APPROPRIATE HOLIDAY PRESENTS The time of yrar Ian arrived njjniti wln n ihtijiIo art' in a qtiHixl Hry, more or It, as to what to purchase for ChristtnaK presents for Ai'r friends. To the person with a lontf purse or a Nnuj? hank ac- Mimt it serniH to he nn easy matter to ao into well-stocked stores and order acceptable, presents without much forcthot; but for those of rwxlorate means it is not such an easy matter to decide upon what they Hunk will be acceptable presents und keep the cost within the holiday allowance. And even the lists of recipients of presents from the well U-do will bo lenRtheued, if acceptable tfifts can be. secured at a reas- anil)1f cost. At this time it is well to remember that the appreciation with rfiich a present is received does not usually depend so much upon its . .. 1 . .! . 1 L 1a 1 1 ipenstvenesH as upon the consideration wun w men u nan oecu miei A bv the eiver. Almost always people prize presents more because M the spirit with which they are piven than for their intrinsic value. Useful presents are always very acceptable by those who cannot mffnrA nr An not wish, to spend money lavishly upon themselves. The Uales and needs of the recipient of a present should be taken into con deration when makine the selection. Quite often inexpensive home jjule articles are more hiphly prized as presents than more expensive rtdv-madc things. It is what is back of the gift more than what is in it that makes it a treasure to the one receiving it. iad so much to do in helping lo frame, was overwhelmingly turned iown by the voters of the Krimire state. It is believed bv many that Judge Hughes has removed himself from the race for the republican residential nomination by demanding the withdrawal of his name in Nebraska, which had been filed by some of his enthusiastic friends, with the secretary of state. If either Mr. Hoot or Air. Hughes receives the republican nomination it will be because he is from New York, the leetoral vote of which state both parlies arc anxious to secure. .lust now it looks to us as tlio Senator Theodore Hurton of Ohio .

He has a ecoi d of long service in public life, ami so far as we know it is a pret ty hard record to pick Haws in. He is not particularly offensive to the conservative element in the party, and can probably come as near as any other prominent, straight republican to polling the entire pro gressive vote. .Mayor William Hale Thompson of Chicago is being groomed h i 1 .1 i a I . 11 .

If he ami his supporters can convince the public that he has the qualifications necessary to properly fill the office of president of the Cuited States, he will be an exceptionally strong con didate, in the event of his nomination.

He will have a term of something like two weeks at that place. From there he will go to Chadron, no does not expect to be home much during the next month. PERIODICALS A3 PRESENTS If people generally would give more thot to the giving of sub eriptions to periodical publications, such as newspapers, magazines, te.. as presents to friends and acquaintances, such gifts would be- mo more common. There is scarcely anything that makes a better present, in proportion to cost. Send a friend a receipt for a year's wbscription to an acceptable publication, and he or she will not only bo pleased at the time of receiving the lirst copy, but w ill have a con tant and pleasing reminder during the year of the friendship of the river. There are so manv publications that could be used for this pur pme that we cannot give a list of them, but wish to suggest the two Utat are issued from the press of the Herald I'ublishmg Company: The Alliance Herald, published weekly at $1.50 per year, a little lea than three, cents per copy, as a present to a friend in another tote, or in some other part of this Btate, would be considered worth many times that amount. The Nebraska Stockman is a new monthly, devoted to the live stock interest of Nebraska and the middle west. The subscription nice is only 25 cents per year, or five subscriptions ordered at one tine for $1.00. It is probable that during the coming year the paper ill be changed to either semi-monthly or weekly and the subscription price increased accordingly, but it will be sent to all persons subscrib tnjc at the present price to the end of the time for which paid, without sdditionul charge. MEN. MONKEYfTAND APES An all-wise Deity made men and monkeys, but it remained for man to make apes of themselves. And that is what is happening in ame places now and w ill probably continue to happen for some years U come, much to the annoyance of Christian workers and the detri ment of church work. This if what we mean: Altho many good people object to expressions used by Uev. Wil liam A. Sunday and his manner of pleaching, it is generally conceded that he is doing an immense amount of good in his own peculiar way, specially among that class of people whom lu terms "dow u-and-out-rra." He succeeds with his methods of trying to do good because they are not assumed or put on. His methods are peculiar but they re his methods; he is peculiar in his ways, but he is himself, he is just cling out Hilly Sunday and not trying to be someone else; and he makes a success of it. There arc others who wish to do good in the world, but not being jtukj enough to use their own talents for the accomplishment of their laudable purposes, try to UBe the llev. Mr. Sunday's peculiar talents, with the result that they make a failure of it, as might be reasonably expected, and tear down the work which they really wish to build up. Down at Aurora, Nebraska, they are having what seems to be a of this kind. An evangelist is holding a union revival meeting, and the town is all torn up and Rplit up over the evangelist and his -werk. Now The Herald has no objections to a union revival meeting, nd even if it did have we would hardly consider the editorial col- Brans of a secular newspaper the proper place to express those objec itioru; but partly as a matter of news, and partly for the purpose of pointing out the folly of one trying to be who he is not and never can rt we mention this case. It may be that the evangelist at Aurora is right, and those who bjoct to him and his work wrong. "We do not know enough about ;fe case to pass judgment upon it; but from what we have read, it looks at this distance as tho the principal trouble arises from the fact iof the evangelist, whose name is Kirkland, trying to make a second 'edition of Hilly Sunday of himself and not being able to get by with it. If he has a divine call to do evangelistic work, he ought to do that work as Uev. Mr. Kirkland, and not try to be Rev. "Billy" Sunday or anybody else but himself. The Lord never calls a man to be an ape IlunbviUe Recorder. William Cy- derman, who was confined in the Sheridan county jail for safety, whs brought before Judge Fisher at Val entine last week for his preliminary hearing, and was bound over to the district court for the murder of Mrs. Heelan and Mrs. Layport. Notwith standing the feeling Hgainut the pris oner, there has been no request for a change of venue, and the defendant will probably be put on trial some time In January. Hemlngford Ledger. Sheriff Cox was up from Alliance the first of the week, gathering Jurors to serve dur ing the present term of district court. Among those from here we noticed: A. S. Enyeart, Robert Anderson. C. C. Hucke, Frank Nagleschneider, VVm. Curry and C. A. Shlndler. G. M.

