Every possible effort has been put forward to make this exhibit worthy the attention of the most fastidious dressers in Scrantou, and the advancement as regards perfection in labor, selection of materials and ex. cellence in cut and finish is so marked that it now appears as though nothing was left to be desired. In fact the pru dent woman of moderate means who fails to take advantage of the opportunities offered for perfection of style, certainty of fitting and practical economy that are now to be found in a really first-class Cloak and Suit Department does so be cause she does not fully understand its real benefits. We had intended saying a word or two on fashion's uew ways aud fancies, for they are all here; but on second thought think it is better you should see them aud form your own conclusion as to their merits and adaptability for your personal use. The display now being made inc ludes the latest nov elties in Ladies' aud Misses' Costumes, Skirts, Waists, Coats, Shirt Waists, etc., and we are safe in saying that the revolutionary changes in fashion's decrees since last year will surprise you. Everything is now ready for your inspection, A call from you will be esteemed a favor.

"I don't suppose you have forgotten the panic of '03," said Dodson. "I certainly havo not, for I had that un lucky year impressed upon mo in a way that I will not soon forget. "You remember how money disap peared when tho crash came? Banks that were fortunate enough to escape going down In the general crash hoard ed their money and refused to loan a cent, even upon the best security. "I have always made It a, rule never to talk business with my wife, and she, poor woman, never knew at the time the many anxious dayi, that I had passed, for I tried to conceal my hope less condition. "At last It came to a point where I waq even without a hope and I stag gered home with bankruptcy staring mo in tho face. I had made the tight and lost, nnd then, seeing all the sav ings of a lifetime swept away. I gave up like a doomed man to die,, and knowing that no fate could ward off the blow. "I knew that my wife must be told, so I took her In my arms and broke It to her as gently as possible. "For several minutes she said not a word, and 1 began to fear that the shock had been too much for her. I had told her that If I could only raise a small sum It might see my through the worst and enable mo to get upon my feet again. Finally she spoke 'John.' she said, 'I have always had a presentiment that some day something might happen, and whenever I chanced to have a little money that I thought I would not need I put it away in one of Willie's dis carded toy banks, I haven't the sllphit ust Idea how much there Is, but I have been adding to It for years. I will get it and we will count It together. "I never knew until that incment how a man feels when he Is reprieved from under the gallows. "She placed the bank before me and I dumped the contents upon the table. There was a total of 7!l cents, mostly in pennies. "It was so comical that I had to laugh. But that laugh saved me. It drovo .away the gloomy thoughts which had surrounded me and I took courage as?aln to look the situation In the fico and finally won out. "1 am still paying my wife her usual ullowance; but I haven't the face m ask her if she Is again putting nsldu for a rainy day." Paris Not Always First. The European edition of the Now York Herald has a long article (repub lished In New York Herald of March 5) on the jelatlve nwrlts of China and Ceylon lea, and how tea Is steeped In Paris the city which is popularly sup posed to lead the world In fashions' and matters of taste. Tho article in ques tion says: "China, tea has a coarcer taste, and you might, under similar circumstances, think It stronger, but in reality It is not. It is perfectly certain that Ceylon tea Is better and morn popular, nnd can be made stronger than any other kind u though for ordinary tastes you would have to uso a Jess quantity to make a strong cup of tea. "Ceylon tea. does not require to steep more than three minutes, while China tea takesi four minutes. To make tea nt home, the proper way is to havo two earthenware teapots, heating oii- llrst nnd then putting the tea In, pour Imj freshly boiled water on it, and steeping as above. Then pour off Hie tea into the 1 ther tea pot. having the latter hot and dry. Tea thus mud' may stund ns lrnifus you like, nnd It Is always good. Sleeping tea loo long re leases the tnnnln, which gives the liquid a pungent, sometimes a bitter tlavor." This Is given ns a new departure in the art of tea brewing In gay Paris. For years "Five o'clock teas" have been n popular and pleasant social function in this country, and not only thero, but at tho dally meals, tea Is brewed that way. The dainty nnd fas tidious American ladles learned the art of "How to make tea" long before their $ y& BKVHfftTOlJ 1 mi 9CJnwi;rAraiJH jJk.ti)V1l HwwrATtiira FREE Ell j5."K ill mm Kiarpruf3 RW y 'I'lflta fmiuf PATSJIW AMUSEMENTS.
