This floor is occupied by six live departments—the Crockery and Chinaware, Ladies’ Cloaks and Suits, the Millinery, the Art and Pic- ture Frames, the Pianos and Music, the Toys and Santa Claus Novelties, After December 15th we will be obliged to discontinue the giving of Green Trading Stamps all over the store until day after Christmas, because of the extra work it entails upon our cashiers, To induce early Christmas shopping—particularly in those departments that will feel the holiday rush more geverely than most other de- partments of the house—we have determined to give double the usual number of Gireen Trading Stamps from tomorrow to the 15th of Dec. NOW IS YOUR TIME TO PUSH FORWARD THE FILLING OF YOUR BOOK. OPENING OF TOYDOM IN OMAHA g Monday morning Toydom has its annual reopening. We want every body in Omaha, man, womau, boy and girl, to see the entrancing display of Toys and juvenile delights, Dolls, Doll Furniture, Wagons, Sleds, Games, Building Blocks, Trains, Engines, Automobiles and hundreds of mechanical contriv- ances that are marvelously cute and astonishingly low priced.

New Orleans celebrates this festival in a way that justifics the epigrammatist who gave it the title of “the city of the carnival, Opened for Monday's sale, 100 fine Peau de Sole Silk Walsts—in black, white, light biue, pink, Finished lined the Creole and the crab.” Of fetes and festivals there 1s no end In the Crescent | City, and the celebration of Al! Saints’ day 1s in its way hardly less memorable than the better known observance of Mardi Gras. Practicaily all the old customs of the day, dating back to 9%, when it wao inatituted by the Abbot of Cluny, are still | regarded. The whole population attend mass in the morning, and then during the day repair 10 the cemeteries, where floral wreaths and | other emblems of love are laid on the tombs. Nor 18 this a mournfyl occasion, for you are greeted everywhere by a profusion of gay flowers, and outside the cemetery gate florists, cake venders, refreshment den’ers and praline women stand in line, not unlike venders at a country fair, save that there 18 no vociferous hawking of wares. As the people pass into the rural grounds they are met by orphan children under the espfona of sisters. The little ones usually wear pink costumes and have a picturgsque ap- pearance. Their importunity is something | you may not ignore., for not only do they tap thelr metal contribution plates with coins to attract your attention, but if that ruse falls, they do not hesitate to raise thelr volces in clamorous appeal® In the cause of sweet charity. The City of the Dead. Perhaps nowhere else in the world is the term “city of the dead” so appropriate to a cemetery as In this quaint delta town. Here, since the water oozes coplously when one digs a few feet beneath the surface, nll | bodles have to be interred in tombs rather | than in graves, those of wealthy famil'es belng often elaborate mausoleums, sur- | mounted by statues and adorned with bas- rellefs; those of poorer people, vaults of brick, covered with stucco. “ The sight of a New Orleans cemetery on ‘All Baints’ day is not easlly forgotten by & northern visitor. The brilllant autumn. sunlight falls on a gleaming city of white, throwing Into sharp rellef delicate chisel- ing on costly tombs, and as the stranger stands beneath the arched gateway and looks down the long streets shadéd by the ‘verdure of semi-tropical trees and flanked by glorfous displays of flowers, he gets an illusion of thab other city of stately splen- dor which sits “by the crystal sea.” New Orleans, bemeath its galety, is intensely weligious and tenderly reverent toward the departed, sparing no expenso to make their “westing place one of loveliness. Many a stranger on All Saints' day en- Joys musing in the oldest cemetery of the «city, Bt. Louls No. 1, for here, among the tombs huddied together In confusion, are Interesting reminiscences of the olden days. Threading one's way through the alleys, one not infrequently stumbles upon & slab bearing this inscription: ‘“‘Mort sur le champ d'honneur.” Not far away ls- another slab, which in reforence to a sim- flar tragedy says simply: ‘Poor Charlle, X. 8. These topbs and many like them recall the fact that New Orleans in the old days was under “the code” and that duelling was tho disastrous passion of its high born youth. Probably the quaintest of the city's burial | places is the little coemetery on Loulsa | street, known as the Pepe Lula, called | after a famous Spanish swordsman of that | name. Pepe Lula, besides being a mes- | ter of-thes word and a famous duelist, | was, curlously enough, sexton of the littie cemetery that bore his name, and ft was commonly sald in his litetime that hg-main- | tained the place 4& a convenienco for in- | terring his own victims. He is known to Bave killed sixteen men on the field of | honor, and to have ministered at the obse- quiea of several of them. The other cemeteric: of New Orleans— and there are many—are among the show places of the city, and are eusy of access, because the routes of the New Orieans stréet rallway are so arranged ‘as to In- clude them all. A Famous Shrine, A ilttle shrine which bas become famed | for its cures has given name and fame to the cometery in which it stands. This was ereoted to Bt. Roch as the result of an ap- parent miracle during tWe epldemic of vel- Jow fever which ‘visited New Orleans in | 1806-7. Francis Thevis, for many years the .Pevered priest of the Holy Trinity church, | made & vow to St. Roch that it all his | flock were spared he would erect a chapel to the saint.

