The Great Fact of This February Furniture Sale Is That Brings the Goods That People Desire It j i-y "The People of the United States," aid Daniel Webster "descend :us of the English stock, admit with gratitude and filial regard that, among those .hecstors, under the culture of Hampden and oyancy ana otner assiduous nainots, me sccu of popular liberty first germinated, which on fU our soil has shot up to its full height, until its branches overshadow all the land. Happily it seems today as if those, branches arc destined "to overshadow all the earth." The brave men who lie asleep with open eyes in the "Valley of the Manic" and along "the Ridge" are still the living witnesses or "seeds of popular liberty" which they planted amid the storms of fire "to overshadow all the earth." May it "germinate" in all countries as speedily as the "wise men in the East" can jnakc the next move. What is to be, must be. fa "Let us have peace" and patience.

The people can see for themselves that this Furniture Sale is great beyond comparison in the thing that matters most the goods. We ha e said that in all events of the kind the furniture is the thing. Judged by that criterion, this is a marvel of a sale. We have never tried to make a furniture sale go ahead on any principle but that of having the kind of furniture that people want and having it in unequaled assortment and at price savings that will stand investigation. That is the principle upon which we are still working. It has brought our sale to the point at which we can say that nobody can afford to buy any furniture with out seeing what we have to offer. Of course, the great majority of people seem now to understand this and to act up to it, but there is no reason why anybody should be unaware of the fact that the first principle in furniture buying is to see what can be had in this sale, which presents all the most dependable and desirable types of furniture made in America and some very choice imported pieces at the lowest prices consistent with service and quality. Tomorrow will be the third and final day of courtesy and inspection. Selec tions may be made tomorrow, as on yesterday and today, but all purchases will date from February 1.

Hut they have more than a picturesque charm. They have a back ground of real economy. Oriental rugs are still scarce, generally speaking. Their prices in the open market are still high. In this sale there is a magnificent variety at large savings. We understand there is no such variety to be found anywhere else at any prices. , Chinese and Persian weaves are shown in profuse choice, many of them at the prices now obtaining at wholesale, some at less. The Persian carpets in the sale are chiefly Serapi and Mahal pieces, all of good,, reliable quality and in excellent colorings. The Chinese carpets are fine types in charming shade?. Scores of very desirable small rugs are in the sale at low prices, such as small Chinese pieces, Mosuls, Kazaks, Guendjes and Beluchistans.. As in the Furniture Sale, customers may select rugs tomorrow, the third day of inspection,' and have them charged from Saturday, February 1.

(Third rlnnr, DinlnnO Training Little Feet in the Way They Should Go is as much the province of a shoe store as of a school. Much of the- foot trouble people suffer with results from their having worn ill-fitting shoes in their child hood, when their feet were growing. A child's shoe should not only be large enough at Uptime it is first tried on, but should make allowance for the growth of the foot up to the time that shoe will be worn out. The footwear in this Children's Shoe Store is built on scientific principles and fitted by experts, who know just how much allowance should be made for growth. A host of trim little shoes in various leathers, at prices ranging from 85c for the baby's first pair of soft leather shoes to $9.50 for a pair of shoes for a largo girl. (Tint llnor.
