competent persons outside our own

"Business Better Than Usual"
This month, so far, has been the biggest month's business we have ever
had in the aggregate and per store, away above any mark we have ever reached
before. To some minds, considering conditions, this may seem incredulous not
so to us, we expect it. We know, and Ho usekeepers throughout four States know,
that nowhere can goods be bought as low as in an American Store, consider
ing quality, honest weight and measure. We are driving full speed ahead,
towards the goal of greater successes, keeping in mind the fundamentals on
which this business was founded, viz: QUALITY, PRICE AND SERVICE.

'Home' be all right?"
"Home !" they all said, a little shakily,
and drank to It.
Home ! To the Thorpes, a little house
on a shady Etrect In America; to the
Trauleln. a thatched cottage In the
mountains of Germany and an old
mother; to Tepy, the room In a tenement
whero sho went at night; to Ferdinand
William Otto, a formal suite of apart
ments In tho palace, surrounded by
pomp, ordered by rulo and precedent,
hardened by military dllsclpllne, and un
foftcned by family love, save for the
grim affection of the old King.
Home!
After all, Pepy's plan went astray, for
the Frauleln got the china baby, and
Ferdinand William Otto the Lincoln
penny.
"That." raid Bobby's father, "Is a
Lincoln penny, young man. It bears the
portrait of Abraham Lincoln. Have
you ever heard of him?"
' The Prince looked up. Did he not
know' the "Gettysburg Address" by
heart? ,
"Ves. sir." he said. "The my grand
father thinks that Tiesldent Lincoln was
a very great man."
"One of the world's greatest. I hardly
thought, over here" Mr. Thorpe paused
and looked speculatively at the boy
"Vou'd better keep that penny where you
won't lose It." he said soberly. "It
doesn't hurt ua to try to be good. If
you're In trouble, think of the difficulties
Abraham Lincoln surmounted. If ou
want to be great, think how great he
was." He was a trifle ashamed of his
own earnestness. "All that for a penny,
oung man!" j
