Yours truly. I LOUIS LEVI. 1 0 This heading means a great deal, for it is no easy task to per fect every department of an establishmer.t like ours, to handle the volume of trade that we have every reason to expect will be ten dered to us this season. September so far has shown a very lib eral increase over the corresponding period of last year, and if "Coming Events Cast Their Shadows Before" THIS PROMISES TO BE OUR BANNER SEASON. It is indeed gratifying to note the unusual increase in the vol ume of our business, and to say that we appreciate the confidence reposed in us, gives but a faint idea of our feelings. We regard the interest of every person that does business with us as ours, and will do everything in our power to protect them. We cannot give away gold dollars for ninety cents, no reason able person expects that, and wherever you find a merchant offer ing staple merchandise at less than cost, his object is to attract you to his store with a view of selling you something the value of which you are not familiar with, and make up his loss on the lead ing article, as well as a comfortable profit on the other items. Nothing of that character will be tolerated in this store; we de spise it. Our business is based unon a legitimate percentage of profit, and that figured 6n as close a basis as is consistent with in telligent merchandising. It is true, we sometimes sell goods at and below cost, but that only occurs at the end of a season, or when we have erred in buying something that did not prove to be as good a seller as we expected, or bought too freely of certain lines, then we make our loss as quickly as possible, for experience has taught us that the first loss is always the lightest. Our ambi tion ought to be satistied for we are said, by those who are in a position to know. to be The Largest Retail Dealers in the State. And while we might be satisfied to remain just in the position we are, that would be practically impossible, we must go backward or forward, and our mercantile pride will not permit of a-backward step, and each year will find us in the-front rank, seeking new fields, new customers, and keeping fully in touch with the spirit and progress of the city in wiich we take such pride. .

Occasionally the excess of wives In Utah leads to amusing consequences. as when one of the apostles invited a visiting gentile to dinner. The gues1 lost the address and looked up the apostle in the directory. He observed that his hostess, though she answered to the proper name, seemed unprepared for him, and presently he heard her ai the telephone. . "Oh, Emma! Is John living at your house this week? Is he expectinl somebody to dinner today? Very well The gentleman will be there In a few minutes." Then returning to the stranger sh( handed him a paper slip. "You came to the wrong house, sir This is the address you want." On another occasion a little girl came running into the parlor while a visitol was calling. "Mamma, mamma! Papa wants his suit case packed. He is going to liv with Aunt Emma this week."-Leslie' Month!v. An Inheritance of Gestures. A young man in -rossing Chestnu1 street stumbled an : immediately pui his hand, palm outward, over his eyes "Why did you cover your eyes like thatY' asked his companion. "The gesture is au inheritance fromr my father," the young man replied "My father in his boyhood was caughi In a fire, and as the flames shot up into his face he put his left hand, palm outward, over his eyes, thus saving his sight. Afterward he would put his hand in that way over his eyes when ever he got any sudden shock o1 fright. I have done the same thing involuntarily all my life. " Cases like mine are not uncommon,' continued the young man. "There is a woman in Washington who never puts her right hand up to her head. Her mother' broke her right arm early in life and couldn't raise it thereaftei above her shoulder. The daughter can raise her own right arm, but she never does. "A biologist had a goat that he kep1 chained to a pole. The chain galled th& goat's left fore leg, and she limped on this leg slightly, so as to ease the chain's rubbing. In time she became a mother, and her offspring limped on its left fore leg all its life."-Baltimore Herald. The "Illustrious Hybrid." George Sand, or Mme. Dudevant, the famous French woman writer, scandal ized her literary friends by wearing men's clothes. "A long gray overcoat,' she herself says she wore, "a woolen tie and-and-a pair of boots." These boots were her joy. "I longed to sleet with them. On their little iron shod heels I was firm on my feet and trotted from one end of Paris to the other.' She also smoked in public, cigarettes even cigars-so that her teeth werE much discolored. It was this outward mannishness that won for her the title of "Illustrious Hybrid." How ever, her hands were beautifully fem inine. "It was," says one who knew her, "a delicate hand, all grace, tact firmness and flexibility. One could noi dream of a more perfect combination of the French working class woman's and the aristocratic or royal lady's hand." It will be recalled that George Sand boasted, "The blood of kings it mixed in my veins with the blood a1 the poor and lowly." She was, as she termed it, "astride" of the two classes the peasantry and the aristpcracy. SECRETIVE ANIMALS. Trere Are Several That Have thE Food Hiding Instinet. I have sometimes seen a dog bury it the ground a bone for which he did noi seem to have any present need. I have always understood that he did this ai the principle which actuates a prov ident man to lay up something "for rainy day." This may be, thorugh ] have never known a dog to dig up the bone afterward, yet some persons tel: me they have known him to do this I should think the dog must be hard pressed by famine that would attempi to gnaw a bone covered with clay ans dirt, as this bone must be after beini buried in the ground. If the dog hides it away through any such providen1 forethought as this it -must be thi slightest remnant, a mere adumibration of a former instinct of his race. H( does not pursue this practice in the steady, methodical way in which ar ant or a bee or a squirrel lays up i stock of food against a time of need With him it is only :a fitful and rar( occurrence. His long domesticatiot and the ages through which he has re ceived his food from the hand of hit master have obliterated largely the sense of this necessity from his mind if he may be supposed to have a mind. The fox when he has had the good fortune to capture several fowls at the same time will, it is said, secrete such as he has no present need for under s bush or behind a log. I remember that in Rowland Robinson's pleasant book, "Sam Lovel's Boy," a young fox is rep. resented as doing this. "He began burying the leg of a lamb in the loose earth, but desisted when he saw the eyes of all his mates were upon him, then unearthed the half buried treasure and sought a new hiding place." I dc not understand that the wolf had this food hiding instinct Gilbert White of Selborne says in his quaint way thai he had "some acquaintance with a tame brown owl" which when full hid. like a dog, what he could not cat. "The origin of most of our domestic animals," says Darwin, "will probably forever remain vague. But I iy here state," he continues, "that, looking tc the domestic dogs of the whole world, I have after a laborious collection of al] known facts come to the conclusion that several wild species of canidac have been tamed and that their blood in some eases mingled together flows in the veins of our domestic breeds." He mentions a dog whose great-grandfa ther was a wolf, and this dog still be trayed its wild ancestry in the~ fact that it never approached its master in a straight line when called. But whicla species of the canidae from which the dog may have descended has the food hiding instinct or habit I have nowhere seen stated.-Forest and Stream. Tax Notice.
