Newell, for many years a resi dent of this city, is a candidate for mayor of Kirkland, Washington, a fair-sized town across the bay from Seattle, ana as he has no opposition will undoubtedly be elected. The Kirkland News has the following comment on Mr. Newell’s candidacy: “These men are all known, either personally or by reputation, to every voter on the East Side. Mr. Newell, the candidate for mayor, is not only known in Kirkland as a man of public spirit and enterprise, but is one of the 1 r\ <» H ore i n tlin Hncinncc iimrlrl in lar, where Its howling won’t be hea-d; you must speak in whispers children, for your father’s tired and sore, and lie seems to think t lie ceiling is some kind of cuspidor.

Bui wiiiM«i»iiHii Hiiniimii mivMR*imK»-'nT—‘in^ Christmas Gifts We are unquestionablly the best equipped we ever have been for the holiday season. It is impossible to § tell you through the newspapers all P of the splendid display of Christmas § goods we have this year; it is equal- | iy impossible for you to fail to find just what you want for presents if you look over our magnificient assortments, and if you don’t know what you want it is our business to assist you in making selections. We call special attention to the \ fact that we have the largest assort- j ment of China and Cut Class in the city. Silverware, fancy novelties, j| toys, books, post cards, etc. j Bhe RACKET STORE Remember we always sell at the lowest price. F.

He is wearied and exhaust ed by the labors of the day; he has talked about the tariff since the dawn was cold and gray; he has lost eight games of checkers, for his luck today was mean, and that luck was still against him when he bucked the slot machine; so his nerves are under ten sion, and his brow is dark with care, and the burdens laid upon him Sfcem to great for him to bear. Stop ther clock, for it annoys him; throttle that canary bird; take the baby to the cel The Misses Lorena Adams and Susie Fauquier who are attending the O’Neill high school this year, came down last Sunday* for a short visit with friends of this place. The young people are making preparations for a program to be given at the M. E. church at Christ mas.

This will give the pupils a short rest from their studies. fl We have been having very cold and j snowy weather for the past month.

I Sweathearts and Married Ladies: Christmas is soon Sf here, and you wonder what to buy for your husband or G*1 your best fellow.

If you desire something of trilling cost, ^nd at the same time worth giving, look over this line.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF OUR PLANS FOR HOLIDAY TRADE Many months ago we began to plan for this year's holiday business. We were determined that our patrons should l have advantages this season that they have never enjoyed before. Our stock tells the story. We realize that the de mand for Holiday Goods will be very great this year, and we have arranged to meet that demand by bringing together a stock that equals anything of the kind to be found outside the larger cities. We not only have variety, but we have quality. We are proud of this display. We very cordially invite inspection, of this specially selected stock of Holiday Merchandise. I IN TOYLAND Our Store is a Veritable Paradise for the Little Folks who are Looking Forward to Christmas In buying our stock of toys for this year we have kept in mind the fact that there is always something new being devised for the amusement and education of the little folks. Our line is complete, and the range of our prices so wide, that no matter how much or how little you have to spend for toys, we can give you entire satisfaction. ATTRACTIVE LINE OF ART GOODS Artistic development among all classes of people lias been so great during late years that no holiday stock is complete that does not appeal largely to esthetic taste. Our stock this season has that virtue. The collection includes a variety of Decorated China, Ornamental Vases, Statuary, Bisque Ornaments, Ink Stands, and so many other articles that it would be impossible to enumerate them here. PLEASING ART PICTURES As a Christmas gift nothing is more acceptable to some people than a beautiful picture. We have a choice collect ion of Art Studies, with such a wide range of subjects, that we can please the artistic tastes of all. And the prices are as varied as the line and range, from a few cents to larger sums, in proportion to size and merits of the picture. MANY GIFTS Have Always Been Considered as Hard to Choose, but we Have i Made Gift Selections Easy this Season There are people who actually dread the approach of ! Christmas and feel that they will be glad when it is all over. This is because of the difficulties they encounter in select ing gifts. Such difficulties arise, in many cases, from the fact that merchants do not provide adequate stocks from which to make selections. You will find our stock a whole some exception to this rule. TOILET ARTICLES In the line of Toilet Articles there is always something that everybody needs. This year there has been a distinct innovation in this iine of goods. Besides the individual pieces, which are very numerous, there are a number of combination sets. These include Traveling Companions, Brush and Comb sets, Military Brushes, Manicure sets and Novelties. Come and examine this line before the assort ment is broken. BOOKS FOR CHRISTMAS We have all kinds of books, from the little tales for little tots to editions of classics in prose and verse for the older lovers of literatare. There are too many titles for us to enumerate any of them here. We are confident that this 1 display will please you.
