Overcoats
at $15
Which we advertised a few weeks ago, have
had a big sale, and no wonder, for sel-
dom, if ever, have we been able to offer
you suoh value, An Overcoat worth
from $18 to $20 is not to be had for $1C
every day.
There is no need to tell again how we got
them, but if you haven't got' your win-
ter Overcoat yet, you'll be glad the sup-
ply was generous, and to know we still
have a few in Brown, Navy and Black.
We'll make them any style you wish, long
or short, single or double breasted, just
as you say, and we put in good trim-
mings too.
There's no such Coat for the price in the
trade, and $3 or $4 ought to be worth
saving.

EXTRACT'S FROM A LETTER FROM
DR. HORSEY. -Dr. E. H. Horsey, who
is so welt known to the people in this
vicinity, is now living in Yokohama,•
Japan, where he arrived, accompanied
by Mrs Horsey, a few weeks ago. In
a alluding to the war bnt letter to Dr etween Japof an and
China, he says: "The war causes about
as much excitement among the Euro-
peans here as it does in Canada, or a
little less, if anything. Reports from
the conflicting even here, uneliaareble frightfully that
scarcely knows whet to believe. This
much appears certain, however, thus
far, viz., that the Japs have rather the
best of it, temporarily, both on land
and sea, but it appears to be the gene-
ral consensus of opinion among for-
eigners, that she will have, tremendous
difficulty in striking a seriousppblow at
er classes

of war, and should it be at all protracl-
will be inimense."
Referr ng to wagethe s and expense of liv-
ing
there he says, "Our servants num-
ber seven, viz., cook, house boy, coolie,
gardener, plaid, night watchman and
r duceddsto Canadianw hose mo ey,tl amount
to 530.50 per month; and when I tell
you that on this they board and clothe
,themselves and their • families, you
may easily understand how cheap la-
bor is, and how cheap living is for na-
tives. I might also add, these men
and their families are twenty-six in
number, all told. We are paying the
ordinary wages in vogue here."
