INDIVIDUALITY
Stores, as well as people, have " Individuality." Customers who have done business enough with us to become acquainted with our methods like our way of doing business.
Goods are found to be as represented. Colors we say are "fast" prove so-"All linen" is not part .cotton with us, nor "all wool" a twin brother of King Cotton.
Customers are not urged to buy until they purchase a shade or quality they do not really wish. Customers feel at home in our store because they know their interests are ours. These things give individuality to our store and coupled with our modern, up-to-date retailing account for our increasing business and the confidence reposed in us by the trading public.
You may have been purchasing recently in stores where quality has been sacrificed to cheapness, where bargains, "on paper," have dwindled to microscopic size upon investigation. You want to buy reliable goods at reliable prices. You want fair, honest treatment--you want a Dry Goods House you can pin your faith to. If you will give us a fair trial we think we can meet your wishes. We shall certainlv be greatly pleased to add your name to the constantly increasing number of people who like a store which makes its customers interests its own.

We have been building bicycles for years; we believe our product, the Stearns, represents just what is desired by the riding public.
Made throughout with extreme care, without an excess ounce anywhere, with balls as fine as machinery can make, bearings as true as can be turned from steel--these are the secrets of the proverbial easy-running qualities which
have made the Stearns noted.
Rather than take this statement with the proverbial grain of salt, don your most critical mood, call at the store of our city agents and ask to see the new Yellow Fellows.

"ARMINIUS:
PART I.
INTRODUCTION.
Chorus.
What is't that looms like thundercloud afar, from dread Thuisko's sacred mountain shrine The groaning earth with horses' hoofs is shaken, and through the air the flash of swords is gleaming! Thus oft the tempest's might, in growing fury, is dashed against the hoary oaks of old, and breaks at last on some unbending rock. The roar of war resounds from every side. Woe's me! Whence come these tribes of strangers, that in unending hosts advance, with dark and threatening mien, upon our valleys Woe's me!
Recitative.--Arminius.
These are the hosts of Latium; what evil fate hath brought them here No feud have I with clansmen or with tribe; I guard the altars of my fathers! My spear I lift against the savage boar, when through the forest
glen he crashes; my only foes are wolf and bison.
Chorus.
No feud have we with clansmen or with tribe; we guard the sacred hearths where dwelt our fathers.
Recitative.--Siegmund.
Behold, in serried ranks they come, their clarion's call to arms is wafted upon the breeze in tones triumphant. What eye can count the pointed blades that glitter in the sunlight yonder On stately charger see the captain fly along the ranks--a gallant sight! The breeze lifts high his helmet plume, and bears aloft his purple mantle. Behold he stays where high the golden eagle spreads his pinions! They come, the scourgers of freedom, insatiate tyrants, breathing slaughter, whose ruthless yoke enslaves the nations! CHORUS.--Romans.
We are the sons of Mars the mighty, from gods and heroes have we sprung. Before
xc vbc
our arms unconqucred the tribes of earth lie prostrate; they break asunder, like to moulds of clay we crush them. We scal'd Athenia's heights, and on Asia's sultry plains laid the foeman low. We stood before the gates of Carthage, and as victors saw them fall. O'er earth's wide circle bear we aloft our gold-winged eagles triumphant!
Recitative.--Arminius.--Chorus.
But now your conquering arms shall fail you; your star of glory shall pale and die! We, freeborn sons of Wodan, we have not learned to bend to the stranger's yoke. Duet.--Arminius. Siegimtnd.--Chorus.
Free soars the eagle high in ether, free breaks the fount from rocky shaft; the deer roams free through leafy wood; and we, dost think, we'd e'er be slaves For freedom reigns within our dwellings; Germania's sons are freemen! The sacred oak gives mystic signal, the hallowed fount doth murmur low, we'll drink its wave with solemn rite, and brandish high the spear and shield.
PART II.
IN THE SACRED FOREST. Recitative.--Priestess.
Through the grove a sound of warning stirs the mystic boughs. He who rules these still recesses sends a tremor through my soul as I bend in prayer. Ranged around the altar, hushed stand our tribes, in reverent circles, bending low their heads. Peace on you, O faithful sons of Wodan! give your mourning people peace, lightning-crowned God! Wodan, humbly we adore thee, we wait for a sign from thee: I thy priestess call thee.
