The immense crowds of people
i who visited our store last
week expressed their amazement at
the variety and extent of our

reason to do so. 1t may be a mat
ter of information to you to know
that every quarter of the globe has
been ransacked to furnish articles
suitable for gift giving for our pat
rons. Germany has furnished a
wealth of toys, some of the quaint
sheep, donkeys, Noah's Arks, and
dolls having been made in the far
famed Black Forest.
Switzerland, whose people are
noted for the cunning of their
hands, has contributed sweet toned
music boxes and delicately wrought
jewelry, as well as beautifully
carved handles for umbrellas and
canes.
Austria has sent beautiful hand
painted pottery, fashioned as deli
cately and tinted as daintily as the
famous Sevres ware.
Holland hobs up serenely with
her contribution of delft ware with
the queer decorations representing
Dutch windmills and dumpy, roly
poly Dutch boys and girls.
England has sent cutlery, Scot
land has sent wooden goods, Ire

A TREAT
~For the LADIES'
IN OUR
Fancy Goods
Department.

.ONE of the chief attractions at
~ Suffers is the fancy goods de-
partment. The feminine element
of last weeks crowds took advan-
tage of the rich opportunities of this
feature of our holiday stock. They
found our line of embroidered
handSerchiefs, silk good, neckties,
etc., hard to beat and they patron
lied it very lib rally. Another
thing they did justice to was the
stock of silver goods. They de-
clare that the silver novelties are
the acme of perfection. The line
of decorative ware came in for its
share of praise. The people are
now out in force and the holiday
spirit is at its height. We don't
like to use slang, but as its express
sive we feel moved to say if you
want to get in the "swim," just fol-
low the crowd to Suffers. It's a
great pleasure to us to know that
we've filled the wants of the people
and thu fact that we have succeeded
in making our establishment the
g eat gift buying cent? of Brecken-
ridge county is indeed source of
qualification. This much is GER
tain. The popularity of the peo-
pie can only be gained by merit
and as our place is now the most
popular in the county our stock
certainly possesses merit.

Its Our Observation

That if you want to please the chill
dren you should come to Suffers
to buy your toys The fact the
little ones crowd into our store and
make it headquarters show that in
their judgement we've got the best
stock and the things they like most.
You can bank on children's being
the best judges in this matter and
the evidence they give of absorbing
interest truly shows that Suffers
just now is the hub of their childish
universe.

Crowds.

THE immense crowds of people
= that visited our store in the
past seven days were as hungry for
bargains as alligators are for poodle
dogs. They looked over our selec-
ton of Christmas goods and the
way they made purchases was
caution. They realize that our
prices discount city prices and that
our stock is as varied and extensive
as city stocks. They had realiz-
ing sense that Sulzer's is veritable
palace of bargains. In other words
they had a good thing and they
pushed it along.

They Feel Rich

With a wealth of JOY when they
feast their eyes on the prodigal pro-
fusion of things that Old Kris Krin-
gle, as the German children call
him, has brought them. It's the
height of pleasure to witness the
glee of the little tots when they
pick up a doggie that can bark, a
do that can close its eyes, bird
that can sing just like they were
truly alive.

ATTRACTIVE
AS A THREE RING
CIRCUS.

SUFFERS Christmas Opening
has always been the leading holi-
day event, and this year it fairly
eclipsed its former glory. The fact
that the store is more brilliant than
ever, and that the stock of Christ
mas goods is the largest ever car
ried has stimulated public interest,
and for the past week the store has
been the center of attraction. It's
wealth of beautiful things has made
it as attractive as a three ring
circus.

WOMEN IN POLITICS.

