              best advertisements in the world for a Clothing store is the quality, fit, style and price of a fine suit or an elegant overcoat. If the purchaser is pleased with the garment sold him, and saisfied that he has secured a good bargain, he will confidently recommend his friends to make their purchases of you. This sort of advertising is the most valuable of all. The merchant who does not advertise don't know his business. There are arc a great many mediums used for advertising. Advertising through the columns of a newspaper is one way, and we consider it a very good method. But there are many more ways. One of the WITH TTS ! g A. CRAIG T"VANIEI< RAMEY, A.

BENSCOTER, DISTRICT ATTORNEY, Thus tho spirit which animated Damien inspires his successor, and thcro is every reason to anticipate that Father Conrady, who is only thirty-five years of age, will be as truly the apostlo of the lepers us his heroic predecessor was. "If I become a leper the good St. Peter, no doubt, will let me pass all tho easier when my hour conies. Somotimcs, when I am kneeling by tho side of a poor leper, from whom exhales an odor that would put tho most courageous to flight, I often think I am doing a little of my purgatory. What do you think? Kegularly every week a small steamer makes its appearance hero andvory early in the inornm -announces by tho loud blowing of its whistle that lepers have been landed. Then thoso who can hurry to tho shore. Often wo Cud our now comers soaking wet through. Now again begin tho cries and tears, for ono Bees here the meeting again of a husband and wife, or a wife seeing her husband among them; sometimes a child seeing its father .'mother. They take tho names of the new rrivals, and every one sets out to find a lo ing. Although I uni'not a leper, I could u 'cave here to go to any other of these Isla without a proper ccrtiticate from the b id of health. But I have no wish to go any where. My mission is here, and here I'll remain." Mention has already been mado of Miss Nellio Flavin, tho Liverpool young lady who has given up mother, sister, brother and all home ties to work among the lepers, and I understand that yet another Belgian Roman Cathoiic priest, Father Wendolin Moellers, Is on his way to Jlolokai to assist Father Conrady. Writing to ono of his friends, Father Conrady says: At Kalawao, whero Father Damien died and Father Conrady labors, there are yet no assistants, but at a place called Kakatoo, about a mile from tho business part of Ho* nolulu, there is a branch hospital, originally intended to be a placo where persons suspected of being leprous wero to be kept for examination. This hospital is in charge of seven Sisters of Charity, who left Syracuse, N. Y., iu 1883. Owing to tha burden imposed on Father Damien, they have lately taken charge of the femalo patients, and in the branch hospital there are cases as bad as any In Kalawao. It is most satisfactory to learn from the London Figaro that there is no danger of the work of Father Damien being neglected. Three years before the devoted Damien died he had been joined by Father Conrady, who, like Damien, is a Belgian priest. He was ordained for tho mission of Oregon, and worked there for several years until tho self-sacrifice of his countryman prompted him to emulate bis deeds. Be was very popular in Oregon, and many efforts were made to dissuade him from his purpose. SucriOct to Bo Continued. Father Dmmlon't Nobis Work of Self- CARINQ FOR LEPERS.

Tho prope r length of timo to »tay at a tea has never been defined. Elderly society women who aro past the rush and activity of their prime and only go to one tea In an afternoon, sometimes settlo . themselves comfortably in an easy chair and stay two or threo hours chatting with theirfriendsa3 they come and go. Busy society leaders fly into tho house, sip a cup of tea, stay flvo minutes, and dart out again, only to bo driven rabidly to another place, thus going to three or four teas in an afternoon.

I It has been calculated that tho railroads of the world are worth nearly £80,000,000,- 000 (1300,000,000,000) or about one-tenth of the wealth of tho civilized nations, or more than a quarter of their invested capital. At this rato ail tho ready money in the world would buy only about one-third of them. Ralroml Wealth lu the World. O, we had a big time there f<;r awhile, and It was days before v. e could run trains across tho creel; again." "I stopped us quick as I could after we got owr, and if you over saw a delighted Bet of passengers they were there. You sea they didn't know any thing about it 1 uirtil wo wero down i.i the creek bottom, i when they saw the water coming. Seared) j Well, you can bet they wero. Tliey had i been uneasy all tlio way from Eaton, and ' had been coaxing Ed Hoskins—ho was tho conductor- to make me stop running so ! fast, but when wo swung down into tho I creek bottom at tko rato of fifty miles an | hour, they knew something was up, and i when they caught sight of that Hood they ; saw right away what tho matter was. They ' got out on tho bank and acted foolish, I cheering mo and throwing their hats in tha | air and shaking hands with me and saying: 'God bless you,'and all that, kind of thing. "When wo reached tho bank of tho creek it was nearly dusk, but X could seo tho water coming only a few rods above, foaming and roaring, a solid wall si* feat high, full of timber and wreckage from tho Kansas Pacific bridge a few miles abovo, and I thought at first I would not chanco it, but just as I was about to blow the brakes I caught sight of Colonel Fisher on the other side, waving his I t to mo to come on, to I pulled her wide open and wo plunged down in the holo and wriggled up tho other side just seventy seconds before tho water struck tiie track and wiped it out of existence with u roar. "Tho message was signed by Colonel Fisher, tho superintendent, and I know it meant get there, and tho way I lammed tho old machine going over the track that afternoon was a caution. We bad 110 airbrakes in thoso days, and had six stops to make, but wero only sixty-tour minutes from Eaton to Sand Creek. "'Mako all possible hasto to Denver. Water coming down Sand Creek.' "Wo wero an hour lato that afternoon, and when wo reached Baton, forty-eight miles from Denver, wo wero just taking water at tho tank wheg D. JJ. Keeler, who was tho agent at that placo then, came running out to mo with a message, which read: "It was during tho timo wo wero having CO many floods, and tho bridge over Hand crcek had been washed out a few days be fore, and the track ran down over tho sand iu tho bottom of tho creek, which was always dry except when thero \v..s u tlood.

George can tell tho story best, howeveft George Davis is ono of the oldest and best engineers in Denver, says the News of that city. He commenced in 1870 on the old Denrer Pacific, and was firing for Ed Hoskins on old No. 30 when theengino brought the first passenger train to Denver in 1870. In J872 he was given charge of an engiue, and continued iu active service on that line until, owing to sickness, he was obliged to lay off; butthe company, appreciating his valuable services, have him employed in tho Union Depot examining tram bauds as to their knowledge of train rules and duties.