Chorus.
Through the oak trees' sacred branches swells a mighty boding, and a low mysterious murmur tells us that the God is nigh. Lo, his peace, august and holy, on our hearts descends!
Air.--Priestess.
But like a muttering thunder-cloud the roar of war is drawing nigh, and spreads its dark and lurid shadow athwart the land that
groans for peace! I see the days to come when carnage wild shall raise her head; when through our glens and woody mountains shall pour the tide of battle's havoc. As from the bosom of the land the deadly shaft its ruin hurls, thus sanguine war o'er peaceful lands spreads death and desolation. But yet the people are not faint, because their Gods remain to them! With hope and trust then lift your hearts on high; look heavenward, fear ye not, they watch and guard by us: pray to them.
Chorus. Ye Gods dwelling high in Valhalla,
Oh, graciously hear us call; Oh, heed us ye mighty immortals,
Oh, hear your people call.
PART III.
THE INSURRECTION.
Recitative. Air. Arminius.
Chorus.
Oh! must I live to tell of my people's shame Wodan, All-Father art thou wroth Peace unclouded reigned within our dwellings; the freeborn sons of valiant fathers, our Gods in peace we worshiped, until they poured upon our valleys; thus breaks the ravenous wolf on the tranquil pastures, like Rome's relentless robber-bands. Thy piercing eye sees all. O Wodan! thou seest how they oppress thy people! They dare to scourge our freeborn warriors, do justice with the axe and sword, assail our young maidens with impious hands when they go forth unto the springs for water. The festive sounds of joy are heard no more; the minstrel by his hearth sits mourning, though mute he sighs; and silent hangs his harp. Our warriors murmur, and our wives are weeping, and our youths they have struck in fetters. O wretched fatherland! Thou art sunk in bondage, and some angry God hath cast night and darkness o'er thee!
Recitative. Air.--Siegmuml. ' O days of grief and desolation! O sorrow, how wilt thou end Within my breast there rankles deep a pain past tears' assuaging; a banished man I wonder, lone through lands I
cvknvbjbv,l
ruled as chieftain! The dastard Roman I slaughtered who my betrothed insulted as in tranquil converse we sat by the brook. Yea, I slew him and fled. Woe on me that I fled! For they have taken my father, his feeble frame they have chained in miscreants fetters, alas! Curst be your race, ye robbers! Curst by all Gods ever more!
Chorus.
Mine eyes have seen their fate, alas! I saw our dear and valiant brothers go bound in chains. Ah, in the camp of the strangers are our companions; they all, alas, for home with tears are mourning! We sorrow for our brothers, for our dear sisters mourn we!
Recitative. Air.--Arminius.
Shall we submit to disgrace, we, Wodan's freeborn sons Uplift your spears for deadly strife, our burning wrongs we'll avenge in the blood of our tyrants! Come on, companions, from North and South. The day of vengeance conies with the dawn; our righteous wrath shall flame o'er the land! O behold yon glorious sun flashing in freedom, cleaving the darkness in twain! Ye warriors, tarry then no longer; and ye, Cheruscans, most of all, my clansmen brave, gird your weapons about you! Ye Marsians, who dwell by the verdant stream whose banks now bristle with forts of the Roman, where running the tide glides swifter for shame, Sigambrians all, men of mighty arm, ye Chaucians and Frisians, I call on you all, from the Hercynian wolds to the shores of the wide-rolling sea, the home of the storm. United, be strong. Hut woe, if they our fathers' graves despoil; if foreign arts our minds beguile; if we, enslaved, could bend before the stranger. Brothers in arms, the hour's at hand; For mighty deed uplift the brand! With craft we will lure them in forest's gloom, And there assure them a desolate tomb.
The roar of battle sounds through the woodlands as through the tempest rolls the thunder. Each valiant youth his spear up-lifteth, while maidens wind the victor's garland.
Battle Song.--Arminius, Siegmtind, Warriors.
To arms! for just is our cause! Ranged in
irtler, brothers all! Let freedom's banner wave on high; it shall guide us straight to meet the foe.
