Along with them were their brothers. There were hundreds of them. They thrilled, as only enthuslas- tle, clean- youth can thrill, the older relatives and friends, who sat with smiling faces at com- mencement exercises of five of the afternoon; to the Broadway boys and giris at the same place in the evening; to the Lincoln stu- dents at the school building; Queen Anne tn the school auditori- um, and to the Ballard high clase at the Gilman Park Methodist church. Youthful Orator Cheered The feature of the Broadway ex ercises, and perhaps the feature of the graduation ceremonies through- out the city, was the address of George Walter Pucher, valedictor- j!an, who is only 16, the youngest boy ever sent from the school.

Saloons Are Introduced, Then in the spring of 1898 came the “cheechacos” in thousands from all parts of the states. Old men who had mortgaged their homes! Youths tn search of hidden fortunes! All rushing tn one horde toward Nome, where gold was to be had. And with them came saloons. It was then the natives first learned to drink the white man's “fire-water,” Squaws homes were wreck and the natives, in their drunken frenzy, set fire to the tall, dry grass, uable foxes were driven into the mountains, The natives neglected their hunt- ing to b ‘ound the saloons.

Tonight I am to flag everybody and warn ’em against delay. Singerman’s Sale is getting to- ward the end of the chapter. The lemons in the Suit Cases are nearly all gone. The has-wassers are on the wane. The sale has been a howling suc- cess right from the “jump off.” Yesterday was a poor day—it rained—so we had time to re- arrange a fine lot of suits. We filled up the front counters with suits for young men. Some are $4.50. Some are $6.50. Some are $8.50. And some are awful, while others are pretty fair. The Men’s Suits same way. Three lots at $5.15, $7.65 and $10.50. Some $20.00 Suits are $14.85. Some are $10.50. What's the difference? Date of vintage, that’s all. But every Suit in the store is marked down, and you simply can’t go wrong, no matter where you buy. Neckties are 3 for a Dollar. Thousands of ‘em. I saw a lot in a Second Avenue window at “55c, worth a dol that weren’t any better. Singerman’s former prices were 50c, 75c and $1.00. Men’s Wool Sweaters are $3.50 instead of $6.50. They’re fine, but altogether too numerous. Hundreds of Men’s Felt Hats are a dollar apiece. They were $3.00. The Hat Man winces every time he sells one, but the boss says, “Let ‘em go; what's the matter with you?” Three dollar Hats for a dollar apiece. Some are fine. Others not. Shirts are 85c and $1.10. They were $1.00 and $1.50. Hand- some patterns, all fresh and new. Got too many, that’s all. The Last of the Lemons In This Garden of Clothes Is Pictured Without Trimmings in the Advertisement Tonight FOR SINGERMAN & SONS Suits that were $12.00 and $15.00 are $7.65. Genuine Antiques Ties are 35c, and Underwear is all reduced. Poros- knit, 35c; “B. V. D.’s,” 40c. All the odd lots even less than half. Some Undershirts of thin muslin like soisette are 25c. They were 75c. Men’s 50c Belts are 35c. The 75¢ ones are fifty-five. This not fora mere handful, but for the whole stock, i Men’s Cloth Caps are 75c. They were $1.50 and $2.00. Enough Scotch in ’em to please anybody but a Heelander! Dutchess Trousers (one-dollar-a- rip-kind), are all reduced: $2.50 for $1.95; $3.50 for $2.95; $5.00 for $3.95. Not a big cut, you i. but enough when you they’re the cheapest in the ‘Comal even at full regular prices. There’s a big lot of Boys’ Hats, Soft Felt Hats, that were $2.00 to $3.00. They’re 75c apiece. And nearby a pile of Men’s Vests, Wash Vests that were $1.50; theyre 85c. And Men’s 25c “Silk Lisle” Sox are 15c a pair. It is impossible to give all the de- © tails sale, though. There’s a lot to Tt that doesn’t appear on the surface. Everything’s reduced. Some — things a little, some things very much. : But the sale keeps up from day to day because the fellows who buy go around and brag about the sale. ® Those who buy the “has-wassers” brag the most. And they hang around the store and talk about their clothes, just as if it was news to us! Nevertheless we're glad everybody feels good—it shows the sale is doing what we want it to do—clearing house, getting rid of odds and ends and making new friends. Even a store that’s been for forty years, like Singerman’s, can afford to get some new ones once in a while. Sale resumed tomorrow at 9 and continued till 10 o’clock at night. a SINGERMAN & SONS, Second and Seneca St. By George Francis Rowe, Advertising and Selling Agent. FEAR RACE WAR NEW WESTMINSTER, B.
