Thlnas for riir Time.
If thers Is anything that a boy really
wants It Is something; with which to have
fun In the winter time, llayden Pros,
have a fine line of skates at all prices,
sleds and coasters, too. Most of the boys
these days like to shoot and hunt. A rlflo
or a shotgun will make your boy the proud
est lad In the neighborhood. Perhaps a
fool ball will please him, even though this
is not foot ball season. It's a good thing to
encourage a boy who has a taste In the
direction of carpentering by giving Mm a
tool chest for Christmas. You will find
most of these things In the basement In the
hardware depsrtment.
What can you do to amuxe a boy In the
house when the thermometer Is tucked up
In the bottom of the bulb a phonograph
is tho thing. Every boy likes music. Music
Is not the only thing you can get out of
a Victor phonograph. They' can have a
minstrel show of their own with the phono
graph as the chief actor. They have big
ones and little ones at the Nebraska Cyclo
Co., 15th and Harney streets.
If you are at a loss to know what to get
the little fellow, remember he likes to have
his full show of fun, and he can come
nearer having all that Is coming to him
with a new sled or a pair of skates than
most any other thing. Milton Rogers it
Bona Co. have a big stock to select from at
all prices.
Did you ever see a boy1 who didn't like to
make music, or think he Is makrng music?
We have musical Instruments at all prices
cornets, accordions, mouth harps, drums,
bugles. We have them good enough for be
ginners and good enough for the most ac
complished. A. Hospe Company.
If he hasn't a good sled don't vou think
that when coasting time comes he would
appreciate It more than anything else? The
Townsend Gun company has a large line In
a full range of prices.
In the toy department, look over some of
the mechanical engines or motor boats, If
the boy has a practical turn of mind.
If you are looking for sleds, go into the
Doston Store, where you will And a line of
them from 25 cents to 12.50.
What Boys IJke to Wear.
When you are looking about for a useful
present to give a boy there is always a
choice selection of clothing at the NrWaska
Clothing Company, Fifteenth and Farnam
streets. You will find some handsome
suits, overcoats, and shoes displayed.
Among some of the less expensive presents
in their store are mufflers, gloves,
shirts, underwear and neckwear. The
Christmas showing of neckwear at the
Nebraska has some of the newest designs
at very low prices. Every boy likes to
have a handsome tie.
If there Is one thing more than another
that a boy enjoys it's a good overcoat
say one that cost $20.00 but Browning,
King ft Co. have others ranging down to
$5.00. Same way with suits they have all
the latest styles, too. There are lots of
things at this store to please a boy, such
as fur gloves from $1.00 to $3.50; sweatom,
$1.10 to $1.00: blouse waists, $1.00 to $1.50;
wash vests, $1.50 to $S.0; caps, 0c to $1 .00;
hats, $1.60 to $2.50.
To find a suitable, sensible gift for a man
at Christmas time Is a very hard problem
for most women. A good way to overcome
this is to go to a men furnisher in whoso
taste and Judgment you have confidence,
and he will make it easy for you and here
Is where that boy Black comes In mighty
handy. For Instance, there's the boy Just
learning to tic a four-ln-hand and wear
kid gloves and link cuffbuttons they are
easy.
When picking out Christmas presents, re
member that a cold weather present is one
that can be used right away, as the boy
you have In mind llks a sweater. When
he gofs roasting or skating that's what ha
wants. You will And them at Hayden Bros.,
as well as mufflers, gloves and mittens of
all kinds. ...
Any boy would surely be very grateful
for a stickpin or a nice pair of gold cult
buttons, a tie clasp or say a signet ring.
These make very useful presents and they
are not very' expensive when purchased
from A. Mundelberg, Omaha's leading
Jeweler, at 1522 Farnam street.
Tho big boys can be made happy with
warm, chic new overcoats and suits, fur
gloves, umbrellas and the always welcome
sweater, hundkerchlefs, mufflers, neckwear,
suBpenders, bath robes and house coats,
as well as shoes from Benson Sc. Thome's
Lilliputian Bazaar.
Did you ever know a boy that didn't
like a good, well-fitting suit of clothes, a
new style hat, a pair of fine shoes, an ele
gant tie not on Christmas day, anyway.
These goods can be found In endless variety
and at very reasonable prices at the Peo
ple's Store.
Boys are always pleased with something
to wear, and, among other things, the
Guarantee Clothing Co. suggest fur gloves,
overcoats, suit of clothes, cap, pair of
pants, strong hose and the like, of which
they have a full line.
