All Suits All Overcoats All in the same boat, so far as price reductions are concerned. Everything—no mat ter how new, or how choice, or how much in demand—is in cluded in these January Reductions To-day is a good day to come—or to-morrow or any day that suits you best—for a stock so large and well assorted as ours can't be shot to pieces in one week, nor in two, even under such heavy bombardment as is taking place here now. Lower prices than ours are plentiful enough, but a low price alone never made a real bargain. Price is only half the attraction here —the mer chandise is the other half.

Arm-' igiaard Karl Graves, for twelve years the i Kaiser's spy, in his- lecture last night at the Majestic theatre on inside facts concerning the European struggle, and this declaration tells much of the na ture of his talk. The theatre was not filled, but fairly well occupied by interested persons who did not hesitate to asji questions ot' the speaker at the close of his talk, when lie gave that opportunity. Dur ing the evening several of the women in the audience were busily engaged in knitting for the war sufferers, while listening attentively to all that was said. Few Startling Statements I>r. Graves said little that was start ling. He did not seem to exaggerate in his statements, but gave a remark ably sane and instructive account of present conditions in, Europe, as well as of incidents immediately preceding the outbreak of hostilities. He told some things that may not be generally known, produced his proofs, and, it is safe to say, imposed on nobody's cre dulity. When asked if he,did not think war could be prevented by mutual agree ment between nations, the speaker strenuously objected to the idea that universal brotherly love is possible, asking, "why, if "God intended us all to be alike, did he give the Japs slit eyes f' Some Striking Points The many interesting statements made by Dr. Graves cannot all be re membered by those who hea.rd him, ex cept as they are recalled from time to time as events transpire which thoy concern, .hist of a few of his most striking points were, that German air craft would have nothing to gain by threatening London, for they would ha.ve to sail away after a bombard ment, being able only to attack, not to occupy; that the Germans would have 110 trouble in taking Paris, but would only lose by doing so because an im mense force would be required to gar rison the city when occupied; that Oer niauy will hardly be able to hold Bel ijiuiii when peace is declared; that the Russians are now aiming at Constanti nople, and that Italy will fare well at the close of the conflict, no matter what turn affairs take. SILENCED THE DUKE Ludwig Barnay, the Actor, Put a Crimp in Hia Royal Critic The Duke of Saxe-Meiningen. who died in his eighty-eighth year, nSU be remembered as an enthusiastic support er of the drama. In this connection an amusing story was told by Ludwig Barnay, the actor, in his memoirs. Bar nay was playing at Meiningen in the role of Hamlet.' The performance had begun and trumpets were ushering in the king and prince for the second scene. The advance of the procession was ehecked by a loud "Halt!" from the stalls. It was the Duke, who had entered unnoticed and proceeded to amend the performance. ''That's not the way to do it! In stead of a sulvo of trumpets you must play the Danish national anthem. And the king and prince shouldn't come on together; they haven't met. yet! " '' Nonsense! " murmured Barnay. Unfortunately he was overheard. "And, pray, why is it nonsense, M. Barnay. The actor explained that, according to the text, Hamlet and the king had already met outside. "Of. Grabowsky," called the Duke to the producer, "continue as M. Barnay wishes. He is quite right. I never mind acknowledging a mistake!" The piece proceeded. When the play ers' scene was reached and Barnay was reciting the actor Vpart, with "Aeneas' Tale to Dido," he spoke the lines hesi tatingly. '' M. Barnay,'' interposed the Duk»\ "why did you deliver those lines so badly t" "Because Hamlet- is not an actor, sire, but only an amateur!'' "But Polonius praises his acting!" "Ah, your higness," answered Bar nay, "but then Polonious was a cour tier, and courtiers find everything that princes do marvelous!" The Duke laughed heartily and inter rupted no more that day.

M. Stees. She spoke of the W. C. T. IT. as the largest women's organization in the world. There are 713 members of the organization in this city, many of whom were received during the Stou£h evangelistic campaign through the efforts of Miss Sara Palmer, of the iStough party. It was decided at the meeting to publish a book in whicli should appear the names of all applicants for liquor licenses in the county, together with the signers of petitions and the owners of property rented for saloon purposes.
