ALL THE WAY
# • .
Not a single suit will be reserved, not an overcoat put aside. We simp/
ly mean to close out the whole line as rapidly as possible with a complete
sacrifice of every cent of profit/this we give to you, our customers,
« *
The daily grind of selling keeps merrily on. Splendid Millcr/Made suits
and fine customed tailored overcoats are finding ready buyers rapidly And
why why not/the wonder to us is that they do not come even faster. Think
of getting a Millcr-Madc union suit at about one/third less than regular, is
enough to make men hurry. *
We are fitting suits and overcoats that no tailor can match in quality and
style at double the price. There is no argument about the newness and ex-
clusiveness that Miller.Made docs not answer. For in these paragon gar/
ments the cream of the Union Garment Workers' fine, art tailoring finds ex/
pression. Each is the representative of some workman's ideal. And these
ovcrcoats-.big ones, light ones, long ones, short ones, with the cuff sleeves,
and the new shoulders and and collars / these at cost too.

New York.—Among the literature
of the underworld unearthed from
time to time by tile New York police
a code of' instruction in the art of
safe cracking probably would take tile
prize for originality. This latest con-
tribution to yeggmen's belles-lettres
, reads like a sheet from a eorrespond-
[ ence school on "How to blow a safe,"
| It was found in the rooms of an ener-
getic individual in the Bronx, record-
I ed in the rogues’ gallery as No. 5,000.
He was detained in the hope that he
would explain^ recent robbery. The
treasured document says among oth-
er things:
“The knight of the road should
know his book in order to keep
abreast of the times. I can give you
a general knowledge of all the differ-
ent kinds of safes, their platings, pad
dings, etc., so that once you have a
practical idea of how, to blow one you
are through all right. The ’burglar-
proof’ safe is the simplest thing in the
world to get to. Th’ey are generally
made with an oval tumbler, but the
holt Is so constructed that you can t
do it on the quiet.”
Then follows a line of instruction
on "how to insert the- dope” and how
to get Into a safe, ft advises against
going through the back, as It is likely
to be on solid material, without pack-
ing, and the contents of the safe may
be destroyed In the explosion
The writer gives minute details as
to the peculiarities of safes, the
amount of explosives to use and other
valuable hints.