The good priest remembered his vow, s with his own hands built the little chape from which 8t. Roch’s Santo Campo ceme tery takes Ilte name.

The Dalat-Lama, hign priest and pre- tended pope to the entro Buddhist world, ruled the theocratic siate with absolute sway, and ucknowledged not even the su- zeralnty of the Chinese emperor, who had bartered away the right to enter the lama's land. By diplomacy of almost unexampled subtlety, however, the agents of the czar brought forta fruis, and in November of 1900 the chanceilor of the Dalal-Lama ten dered to the Russian plenipotentlary the symbolic presents due to the “Lord and i Guardian of the Buddhist Faith,” a title formerly held by the Chinese emperor, which had l«id dormant for ten years. The prectigo in Asia thus bestowed on the monarch at §t. Petersburg was comparable to that enjoyed by the ruler holding the title of Holy Roman Emperor in medieval Europe. Thibet's independence not being recog- nized by the powers, the czar then sought to have his moral advantage made legal by confirmation from the Chinese em- peror. To accomplish this he favored the intrigues of the grand chancellor, Yung Lu, at Peking. A daughter of the chancel- llor was married to Prince Chun, and a Pu-lun. Since then Yung Lu has been plotting to place his nlece's husband, | Pu-lun, on the throne. The empress dow- ager, Yung Lu, and all the foreigner- hating contingent realized that the execu- tion of this scheme might bring down | Buropean intervention, so they sought and found an ally in the csar, whose Interests were vitally opposed to the opening of | China. The czar demanded his price, which Yung Lu paid in the fall of 1%2 by a | treaty bearing on Thibet. There are four parts to this document.—The Russian Deal.

This convention signed, Thibet became in foct and name & Russiap provirce, commer- clal privileges alone being reserved to China. For the first time in history, too, English and Russian borders met. - Eng- land’s pollcy of protecting her eastern pos- sessions by Intermediate, or “buffer” states fell in respect to 2,000 miles of her frontler. Owing to the proximity of Thibet to India the change is more of a menace than would be even the extension of Siberfa to the Himalayas. The Dalal-Lama's claims as pontiff of Pan-Buddhism are gradually be- ing accepted by the Buddhist clergy . of Assam and Burma, both in British India, and his influence is growing at a marvelous rate. It is estimated that in these two provinces above 5000000 persons acknowl- ¢dge him as supreme. It is almost an ex- act reproduction of the papal power in medleval Europe. The result has been only what could have been foreseen. Treaties with England have been ignored. English emissaries have been treated with scorn at Lhassa and English missionaries plllaged ond exposed to vultures on the hills. The Dalai-Lama refused to treat with Colonel Younghusband when he journeyed Into Thibet recently, until he and his mission returned to Indian territory. He fortified his camp, refused to move and is bringing refuforcements to decide the issue. York Commercial Advertiser. QUAINT FEATURES OF LIFE.
