A Word to the Man of the House
About His Clothes
You probably know, sir, that this store is the home of
the celebrated "Brokaw'' and "Ilirsh-Wickwire" clothes for
men, and perhaps your knowledge of these clothes ends there.
You pay your tailor bills regularly, and grumble about their
size, yet your mind is lirmly made up that ready-to-wear clothes
will never do for you. You call them "hand-me-downs." You
consider your tailor with his endless fittings and disappoint
ments a sort of necessary evil, but you see no relief.
Xoiv, sir. in many respects we believe you are right. The
kind of clothes your mind pictures as "hand-me-downs" de
serves the name, and if you know nothing of "BrokawV or
"Ilirsh-WickwireV" clothes, you, of
course, can do nothing but pay trib
ute to some tailor. But you've never
proposition. Well, now, we will just
taken the trouble to inquire into this
''Brokaw'' or "llirsh-YVickwire''
say this:
We sell hundreds of "Brobavfs'
and "Hirsh- Wiclwire's" garments
each year to men who previously
paid "tailor Mis." Lei's male a
envert of you this year. Prices'
wo, are much lower than tailors'.
Suits, $25 to SI 5
Rain Coats and Top Coats,
from $25 to $10
The superb showing of imported
effects, the beautiful spring color
ings, the complete mastery of style
detail that the makers show in their
productions all these things will
interest you.

"LORD OF TOE EAST" IN PERIL
fi Eome Faots About Vladivostok, Eussia's
NiJLA. Stronghold in biberia.
; rTuR0WTH STUNTED BY WINTER'S INTENSITY

If of' Cares, Chlun, and the

It was characteristic of the, Russian na
tion when It chose tha name of Vladivos
tok, which means "Lord of the East."
But lika so many olden promises which
orijrlnute on Russian soil. It hus failed to
fulfll the prophesy of its name, ferhajji,
It Is the intensity of the winters which
stunts the growth of these promises. He
that as it may, Vladivostok remains, sfier
a trial of more than forty years, neither
"Lord of tha Kust" nor of Itself.
Situated In eastern Siberlu, on an arm of
Hut Jupiui sea, called "Bay of I'eter the
Oreat," It is beautifully located; but by
nu stretch of the Imagination could It be
culled attractive, though It could bj made
so. , The lontr, narrow hurbor la no encom
passed by velvety green hills as to give the
appearance of a quiet inland lake. In win
ter the bay is froien to the depth of many
feet, and gives a tine opportunity for skat
lug and sloighing and horse racing. In
the summer It Is the scene of much gaiety;
especially so when the squadron is stationed
there on its summer rounds. On a summer
night the harbor looks like fairyland, with
Us thousands of lights from sampans,
yachts, men-of-war, and merchant steam
er,. Concerts on the different flagships
draw crowds from the shore, who come
in every conceivable craft. It is merry
music loving crowd, enjoying tha pleasure
of the present moment without thought

