Now that the hulidav season is near
at band and thoughts of the folks at
home and dear friends will come to
vour u'colltrtiim more vividly than
ever, it is a good time to Send them
something that will bo of special inter
est. Them is nothing that so fasci
nates ths nitiid and eye as scenes and
views of the locality in which the
hondci lives or pei haps for a time is
sojourning. To those in western Ne
braska, and especially Box Butte
county and the citv of Alliance, no
better leniembtance could be had than
a copv of the Tin. Ilr.u.u.n's special
souvenii edition. We still have a few
copies of this fine woik on hand, and
those who desiie to transmit a copy
through the mail, will find them neatly
wrapped and ready to send. The illus
trations aie something fni" and the
frontispiece in colors a work of the
highest art. This edition has won the
distinction of being the finest thing of
the kind ever published in the west and
hence its value as a special holiday
token. The price, 25 cents, is only a
trifle compared to the appreciation it
will give to those receiving it.
In speaking of this beautiful work,
we quote from the many hundreds of
expressions the following comments:

Hr.RAiii, T. I. O'Keefc, publisher, is
one of the neatest and most compie
liciisivc publications that ever made
its appearance in the west. It is print
ed on heavy book paper. The first
page is handsomely illustrated with a
large colored picture, showing a num
ber of mounted Indians viewing m the
distance a passing railway train, and
as one of the red men poi'nts to it he
seems to say, "That is the beginning
of the end." On the inner pages are
many half-tone pictures of piominent
western men and beautiful scenes, in-
teru oven with reviews of the growth

It is such publications as these that
