They show Our Progress.

Many people think we make but little
progress in recent years. They should
avail themselves of chance to study the
pharmaceutical books, papers and imple-
ments that are now shown in II. Fl. Hays
store window. Many of them date back
100 years. An old mortar and pestle and
scale used by DR.. Chas. Hay in 1890 are
among the most interesting objects.
Many of the prescriptions written forty
years ago are to be seen, and bill of
goods bought in 1903 shows a change in
many things.
Take look at them some time the
coming week.

SUPERIOR COURT.
BEFORE JUDGE BoNNEY.

George Kelley VS.. Charles B. Nash.
This is an action of trover to recover
the value of two stoves claimed to be
worth $50.
Kelley had large Office stove which
he says he left with the defendant for
sale, instrueting him to get as much as
he could, but not to sell it for less than
$40. Defendant sold it and only credited
him with SO
Mr.. Nash denied that there were any
instructions as to price; he had to put a
new CRATE into it and sold it for $12, which
was all it was worth.
Kelley claimed that in 1880 he ordered
Mr. Nash to send to his house on Brack-
EFT street and get cooking range; that
on the afternoon of that day the stove
was taken out and carried away. Two
years or more after he called on Mr.. Nash
for the stove and itscouldn't be found
Mr.. Nash denies that he ever took out
the stove, or gave any orders to or that it
ever came to his store; his books show
no such order or transaction.
Decision reserved.

SUITABLE GIFTS.

Don't be too particular about giving
useful Christmas presents, notwithstand-
ing that hosts of practical individuals,
especially those of a philanthropic turn
of mind, are forever advising just to
the contrary. Of course where extreme
poverty is in question, when the very
necessities of life are lacking, ton of
coal or basket of provisions is doubt
less more suitable gift than would be
a silken table cover or an embroidered
scarf; but, barring such extreme cases,
the greatest degree of benefit and happi-
ness experienced by the exchange of
gifts at the season of good will to men"
does not, as rule, result from those Of
strictly useful nature After all, men
and women are only boys and girls
grown tall; and, pray, what healthy boy
or girl would prefer pair of boots to a
toy pistol or pair of skates, doll or a
box of candy, as his or her annual con-
tribution from Santa Claus?

were right in sight. 1t seemed doubfy
hard for Tom to be bowled over just at
this time and harder still to know that
the chances were all against him. The
only hope had was that his robust con-

mysterious illness, but as he lost

dug a grave for Tom on a knoll 80 feet
back of the cabin. If he pulled through,
he would never know it; if he died, l
could not leave his body above ground
to be eaten by the wild beasts. He had
hardly spoken since his illness, his men
tai faculties seeming to be benumbed,
and | was therefore greatly surprised
when l came in from my grave digging
to find him looking better than for days
before. l took it as sign that he had
passed the crisis and would now mend,
and was trying to cheer him up when
he said:
"Sam, heard you at work. You have
done right. You know you could have
depended on me to do the same"
"Why, Tom, old man, you are much
better todayl You are surely going to
pull through! l was digging a bit to
run the water off if it came on to rain"
But he was not deceived. After bit

dying man for companion. From the
morning of the Goth to the afternoon of
the oath the man never uttered word;
sometimes he would open his eyes as
moistened his lips or forced little soup
down his throat, but he neither knew
nor saw me- knew by the look of his
eyes that he was stone blind. About 3
o'clock on the afternoon of the date CIV

"Why. man, you won't need grave

was Christmas morn, for it was mid
night or after when he moved an arm

TRADE IN CHRISTMAS TREES.

TRADE IN CHRISTMAS TREES.
We now require a million or two of
young evergreens for Christmas trees,
and these, too, are cut and stored away
in good time, the choppers often going
into the woods soon after the list of No
vember. A fall of snow in November or
December greatly increases the difficulty,
because the snow is apt to melt and
freeze, rendering the branches too brit
tie for transportation. The woodmen
therefore like to get their work forward
and pile their trees in the woods along
side the road, where they will keep fresh
and green for six weeks.
The largest market for Christmas trees
is Philadelphia, whence they are dis
tributed to all parts of the country with
in 1000 miles. The woodmen get from
So to So hundred for their trees, which
sell in the cities at prices ranging from
80 cents to So.
AS for Christmas presents, they give
employment to many important trades,
the work upon which is continuous from
the first of January to the last of De-
cember. Some knowing grandmothers
and ingenious aunts, to say nothing of
uncles and grandfathers, are on the look
out all the year for Christmas surprises,
which they hide away in unfathomable
recesses, sometimes forgotten by them
selves.

For some days Tom neither grew better