It was quite diverting to find in one ef
these drosky drivers an educated man, whnu
after trying French, German and his own7
language in vain on the stranger to whom
he was showing the city, drifted with ease
into most excellent Enslish and explained
customs and sights with a gentleness and
coutesy that were Inconceivably Incongru
ous with his looks. In the long ago he
had been prominent In political affairs
In St. Petersburg, but some fancied or real
disloyalty to the government quickly sent
him to BaghaJien. Discharged convicts
are not allowed to return to European
Russia, and drosky driving in Vladivostok
Is about the only means of a livelihood.
Negligence In personal cleanliness, his
barber a long-forgotten Incident, and ex
cessive vodka drinking had mnde of him,
as It does of all these drivers, a something
more closely resembling a huge beast than
a human being.
Holers Who Rule.
As Is the rule all over Russia, the head
of each government office Is supreme In
Ills sphere; and everything, even to the
scavengers of the street, bears the un
mistakable Impress of the government.
The admiral of the port, the shore admiral,
the commander of the fort, the governor,
all conduct their departments as they see
fit to construe the law, and It goes with
out saying that a merry time is often the
result. The amusements for the inhabi
tants are neither many nur varied, but
help to pass the time for the people, the
majority of whom seem to have little to
do. The only attempt to beautify the
city was an abortive one to convert a
small clump of trees Into a park. The
only sign left to show that such an at
tempt had been made is the dim outline
of a few flower beds. The trees grow to
suit themselves, and form a grateful
refuge from the blistering summer sun.
Twice a week this "garden" is thrown
open tt the "educated public," as the In
vitation reads, and from i to 6 the naval
band gives the educated public the benefit
of some very good music. In the mean
time the "uneducated public," which con
stitutes about nine-tenths of the popula
tion, nt In the least abashed by the
slight put upon It, drapes Itself with in
solent case on the out.side of the Iron
fence ami enjoys Itself without un invita
tion. A lluuipliiw (.round.
If the emblem of each country repre
sented by this heterogeneous collection of
humanity was displayed along the line, an
International flag of vast dimensions would
flutter In the breexe. Vladivostok is the
dumping (round fuf the outcasts of Corea,
China and Russia's own unhappy, forgot
ten exiles. And this recalls a story of a
woman who was released this last sum
mer from a long servitude. Twenty-threo
years ago, a young Russian married a
young girl of high social standing in St.
Petersburg. After a few months of happi
ness the wife disappeared and ull search
failed to bring to light her fate. Years
passed and the man, believing his wile
dead, married again. In the spring of
l!tu3, In some unexplained way, the man
was given a clue that Ilia wife was a po
litical prisoner at Saghalien. Quickly he
made his way to the convict Island, and
found In the broken, gray-headed old
woman, who was Indicated by a number,
the wife he had lost so many years ago.
For twenty-three years she had suffered
the horrors of prison life, and for what,
she never knew. Upon hearing all the cir
cumstances the wife left In St. Petersburg
released the man, and the last summer
It was not an unusual sight to see the
three out for a stroll, the woman in St.
Petersburg having been generous enough
to come to make a visit to the reunited
husband and wife.
Social life.
For further amusement there Is a thea
ter, In which a stock company gives somo
really creditable represeatations. Then,
as the Russians are most hospitable, there
are dinners, teas and dances of a charac
ter varied enough to suit any demand. At
