"What we call 'Discovery,'" said a great writer, "is the serious exercise and activity in reaching out for truth." This we can do by observation, listening attentively to conversa tions, remembering what we read and hear, and encouraging a feeling for that which is true and good. . To actually feel something in our hearts is much more than to merely think of it. So we shall find "the more excellent way" for ourselves and be enabled to live our own lives better and help others. If this Store is a well-built steam engine and keeps on its solid tracks, it will pull others along to the same goal ahead of it.

The World Is Sick of Duplicity or at Least It Ought to Be As far back as there are any records oi; things there were people who tried to make the false and the counterfeit pass for the true and the genuine ; and it has never worked and it never1 can work for any length of time. It shouldn't be allowed to work one hour, be cause while it does work it means that somebody is beingcheated. It is an age of great things, but as yet we don't believe anybody can make "men's $30 suits" from a coarse cotton rag faced with the floor sweepings of a wool mill. Yet suits of that kind are being sold here in Philadelphia as "bargains" for $15, $18 and there abouts, which means 50 per cent more than they can by any stretch of imagination be considered worth to any man foolish enough to buy them. Unfortunately this is not an imaginary con dition, but a real one, the concrete evidence of which we have seen with our own eyes and the facts of which we have fully tested. And it, is only one case of the kind. We 'have seen "fine Spring and Summer suits worth $30," the fabric in which was a piece of cotton as coarse as an onion bag and with the dyes looking as if they were applied with a shoe brush. It is not our habit to raise a "hue and cry." We have established our men's clothing busi ness the standard of the country on a solid bedrock of reliability ; and we have attained to a position in which we have no need to raise a scare. But there is such a thing as an ethical sense; and there is such a thing as common honesty; and there is such a thing as the duty a store with an ethical sense, to say nothing of a sense of common honesty, owes to the public, and that is, to put them on their guard against methods and practices that lower the mercantile profession. This year, as in former years, we are ready with new Spring suits and overcoats, all pure wool and as fine as it is humanly possible to have them at the prices. Suits at $28 to $65. Overcoats at $35 to $50. (Third Floor, Mnrket) A New Shipment of Men's Triple -Ring Derby Hats These are the silper-derbies Warmmaker's had made for its friends.