Miss Fay Abel and Clyde Piatt and Miss llaxel Squibb and Edward Marshall were married in Alliance on Wednesday, November 24. The two couples went down in a car, the mothers of the brides following on the train, and were married by the Judge. Mr. and Mrs. Piatt returned the same day and will go to housekeeping at once in Marsland. Mr. and Mrs. Marshall will remain In Alliance for a few days. All parties concerned are well and favorably known here, and the Tribune Joins with their many friends in wishing them the best there Is in life. Holiday Openin Saturday, Dec. 4th Next Saturday we open our 1915 line of Holiday goods. We consider this an extraordinary line, and it is the largest and best that we have ever carried. It consists of Dolls, Games, Toys and Novelties in every sense of the word. Our counters and tables and This is the "Christmas Store" shelves are literally packed with Christmas Presents for Old and Young To go into details and mention all the different lines would require a space several times the size of this, but suffice to say, there is nothing that would make desirable gifts that cannot be found here. SATA CLAUS PARTY Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock we are going to give a Santa Claus party at the Empress for the children. And there will be a RKAL LIVE SANTA CLAUS who will amuse the kiddies for a short time. Every child in and around Alliance 'is invited to witness the entertainment FREE OK COST.

J PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES While it is universally conceded that President Woodrow Wilson will be renominated by the democratic national convention next Bum tner, there is much speculation as to who will be the republican nom inee for president. Hence, the discussion of presidential possibilities confined almost entirely to republicans, with an occasional refer fnc to probable bull moose candidates, and now and then a mention f Eugene V. Debs' statement that he will not again be the socialist candidate. One of the first names to be mentioned prominently in Nebraska in connection with the republican nomination for president next year is that of a Mr. Eastabrook, financier of New York City, formerly of Omaha, Nebraska. He is a very plain illustration of the fact that omc times a man who is wise m business, shrewcl ana successful, is quite the contrary when it comes to political matters. Mr. Eastabrook was recently banqueted in Omaha and made a speech. Unfortunate ly for him he departed from the subject of business and tried to talk on the subject of statecraft. In a nutshell, as we have him Bized up, he is a success as a business man, but as a statesman and politician a rreat big horselaff. The Herald is not worrying about who will re .reive the republican nomination for president next year, but we would hate to see the preferential vote of the republicans of Nebraska go to the Hon. Mr. Eastabrook ; it would be such a slam on the state. Ex-Senator Hoot and Chief Justice Hughes, both from the state of New York, have strong follow ings. They are both able men. In affairs of government, each tills the measure of a statesman; but in polities they are given a bit to "playing to the grandstand," which is vonsidered by a considerable number of voters to be a serious offense 'Senator Root's popularity received a severe jolt at the recent New York state election, when the propesrd new constitution, which he And our prices will give him larger margin on his contract, sell at very close figures.
