ShODS of Eureka

Where to buy Christmas presents is
sometimes a source of considerable bother,
and the SENTINEL, ever willing to lend a
helping hand, desires to present a short
directory for the guidance of purchasers.
There are enough goods to go round, for
never before have the shopkeepers dis
played a larger variety or more tempting
lots. The jewelry, dry goods, drug and
toy stores are particularly inviting, and it
Is necessary to make a visit to all of them
to comprehend the extraordinary induce
ments offered.
THE JEwELRY PALACES.
These establishments carry immense
stocks. At Wilhelm's, a few doors above
the Postoffice, the display is simply mag
nlicent. No one can enter the store
without being dazzled by the myriads of
sparkling gems which fill the showcases,
and the mass of silverware that makes
the shelves groan under its weight.
There is nothing in the stock but what
can be used appropriately as a gift to
some friend or dear one. And what arti-
Gle, aside from dress, is there in the wide
world the feminine heart delights in more
than jewelry? A ring, brooch. watch,
iocket or a pair of bracelets would prove
an enduring souvenir, II stamp the Civ
ers name forever on the recipients men,
Dry.
At Steler's there is another magnificent
display of jewelry. Of this establishment
