railroad said recently, says the Philadel-
phia Times, that there is a general i'm
provement of business in all depart
ments, and that ne thought it was not
spasmodic, but that it had come to stay
While the increase has not been very
large, it has been of such nature as to
give the officials considerable incourage-
ment The freight business shows a
material increase, not only eastbound,
but westbound as well. The passenger
business is also showing considerable
improvement, which indicates that

ALL HAIL! ALL HALL
The Holiday Season Is Again With
Us.
WHAT WILL THE PRESENTS BE
Probably the Most Difficult Thing
to Decide 10 What to Buy and
Where to Buy 1t. So q Few
Pointers May Interest You.

Butte, Dec. 21.-Necessarily a news
paper man must make the circuit of the
city in which he is employed. and be-
ing naturally OF an inquiring turn of
mind, he ascertains a good many facts
which the average citizen In other
walks of life passes by unnoticed; not
that the former is any brighter. but
1t comes In his line of business.
The holiday season always awakens
memories of the past, enhances the
pleasures of the present, and inspires
hopes for the future.
We who have passed into mature
man and womanhood recall the scenes
OF childhood back in the old home; on
these festive occasions the pleasures
we experienced on Christmas morn
when well filled stockings gave US re-
newed assurance that Santa Claus was
no myth. How, as young men and
maidens, the tokens of friendship or
love, led us to take a more cheerful
view of life and strengthened the ties
which bound us.
How those of mature years seemed TO
have their youth relieved by being
kindly remembered during this holiday
season. The same sentiments which
were characteristic then exist to-day,
and the things which appealed to these
sentiments then still appeal Butte
was never In better shape, or as good,
as to-day. from a financial standpoint;
our people were never so able to be
generous. Then let us all unite to make
this one of the happiest seasons that
Butte and her enterprising people have
ever known. Butte's stores are loaded
with an endless variety OF goods OF
every description, appropriate for
Christmas presents. so that the most
fastidious can find just what they
want.
The jewelry stores are especially at
tractive, and none so attractive as that
of Legs. His windows are bowers OF
beauty, in which the richest gems
sparkle, and the finest product of the
jewelers. art are displayed.
The line of ladies' watches is espe-
cially fine and no doubt many of
Butte's budding maidens' hearts will
be gladdened by the possession OF one
of these beautiful little "tickers" on
Christmas morn. The beaux will be
just as happy IL they can swing one of
those handsome gold-headed canes, and
even the older gentlemen, as a rule,
take kindly to cane IL 1t comes in
shape of a Christmas gift. A genera
tion or two ago opera glasses were en-
joyed only by the few; now they are
the thing for all who are in the swim.
Legs has them in every style and at all
prices.
We are all interested in silver, and,
as a silver-producing communicative
should all buy silver as far as possible.
We cannot describe the stock at Legs
but 1t is superb; everything in silver
that the heart could wish. Great trunks
of silverware at any price, up to sever
al hundred dollars each. The fact is
all this stock must be seen to be APP
preciated. and our advice is not to put
off your buying till the last day.
