Why This Progress ?

The facts are plain: A tallor-made Overcoat is offered you at $5 ess |than the cost of a coat made of the same cloth by & merchant tailor.

And the fit is perfected without the trials of trying, fitting and | slashing, so customary with the tailors.

Vake up, you men, and don't go along with your head down, see- ing thing that goes on " around you.

Wake up to the'fact that you can buy just as good fitting Over coats:and Ulsters from us as you can have made, and you surely save $5.

iymade goods are not made as they were twenty years ago tailors

v’ thead, theydon’t. See?

We Could Double our Trade in Two:

i** MARK ALL

OF A CENTURY AGO. Edward Wieglesworth, ‘* Hollis | Professor of Divinity at Cambridge, ”’ in a little >] ores published in the portentous year © eat », must have had a correct idea of the prosperity of North America, during the cen- tury just closing, as he predicted

that the population of the ‘British

American Colonies ’’ in 1900 would be eighty millions,---says ‘‘ The Na- tiona! Masazine$’’ for December. Included in this estimate was Nova Scotia, mow in the Dominion of Canada, which with its last recorded census res of. 4- 860,000 added to i eventy- six millions of the United States, fulfills almost to tae letter the accuracy of the Wigglesworth erophecy. And this somewhat re- markable forecast was not based

upon any species of guess work, but

upon a well-defined and clearly

constructed mathematical theory,

which, reduced to plain words, can

be described in the language fits author :

The British famericans have dou- bied their numfiers in every period twenty-five ‘years from their first piantation.”’

Taking this statistical fact as a basis for ‘his calculation, the Har- vard divinity professor constructed a system of reckoning the increase of a country’s population which his- tory hasshown to be as correct as his method was simple.

Assuming that the 1775 popula- tion was two and one-half millions Mr. Wigglesworth estimated five

YOUR BAGGAGE.”

‘Mark au your baggage,’ that is the injunction of every man in any way connected with the bag- gage department of railroads. It means so little to the passenger and yet its fulfilment Jwould relieve much care on the part of the little army of men who toil hard trom one end of the day to the other, and in hundreds of instances assist very materially in facilitating mat- ters when it comes to making close connections, as is often the case in these days of raUroading.

A man -who has made the hand- ing of baggage a study, said :

towhy i is it so many people do not have some initial, name or other identifying mark put on their trunks and valises ? Simply because they have the greatest of faith in the railway baggage men. That is a compliment, but if they had any idea how greatly this would assist us in preventing baggage going astray they might all possibly be induced to have some mark on their baggage.

™ Telescopes, dress suit cases and trunks in these days nearly all looked alike to the baggage clerks and handlers, and, it may be said, also to the owners. Hundreds of instances could be cited of where two and often as many as five persons claimed the same piece of baggage before the checks were put on. This generally results in a search through the boxes, which isan an- noying proceedure to the men as well as to the passenger. My ad- vice is : Mark your baggage.”’

NO HOPE AT THE HAGUE.

The Dutch Government Definitely Refuses to Arbitrate for Kruger.

THE HagGur, Dec. 14.---The Dutch Government yesterday definitely re- fused to take the initiative in be- half of arbitration between the Transvaal and Great Britain.

The decision of the Government was communicated in an inter- view between Mr. Kruger and Dr. Leyds and the Dutch Foreign Min- ister, and the Minister of Finance, N. C. Pierson. Mr. Kruger ex- plained that the object of his jour- ney was to disseminate the idea of arbitration, and the Dutch minis- ters replied that the role of the

Netherlands mut be pcs ive. The initiative belong:d to the great powers, they added. When “they

should have reached a decision the Dutch Government might see what it could do.