PROVES EARTH IS NOT ROUND
Judges of Debate Rule for Preacher
Who Claims That It Rests on
Foundation.
Under the ooze and slime of the
river bed, far beneath the hulls of the
great ships that lay at anchor in the
middle of the stream, O'Donovan and
H, .ft ’ought out their quarrel.
O'Donovan had taken Kate’s photo-
graph from his overalls ostentatiously
and kissed it, looking the while insult-
ingly toward his former friend and
conquered rival in the fight for the
girl’s favor. Then he had laid by his
overalls again and squared his naked
shoulders to the spade. This was the
Instant when Healy sprang on him
from behind as a panther springs.
They had no knives, and they could
only cling to one another and batter
each other’s faces with their fists.
1 hey fought alone within the narrow
air-tight zone, out of the sight and
hearing of the rest of the gang.
In front of them the great shield
fitted snugly Into the tunnel which it
had made, and all around oozed the
gray slime, kept from overwhelming
them only by the force of the com-
pressed air, a wall that wavered under
the pressure, sometimes seeming to
advance and then to recede again, and
filtering into small waves that coiled
round their feet as they stumbled j
backward and forward in that wild ]
battle.
At length the fight was over. Healy 1
tripped over the car tracks, and a mo-
ment later O’Donovan had flung him
face downward into the muddy pool."!
He stood over him with his fists
Clinched, his face distorted and the j
muscles leaping at every movement
under the bronzed skin. But Healy I
lay there moaning faintly. He had
been worsted. -
Suddenly faint shouts were heard |
from the midst of the tunnel and the I
muffled ringing of the alarm bell. !
O'Donovan looked round in panic, j
Tlie walls were advancing, walls of
slimy, gray-green ooze-vtscid, clammy !
and foul walls of river mud that wav- 1
ered and broke and trembled as the
leehle power of the compressed air
retained them, and then swept for-,
ward it) a shuddering tidal wave.
With one yell of horror O Doncvan
leaped forward toward the safety of
the tunnel. He ran on and on blindly*
no longer a reasoning thing, but an
animal driven by desperate instinct.
Then far In the distance the faint light
of a bulb burst on his eyes and distant
cries became audible Amd then, re-
called to himself suddenly, he stopped.
He turned each way resolutely Bead* i
of sweat rolled down his cheeks and
he clasped his hands in anguish. He
breathed a prayer.
Then he went back. Swiftly as he
had fled he ran, ankle-deep through,
the soft mud that sucked at his feet,
striding and leaping over the granite
piles and excavations in desperate
hakte to reach the comrade whom he
had abandoned. And now the hiss of
the mud tide resounded in dreadful
Burgles through the hollow tunnel.
He was not an instant too- soon.
The walls were closing together,
spurtiug before, them long lava-like
streams of slime waist-deep around
him. And Healy was standing hard
against the shifeld, clinging to it with j
both hands, held as in a vise by the
slime.
O’Donovan caught his enemy by j
the arms and heaved. His broad hack
strained and marked beneath the ef-
fort. And slowly, very slowly, the mud
yielded its victim. Incji by inch
O'Donovan dragged him! leaving a
wide furrow that instantly closed in
behind him, drawing his half-con-
scious adversary toward the shelter of
the tunnel. *
With a roar like distant thunder the
walls leaped together and a big wave
came’ rolling down on them. It bat-
tered against the roof behind them as
they ran. deluging them with liquid
grime and ooze; it roared behind
them, but faster still they hurried to-
wards safety, until at last they fell
exhausted at the tunnel entrance and
willing hands hauled them up the
shaft together.
When O'Donovan opened hi* eyes
and heard himself called a hero he
surprised himself by bursting into j
tears Then he staggered to Ills feet
and went over to Healy.
"Take this,’’ he said, passing a thin
piece of cardboard Into hts hand "It's
you she loves, Tim. Sure, and I lied |
to yez.”

Asheville, N. C.—The theory of Rev.
3. L Cooka, preacher of the Sancti-
fied Sort church, that "the earth Is not
round but flat like a hat on a fence-
post. was suatnined by the Judges of
a debate hold between ntm and La
Koy Henry, a high school student, la
West Asheville the other night.
Rev. Mr Cooke roHd from the Bible
to show thal the earth had a founda-
tion and asked how it could have a
foundation If tt were flying In spac«
without even a string to Me It down.
If the enrth ts revolving, be mato-
tained. an eagle flying at the rate of
60 miles an hour east would find Itself
In a minute 940 miles west, and If a
baseball was thrown up here high
enough to stay a minute It would laud
In Olive street, st. Louis
The student made the point that the
earth must revolve else there would
be no day or night, but the Sanctified
preacher floored him by quoting from
the Bible tho command that the sun
stand still.

Writer's Lean Days.
Victor Hugo was at the time of Ms
death the wealthiest of nlnateenth
century authors. In his younger days,
however, he knew the pangs of pov!
erty, as after a quarrel with his fa-
ther, Gen. Hugo, he and hls brother
had their allowances stopped “We
made Jlfih last us for IS months One
chop would serve for lunch three
days in succession; on the first day
we would eat tile lean, on the second
day the fat and on the third day w«
wouid suck the bone We (.iscovered
a place In the Quarter Untie where
for 15 sous If, cents) we obta ned a
four-coin st dinner, a bottle of wine
and as mu< h bread as we Mked For
another sou we oh nlned the is etest
of smiles from tho pretty girl who
looked after us.” This readme d0„s
not appear to have spoiled Hugos di-
gestion, for at the age of SS he
cracked nuts With his te to and ate
oranges us some people eat spples—
