Does it pay to offer ior sale a common Tapestry Brussels, masquerading as a Five-Frame Body Brussels, or a Cotton Chain Ingrain as a Park Mills All-AVool Extra Super Will it profit in the end to advertise in bold face type such and such a quality of this or that make at an interestingly low price when in reality long metre profits are demanded when the customer swallows the bait and asks to see the goods advertised! We think not. At least we prefer not to do business that way. We'll sell goods just as they are, or not at all.

Pennsylvania Railroad Ifiillottu. , THE NEW UNION STATION AT WASHINGTON. All the passenger trains of the Pennsylvania Railroad will enter and depart from the new Union Station at Wash ington on November 17, 1907, and on the same date the present station at Sixth and B Streets will be closed to traffic. The date is singularly fitting. In 1807 both wings of the Capitol were completed, and now a century later a building even larger is opened for a great public utility, which did not exist at that time. The railroad terminal facilities at Washington have been inadequate for years, particularly at inauguration per iods and on the assemblage of other large gatherings at the Capital. Their improvement was imperative and so it has come about that, by the combined efforts of the railroads and the United States Government, one of the largest and unquestionably the handsomest railroad station in the world is now provided not only for the convenience of the citizens of the United States, but as a notable architectural addition to the great public buildings of the Capital City. It is a monumental edifice and a worthy type of the future structures, which will make Washington the municipal beauty spot of the world. The station including the Concourse is longer than the Capitol and nearly as wide. The waiting room is larger than the hall of the House of Representatives. The con course, which is the train lobby, is longer than the interipr of the Capitol building, if it were one continuous hall, and half as wide. It is the largest building ever con structed for a like purpose. Within this great structure there is every convenience the traveler can desire, so grouped about the central hall as to serve his purpose to the best advantage. The lofty arched entrances face a plaza as large as an ordinary city park, which will be laid out as a plaza and adorned with shrubbery and fountains. The trackage is sufficient for all demands upon it and the entrance to and exit from the trains are separated, the confusion and jostling of hurrying crowds moving in oppo site directions will be obviated. The bigness of the station is impressive ; its utilities obvious. Silkdm (k we have decided to lake half Silberberq Co. $691,000.00 Treasurer, H. R. MERRITT. Explanation of Mikado's Message, WashlnRton, Nov. 12. TheTnpanese Ambassador expressed regret that a nassaee In an Imperial rescript on ed uontion. issued on Oct. 30. 1890, and read every year on certain festival oc casions, admonishing subjects or Ja' pan to offer themselves to the state la cases of emergency, had been Inter' nroted in published reports from Hon olulu as a special message from the emperor relative to the celebration of bis birthday. The ambassador sam that it is not the emperor's practice to issue a message on his birthday and that the passage quoted in the re ports, "should emergency arise, offer yourselves courageously to the state," is simply an excerpt from the 17-yeaf-old rescript addressed by the Emperor to Japanese students through the min ister of education.

The man did. mid then Lincoln said: "I cannot represent you, for you are wrong, mid the other party Is right." "That Is none of your business If I employ you," said the client. "Pardon me," said the mnn who aft erward became president; "my busi ness Is never to defend wrong. I nev er take a case that is manifestly wrong." "Well, but you can make trouble for the other fellow."
