Presents a Delightful Effect
We were very much impressed by
the neatness of the north window of
the Murdock Mercantile company
when in town last week, as it was
most tastefully dressed. The window
represented the products of the Grape
Nuts and Post Toasties manufactur
ers, and was weil worth while as a
suggestion of something good to eat.
Py the way. the "Merc." always has
a generous supply of all good things
to eat.

ment and s: re hoping he may soon

Mr. Charles McDonald h;:s been plac
ed in charge eif the work here dur
ing I'ncle Moomey's absence.
Eave Most Comfortable Home
' Mr. and. Mrs. Herman F. Schweppe
are to be congratulated on the ex
cellent rev.- home which they have,
and which they h;:ve recently moved
ir.t' The- home has been biilding
during the part summer and has
g'lvn into one of the? most conveni
ent and complete farm homes in this
portion d" the country, modern in
eve-ry particular, and with water and
elc-tric light and a modern heating
system. We were callers at the
Schweppe home last week and found
it a most pleasing home. They have
an abundance of room, and with
them are making their home also
Mr. and Mrs. Herman Schweppe. Sr..
parents of Mr. Schweppe. who are
enjoying the new surroundings fully
as much as the younger n. embers of
the family. Not alone is thir, a large
house and well equipped. but the
hospitality and kindness is a feature
which adds much to the pleasantness
of the place and makes it a real
home.
No School Last Week
On account of the nearly an epi
demic c-f scarlet fever in its milder
form of Scarletina. the schools were
not opened last week. The cases ap
pearing were of a mild form, but it
v.-as thought best to not open the
schools for the week and alljw the
sickness to be brought under con
trol. Dr. A. H. Hornbeck has been
handling the cases in the most ap
proved manned and hopes to have
the atmosphere cleared in a short
time bo that the schools may be open
ed in the near future. There were
but six cases and all are petting
along nicely, but in order that its
spread might be prevented and the
disease stamped out, the schools were
closed.
Sells Lighting Plant
Mr. E. Y. Thimgan, agent for the
Cushman lighting plant, last week
sold and had installed at the new
home of Herman F. Schweppe, one
of their lighting plants, and which
is in operation at the farm at this
time giving excellent satisfaction.
Bagged Many Ducks
I. G. Hornbeck and E. W. Thim
gan were enjoying a hunt at the
Platte river where they rpent Satur
day evening and last Sunday with
the ducks and where they succeeded
in bagging a number of the feather-j
ed friends. They had an experience
which made them think they would,
have to spend the night in a blind!
which they had constructed or swim i
ashore. We can testify to the ex-j
cellence of the game winch they bag-'
ged. as we enjoyed a dinner from
which they were prepared by that,
excellent cook, Mrs. Thimgan. j

TWO NIGHTS BEF-OKE
Little Eileen had been very much
excited. She had begun to feel t?x
citeel a good long time before Xmas.
First she hud counted on the cal
endar that there would be five weeks
more before Xmas and then she had
counted that there would be feur
weeks more before Xmas.
Then it had come down to three metre
weeks l'fore Xmas.
Of course, after that it had found its
way around to being only two mure
weeks before Xmas and then one more
week before Xmas. And that was
really almost too exciting.
Of course now she had to count the
days sit days, five days, four days,
three days.
Put it was the night before the night
before Xmas that seemed just too ex
citing for words.
L'ileeii kept saying :
"Tomorrow night Is the nisrht before
Xmas. Tonight is the night before the
night before Xmas! Tonight is the
r.igiit before Xmas Lve, and next tc
Xmas Kve there is no more exciting
night than the night before it.
"Oh. I must shout up the chimney
to Santa Clans!" !
So Eileen bent over and call.'d up
the chimney. ,
"Santa Onus, I do hope you'll have
a merry Xmas and I send you maeh
love. I love you betifei than any out
in the world. Santa Claus. exrept my
tiig brofhi-r and my mother and my
daddy and my grandma and litt'e sis

any ne. I even love you better than
my pet dicky bird and I love him very
dearly, Santa Claus.
"So you see what a big com-p!i-ment
it Is to you. Put you should be com-p'i-mented
over and over again when
yi u are my own dear Santa Claus and
the dear Santa Claus of so many thou
sands of children. '
"Dear Santa. I hoj you haven't for
gotten about the rag dully, Santa. Of
rov.vnt? if you are all, all through and
have already lacked your bag. I will
quite understand. Put I hope you can
send me a rag dolly.
"I hae her name all ready for her.
I thought I would name her Snow

upon me when the snow was here. ;

flake would fall, but It would be a nice
winter name for her.
"I'd Leep it as a summer name too
for her. as in the summer it would
make me feel so nice and cool to talk
to Snow-Drop and call her by name.
"Of course, dear Santa, if this isn't
con-ven-ient, don't bother, but I do
so hope? it will be.
"I have Per bed all made for her.
Fo you remember, Santa Claus, the
little white bed you gave me thre?e
years ago? My big brother painted it
over for me this fall in case you did
give me Snow-Prop.
"We thought It would be so nice,
Santa, for Snow-Drop te have a white
bed. Don't you think so. Santa?
"P.ut don't bother. Santa, if it isn't
all right. You are so good and kind,
Santa, and you have so much to do and
It would bo impeissible for you to do
everything.
"Good-night, dear Santa Claus. I
hope you have a lovely Xmas. And
don't mind if you have to hurry and if
you spill a little soot on the ora:ges
from the chimney.
"We laughed ever so hard ewer some
soot on one of the oranges last year.
"And oh, Santa, how much betfer
your oranges are than anyone else's.
Our grocer's are almost as good as
yours, but not quite, Santa. Yours are
a little better than any others.
"Oood-night, Santa Claus, and a
merry Xmas!"
Eileen came away from the chimney.
"The night before the night before
Xmns is so exciting," she said again.
"More exciting than any other. Pin sure,
though tomorrow night is Xmas Eve
and that is as exciting as it can be.
Put oh, tonight is most awfully excit
ing. And I do hope Santa Claus
brings me a rag dolly I can name
Snow -Drop."
You mustn't be disappointed if he
doesn't," said her mother.
