The King of Pnlsis Beecham's
Christmas Shopping.

The problem of selecting appropriate
Christmas presents is the all absorbing
one just now-and the longer the matter is
delayed the more perplexing the problem
grows and those who put off their pur-
chases until day or two before Christmas
will find themselves in one mad scramble
with thousand others, at the various
stores, at time when care and judgment
will have little to do with matters.
If you really wish to make an ideal pres
ent one which so combines the qualities of
use and beauty that the giyer is kept con-
tinually in remembrance by the tasteful
ness of the gift, call at the crockery store
of T NJ. James & Son to-day or tomorrow.
You will find some of the most beautiful
and artistic ornaments made in bric-a-
brac. also rare and rich cut glass and
hand painted china. This firm is the old
est established queensware and crockery
house in the city, and the special reduc-
tions that they are making in various de-
partments throughout their store can be
taken as bona fide. In some instances only
one-half the regular prices are asked.

Violating the LAW in Copy

Thomas F. Brady, county treasurer-elect,
yesterday filed his counter notice in the
contest proceedings brought against him by
J. Scott Harrison, Jr., who. on the face OF
the returns, was defeated by the narrow
margin of So votes. Brady enters into a
lengthy discussion of the alleged Illegal ac-
ton OF Mr. Harrison and Election Commits
sioner Harris in copying figures from the
backs Of envelopes containing the rejected
ballots in the various precincts.
\ local paper has sought assiduously to
convey the impression that this was lie
gal. but it is not claimed that any enFei-
opes or ballot boxes were opened. Chair
man II. Clay Arnold, OF the board OF cleo
tion commissioners, scouts the idea OF
there being anything out OF the way in the
proceeding.
No attorney of prominence has declared
that the action OF which Brady complains

OBITUARY

On Saturday about Z AM, David
Brinkman Peoples, little SOL of Brother
aud Sister NJ. l.. Peoples, died of mem
branous Group. Every effort was made
to save him without avail. He was
born November Z, 1891, aud died Sep.
tember IL, 1895, being at his death four
years, nine months and fifteen days
old. Funeral services were conducted
at the residence Sunday afternoon,
Sept. 10, at2 O'Clock, in the presence of
many friends. He was a bright and
promising boy, and his parents gave
him up with the deepest grief. Thus
the young, the hopeful and the beau
tiful are snatched from our bosoms
with the dew Of youth upon them. But
God, the wise and good Heavenly
Father, knows best. Little David is
without doubt among the angels. l
would commend the bereayed father
and mother, sister and brothers and
relatives, to the grace OF God who will
help to bear all our soriows. The
family have the sympathy of every
u in their sad affliction. The Lord
