Price Reduced

Anticipating the removal of the
Stamp Tax at no distant day, the
Magnetic Medicine Co., of Detroit, as
will be seen by their new advertise
mens that appears in to-day's paper,
have reduced the price of their med
icine from one dollar per package to
fifty cents, and when twelve packages
are ordered at one time, and five dol
lars paid for the same, they issue a
written guarantee agreeing to refund
the money if the full course of treat
ment fails to effect cure. We have
no doubt the Magnetic Medicine will
have a large sale in every section of
the country, as few medicines are sold
at as low price, and what is especial
ly in its favor is the guarantee of its
effecting a cure. The medicine is
sold at all Drug Stores, everywhere.
Guarantees are issued in Owosso and
county by all druggists.

Token Of Regard.

We believe in presents of aN sorts
Christmas boxes. New Years's gifts,
birthday presents, especially for child
rem and young people. Make thsm re-
joice because they were born, and re-
joice with them. 1t is well for children
not only to receive presents but to make
them. Gifts need not be costly TO be
very precious, and if they are chosen
with reference to the tastes or needs Of
the recipient they have % double value.
An excellent present for child is q
microscope, a cabinet of minerals, n
historical chart. writing desk, took
chest, work-box. ANY one of these
gifts will bo of lasting utiIity. some of
them Gamble so shared with others that
whole family will be BENEFITED by
them, as the chart, the cabinet, the
neurological cabinets can be bought
for small sum, microscopes are for
sale at every price and @vs of great
value to yosn9 students.

earthly mother; but in the sweep of the
line, and in the delicate gradations of
color from low, cold tones to warm
blending purple and rose, the work is
exquisite and embodies tho pathos and
JOY ofW Christmas-tide. Miss l.. b.
Humphrey received the second artistic
price for a design representing child
10 her night-dress kneeling before a
fireplace while she sends up the petit
ton: aA
Good Saint Santa grant, pray
To al merry Christmas day.
The indistinct form of the saint is
seen in the border with his hand to his
ear. The border of gold and greenish
grays is very effective. Mr. Walter Sat-
terlee received the second popular prize
for card showing u group of little
street singers upon whom another group
of merry children in gayly lighted
room are looking out. Above are seen
a number of rosy cherub faces. The
colors in this work are rich and warm.
The third artists prize was given to
Miss Humphrey for Il figure in Greek
draperies standing in crescent and
sending forth white dove, the whole
set against background of dark blue
sky. The third popular prize was
awarded to Frederick Dulman for
bright design showing children singing
before q Christmas tree. Mr. Alfred
Fredericks received the fourth artists
prize. his design representing q child
sitting in bed with a profusion of toys
about him. Though the color is rich,
the golden border being especially good
the central design resembles an adver-
Using card. Miss Florence Maber's
fourth popular prize card shows lady

tletoe, walking in snOw-storm. This
work is beautiful in color and has an eff
fective border of pale green scroll work

The Holidays.

Immediately after the holidays every
woman, who has endeavOred TO present
each of her intimate friends (and the
number increases ut this time somewhat
after the manner of the modern Sunday
schooD with Specimens of her hand

midsummer to- prepare her holiday gifts,
so that, allowing for interruptions and
delays, she may have them ready few
days earlier the next Christmas. This

haps be glad to be reminded gently of
this resolve and to have - few su9ges-
tions given her in regard to some Of the
pretty things she can make without too

Echoes Of the Angel Song.

Since the birth of Christ not only
have wars diminished. and aNimosities,
social and national on the whole large
ly abatcd,. but institutions to elevate,
comfort asd gladden. all classes of So
ciety have sprung plentifully up. And
not only have the wealthy endowed
these institutions. aDdthc honored given
them their patronage, but the very hum
blest have sometimes laid their founda-
tons. The savings bank--that happy
device FOR increasing the means of those
who can accumulate only by little and
little, and so guard against an evil day
was originated by an obscure woman.
The noble temperance reform owes its
main efficacy to u lowly priest; the
'Shelter for Foandlings," in Paris, was
started by plain sea-captain, and the
Benevolent Fund.-" of London, by a
miniature-painter.
Study the history of the great public
charities of Christendom, and you will
lind that they have flowed out of che
spirit of that nativity chant. Indeed,
once plant the stock of human brother
hood, and you are sure ultimately OF
every good moral fruit. What renders a
community quiet, peaceful observers OF
law, and friends of good orderP The
Christian sentiment of goodwill 10 all.
This il is which makes happy homes;
let il enter the hearts of father and
mother, parent and child, brother and
sister, and they join in the angelic cho.
rus. Filled with love, forbcaring and
forgiving one another, the light which
fell once on tho manger of Bethlehem
falls on their roof, and, however lowly,
il becomes divinely respondent. -Arte-

Christmas Cards.

During the last few years ars has en-
tered into and associated itself In many
ways with the common everyday life
of the people. and it has richly improv-
cd the opportunities offered to it by the
festival and holiday seasons. The good
wishes and tender thoughts that were
once embodied in tinscl valentines, con-
fectionery notices, and cross-stitch are
now expressed in dainty and artistic de-
signs. bearing names well and widely
known among art-workers. The Christ
mas cards have called forth the best eff
forts, and for the last three years the
prize cards have been eagerly looked
for. Those of last year felt the influ-
ence of the passing craze for esthctic
grouping and color, and their grotesque
designs and dull, cold tints secured on
" faint praise from q "Philistine" pub
lie to whom Christmas-tidc was asso-
ciated with warmth and light and glow
ing holiday cheer. Seven designs re-
ceved the eight prizes awarded for this
year, Miss Dora Wheeler gaining both
the first artists and the first popular
prize. Tho designs are more pleasing
than those of last year, being warmer
and brighter in color, and more sugges.
tive of the sweet old Christmas story.
Many of them have suffered In the re.
production, the printed copies losing
much of the dclicacy and sentiment OF
the originals. Miss Whceler's design
represents the Madonna, with the Child
in her arms, in light, flowing draperies
appearing against a disc of yellow light,
to mother who stands with her chill
drcn under lcafless tree with theil
feet on the globe. The two sacred fig

The Closing Year.

Faster than petals fall on windy days
From ruined roses,
Hope after hope falls fluttering, and decays,
Ere the year closes.
For little hopes, that open but to die,
And little pleasures, r-.-
Divide the long, sad year, that labors by,
Into short measures.
Yes, let them gol our day lived hopes are not
The life we cherish;
Love lives, till di appointments are forgot
And sorrows perish.
On withored boughs, where still the old leaf
clings,
New leaves come never;
And In the heart, where hope hangs laded
springs
No new endcavOr.
