This Notable July Clearance Sale Is
Out-Distancing Previous Events.
A month's selling packed into a lew days that's the result
of this phenomenal event to date. To be sure we have never
before sold goods at such marvellously low prices; but, too, we
have never sold so mnch in so brief a time.
The tremendous selling ot the past few days has reduced
quantities, but it hasn't upset assortments. There is still a
wealth ot "plums" to be picked by the woman who recognizes
bargains genuine bargains.
Have you attended this great sale? If not, it will be well
worth an extra trip to town if necessary, to profit before the
curtain goes down Saturday night on a Clearance Event that
has been little short of epoch-making.

HEADED OFF BY DIPLOMACY
Kitchener's Smooth Way of Keeplnp
Egyptians From Mixing In Turco
Italian War.
Egypt la actually a Turkish province,
although the British control Is so
complete and tenacious that the sov
ereignty of Turkey Is of the most
shadowy kind. None the less Turkey
hns the nominal right to order the
Egyptian army to cross the frontier
Into Tripoli and to help In the discom
fiture of the Italian Invaders. Hut al
though Turkey has wisely refrained
from Issuing orders that would not be
obeyed there has been a desire on
the part of many Egyptian officers to
volunteer In he cause, and these of
ficers have askrd Lord Kitchener's per
mission to absent themselves from
their posts for that purpose. Lord
Kitchener's reply, quoted In the Fort
nightly Review, shows a certain sar
donic humor that must be classified
among the finer weapons of diplomacy.
He says he would gladly give the de
sired permission, but he fears that the
upward pressure In the Junior ranks of
the Egyptian army would compel him
to place the absentees on the retired
list, which would be a grievous return
for patriotic valor. So he advises them
to curb their heroic ambitions, so
natural to Egyptians, and stay at
home. TO a number of nomad Bedou
ins, who made similar applications
Lord Kitchener expressed his surprise
that they should wish to fight at all.
Not having regarded them in the light
of warriors, he had never Included
them in the Egyptian conscription, an
error that should be henceforth cor
rected in view of their martial In
clinations. Thereupon the Bedouins
decided that there was no place like
home.
Examine Your Own Prejudice.
Every one is forward to complain o
the prejudices that mislead other mei
or pnrtles, ns If he were free, and ha
none of his own. This being objectec
on all sides, It is agreed that It Is I
fault and a hindrance to knowledge
What now is the cure? No other bu'
this, that every man should let alont
others' prejudices and examine hli
own. The only way to remove thli
grent cause of ignorance and error ou'
of the world Is for every one impartial
ly to examine himself. Locke.

Mother of Six Fine Babies Glad
Receive Advice of Stats
Board.
to
Dr. J. N. Hurty, secretary of the
state board of health, some time ago
conceived the idea of sending to the
mother of every baby reported at the
end of every month some educational
material from the state board office,
together with a polite note wishing the
mother and child well, and offering to
help the mother In any way the board
might do so to enable the baby to be
started right In Its life battle. In re
ply to one of the communications, Dr.
Hurty a few days ago received the
following letter:
-I would like to inquire as to the
nature of the help you are prepared to
give to the mother of six fine, healthy
youngsters. 1 doubtless shall wish
advice, as sixty dollars a month
doesn't admit of extensive fees to a
physician, and 1 feel that as a woman
who has made the struggle 1 have to
give my offspring the mental, physical
and moral status which Is theirs 1
should have all the aid possible.
"There is not an old soldier, no
matter how bravely he has fought, so
deserving as a faithful wife and
mother. 1 thank you very much for
your kind offer." Indianapolis News.
Dragon Not China's Emblem.
As shown in Its prompt repudiation
by the republic of China, the dragon
was not the emblem of China; It was
the emblem of the late Imperial fam
ily of Manchus. This Oriental dragon
is one of the powers of the air, al
though wingless; one of the forces of
nature which the Taolst religion has
defied. The dragon kings dwell part-
lv In water and partly on land; their
shrines are for that reason erected on
river banks. The germ of the dragon
idea In the primitive races inheres In
some persistent memory of the great
er lizards, such as the crocodile of
the warmer waters. The Chinese
dragon being without wings is accord
ingly closer to type than is the winged
dragon of the mythology of our more
remote and northern race. As late
as the "Hlstoria animalium" of Con
rad Gesner (1564) science believed
that one had but to travel far enough.
say to the more remote defiles of the
Alps, and he would surely encounter
dragons.
Praise for United States Army.
There is less caddlshness In the
United States army than Is to be
found in military forces elsewhere In
the world. In England the reservists
and the yeomanry are rather snubbed
at the instruction camps and the ma
neuvers by the regulars; at San An
tonio I saw no sight of this. Colum

Miles, Long and Short.
Considering the size of Switzerland
one might expect a mile to be about
as far as one could throw a ball, but
tbe hardy mountaineers think 9,153
yards the proper thing, even when, as
it generally Is, It Is very much up hill
The Swiss Is the longest mile of all
being followed by the Vienna post
mile of 8,296 yards.
The Flemish mile Is 6.S69 yards, the
Prussian 8,237 yards, and in Denmark
they walk 8,244 yards and call it a
stroll of a mill. The Arabs generally
ride good horses and call 2,143 yards
a mile, while the Turks are satisfied
with 1,826 yards, and the Itallnns
shorten the distance of a mile to 1,766
yards, Just six yards more than the
merlcan has in mind when the agent
waves his hand and blandly remarks,
"About a mile."
Gathered In Twelve-Pound Trout.
What is said to be the largest trout
caught In Montana streams was re
ceived from J. W. Scott, proprietor of
the hotel at Arrngtead. It weighed
13 pounds, 8 ounens. From tip ot tail
to mouth It measured nearly three
feet in length, a yardstick extending
an Inch at each end when laid be
side the catch. U was 16 Inches
around the fish, measuring over the
back tins.
The fish was dressed ar.d when re
weighed in ilutte tipped the scales M
