doX Dem, Ga-). took occasion to reply
to a speech made by Mr.. Lands (Rep.,
Ind last week before the Middlesex club

Those on board Immediately made a
desperate rush. Fifty jumped into the sea
in an endeavor to reach the boat, but only
sixteen succeeded. and two of these were
washed out. The boat was full of water,
and it was impossible to use the oars.
After half an hour the steamer Susu ar
rived and picked up the fourteen in the
boat.
There were still about forty people on !
the wreck, but when the Susu returned |
from Santa Cruz not a soul was to be seen |

conception OF citizenship which has en-
ahled little Switzerland to teach the ma

Private citizenship is "A public trust. If

vision is raised above the petty circle of

not dampen the enthusiasm of the foot

with spectators and nearly all remained
until the game was over. In the be-
ginning the Plains team was doing eX
Cellent work, but the AVOca fellows
would not he thus outdOne and so went
to work with a vengeance. The snow
formed an excellent pad and at times
completely buried them. This accounts
for there being no broken bones. Dark

and the game was declared a tie. In
the evening the visitors were pleasant

me- let us exalt His name together"
He said, in substance: In view OF
Gods greatness. of His blessings. of
the goodness, of the munificence with
which He has manifested toward a sim
full people II is meet and proper that
we should unite in one general chorus
of praise to His great name. There is
nothing doubtful in the process, moth
ing which clouds us in so doing, moth
ing to prevent its being done in unison,
forgetting sect and individuality. we
are simply called upon to exalt Him
and not our theories, codes, laws, Bib!e
or anything else. Our thanks go out to
only an omnipotent, glorious, God
Magnify the Lord How can we
make Him appear greater than he is?
We can make more room for Him In
our hearts make more of Him In our
lives. We can exalt Him, lift Him up,
nan,n ,r,,'l'''' '"' o''>'
For this magnification and exalta-
tion there is more than one poignant
reason first, because Of what He is.
He is so great. so much above any
material conception, so much above any
fact or fancy, that the largest and the
highest that is is His. Second, Christ
magnified and exalted Him, proclaim
ing Him the one great need of the
church and the world. Third our ex-
altation is due as an expression of the
gratitude which we should feel for
what He has done for us.
I'VE have to be thankful for so many
things that their beginning is doubt
ful and their ending indefinite. He has
given the United States a harvest
brimful and running over, the surplus
being great enough to supply a large
gap in the worlds demands. He has
continued one of our first and greatest
of benefits, Americas free institutions.

Holiday Talk

Not too early to consider this prop
oSition-ChriStmaS is only some six
weeks forward. The holidays have
a direct bearing upon our business.
They create a demand for special
lineS-the many lines of novelties
and novel wares for gift usages.
Hence the special efforts that
have been put forth months ago
and are now being put forth to make
this years collection and display
unprecedented.
It's too early to speak in detail of
the many lines, so only this men,
ton of some of the exclusive sorts
that were gathered by our buyer
while on the continent during the
summer, and which are now receiv-
ing here, for the first time, the
light of day on American soil.
There are Bronzes, Leathers and
DresdenS from Germany; Hand
Painted Toilet Articles, Nic-NacS
and JeWelry from France; Ivory,
Cut Glass, Silver and Gun Metal
Novelties from England. All the
important art Centers of the old
world have representatives. in this
veritable pan-municipal show. It's
a duty owing to yourself to see tbs
vast collection of Statuettes, Busts,
Vases, Toilet Things and Table Ar
ticleS.
It's not a good time to cry of
priceS-art is not measured by dol
lars and cents. Therefore it's in
consistent to shout "Cheap
Cheap - in the same breath with
"Finest and Best" Yet in truth
we hold the matter OF price as
highly important.
There is no Sentimentality in our
prices-each mark is based on a
business percentage of the cost, ,and
The goods cost less than YOU eX.
