has grown rapidly. Rugs have
been especially emphasized lately.

OF one OF the most relentless man

Young Napier was away when the
killing occurred, but when he learned
OF the tragedy, neighbors say, he
swore he would not eat until he had
avenged his fathers death. He
learned the way which Gibbons had
fled and took up the pursuit.
The preached took a zigZag way
across the mountains, trying to
throw Napier off the track. The boy
followed with the skill of an Indian.
For forty-eight hours the chase con.

Napier finally decided Gibbons

there by a short cut. He was wait.

ter what the outcome Of the pres

that it is going to pay more for
Goal than It did before the strike
began. The coal operators will
see to that.
II Great Shortage OF Anthracite.
Ig The difference will be found more
especially in the case OF anthracite.
since the commencement OF the strike
only a small percentage OF the usual
output OF anthracite has been taken
from the ground. This shortage can
not be made up-it is gone. Much

ing how long IT may continue, the
coal operators are charging Sc and
mine as against the SO and $3.50 per
ton which Secretary of Commerce
Hoover suggested. This shows how
much heed the operators have given

[ They are determined the American
people shall not interfere with their
profiteering. for undue profits they
Intend to have. no matter how.
I, Miners Holding On BraveIy.
AS to the strike itself. the miners
are holding on just as bravely and
tust as determlnedly as ever. Con.
lferences continue between both
sides. Just what the outcome Of
~ all will be no man. OF course. can
Iforetell, but feeling, as we do, that
our cause is just-and any fair,
minded, unprejudiced person who
will investigate and consider both
sides of the case must agree with
US that we are not at fault-it is
our intention to carry on to the
very end.
or course, this entails much suf.
fering for the miners and their de.
pendants, but no great and just
cause was ever won without bitter
sacrifice. History proves that. and
history is now but repeating itself.
