Probably not every man thinks Of
making his wife or other near rela-
tive present of an insurance policy,
but it will be conceded that such
thing would not be bad policy, pro-
vided the policy was in a good COM

objected to a Christmas present
chosen from the stock of a dealer in
fine furniture-the appearance of
parlor, sitting room or boudoir de-
ponds so much on the style of the
furniture therein. Hall & Stanley. in
Music Hall building, carry splendid
line Of goods, and it will not be diff

manufactures and deals in parlor
suits, lounges and easy chairs, and
does repairing; he can give you
practical hint as to the purchase Of
holiday goods. There is no end to
the demands which fashion makes on
the ladies, and there is no end either
to the wearing apparel which COM
fort and good looks compel them to
indulge in. Lougee Bros. & Smythe
have been using the CALIFORNIAN

Shawl and other outside garments
of all descriptions, underwear,

of dress goods and ladies furnishings
F. A. Carriers stock also invites at
tention, and will offer many practical
suggestions to those who are looking
for something serviceable as we'll as
pretty to bestow upon favored
friends. Carter keeps up with the
times and offers bargain after bar
gain, from January to the end OF
December. Nobody really yearns for
drugs and medicines during the holt
days, because such things are not
generally regarded as at all festive in
themselves or conducive to joyous
ness; but c. c. Bingham S drug store
contains many novelties that are
particularly available for well people
at time when everybody wants to

certain toothsome CONNECTIONS which
always fill in so nicely with other
presents. Then at the Eastern