The Gayety Of nations is always en- hsnced for weeks after election by the an-ics Cf election bcttors The man who agrees to shave one side Of his head if his candidate loses; She man who undertakes to roll peanut mile with toothpicl1; these and their kind are now in their glory. The charm about many of these bets is that both fools arc equally deep in the fco!e1'y- When the loser Of q bet is to carry the winner astride his neck for a block or push him a mile in 2 wheelbarrow, the bet simply amounts to this: II Smith is elected you shall make a fool of yourself publicly, and incidentally of me; if the ether man is elected l will make Q fool Of myself publicly, and in- cidentalIy of you. Few spectators have much choice as to whether they would be the man in I,he barrow or the man al the handles.
 Freak bets have taken on novel aspect this year in the unusual number Of women implicated. One rustic belle out CT Long Island bet wheelbarroW ride on Van Wyck, and now the whole
 
 town is prepared to turn out and see her wheel the winner the length Of the town. She is ready to pay the bet, but the winner, who is a man, was, at lat est accounts. showing the white feather and refusing to claim the bet. An other case is a Brooklyn policeman who bet cn Van Wyck, the forfeit being that he should marry within a week 4~er election day. The girl to whom he was understood to be engaged was a witness to the bet, but the marriage has not come off, and the policeman is undergoing no end Of chaff. This is 8 serious matter. If ladies are 10 par ticipate n freak bets, there will cease to be any limit to their extravaganza oa the part Of men. A man will incur much greater chances Ot making 2 spectacle of himself when his reason is unsettled by feminine smiles than he will when he has only politics to spur him on.
 This Geid for the new woman is thing of terror. It Will resulc in wo- mal suffrage ;he frs. thing WE know. Women might as well vote at elections as pet on elections. It is 10 more un- gomanly. If the sexes are to- be on an

IF SPAIN SHOULD TRY AGAIN.

If peace negotiations at Paris should be broken off, hostilities would be re- sumed ac once. The first blow in the new campaign would be struck in the Philippines, where Admiral Dewey and the American army would soon be in possession of every point still held by the Spaniards. The adjutant generals report shows that there were at Manila on September 1 fully S99 officers and 22, 046 enlisted men. This force was considerably increased during Septem- ber and October.
 Admiral Dewey had in his fleet on September 1 the cruisers Olympia, Con cord and Raleigh; the monitors Monad- mock and Monterey; the gunbOats Mon ocacy and Petrel; the supply ship Za fro, the collier BTutus, and the steam CT Nero. The ba.-Icships Oregon and Iowa have reached Rio Janerio on their way to join Dewey's fleet, but will wait there until Spain's answer is re- ceived. If hostilities are to be re- stunned these powerful battleships may proceed to the Spanish coast.
 The adjutani- generals report for Au- gust shows that there were then sub ject to the orders Of the government 216,0 volunteers and 5S. .G88 regulars. Under the order Of August IS about 100 900 volunteers were mustered out, leaving us with an effective army Of 174,717.
 Porto Rico is held beyond recall by our army, and within the last few weeks several brlgades have been moved quietly to Cuba. The transports are ready 10 carry 50,000 more, and most of the vessels Of he north Allan tic fceo could be sent on sh5tq. notice to Cuban waters.-Chicag Inter Ocean.

Comparatively few Of the claims fC.' pensions which are piling up at Wash ingtOn,> arising from the war with Spain, are on account Of death and wounds on Eho battle field. Most Of them are On account of disabilities ariz- ing from sickness in camp. This is one of the burdens Of the recent war which cannot be shifted to the shoul- ders of Spain. It is one which we must bear ourselves.

"A WORD TO THE WISE"

A local merchant recently told the advertising man that the bane of his existence was the two big catalogues issued by Sears, Roebuck 6 Co. aad Monf- gomery Ward 6 Co Of Chicago. He said he believed that every farmer in the territory had one of those books ard bought by mail a great many things that he could supply in his store.
 When asked if he could meet the prices Of the Chicago con- cerns he said he could. He said there wasn't anything in his line, that he couldn't sell at as low a price as Montgomery Ward & Co. if the customer would take into consideration the quality, the transportation expenses and the convenience.
 He didn't say these things in his ad. IF fact he is one of those intermittent advertisers who cannot see the use of advertising "all the time" He didn't make any effort to offset the advertis- ing of the Chicago houses. He deserved the trade, but he didn't tell people so.
 And there are many others.

When a pretty girl bets a wheelbarrow ride on an election many and many a vote is likely to bc determined by knowi- edge Of her bet. No man worthy Of the name is going 10 let her lose if he can help it. Woman may thus change more votes with their bets than the beautiful Georgiana, duchess Of Devon shire, did with her kisses.