these functions one Is brought in contact
with people who have traveled all over
the known parts of the world, and have
lived in many .different countries. One
can easily hear in a small company five
or six languages spoken, and yet there Is
perfect freedom of conversation, the most
of these people gliding from Russian to
French, from French to Oermun. and in
the next breath to English as easily as
the average American speaks his own
every day language. A Russian dinner Is
usually mi elaborate affair which tests
every power of digestion. When s new
guest gives a slfch of relief at what he
thinks Is the end of the feast, he learns
to his dismay that the real dinner has
not begun. The first course Is spread on
a long tuble In a smaller room outside the
dining room. This consists entirely of
cold dishes und Is culbd "aakouska," or
Hppetlzer. It lncluis cold meals, chicken,
pheasant, grouse, duck, shrimps, crabs,
salads, fish served will) vegetables', ullvis,
sardines, salmon servi-d with raw oiiiori,
splrvd fish, meat Jelll.-s and rolls, cheese,
hum, stuffed eggs, ostcrs, caviare, not
to speak of dishes with names and taste
formidable enough to cause horrible night
vision for week. Etiquette demands
that etch dish be campled, and still It 1
expected that the guest shall be able to
enjoy a dinner of five or six courses. Ex
perience proves that only a Russian la
equul to the demand.
Feast of the CarulvuL
During "carnival, or butter week." which
Is the feasting before Lent, tho "bleeness"
Is substituted for the "zakouska." . This
Is a queer mixture of buckwheat "cakes,
melted butter and Hour cream and caviare.
It can be well understood how, after ull
this feasting, Lent, with all the rigid
rules of the Greek church, Is welcomed
and enjoyed. The Easter service Is really
very beautiful. The great white cathe
dral, built on a high hill, Is brilliantly
lighted for the service, which begins at
6 o'clock on Saturday evening. The whole
congregation within kneels in silent wor
ship. The priests perform their riti'S with
pomp and solemnity. Then at midnight,
through the silence, comes the thundering
of many guns. It Is the "salute" to the
Easter morn. The volume of- music from
the men's choir, deep, rich and beautiful,
pentrutea beyond the thick walls, over the
white hills into the measurelesH beyond of
frozen steppes. In the church friend ami
enemy, prince and peasant, turn to one
another, and with a kiss un either cheek
announce, "Christ is risrn." The scene is
one of deep solemnity. Tho spiritual effect
is evanescent.
One other custom of the Russians which
Impresses a stranger is the universal re
spect shown In the street to a passing
funeral. Be it the flower-laden hearse
bearing the open, flag-draped casket of
some high official, or the simple wooden
coffin of a dead peasant baby, carried in
the father's arms, the effect is the srime.
The sight of a rough wooden cross, borne
at the head of a group of people, brings
a silent pause to the most hurried and
Indifferent. For the moment traffic stops
nnd each man, from the moujik to the
general, stands with bowed, uncovered
head till the pn cession has passed.
Women make the sign of the cross, often
standing up in their carriages, a touching
tribute to the dead und of sympathy to
the mourners who, rich or pour, follow to
the grave un foot.
A short walk alnng the main street of
Vladivostok brings to view all that is
worth teeing. The Niculal arch is un Oils
stre.'t, east uf the s i-calle. park. It whs
built to rumnictnorute the visit of the
present ciar eleven years imu, when he
was slill crown prince. Another monu
ment, farther ah nu. lather gract ful in
effect, is une recently erected to Admiral
Navclskull, who discovered the mouth uf
the Amur river. The buldings are rather
maselve and built tut solidity. Leslie t

