The Success of our Removal Sale
Has far exceeded our expectations, and we feel very grateful to those who by their purchases, are reducing to a minimum
oar arduous undertaking. It is one of the few cases on record of mutual benefit, for while it lightens our burden in
oving, it gives to our patrons such values as they had never been accustomed to before. Each day since the inaugura
ion of this sale, has brought us larger crowds than the preceding ones, the only explanation being that it is becoming
thoroughly understood that we are doing exactly what we said we would,
. Selling Everything at Cost.
It mattters not whether you want Dress Goods, Trimmings, Domestics, Flannels, Blankets, Underwear, Hosiery, Shoes,
lothing, Hats or Groceries, the rule applies the same and our positive instructions to salesmen in the various depart?
ments are
Sell Everything at Actual Cost.
Some of our departments are very much depleted, particularly our Dress Goods, Cloaks and Clothing, but when you consider that on January 1st we had $30,000 worth of goods, it is reason?
able to suppose there'still remains a number of
EXCELLENT VALUES.
Do not defer your visit until it is too late, as you may find some one else has just bought what you wanted. With us it is a case of "First Come, First Served."
While we are very busy we are not unmindful of the faot that this is the season of the year when it suits
Our Farming Friends
Sl'o make their arrangements, purchase fertilizers, and prepare for another year's crop, and we want them to distinctly
understand that we are never too busy to serve them, as it is upon them we largely expect to depend in the future, as
they have been our mainstays in the past.

Tribute to American Woman
Hall Caine, writing to the Sorosis
a locsl woman's clob of Chillicothe,
Mo , under date of Greba Castle, Isle
of Man, says:
"When one considers what the
position of woman was, even in the
most civilized countries, as recently
as one hundred yearB ago, and bow
high a place she has now won for her
self, not only in the statute books of
nations, but iu tbe republic of art, one
cannot but feel that the change ia
even more remarkable than some of
the great material developments
which have distinguished tbe cen
tury
"Speaking as one who has en
life in many countries. I feel that it is
within tbe troth to say that the posi
tion of woman is higher in America
than in any other part of the world,
for this result American women have
no doubt, to thank their own natural
gifts and |*reat independence of mind,
but they have also, I think, to be
grateful to tbe splended chivalry in
the other eex. which is nowhere more
conspicuous than in the best type of
American gentleman.

ORIGIN OF KISSING.
Barawell People.
According to Prof Caesar Lorn
broso, the distinguished Italian crim
inologist, kissing is quite a modern
practice and originated its a very
ourious manner The kiss, as a tokeo
of affection, was unknown to the
Greeks, and neither in Homer nor in
Herodotos do we find any mention of
it Hector did not kiss hie Andro
msche when be bade her farewell ;
neither did Paris press bis lips to
those of the beautiful Helen, and
Ulysses, who was more of a cosmo
politan than any man of bis dsy,
never dreamed of kissing the en
I cbsnttng Circe, and when, after loog
wanderings, he returned home to bia
spouse, Penelope, he satisfied him
self by putting one of bis stalwart
arms around her waist and drew her
to bim.
The people of Terre del Fuego,
says LombroBO, have taught civilized
nations the origin of the deligbtfnl
art of kissing Drinking vessels are
unknown in that country, and tbe
people, when they are thirsty, simply
lie down beside the brooks and drink
the water as tt flows by them It is
evident, however, that infants could
not satisfy their thirst in thfs primi
live fashion, and, therefore, their
mothers have for ages supplied them
with water by filling their own
mouths tret and then letting it pass
through their lips into the expectant
r*? "ths of the little ones In some
pi..ces the banks of the rivers and
brooks are so high that water cannot
be obtained in the usual way, and the
mothers in such places drew it up
through long reeds
Birds feed their young ones in a
Similar manner. They first fill their
o a n m< utlis with water and then
transfer it to the wide open mouths
of the little ones This very ancient
tnstertiHl practice is, according to
Lombn.no, the only source to which
the modern practice of kissing can
be traced The custom of pressing
one mouth to another originated with
the women in Terre del Fuego, who
could only supply their infants with
drink in this manner, and it is pro
sumahle thai they learned the lesson
from the birds Finally we are told
that kissing is an evidence of atavism
and a memorial of that early stage in
our development, "during which
the wife had not yet triumphed over
the mother, nor love over maternity M |
Lombroso's views on this subject j
nays the New York Ueraid ihm"
with the general approval of Beiern? |
isiw. I hough there are some who
point out that this explanation of the
orgiu of kiaaing is not in acoordance
wiih the one handed down to ua by
the old Romans Those latter main
tain that the kisn wus invented by
husbands, who desired to ascertain
in this way whether daring their
absence from home their wives bad
