JiiRt sixteen more shopping days.
Christmas shopping began this week ,
the bu > liig of holiday preHents not
having been noted by Norfolk avenue
ineroluinlH to any extent until the last
two or three dujH. Presents , however , |
are now being "laid aside" In uonsld-1
ernble niinibers and the coming week [
will see the special Christmas buying
well under way.
Never have Norfolk stores offered so
complete and attractive a stock fur
holiday buyers as Is upon the shelves
of Norfolk stores Just now.
Early Shopping.
Tills Is the season of the appeal "to
shop early. " It Is an appeal In the In
terests of the customer , the clerk and
the merchant. The early shopper bus
of course the pick of the stock nnd
the special attention of the clerks. Al
though additional clerks arc already
being added In the larger stores and
the number will bo still further in
creased. It Is always a physical Im
possibility to give the same degree of
attention to customers during thu last
days of the Christinas rush that can
bo given them just now.
The majority of Norfolk merchants
anticipate a successful season. TravelIng -
Ing men say that over the country
there has boon noticeable u certain
amount of hesitation on the part of
merchants to stock up heavy on ac
count of last year's panic experience.
The prosperous condition of north Ne
braska banlshos the grounds for any
such feeling In Norfolk.
Sore at the Christmas Tree.
Christmas tree merchants in Norfolk
will be few this year. Norfolk busi
ness men who have had experience
handling Christmas trees are sere nt
the tree business and few If any of
the larger stores will have trees In
stock. A number dropped the trees
last year and more have deserted this
year. The price of Christmas trees
too may advance. Last year there was
an advance and the forest ( Ires In the
north are said to have cut down the
year's supply. The Christmas tree
business had been overdone In Norfolk
nnd stocks are always picked and
damaged. Last year merchants burned
a good portion of their supply.
Sunday School Attendance.
Sunday school attendance , after hav
ing ( lagged somewhat , is again en
couraging. Nearly every Sunday
school In Norfolk will have a Christ
mas tree and program. The school of
St. Paul's Ev. Lutheran church will
have a big tree sent specially from
Wisconsin , the birth place of St.
Paul's church.
CALL BACK DARING PAMPHLETS
Said Suffrage Might Lead to Socialism ,
Even to Free Love.
New York , Dec. 5. A series of dar
ing pamphlets , issued and widely cir

Mrs. Paul Morton , Mrs. E. G. Hewitt ,
Mrs. II. Sollgman and others. A
hurry call has been sent out to
"gather up all pamphlets that can bo
found , " and bring them back to head
quarters at 222 Madison ave. They
positively must be recalled , league
leaders say.
"Broad" Is a mild term when used
to describe sentiments and language
of the pamphlets. Mrs. Richard Wat
son Gilder is president and Mrs. Gil
bert E. Jones , executive committee
chairman of the league.
The pamphlets endeavor to show , It
Is said , that woman suffrage leads to
socialism , even to free love.

Gates Is the promoter of a now circus
which will make Its first tour next
summer. It Includes the Restock a&
grogatlon of animals nnd the eques' '
trlan show of Rhoda Royal , and other
shows which have been bought or
leased or otherwise acquired.

to the amusement world.
"It's a chance speculation in which
other circus plungers seem to be mak
ing jjt least 3 per cent on their
money. " said Mr. Gates. "Our circus
will bo the greatest show of animals
and other attractions ever seen in
America. "

people will congratulate Frank S. Per
due upon his appointment as deputy
state superintendent of public Instruc
tion , which ho is peculiarly fitted to
(111 ( creditably. With the announce
ment of Mr. Perdue's promotion comes
the news that Prof. Price , formerly of
the schools at this place , will prob
ably bo offered the position of county
superintendent of Madison county.
The Page Bank Robbery.
Plainvlew Republican : Will Erode-
hoeft who arrived homo from Page ,
Informed us that the bank burglary at
that place recently was a bungling
piece of business. The safe wns near
ly demolished , but only flOO was
taken. All the currency was left In a
drawer , apparently overlooked by the
yoggman. He thinks it was the work
of lno.\VorIenced men and believes
that the robbers will eventually bo
found not over 1,000 miles from Pago.
Don't Kiss the Baby.
ford l a 9-montIiH-old baby boy who
has ; never yet been kissed. Hanging
In i a conspicuous place just Inside the
entrance ( to the house Is u set of rules
nddrefmed to visitors nnd signed by
the | father and mother. The following
are extracts from the rules :
Don't klsH the baby.
Don't handle baby unless your
linnds are very , very clean.
Don't bring baby's face close to your
own or to your hair.
Don't iiUow 'baby to touch your
face or hair.
Don't talk , breath , whistle , blow ,
cough or sneeze Into baby's face. Wo
want him to live.
Don't use your handkerchief to
baby's hands , face or mouth.
At the foot of the rules Is written :
"To some these rules will appear
comical or stupid , but they are not
written as a joke or without thought.
Therefore , any person Infringing
these rules after having read them
will Incur our displeasure extremely. "
Tried to Enter Trust Office.
An attempt was made last night to
break Into the Norfolk avenue olllccs
of the Durland Trust company.
Whether or not the building was actu
ally entered could not bo told this
momlm : , nothing apparently having
been disturbed.
It Is thought that who over tried to
get Into the building may have thought
of the trust company as n bank. As a
matter of fact the safe and vault of
the Durland Trust company always
stand open , It being the practice never
to keep any money in the building
after closing hours. Nothing of value
therefore would have been found.
Broke Through Transom.
Who ever tried to got In first sought
( jutranee through n rear window. An
effort was uiado to pry the window
open but was fruitless. The transom
over the back door was then broken ,
the glass looking as though an effort
might have been made to cut it. The
transom was then pried open , con
siderable force being used. The door
under the transom shows what ap
pears to be footprints.
A clerk at the Chrlstoph drug store
says that ho hoard the sound of falling
glass during the evening but thought
nothing of It.
It Is possible that the noise of the
glass may have frightened the would-
be burglar or burglars away.
The attempt was reported to the
police.

son and Fred Eblnger played a good
Joke on themselves Tuesday evening.
They formed n conspiracy to attend
the play and have a Breezy Time with
out letting their better halves know
anything about It. They reported at
their homes that the piny was no good
and not lit for decent people to see
and hear and that under no circum
stances would they attend It. The lad
ies got their heads together and con
cluded to go to the play and never
cheep a word about It to their hus
bands who they calculated would not
bo thoilj. Thinking the deal as good as
fixed Andy and Fred sauntered gaily
up to the opera house. They were
escorted well toward the front by the
usher and seated behind two very
handsome ladles where they prepared
to have the time of their lives. Our
readers can judge of their surprise
and horror when they found that those
two ladles were their wives. Mrs. 1 Ian-
sen and Mrs , Eblnger , too were very
much embarrassed , but made the best
of It by going Into an agreement to
keep the whole affair a secret for a
period of their natural lives. Out of
respect to the feelings of these good
people wo would request our readers
not to mention the matter to more
than imlf a dozen of their friends.
