Getting in Shape For
Fall Campaign.
It is sometime" good business policy to lake losses rather than carry
goods over into another year ; at least we think so. We believe there is
money made in assuming these losses, even though we wiuce at the time, for
it leaves our stock bright nd fresh and frees us from the handicap so mauy
of our competitors are struggling under.
We make mistakes occasionally, just as often, perhaps, as anyone
else does, but when e God we have erred in judgment we try and remedy it
at soon as we can. A mistake means a loss; oftimes a big one. Hence these
prices:
A choice of about 50 patterns of Foulard Silks, all our $1, II 25 and
tl 50 grade, at 59c yard. Many may doubt this assertion, but our word for
it not yard of this lot cost less than 75o, while most of them cost 92 c
and some as high as $1.15 a yard. This is a big loss to us, but we made the
serious mistake of buying 200 patterns, where 100 would bave answered.
We've sold about the latter quantity, and in our judgment the only way to
make a clean sweep of the balance is to assume this great loss.
Also a choice of about 50 patterns of our 75c and 85c Foulard Silks
at 40c yard. Not an old one in the lot ; not a single poor pattern. They're
not only well worth the price we originally asked for them, but they're as
good as lots of stores charge f 1.00 for.
Carpets at Less Than Cost.
Ten patterns ot best 10 wire Tapestry Brussels at 49o a yard. Not
bad patterns either, but some that we've carried over for a season or two
and we want tbein to move.
300 or Jlore Rug Lengths at -13r, 63c and 98c Each.
Some of these are of Trpestry Brussels, some Velvets, Wiltons, Ax
minsters, Moquettes, etc. They're just in right lengths for rugs, and are
particularly cheap.

A Jtorsnoodr Injunction.
A etrnnge old world privilege, dating
back to the time when the Norsemen
came to Normnndy, was exercised last
year In the Island of Guernsey. It Is
called the "Clamour de Hiiro." . Py the
ancient law of the Island n person who
thinks his land rights are Iwlng In
fringed upon has only to draw up a
statement of the case, which he swears
to liefore two witnesses. This he then
presents to the bailiff of the Island nnd,
dropping upon one knee, erics out in
French: "Oh, Hollo, my prince, succor
me: 1 nm wrongedl"
This proceeding nets as nn Injunc
tion, nnd the person complained of as
trespasser has to stay his trespass un
til the matter has Ivcen adjudicated up
on by the courts. This right of Issu
ing one's own Injunction by calling nn
to Hollo was given to the people of
Guernsey by liollo or Ilrolf. the Nor
wegian pirate who made himself the
first Puke of Normandy In 1)11, nnd
there Is probnbly no example of n legnl
procedure of like antiquity which Is to
day carried out In the same way ai
tbnt In which It was first Instituted.
Greek llaslianil llonsekeepero.
Ill Greece it Is the custom for the
man of the house to go out early In
the morning nnd not only to order the
day's fond, but to send along with the
boy who delivers It explicit orders bow
he wishes to have It conked. In this
connection It should be remarked tbnt
any man of Greece can cook any Greek
dish. Grecian women seldom go to
market and often do not know how to
cook ns well as their husbands.
These icoplo cut very lightly In the
morning, the meal consisting of fruit.
At noon comes the first real meal,
the breakfast. From noon until 4
o'clock they sleep. This is the mid
day siesta. To call upon it Greek at
this time were quite as rude as to call
upon an America n at a corressnding
hour In the morning. At 4 o'clock an
other light luncheon Is eaten. The din
ner, or hearty meal, is not eaten until
late in the evening, sometimes ns late
as 0 or 10 o'clock. Good Housekeep

Yon may buy upon the street flowers

they fall to pieces at a breath like a

Colorado Guide Says President's Les

Rifle, Col., Aug. 19. W. E. Tribble,
one of the oldest guides on the west

swathed in bandages and splints and
bruised and broken In body and spirit.
He credits President Roosevelt's lea
sons In the use of a hunting knife twe
years ago with saving his life.
Tribute had gone out Into the nioun
tains hunting and flfhlnr, and sv
raught away from camp without hit
rifle by a hungry grizzly, which dis
p a ted his path. Usually bears are tot
timid to give fight, but this animal
took the aggressive from the start
and Tribble had to fall back on his
hunting knite, the only weapon he poa
sessed. He said of the encounter:
"I always thought I would be In a
hurry when I met a bear, and he
looked huge and businesslike. 1
creased him and then he came for me
landed on my left arm and then
scratched my face. I was not long
in getting my knife out then, and had
got over being scared, and I stabbed
him good and straight, right when
Teddy showed us the place, and Teddj
was right because the thing rolled
over, and I knew he was mine. I wa
just getting ready then to feel my
arm hurt and my head was bleeding
badly, when the mate hove In sight

In one of the suburbs of Paris a
wealthy merchant died the other O.iy,
and oil the evening of the fiuu nil his
lielshlHirs witnessed a curious cere
mony. Ail hour before the Innly was to be
taken to the cemetery the relatives of
the dead man, live or six In number,
went out Into the garden adjoining the
house nnd walked solemnly ami silent
ly around It. Each curried a lantern
and kept his eyes llxed on the ground,
as though be were looking for some
thing. Finally they all balled In front
of a Inrge pile of stones nnd, laying
aside their lanterns, proceeded to throw
down the pile. After every stone bad
been removed they examined minutely
the sHt on which the pile had rested
and then slowly and with bowed heads
returned! to the house.
This Is an old Norma n custom, and it
is observed In this Instance liecnuso the
dead man was n native of Glson. There
Is a tradition In Normandy that before
burying a IhmI.v nil the ground around
his dwelling should be searched In or
der to make sure that the soul has not
hidden Itself somewhere. At one time
every family in Normandy faithfully
observed this tradition, but now only a
few pay heed to It.
