Christma. Gifts for Men

II man has a nook of his own in his
home, what men are apt to call their
den" the Christmas gift cannot be
better than something which will enter
into the practical spirit of that room.
Il ne has used writing table, or if his
present desk has outgrown his papers,
the most acceptable gift would
be one of those roller-top
desks of generous capacity which
men so enjoy. Expensive, you say?
Not at all for the lasting enjoyment
derived from such an article. A most
capacious oak desk, filed with pigeon
holes, drawers and side-slides, can now
be purchased for $50, and far better is
it to spend little more on usefnl
present than to waste a small amount
upon something utterly useless to a
man. Or, if the desk be there, or the
purse will not permit, there is perhaps
lacking a comfortable rug under the
desk, or an easier chair. revolv-
ing bookcase, dictionary holder, or
a simple .'double-storied' table stand
for books and papers, to be placed be-
side the desk, are luxuries which any
man enjoys in his library. For the in
side of the desk there are many little
things which can be thought of to
brighten writing hours, and when they
are to be had IN silver they are far more
acceptable, since silver brightens by
its ornamentation- and is lasting
as well in its usefulness. silver pen
tray or pen rack, paper weight, let
ter opener, n paper cutter, mucilage
stand and brush, a letter or bill clip,
an inkstand, memorandum tablet, a
penholder, hand blotter, n match
box or stamp box, library ash re-
ceiver, an ink eraser, a pincushion or
holder, an engagement tablet-all
these are little adjuncts ony one of
which is appreciated by n man much at
the desk in his home.

Tho President Under Engagement to
Give l.. .ures at Stanford
Uniypraity


Senator Stanford confirms a report hat
President Harrison has been engaged to give
lectures at the Stanford University in Cali
fornia.
immediately after he gives up office at
Washington Mr.. Harrison will go to Cali
fornia and deliver course Of lectures. He
will probably lecture each term, and It Is his
design to make his home at Palo Alto during
the winter. He will occupy the same place
as did Professor Andrew d. White, the eI-
president of Cornell University, who was
compelled to resign because Of his recent ap-
pointment as minister to Russia.
The senator's secretary, Mr.. Nash, added:
81 do not understand that President Harrison
would necessarily make his permanent home
there. He would be nonresident member
Of the faculty as Professor White was, and
would make trips there. His lectures, far
as understood, would have wide scope
Anything he desires to lecture on would meet
the appreciation of Senator Stanford. This
lies entirely between President Jordan and
President Harrison"

Another car Shortage.

The railroads centering at Kansas City are
again suffering from car shortage. The
trouble, though never done away with during
the past three months, has been lessened TO
some extent at times. but now the situation IL
worse than ever. All the roads are short of
cars.
The Missouri Pacific is practically doing no
business at all out OF Kansas City. II is re-
fusing all freight offered for shipment ex-
cepting the ware house merchandise, which
is handled through the freight depot.
Nearly all the agents here regard the situa-
tion as serious, and the promises for relief are
anything but reassuring. The grain men
suffer the most, but other shippers are un-
able to ship any great amount of freight
In the territory contiguous to Kansas City
the estimates of agents place the shortage at
from 1000 to 5000.

His bed of straw seemed resplendent
with glory and pardon. The old Duke
fell on his knees before the Infant God.

admit that the report on the whole is not in harmony with the Democratic platform, so far as the tariff is con cerned. However, my duty as state official is to report things as l find them, not as a reckless partisan should like to have them construed. There is no political bias about any of my TO- ports, nor do believe there is in any of the reports of any labor bureau in the country. All can say is that the statements of my report are based on actual. confidential letters, received from 5000 representatives of wholesale manufacturers of New York state. The result shows me that the leading Dem- ocratic speakers on the tariff are in er- TOT as to the effects of the Mckinley bill. The figures in my report speak for themselves, and there is no getting away from them.

GENERAL WEAVER is a hronic sore- head. In 1875 he was candidate be- the Republican convention of Iowa for the governorship of that state. He thought he was "entitled to the nomi. nation," but he didn't get it; SO he left the Republican party. and in 1878 induced the Greenbackers and Demo- crsts to "iuse" in his district, with him as their candidate for congress. He was elected. In 1880, before his term in congress expired, Weaver was the Green nback-Labor candidate for presi- dent. In 1882 he again became the Green back candidate for congress in his old district, the Sixth Iowa. He was de- feated. In 1884 and 1886 as fusion candidate he was elected. In 1888 he was again the fusion candidate for con- gress, but was defeated.