Each tribe shout forth its battle cry; Let it resound and rend the sky. On every hilltop now let Liberty's fiery torch be kindled.
PART IV.
THE BATTLE.
Recitative. Air.--Priestess.
Hollow thunders the storm, and piercing its gloom the angry lightning flashes. Threatening clouds spread the heavens with darkness. Black night gathers round me! Hoarsely croaking are flocks of ill-omened ravens on the boughs of time-honored oak trees, corpses and carnage red scenting. Watchful as hungry wolf in his lair, Wodan's sons behind the rocky ledges are crouching; each deadly spear is poised for the blow. Death they have sworn, and vengeance; their oath to the Gods has ascended; to Roman truceless war and death. Wodan, Mighty One, Lord of Battles! From the sacred recess of thy shrine guide thou the snow white steeds, the boders of victory! O haste thee to bring thy children succor! Proudly thy eagle soars o'er the forest, and like rushing of waters rolls thy car of triumph! I hear the clash of thy shield resounding in thund'rous strokes from yon rocky height through the valley! Hark! wildly thy steeds are neighing; affrighted, the legions are trembling; they come, advancing in serried numbers, our warriors watch and hem them in; the prisoners clank their chains. Hark! in silence they are marching.
Chorus.
With roar as of torrents when tides burst o'er their ramparts, our warriors"' o'erwhelm-ing force pours on the legions. Their spears like lightning are flashing. They falter, the legions are daunted. With scythe uplifted through their ranks stalks forth pale Death. From thunder-cloud the mighty Thor doth hurl his barbed lightnings; his golden chariot rolls loud through the sky. Haughty Romans, ye tremble; proud Romans, ye hear him and tremble!
cf bvmjn
Recitative. Priestess.--Chorus.
Freya, gracious mother! awful one, bounteous giver of blessings, look down on thy warriors brave, oh, protect them! Thousands are wounded, their blood is flowing, poured for their fatherland. The battle is raging, the Roman legions are daunted; but our heroes are perishing, glorious death is theirs! White-robed and bright the Valkyries are hovering o'er the chosen. Valhalla's gates above them open, and the sound of carousal from gold-roofed Valhalla, where the heroes are feasting, is borne on the breeze!
Recitative. Air. Siegmund. Chorus.
Ah, me, what darkness! death around me closes! The barbed shaft within my wound is rankling, the turf around is reddening with my lifeblood! Low surging through the forest gloom methinks I hear the shouts of victory! Hark! yea! Victory! Now death, thou art welcome! Raise me aloft and bear me to the grove, there lay me in the sacred oak-tree's shadow, that I may die on ground that's hallowed. Lo! how the breeze doth bend yon boughs! All-Father rides upon his steed of storm! Ah, once again might I behold thee, beloved Thora, maiden sweet; once on my slowly ebbing heart to press thee and give thee one fond kiss before we pan forever! I can no more! I see the white-Valkyrie flying down; she waves her hands; oh, joy, she comes, she chooses me for death! Now life, farewell, 'tis blissful thus to die.
Chorus.--11'omen.
Hark! there conies a shout of victory. I hear triumphant voices fill the vale! Look! they bear aloft a thousand trophies; bright arms and golden eagles proudly gleam.
Returning II 'urriors.
The flag of freedom waves on high; amid battles roar it led the van.
All. Thine, Anninius, our glorious, praise.
Recitative.--Anninius. No praise to me; the gracious Gods alone in sorest need have lent us aid. Thanks, great All-Father, Lord of Battles. Victory to thee is due! The power of mighty Rome is maimed by his all-conquering arm. Go forth and tell proud Rome the tidings! Her valiant warriors arc slain in yon mountain valley.
Hymn.--Priesess. Anninius. People. Warriors.
Germany's sons shall be renowned. Great and glorious are the heroes who have fallen! Their immortal spirits ascend to Wodan; around his golden throne they stand, high above them the twelve mighty Asas; he looks smiling on his heroes wrestling in combat. But we, who dwell in the vales of earth, to Wodan's altar ascend; with branches and flowers embower the path; with songs and dances renown him; and there we will chant a solemn song to Freedom, our prize and glorious treasure.
