A O-itorial
by tha &tore Ad-ltor
Did you ever stop to tlitnk
how this store has sprung
up, within your own recol
lection perhaps, In the very
midst of otlier stores, older
nnd larger? Did you over
' (top to think of its gradual
and steady growth, or hav
ing done so, havo yau ever
stopped to think of the
reasons for it all? Well
here they are In a nutshell.
It gavo tho people some
thing In the way of apparel,
in the way of satisfaction,
In the way of service that
no other store had given
them they liked the "dif
ference." they came back
time after time and told
their friends and they're
still at It. We try to merit
It and hope we do.

VANITY. THY NAME IS MAN!
Various Ktnaes of Mnn'n KtratUm,
Which the Old Outshine
the YoiiiihT.
In
At what age is a man most conceited?
Has the .quality of conceit any physical
value does It tend to make people better
or worse parents; has the child of vuln
parents a better chance In life than tho
child of pnrents who aro not vain?
These Interesting questions are asked
by a correspondent In a letter to The
London Mirror.
,-Tho problem of conceit and its Influ
ence In the wprld seems to be very little
understood," he says. "I have been study
ing tho question . recently and 1 -,-e
reached somo Interesting conclusion.
Most peoplo believe that men .are most
conceited at the age of 20. In my opinion
a man Is most proud of. himself, tils up
pcarance and abilities between the ages
of 40 and 50.
"This tablo may give an Idea how ths
average man Is conceited or modest at
certain periods of his life:
Age.
14 10 Very conceited and egotistical.
K-J0-Humble, retiring stage.
20 15 Reappearance of conceit, parti
cularly with regard to nppoararw-i
and abllitlts.
2C 40-Wanlng of self-conceit; too busy
to think much of himself.
40 i0 Perhaps the most conceited years
o' lt mnn's life. Consciously proud
of his rlotheK, looks and himself
ifenerally.
"I have talked to and observed many
men who arc between 40 and E0 years of
age, and they are all eaten up with
vanity, although they try to hide It Per
haps the reason why young men are
thought to be more conceited than their
seniors Is that they have not the wit to
dljgulse It. But the man of 43, who
thinks Infinitely more of himself, Is only
found out by his friends. In my view,
conceit is a spkndld thing for the future
race. Conceited people make better and
moro careful fathers and mothers than
men and women who have little pride
oi faith in themselves."

WAS ROOMMATE OF SHERIFF
Father rinllt Ilultdlnir In Which
Thnrr W Arrnlmied Sheriff
Formerly- Lived In
Oiunhn.
While ho has no personal Interest In
the outcome, there Is no person In Omaha
who Is watching tho course of the
Harry Thaw court proceedings at Cole
brook, N, H moro closely than Frank
Crawford, an attorney of this city, who
was born and reared In the Not, Hamp
shire town.
Colebrook, according to Mr. Crawford,
Is ono of the oldest towns In the north
ern part of the state. It has a popula
tion of about 1,600, Is eight miles from
tho Canadian line nnd Just across tho
Connootlcut river from Vermont. Hero
Mr. Crawford was born and here ho re
sided until ho came to Omaha, with tho
exception ot the time when ho was away
at college. Ho Is well acquainted with
all ot tho Colebrook residents, and while
a number of those closely connocted with
the Thaw hearing are his old friends,
none of them aro relatives.
Tho offlco of Police Judge Carr, before
whom Thaw was arraigned, Is In a build '
lng built by Mr. Crawford's father many
years ago. It Is a two-story brick and
the Justice's office la on the sveoud floor.
Tho town of Colebrook Is one of the two
county seats of Coos county, and II. A.
Drew, the sheriff who arrested Thaw
and kept him In custody aflor his arrival
In New Hampshire, Is a boyhood friend of
Mr. Crawford. He Is a lawyer by profes
sion and at one time was a resident of'
Omaha.
I.lvcil In Oinnlin,
During the boom days in the '80s Mr.
Drew came to Omaha und for a time
ofttoed with the Into George 13. Prltchett.
He dabbled In real cstato and ono day
whon ho was putting up a "For nnlo"
sign on soma property In the north part;
ot tho city, by accident he struck his'
helper, an Italian, on the head with an!
axe, cutting a deep gash In his forehead.,
Mr. Drew felt so badly over the accident
that he, right on tho apot, wrote, a cheOK
for $5,000 and handed It over to tho man. '
About 18S7 Drew went back to Colo
brook, whoro ho has slnco renlded, und!
has since become rich.
Attorney Shurtlofr, who has boon re
tained by Thaw, Is another frlnnd of Mr.
Crawford's. Ho and Crawford played
together when they were boys, were class
and roommates at college and were on
the samo foot and base ball teams at
Yolo. Attorney Shurtlcff Is one ot tho
best attorneys In New Hampshire and
has a strong following all over New Eng
land, according to Mr. Crawford.
While Mr. Crawford docs not think the
people of Colebrook and Coos county care
anything for Thaw personally, he Is oi
tho opinion that they will see that ha
gets Justice and will not permit Jerome
or any other person to spirit him out ot
tho state.
