XMAS BARGAINS.
Pattosiens Cutting Prices on Every
 thing


 Christmas week, and Pattosiens are out with special Christmas bargains in fine furniture and carpets and housefurnish- ings; fancy writing desks for ladies and roll top desks for gentlemen, couches, lounges, Wardrobes, extension tables, fan cv rockers, fancy tables, fancy cabinets and fancy rugs; everything in the house. furnishing line; the newest and the best goods in the market: all cut down one third.
 Pattosiens' bargains and Pattosiens' business are the talk of the town. Pat tosiens, the great price-cutterS, carry the confidence of the people-the intelligent, industrious masses-and they get their trade and their confidence because they are cutting the prices.
 The interest of the masses is Pattosiens' interest and hence it Is that they spe- cially urge those who must make every penny count to come to the big two-acre store on Sixteenth and Mission streets this week and get what they need in the furniture and houSe-furnishing line.
 What Pattosiens have done is nothing to what they are doing now; the reductions they have made are nothing to the bar gains they are giving now.
 PattosienS would direct your special at- tention to the bargains, the extraordinary bargains, in fancy rockers of all kinds and descriptions. Two carloads of lovely Rory O'More rockers have been put on sale this week at S1 50, $2 50 and S3 50. worth double the money, The Rory O'More rocker is in Magogany or Oak, has saddle seat or cobbler seat or upholstered seat is highly finished and comes in several de- signs.

 Good.
 "Old saws are sometimes broken A man convinced against his will is of his own opinion s'll." I have seen that badly smashed A friend came in to see me some time ago while was in bed with nervous prostration.
 The physician had strictly forbidden me to use coffee and I had tried a little Postum Cereal Food Coffee, but the way it was served 1t tasted so fiat that I broke the rules of the doctor and occasionally drank a cup of coffee, although each time I suffered for it. During her conversation she asked me why I didn't try POstum. Oh" I said, T have tried that, but it's no use, I can't drink it." She laughed out loud and said. Why, my dear, you have been imposed upon. If you once have Postum mad right you will be in love with it from that time on." I listened to her with little in terest and much incredulity, but she kept on insisting.
 Shortly after, when I recovered a little I was visiting friends house, who asked me if l would like a cup of Postum, and when 1t was served it tasted no better than mine had, so you see I had, apparently, most thorough experience with the taste of Postum. and I knew it's taste to be decidedly flat and insipid.
 health I must drink it, and so when I got home and was a little stronger l determined to see if it could not be made to taste better I looked at the package carefully and found that the directions were very plain, that the Postum must be allowed actual boiling of at least fifteen minutes. l put if on in cold water. It took about fif- teen minutes before 1t commenced to boil. then I allowed it to bubble and boil fifteen minutes more, and after it had settled I poured out cup, which certainly was as rich a dark brown clln of coffee as I ever saw in my life, and when cream and sugar were add ed I was amazed at the taste. Eureka" I had found what wanted. From that time on you can imagine l knew to a certainty when 1t was served at the table whether Postum had been boiled long enough or not. There is as much difference as between night and day. Postum underboiled is flat, and boiled as 1t should be Is one of the most delicious beverages a woman ever tasted. It is strange that people try and try again, and make Postum in so sloYenly a manner that they fall to get the delicious flavor from It l, of course, have no temptation to go back to common coffee. for l have the finest coffee twice day, and find 1t safe, pleasant, healthful and strength ening to the nerves.-MrS.

Injury to Clock on the First Baptist Church!

The clock ON the First Baptist church
has lost it's striking propensities. This
clock has been in use for 81 years and
is of an old time pattern. Several
times before the immense weight that
runs the striking gear of the clock has
gone through to the basement of the
church, but never before has it done
such havoc as it did Saturday. This
weight contains about 700 pounds OF
iron and was suspended by a steel
cable between the walls of the church.
The man who has done the winding has
been warned to be very careful as it
would injure him should anything
break while he was working the wind-
lass, so the disaster of SATURDAY was
not unexpected. There was no one in
the church at the time, and twas
lucky there was not. 1t is supposed
sthat the wood work upon which the
sswire cable was wound had worked
loose, letting it break, for il IS in
pieces This let the strain upon anoth-
err part and at once the frame made of
very strong iron was broken into pieces
so that the cable freed itself from the
works and the weight fell.
1t is doubtful if the@clock can be re-
paired and it may be necessary to, buy
a neV one or at least new striking
gear, ior this was broken beyond all
hone of further use.
