Ambition Is Not a Sin
William Ewart Gladstone, the greatest Englishman of our time, and
whose picture is worth having, once said to a boy:
" "If a boy runs, he ought to run as
fast as he can, and if he jumps, he
pught to jump as far as he can."
Mr. Gladstone lived up to what he
said to others.
John Bright, the great English
Commoner, once said to a fond
-mother whose little son had never
seen Gladstone, "Take him to see the
greatest Englishman he is ever likely
to look upon." ' r
. Mr. Gladstone's ability seemed to
be in thinking ahead of his age.
While he was regarded as visionary,
he was the" first to see great things
- ,and initiate the doing of them.
At eighty-five years of age he
resigned his, seat in the House of
Commons with "the whole world
indebted to him."
The keynote of .Mr. Gladstone's
long life was distinctly spoken in his
. many acts to benefit his fellow-men.
None of us can live a full and
useful life and be wholly absorbed in
himself.

Men and Their New
Fall Clothes
This season, as in former seasons, there arc various
kinds of Fall suits for men.
On the surface it is surprising how much alike they
appear, but underneath there are vast differences.
This. season, as in former seasons, we have a good
choice of men's Fall suits, but all of them are of one kind
in the sense that, at the prices, they are the best kind
to be had.
We know that similar claims will be made for other
suits, perhaps with good reason and perhaps not.
But there is-no "perhaps" about the excellence of
the suits we offer, because, for our own sake, we would
not permit of it.
They register ,100 per cent in every fundamental,
from thd selection of the cloths of which they are made
to the last touch of the tailor's hand.
In our suits for young men, young men's fashions
are at their perfection so far as it is possible to have
them perfect. The more settled styles for older men are
shown in attractive choice also.
The man who chooses his new Fall suit from this
stock forestalls disappointment he insures the largest
and most satisfactory return for his, money.
Prices for suits, $32 to $65.
Prices for Fall overcoats, $32 to $50.

The Showing of Oriental Rugs
Holds an Abiding Interest
One seems never to tire of looking at some things for instance, Oriental rugs.
In their colors there seems always to be something fresh and appealing. We
might leave this great, beautiful display as it stands unchanged for years and yet any
body with an eye for color might walk through it daily and find new delights in it. But
we have to keep it constantly changed and renewed, because the pieces we sell have to"
be regularly replaced by others. For that reason, if for no other, it presents new inter
est almost every day.
There are groups of vugs here that we have not even mentioned as yet ; groups, too,
of uncommon interest, because of the excellence and desirableness of the pieces and the
unusual lowness of the prices.
Notable amongst these are Khiva Bokhara rugs, so much"Hiked for ofilcw, libraries
and reception halls. Fields of red in Varying shades are decorated with a variety of figure
designs in chiefly dark blue, ivory and bottle green.
