A. B. 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

And there is one tiling further, and it
cannot be said of every successful
business man nowadays, which is
particularly true of Mr. Newell, and
that is that he always responds in
stantly and heartily to every call
made upon his time or purse by public
or semi-public enterprise.s He is one
of the few men that take time, while
in the midst of active business, to
perform public duties and Kirkland
will be lucky to have him mayor.”
Children, hush! for father’s resting;
he is sitting, tired and sore, witli his
feet upon the table and his hat upon
the floor. 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

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.
