't frH i Yf Li' k A Young Man Once Went for Advice to His Intimate Friend who was a college graduate and a great student, and this is A Part of the Conversation which actually took place. . Question "What are your methods of reading: Mr. Beecher's reply: "I read for three things: first, to know what the world has done in the last 24 hours and is about to do today; second, for the knowledge which I want to use in my work; and third, for what will bring my mind into a proper mood.'" Question "What plan would you recommend to a young man for preserving the results of his reading? Have you yourself pursued any method to develop the power of retaining the subject matter you read which is a very important thing? Have you any plan for marking books, journalizing, or copying the pith of what you read?" The answer to this question tomorrow, A speech may "have too much middle to it." So may a book or an advertisement. All the things we do in this store we do in the best way we know, that people shall not.be disappointed in our assortments; therefore, many changes take place every 24 hours, and we like to arrange everything so that our patrons shall not be tired.

( fiitriill The World's Debt to the Young Men Also the Tailor's The world now has good reason to know how much it has to depend upon the young men. In the last resort they are the only people who matter. By the very force of circumstances they have taken on a new dignity and it has come upon them in a way that nobody can question or gainsay. When it comes to a question of buying new clothes, the store that is good enough for a young man's father is not necessarily good enough for him. We feel that this is a clothing store good enough for both, but we are always trying to make it better. Our special aim has been to make it the best store for young men to comeJLo for their new suits; and we believe anybody who judges fairly the young men's'suits we have to show must admit that at least there are none better for the money anywhere, if there are any as good. In a word, young men, your kind of Spring suits are here if they weren't, we wouldn't say so. - Prices from $28 to $50.