There arc so many things that boys like
that to enumerate all would fill a book.
There are cuff buttons, studs, a good
watch, scarf pin,, besides military brushes.

for boys.
At the Boston Store you will find a hand
somo line of sweaters at from 50 cents to
$1.50. Neckties from 25 cents to 73 Cents. A
new pair of cuff buttons will be useful.
They sell them from 15 cents up to $2.
A handsome pair of suspenders, with sil
ver mountings, would be the pride of the
wearer. S. W. Lindsay, Jeweler, 1616 Doug
las street.
' If you wish to be sure to make no mis
take, buy the boy a tie. Peas Bros, have
exclusive designs In the newest silk fabrics)

Uncle By 's Christmas Tree
M
ANT, many years ago, minus one
of the mantes, "Cncle By" was a
small boy with an abnormal curl-
SBsascsaBB nalt u anil a exn 4 nf tAt t trvrtA4
Y Wi'J 'iv S full VS. tV-WUJVU
copper-toed boots.
The boots had arrived "last Christmas"
and had opened a new world of possi
bilities In the "next Christmas" now rap
Idly approaching.
Visions of a trim red sled with the pic
ture of a blue race horse plunging across
its shining top, of a plush cap with "ear-
lappera" and a pair of leather mittens with
fur on 'em, swept before his dreamy fan
cies as he lay awake nights defying Mor
pheus and his entire retinue of sleep pro
ducers. '
In a fever of expectancy, "Uncle By" not
"Uncle" then, but Just an average Ameri
can boy welcomed ChrUtmas eve as the
handmaiden of Christmas, the virgin of
beauty that stood on the threshold of
Wonderland and welcomed him to realms
of bliss.
And mother sent "Uncle By" In the care
of a favorite aunt to see the Christmas
tree at the church. No sooner had he de
parted than mother began active operations
in her own home. Over her work I draw,
for a time, a curtain.
At the church excitement bubbled like a
witch's caldron. The tree, ablaze with
light, glistening with tinsel, laden but why
describe It? In the heart of every American
there hangs a picture of the Christmas tree
surrounded by Joyous, anxious-faced chil
dren anticipating a division of the beauties
and the goodies.
Returning an hour later, daxed with the
glitter, but crestfallen over the non-appearance
of sled or cap or mittens, "Uncle
By" approached the parental home. Sud
denly, as he stepped upon the walk, a
window shade was raised and there, radi
ant and fairy-like, stood Yes, in "Uncle
By's" own house a Christmas tree!
And on one of the top-most branches
were the mittens and the cap and burst
ing through the door with a wlioop there
at the foot of the eauteoua thing, was the
sled!
And it had a race horse "pitcher" on
the top!
Oh, Joy!
And how the older folks laughed and
laughed again at youthful enthusiasm there
displayed and at the wonderment depicted
In "Uncle By's" face as he gased upon the
flickering candles, tha glistening white
strings of popcorn, the shimmering decora
tions and the homely presents hung upon
the bending boughs.
Through the world, as he goes, "Uncle
By" knows he will never again be thus
bounteously favored, never again will Dame
Fortune pour Into his waiting arms so
plenteous and rich an offering. Successes
and "Uncle By" has had a few hav
been, and will ever be. pale and Insignifi
cant beside this mother-made, all-satisfying
Christmas tree of years ago. Nowhere
In the plethora of Fate's must favored
treasure boxes exists one parallel of worth.
It cannot, cannot be! for she who made
the Christmas tree is gone, the boy has
grown into the man, the enthusiasm and
susceptibility of youth have congealed to
the sediment of man's realistic estate anJ
tbe Christmas trees of youth are gone
forever.
Silly. Isn't It. this homely little chapter
from the life of "Uncle By"? But, some
how, it pleased "Uncle" to write it and
with the spirit of Christmas In the air you
should be generous with weakness, even
those of "Uncle By." Western Publisher.
Dyspeptic Philosophy.
To sneer at success Is the prerogative of
failure.
A thing ceases to be a luxury after we
have money enough to afford It.
Many a man la honest because his price
Is too high.
The people who bllev pvt strongly in
luck are those who never have any.
Some men are so perfect that it seems
as though their wives ought to have them
stuffed and mounted.
The trouble with self-conscious people
Is that they forget themselves. New York
