TRAGEDY OF MOTHER-HEART RG’S FACE READ INM No more striking figure than the elder Mrs, Fosburg has ever figured in fietion or the romances of real life. Her courage, her admirable self-control and her sublime faith in the eventual vindication of her son are qualities which make her the inspiration and solace of the uccus- ed and the rest of the family. She has suffered, and the end is not yet, but she conducts herself with a stoicism and calm dignity in the|” Jace of much that most torture her soul. Mrs, Ayer's picture of her is admirably drawn, and no detail of a} most interesting and lovable char:- : ter is lost in the telling, BY HARRIET HUBBARD YER.

As explained before, we carry no goods from season to season. Prior to stock takings (Aug. 1 and Jan. 1) we sell out—be the loss what it may—all lots of mer- chandise that in our judgment should not be inventoried. It stands to reason that in a business running up into the millions errors should creep in, and these we correct twice a year. Expensive as it may seem to do it—for we take great losses—it would be more expensive still in the long run not to do it. But please do not judge the scope of the sale by the extent of our advertisefhents. We do not print one bargain in twenty—why should we? People know all about this sale—we have had eight or nine of them already—and the mere announcement of it crowds the store. Come, and come at once. You’lJ not regret it. You'll find bargains galore on every one of our five great selling floors—bargains that we are proud to offer—bargains that you will be glad to buy!

Once every year, in the month of July, we donate: a certain percentage of a week’s gross sales to charities that in our humble opinion are performing commend-, able work and in which we take a personal interest. The percentage of Monday’s sales will go to! the New York Herald Free Ice Fund. The percentage of Tuesday's sales. will go to the Nazareth Day Nursery. The percentage of Wednesday’s sales will go to the New York Tribune Fresh Air Fund. and it is gratifying to state that the sales of each of these 3 days having been in excess of last year—each: of the 3 charities named will receive a larger amount than last year. u The percentage of to-morrow’s sales will be divided between the Jersey City Journal and Newark News Fresh Air Funds, and we hope that the results achieved will again prove larger than the corresponding day last year.
