QUICK OR Y0U LOSE THEM.
Some Great Opportunities for Buyers of
 Christmas Gifts.

Nhristthas Nllts.
 Very gratifying it is to see the throngs of happy, eager Christmas buy CTS at the old standard store of the Charles Monson company. This big and elegant dry goods emporium is in- deed busy place, and the ladies are delighted with the big array of. tempt ing Christmas novelties, thousands of email just the ticket to make some body happy on Christmas day. And isn't it wonderful to see those beautiful French brocades-just think of it, French brocades of marvellous value and delightful designs that readily brought $3 to $4 a yard-now being sold by Monson & Go. at only S1.29 yard. Just look at them. A look convinces. Then equally great bargains are those silks, cheap at $1 a yard, beautiful goods-all the ladies say it-and selling at only 69 cents. They are irresistible, and it's no wonder these goods, both the brocades and silks, are going off like hot cakes;" and there are enough for all, if you come this week. It is a real Christmas present from this old reliable house. We cant begin to tell about all the thousand and one pretty little articles for gifts here to be had. but just see the list in the firms lad" in another column of to-day's Courier. And just don't forget that. the chance to buy those A No. 1 Foster, Paul & Co.'S gloves, regular $2 gloves, for only 9S cents. cant last but two or three days longer. Buy soon or you lose it. The firms silk umbrellas are in great demand for Christmas gifts-all colors and for both sexes. MT. Walker of the firm says the firms trade is ahead of many former years, almost reminding of the sales in boom- time years.

CWritten for the Dispatch)
In the world of art and letters,
The ages all accord
To him who wins the poets fame,
AS meritea reward,
The right around her brow TO bind
My FIRST in graceful sarlands twined.
Although my SECOND is sometimes
reckoned,
a synonym for naught
IT'S emblem to more serious minds,
OF one stupendous thought.
For in its rounded circuit,
1t typifies the truth
or endless life beyond the grave.
in everlasting youth.
A quaint old story you have heard.
OF lion tangled in my THIRD.
And held securely bound. despite
All efforts OF his craft and might.
Until mouse for want of bread.
Piled his teeth upon the thread,
And thus the king of beasts unclaimed
His wonted liberty regained.
My WHOLE on many a bloody field
Has turned the tide of battle.
Defiant foemen forced TO yield
And fee like driven cattle.
The fortunes OF the day are staked
Upon one hazard, when
Along the lines the order rings,
Give them the WHOLE. my men.
