The New and Beautiful
Tailored Suits
For Spring Await You Here.
New is the word which fittingly describes the '
Spring Suits when speaking of them in a general
way. Alike in name only to the Etons and short
fitted Jacket styles of former seasons. The many
novel changes in designs mark them as different
as black is from white. They're clever and you'll
praise the designers for holding to the favored
Etons and Jacket effects, and for their ability at
the same time to evolve modes so entirely differ
ent and new. The showing is now large enough
for your inspection, although not yet complete,
and, as usual, our prices are absolutely the lowest.
Suits at 15, 20, $25, 30 and up.

leaving no clew behind. The robbery
was not discovered for hours.
Mr. Lackey had $500 In bis safe on
Saturday morning, and it Is believed
that In some manner the thieves learn

o'clock Sunday morning. The thieves

thieves, a piece of soap and a bottle
opposed "to have contained nitro
glycerin were found on the floor of the
store. The door of the safe was lying
on a heavy cloth, which had evideatly
been placed to prevent the metal door
from making a noise by falling on the
floor.
After the theft became known per
sons who live in the vicinity thought
they C'lld remember having heard a;
explosion early Sunday morning, but
there Is so much blasting on Neville Is
land now Hint no person could be sure.
The papers in the safe were found
scattered nil ver the floor, but other
wise there was nothing disturbed.
Police of Pittsburg and Allegheny
were octil)d of the theft and believe
that "yepgmen" are to blame. Two
ramps were seen loitering in the vi
cinity of the store Saturday, and the
police believe they may know some
thing of the theft. "Yeggtnen" Is the
police name for thieving tramps.

Were Treated by Their Generous
Host as One of the Family. .
A group of American commercial
travellers were telling yarns on the
subject of hospitality, when one of
them took up his parable thus, says
the Queenslnnder:
"I was down in Louisiana traV'
ellln cross country, when we kinder
got lost in a lonesome sort of road
Just about dark, and when we saw a
light ahead I tell you It looked first
rate. We drove up to the light, find'
in' 'twas a house, and when I hoi
lered the man came out, and we
asked him to take us In for the
night. He looked nt us mtghty hard
then said, 'Wall, I reckon I kin stand
it If you kin.'
"So we unhitched, went in, and
found 'twns only a two-room shanty
and Just swarmin' with children. He
had six from four to 'leveu years old,
and as there didn't seem to be but
one bed, mo an' Stony was .wonder
in' whnt in thunder would become of
us.
"They gave us supper, and then
the old woman put tho two youngest
kids to bed. They went straight to
sleep. Then she took thoBe out, laid
them over In the corner, put the next
two to bed, and so on. After all the
children were asleep on the floor, the
old folk went In to the other room
and told us we could go to bed if we
wanted to, and, beln' powerful tired
out, we did.
"Well, sir, the next morning when
we woke up wo were lying over in
the corner with tho kids and the old
man and the old woman bad tho
bed!"
Heredity.
A parliamentary candidate wns
being heckled. One of the questions
had reference to tho religious de
nominations to which he belonged.
"Well," he said, "you have asked
me an honest question, nnd you shall
have a straightforward answer. My
grandmother wns a Scotswoman
rigid Presbyterian."
Disappointment was shown on the
faces of the audience, so tho candl
date proceeded:
"My grandfather wns English, and
therefore a member of the Church of
England."
Still no enthusiasm, but rather
the reserve. '
"My father, on the other hand.
was a good Baptist, went on the
desperate candidate, who was still
unrewarded by applause. He grew
nxlous, so hurriedly added: "But
my dear old mother, long since dead,
was a Methodist."
Instantly all faces were radiant.
so he concluded:
"And, gentlemen, I follow the pre
cepts of my dear old mother. I'm
a Methodist and I don't enre who
knows It!" London Dally News.

A Tip on Botany.
William C. Whitney, Jr., who has
spent a year in Indian Territory
learning practical mining at Qua
paw, described nt a dinner party in
New York a Qunpaw restaurant,
says the New York Tribune.
"At this restaurant one evening,"
he said at his description's end, "two
miners near me got Into a bo'anlcal
argument about the pineapple, one
claiming that it was a fruit and the
other that It was a vegetable.
"In the midst of their argument
the waiter entered in his shirt
sleeves and looked about to see what
was the cause of the loud talking.
"'The miners decided to let tho
waiter settle their argument, and ac
cordingly one of them suld:
' 'Pete, what Is a pineapple? Is
It a fruit or a vegetable?'
"Tho waiter, flicking the ash from
his cigar, smiled at the two men with
pity..
' 'It's neither, gents,' he said. 'It'a
an extra.' "
A Testimonial.
There is a clever and gallant
young fellow attached to the British

reputation us a wit.
One afternoon the clever attache
was receiving the finishing touches
at the hands of a prety manicurist
when, with limpid eyes, she looked
at him and said:
'We are so grateful for any testi
monials from our patrons. Do you
mlud?"
"On the contrary, I should be de
lighted," responded the Briton.
Then, taking a card, he wrote there
on the following and handed It to
her:
"There's a divinity that shape!