NEW EMPIRE STEADILY UNFOLDING
.tiinlf rleaa Instance of Men Who
Forsook the Crowded East and
Grew I'p with the Pulsing
West.
Horace Greeley, despite his fame as a
newspaper editor and his place In history
as the man who signed the ball bond of
Jefferson Davis, and who was the worst
beuten candidate for the presidency, will be
best known to history because ho said, "Go
west, young man."
Greeley, In his hard struggle upward
through life, realizing the bitterness of the
baflc for bread in great overcrowded cities,
pointed to the west.
Knowing Mr. Greiley personally, I Im
agine that few, if any, uf our public men
surpassed him In that healthy and helpful
sympathy which maniferted itself towards
young men not only In the Biund advice
given In his paper, hut ofientlmis In a per
sonal way, not seldom going out of his way
to serve them. Especially was this true In
tho case of young men who, unaided, must
make their way in the tussle with the
world. Mr. Greeley seemed to feel that
much of the personal character ami na
tional prosperity, as well as political intig
rlty and sjclal purity, lay In the ranks of
these struggling young men who are em
ployed In trades, and whose skill Is the
Midas touch of our material development,
(rreley'a Hatred of tihums.
Mr. Greeley hud a positive aversion for
the young man of plumed pretense and af
fectation becaure of high birth or wealth.
He loved to see the elemmts of an nctive
nnd honest manhood. He had finly con
tempt for strutting, mien and aristocratic
nir.
A young man of this character once found
bin way to the presence of the great editor,
and In patronizing manner asked for a staff
position, finally saying he whs the nephew
uf Mr. Ill.i'ik-naming a wealthy oliibniun.
Mr. Greeley looked at lilm sideways and
quizzically a moment, and said: "Ju out
and write up a dog fight Hjni bring your
stuff to me." then resumed his writing.
With a sniff the young man went out. He
did not return.
As an editor Mr. Grseloy accomplished
marvels, and outside of the editorial room
he was un idealist, theorist nnd enthusiast,
but in many ways he was eminently prac
tical, far-seeing in his thoughts relating to
Buccess In life. His proverb. "(Jo west,
young man," was far from bilng merely
sentiment or theory. He made one journey
through the west, and while but one, and
that one only the merest glimpse, it was lo
him a revelation of the possibilities for the
young man in that part of the continent.
Itomniiee of West Disappearing;.
While it Is true that the romantic ago of
the western side of the continent has disap
peared, and the transition from Industry or
ganized on a small scale to the larger en
terprises Of compact labor was made years
ago, there are still some rare corners In
this empire of the west, off the beaten
track, where one experiences the atmo
sphere and touch of the primitive, and
where fortune welcomes and smiles upon
the young man who Is steadfastly indus
trious In his well doing, and who does not
look upon thrift as a painful virtue.
A year's professional service gave me an
nciualntaiice with one uf ihise corners. I
found It, going Mi miles north of Omaha to
Sheridan, thence by stage to Buffalo, ("leir
Crock Vale, Wyu., light In under the Cloud
Peak shoulder of the Hlg Horn mountains.
Here Is nature in all her primitive and
lalsli bigness; still embryonic; a silence
and solitude scarcely less deep than when
brave Custer fought the crafty Sioux
in these mountain canons.
This Is one of the choice corners of the
sheep region of Wyoming, u.e range is as
yet almost unlimited, extending In the
eprlng, summer and early autumn from the
high table Innils of the Rig Horn, through
well nigh untillable miles of valleys and
plHlns, where your horse travels knee deep
In succulent grasses to the lower and winter
ranges on Powder river. On every hand are
nature's helps to wealth, offered at the
price of even ordinary industry.
Sheep raising is the chief feature, and
the momentum of a hunch of sheep, say,
3,0110 of them, as the maker of figures on the
creolt side of the owner's books Is some
thing almost Incredible. Here Is an Illus
tration :
Tim Hoys Who Went West.
A dozen years ago two young n.en of
aliout la years of- aie, Roger and Phlll;i,
growing discouraged over the outlook in
Now Voik slate, and, as I hey told me,
literally following (he udvlco uf Horace
Greeley's proverb, set th'ir faces west.
When tliey reached HulTalo, Wyo., Roger
had II and Philip Just enough to pay for
two meals and a bod. The day after their
arrival Roger hired out as a sheep herder
t 116 a month and board, taking sheep at
tI.L'5 each as his pay. At the end of his
first year he separated his sheep, herding
them, In the care of a rancher, of whom
he rented a small Held. Hi- continued his
work for three years more, each year add
ing his wages In pheep to his hunch. At ths
end of the fourth year he became on inde
pendent owner, giving hla whole time and
attention to his owil affairs. At the close
of his service he owned IKifj sheep and tha
Increase of lambs for three years. Eight
years from that lime he owned an Improved
ranch of l.Mrt acres, on vhlch each season
he raised three full crops of alfalfa for his
stock during two months of winter; 118
horses and colts; f head of cattle; 3,200
sheep and lambs; his last two years' wool
crop; a comfortable homo for hla wife and
babies In Omuha, and he was making pay
ment of several thousand dollars on a sec
ond Improved ranch. He did not owe a dol
lar, was 3.1 years of ace and In perfect
health.
( hli'OKO Ilo as Herders.
IHiring my year at itutlaio lour young
I men came from Chicago together to become
i herders. Necessity whs behind throe of
them. The fourth was the son of a railway
official, who was out for the recovery of
lost health. They scattered as herders, one
going to Roger. Two uf them stood the
test eleven days; the third give up at thu
end of the firHl month. The sick one held
out four months und had end red the king
dom of health.
The estimated cost of caring for a bunch
of 3.U0 sheep If they are taken to Powder
river valley range for the winter is about
$1,5"0 for the year. The wool crop pays all
this and leaves a handsome margin. Tho
owner adds to this as clear profit tha
amounts coming from the sale of many
hundreds of lambs at -.'-! to Ji.tO each and
sheep at from t-"5 to $.1.25. The market
is at home, the stockmen and wool buyers
coming on the ground to make their pur
chases, removing them at their own ex
pense. If Roger had taken cosh for his labor,
and, at the end of the 'four years Invested
It in sheep, It would have been less than
II Sot,. Hy his plan of tahiir,- sheep, sep
arating them nt the end of each year, and
thence on. profiting by their increase, ani
continuously adding to their number for
four years, bo had tl.e benefit of double

sion, and he actually Invisled lo. s than

8o:neoiie may ask what of Phillip? Well,
bo hired nut as a herder ami s! irted In,
as did Roger, "dead broke " He was dead
bloke the day Roger gave mo those faots.
Phillip has no idnoli, no sheep, no cuttle,
no wool, no house, no wife, no Imblis. A
single word tells the story-drliik,-;. U.
