Pathetic Not Humorous
Hearts attuned to sympathy and
humanity felt tho pathos of - a seen
offered in front of tho postoffice last
Friday afternoon in tho vision of an
elderly man sleeping the stupor of quite
helpless inebriety the while numerous
priest and levites passed or paused in
unconcern or derision and laughter

man and took him to a less public place

Common Sense Giving
This Christmas will no doubt be cele
brated in quite a sensible way by the
majority of givers who will find their
gifts more appreciated if consisting of
furs gloves scarfs mittens handker
chiefs cloaks shawls skirts and such
items as fill a use in addition to possess
ing beauty No better place to secure
the right thing can be mentioned than

For Treatment
The condition of Mrs S J Miller
who has been ailing for several weeks
with a severe case of nervous prostra
tion became so baffling and extreme
last week that it waB thought advis
able to remove her to Hastings for
treatment in the state institution at
that place She was accompanied to
that point Friday night last It is
sincerely hoped her physical well being
and mental poise may quickly be con
summated
A Little Accommodation
As has been our custom always we
now for the tenth successive holiday
season in McCook make this serviceable
proposition Any dress pattern cut off
for a gentleman to be given as a present
may afterwards be exchanged by the re
cipient for any other in the stock if done
by January oth You see how thor
oughly this secures satisfaction We
invite your consideration of this plan

Tribune Remains ioo a Year
On account of the currency stringency and other unfav
orable conditions of business the Publisher has decided to
recall his notice that The Tribune would advance its sub
scription January ist 1908
The Tribune will remain at one dollar a year
Tne only difference readers of the paper will discover
after January ist 1908 will be a determination to improve
the paper in every particular possible that personal attention
of the publisher can bring to pass
The subscription will be as heretofore strictly in ad
vance F M Kimmell Publisher
Every Kind of Gifts Here
Our assortment provides an almost
limitless selection of desirable gifts
To attempt a description of the various
lines would be doing them an injustice
and we prefere to have you see them
rather than to try to tell about them
GIFTS OF UNIVERSAL QUALITY
Next to the magnificence of our as
sortment the chief characteristic of our
stock is its universal high quality
Whether the price of a gift be high or
low its quality decides its acceptability
and we make you safe in this regard
THIS IS THE WEEK TO BUY
In all your Christmas thinking keep
this thought uppermost buy early
there is every possible disadvantage in
putting off the choosing of gifts until
you have to pick from a depleted stock
in a crowded store and amid all the
bustle and confusion that attends the
last few days before Christmas The
goods that would please you most are
here now but a little later may be sold
Every day will count from this on
every day things you would have liked
best will be leaving the store Dont
delay seeing them Come at once and
as often thereafter as you can
