Riding Out to the Soldiers'
Home One Day With
Abraham Lincoln
hio friend discovered that the President, like
many others of us, had the habit of loading his
trousers' pockets with little scraps of paper
culled from the newspapers and magazines.
Mr. Lincoln, at a sudden turn of the
conversation, put his big- hand into his pocket
and brought out a bunch of scraps and picked
out the little piece bearing this verse, which was
apropos to what he had been saying of the
urgency of prompt action :
"A weaver sat at his loom
Flinging his shuttle fast,
And a thread that should wear till the hour of doom
Was added at every cast."
Who wrote the verses the writer does not
know. Possibly Mr. Cox in the Book Store will
tell.

Men's Spring Suits
and Overcoats
What it is that makes all normal men more glad
to put on new clothes in Spring than at any other time,
there is no need to go into. Whatever it may be, it
seems very natural and very good.
This is to let all men who feel this eagerness for a
newer and fresher appearance know that new Spring
suits and overcoats of the finest ready-to-wear kind
made in the United States are shown in splendid variety
in the Wanamaker Men's Clothing Store at prices on an
average about 35 per cent less than those of last Spring.
A substantial lessening of price without any lessen
ing of quality is a good proposition.
A substantial lessening of price with a distinct
improvement in quality is still better. This last is what
these suits and overcoats stand for. This season they
are better and liner in fabrics', making and finish.
They come from those particular clothing organiza
tions with intelligence enough to know that for their
own interest it is good to put quality into their product.
The one object of these organizations is to excel, and
they know how to achieve it.
They surely have achieved it in the suits and over
coats that we are now showing in such fine force for
men who want to walk in the front rank of fashion thi3
Spring and Eastertide.
Spring suits, $32 to $60.
Spring overcoats, $35 to $60.
