, WORTH WHILE.
KLLA WHSJCLKB WILCOX.
It Is easy enough to hu pleasant
When life flows by like a sons,
Bui the man worth while Is the one who will
stnlle
When everything goes dead wrong.
For the test of tbe heart Is trouble.
And it always comes with the years.
And the smile that Is worth the praise cf
the earth
is tbe smile that shines through tears.
It is easy enough to be prudent
When nothing tempts you to stray;
When without or within no voice of sin
Is luring your soul away.
But it's only a negative virtue
Until it is tried by fire,
And tbe life that is worth tbe honor ot earth
Is the one that resists desire.
By the cynic, the sad, tbe fallen,
Who had no strength tor the strife.
The world's highway is cambered to-dity;
They u ake up the item ol 111«,
But the virtue that conquers passioH,
And the sorrow that bides in a smile.
It is these that are worth I he homage ot earth,
for we lind them butouce in a while. I

The second lot of bargain
coats go on the table to-day.
Room, time, and stock are ths
factors—room, not enough
time, too little—Stock, too
much—if you can figure out
the combination the prices and
goods are here to prove it
Black Cloth in rough and
smooth qualities made with
notch collars and lap seams is
reduced from $5 and $6 to
$3.71, all ^ length.
Plain black cloth with As
trakhan fu r collar and faced with
Astrakhan fur,notch collar and
lap seams, is reduced from £8
to $4.90, all I length,
A fine black Cheviot and
other cloths, lap seams, notch
collar, smoked pearl buttons,
half lined with satin; altogeth
er one of the finest and best
lines of moderate-priced coats
we have shown this season,
are reduced as follows :
$10.00 down to $6.75.
$11.50 down to $7.50.
$12.50 down to
$15.00 down to
$17.00 down to $12.50.
These garments are all
made with speial care,the cloth
fine, the fit perfect, and only
the overcrowded condition of
our salesrooms makes these
emphatic reductions possible.
As some of the lots are small
an early selection will be ad
advisable.
We are tar enough along to
add two lots of Children's
Coats to the bargain table.
First, a mottled blue and white
child coat with military cape,
in 6, 8, 10 and 12 years, which
sold from $5.50 to $6. all go
to the one price—£2.75. Sec
ond, a fine grey" and grey
stripe cloth, made with cape,
satin lined hood and full strap
ped back. They are in 6, 8,
10 and 12 years, which sold
from $9 to $10.50. They all
go the one price of $7.90.
Our Handkerchief Depart
ment did the largest business
of its existence. Some left
overs may still interest you—
such as 25 dozen gentlehien's
handkerchiefs, all pufe linen.
which were 20 and 25 cents,
are now 12^ and 15.
Another is an odd lot of la
dies' handkerchiefs, white em

of 25 , and one small lot of
mourning handkerchiefs, the
